Columbus, April 6—47—tf MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ] Returning the Bank Bill, with hit Objections, fee. To tub Senate: Tho bill “ to modify and continue” tho act entitled “ An net to incorporate the subscribers to tho Bank of tite United Stiu'es,” whs presented to mo on the 4th July hist. Having considered it with that solemn iOgat'.'l to the principles of the Constitution wide.': the tiny was calculated to inspire, und como to f.'>o conclusion that it Ought uot to bocome t» 'latVr I herewith return it to tho Senate, in which <t origin ated, with my objections. A Bank of iho United. States is, in many respects, convenient fortho Government, and useful to tho people. {Entertaining litis opinion, and deeply impressed with the bclidf that some of I A) powers ond privileges possessed by the existing bunk are unauthorized by the Constitution, subversive of the rights of the Sfutcs, und dangerous to tl)e libetlies of tho people, 1 felt it my duty, at an early period' of niy administration, to call the attention of Congress to the practicability of orgunizing an institution combining all its advanta ges, and obviutiug these objections. I sincerely regset, that, in the act before me, 1 cun perceive none of tlioso inodifi- cations of tho bank chatter which are no* cessury, in my opinion, to mtike .it com phlible with justice, with sound policy, or with tho constitution of onr country. The present corporate body, denomina ted tho President, Directors, and Com pany ol tire Bank of tite United Stales, will have existed, at the timu this act is intended to take effect, twenty years. It enjoys an exclusive privilege of banking, under (lie authority of the General Go vernment, a monopoly ef its favor und support, and, as a necessary consequence, almost a monopoly of tho foreign mid do mestic exchange. Tito powers, privile ges, and favors bestowed upon it in the original charter, by increasing the value ol tite stock far ahovv its par value, ope rated us a gratuity of many millions to tho stockholders. An apology may bo found for the fail, tiro to guard against Ibis result, in tite con sideration that the effect of the original act ef incorporation could not bo certain ly foreseen at the time of its passage.— The act bnforo me'proposcs uiiolher gra tuity to the holders of tho same stock, and in many cases, to tho same tnon, of at least soyen millions more. Tiiis dona- iron Bnds no apology in any uncertainty as to the effect df tho act. On nil hands it is conceded that its passage will increase, at least twenty or thirty per cent, more, ihe market prico of tho stock, subject to the paymeut of the annuity of $200,000 per yoar, secured hy the act; thus adding, in a moment, one fourth to its par Value. It is not our own citizens only who are to receive the bounty of our Government. More than eight millions of the slock of this bank are hold by foreigner*. By this act, the American- Republican proposes virtually to make 'Item a present of some millions of dollars. For tlioso grutuities to foreigners, und to some of our own Opu lent citizens, the act secures no equivalent whatever. They are the certain gains of the present stockholders under the op eration of. this net, after muking full al lowance for tho payment of the bonus.

I NFORMS the Printers generally that this mu chine is so constructed ns to be applied to any common Printing Press. It is attached by the rounee, and adds very liltlo to tho labor of the Pressman. Having throe composition Rollars, besides the distributing Rollur, the distribution is sufficient for the Urgent and heaviest form. The inking Hollar is propelled by weights, and goes twice over the foi'm. The quantity of ink taken can be regulatod with accuracy, thus preserving a uniformity of color unattainable by hand; and as it dispohses with the Rollur Boy, it is an object of importance to Printers, both on the Hcore of eco nomy and doing good work. Printers wishing to obtain the ubovc, by giving notice to tho Agent, they shall he immediately at tended to. E. 8. NORTON, June 23—7 Columbus Ga.

