*p««h of Mr. Calhoun on the Sub-Trea
sury Hill.
[ Continued.]
This enormous debt was incurred in pros
porous tunes. Tiic abundant means ot the
banks, from the surplus revenue and a com
bination of oilier causes, induced them to dis
count freely. This increased the circulation,
and with its increase, its value depreciated,
and prices rose proporlionably. With tins
rise, enterprise and speculation seized the
whole community, and every one expected to
make a fortune at once ; and this in turn gave
a new impulse to discounts and circulation,
ti l the swelling tide bursled its barriers and
deluged the land. Then be'an the opposite
process of absorbing the excess. If it hud
been possible to return it buck to the banks,
the sources from winch it flowed, through its
debtors, the speculating,enterprising, and bus
iness portion ot the community, the mischief
would have been in n great measure avoided.
But circulation hud flowed off into other re
servoirs ; those of the moneyed men and hun
kers who hoard when prices are high, and buy
when they arc low. The portion thus drawn
off and held in deposite, cilhui in hunks or the
chests of individuals, was ns etlcctuully lost,
as far as the debtors of the banks were con.
corned, as if it had been burnt. The menus
of payment was thus diminished ; prices fell 1
in