Coliunbn?, May 31—3 vilegns, tiro granted at tho expense of the public, which ought to receive a fair equivalent. Tho many millions which tiiis act proposes to bestow on the stock holders oi the existing bank, must come directly or indirectly out of the earnings of the American People, it is due to them, therefore, if their Government sell monopolies and exclusivo privileges, that they should at least exact for them as much as they are worth in opon market.— Tho value of the monopoly in this case ’may be corractly ascertained. The 28,- 000,000 of stock would probably be at an advance of fifty per cent, and command in market at least forty-two millions of TO PRINTERS. TUB SUHSCHIIIEIt, AGENT FOR Woods Inking Machinc,\ dollars, subject to tho payment of the .*) present bonus. Tho present value of the monopoly is seventeen millions of dollars, r JOII PRINTING Neatly Executed at this Office. and this the act proposes to sell for three millions, payable in fifteen annual instal ments of $200,000 each. It is not conceivable bow the present stockholders can have any claim to the special favor of tho Government. Tho present corporation lias enjoyed its mo nopoly during thu period stipulated in the original contract. If we must have such a corporation why should not the. Gov ernment sell out tho whole slock, und thus secure to tho people the full market value of the privileges gratitedl Why should not Congress cicule and sell twenty-eight millions of stock, incorporating the pur chasers with ail the poweis and privileges secured in this act, ami putting the pie- niitiui upon the sales into the Treasury! But this act does not permit competi tion iu the purchase of this monopoly.— It seems to bo predicated on tlie erroneous idoa, that the present stockholders huvoa prescriptive right not only to tho favor, but to the bounty of Government. It ap pears that more than a fourth part of the stock is held by foreigners, and the resi duo is held by a few hundred of our own citizens, chiefly of the richest class. For their boneflt does this act cxcludo the whole American people from competition in the purchase of this monopoly, and dis pose of It for many millions less thin, it is worth. This seems the Irss excusable, becuuse some of our citizens, not now stock holders, petitioned that the door of competition might bo opened, and offered to take a charter on terms mnch ntoro favorable to the Government and country. But this proposition, although jnndu by. men whoso aggregate wealth is believed to bo equal to all the ,private stock in tho existing bank, has been set aside, auil tliO bounty of our Government is proposed to bo again bestowed on the few who have been fortunate enough to secure the stock, and at this moment wield the power of the existing institution. I cannot porceivo j .\hl> justice or policy of this cou.su. If our Government must sell monopolies, it would scv'ut -lo bo its duly to take nothing less than their foil Value ; and if gratuities must be made ones in fifteen or Twenty years, let them uot be bfstoivcd on the subjects of a for oign government, nor upon a designated and favored class of men in our own cbnnlry. It is but justice nnd good policy, as far as the uutitre of tho cose will admit, to confine our fnvors to our own fellow-citizens, and let each in his turn enjoy an opportunity to profit In our bounty. I„ ,|.e bearinp ol the uc't before me, upon these points, I find am ple reason, why >t should not become a 11 has been urged as an argument in favor of rechortertng tho present bank, that the' calling in its Ioann will produce great em barrassment and distress. The 6 time «1. lowed to close Us concerns is ample; and lf H c 1,S , b< i u " we , mann fi ed . ft* pressure will be light, and hoavv only in cose its management has been bad. If, therefore. it shall produce distress, tho fault will bo us own; and it would furnish a reason a- gamst renewing a power whiob lies beeu -«> obviously abused. But will there over “‘Tf, "T"' tea,on will bo less powerful? To acknowledge its fofee, is to admit tljat the bank ought to be perpet- T iTi’J* Sa conse quence, the present stockholders, and those inheriting their rights as successors, bo established n pri- viteged order, clothed both with great no. luteal power, and enjoying immense pe- cuninry advantages, from their connection wiili tho Government. The modifications of the existing char, ler proposed by this act, are not such, in my view, as make it consistent with tho rights of the Stales or tho liberties of tho people. The qualification of the right of the bauk to hold real estate, the limitelion of us power to establish branches, and the power reserved to Congress to forbid the circulation of small notes, are restric tions comparatively of liulo value or im portance. All the objectionable princi ples or the existing corporation, und most ol its odious features, are retained without almviaiion* The fourth section provides "that the notes or bills of -the said corporation, ul. though the same be on the ficei thereof, respectively, made payable at one place only, shall, nevertheless, ho received bv the said corporation at the bank, or at any ol the offices of discount and deposito thereof, if tendered iu liquidation or pay. mentor any balance or balances duett) said corporation, or to such office xX dis count and deposite, from apy other incor porated bank,'’ This provision secures to tho State banks a legal privilege in tho Bank of tile United States, which is with- held from all private Citizens. If a State bank in Philadelphia owe the Bank of tho United Stutes, and have notes issued by tho St. Loots branch, it can pay the debt with those notes; but if a toerchnnt, me- chuni'c, or other private citizen be ia liko circumstances, he cannot, by law, pay his debt with those notes, but must sell them at a discount, or Send them ttt St. Louis to be cashed. This hpou conceded to the State banks, though not unjust in it self, Si most odious; because it does not measure out equal Justice fo tho high and the low, the rich and the poor. To tho extent of its practical effect, it is a bond of union among the banking establish ments of the nation, erecting them into an interest separate from that of the people; and its necessary tegdeucy is to unite thu Bank of tho United Slates and the Stuto banks iu any measure which may bo thought conducivo to their common inter est. . Tho ninth section of the act recogni zes principles ot worse tendency thun uny provision Of the presept charter. 4 It enacts that "tho cashier of tho bank annually report to the Secretary oltbu Treasury the names of all stockholders who aro not resident citizens ol the Uni ted States; and cn tho application of thu Treasurer of any State, shall make out antj transmit to s'jch Treasurer, a list of stockholders residing iu, or citizens of such State, with the amount of stock own ed by oath." Although this provision, taken in connection with a decision of tho Supreme Court, surrenders, by its sb- lence, the right of the States to tax the banking institutions created by this cor poration, under the name of branches throughout the Uoion, it is evidently in- tended to bo construed as a concession of their right to tax that portion of the stock which ina} be held by ihcir own citizens and residents. In this light, if tho act becomes a law, it will be undeistood by Iho States, who will probably proceed t*>
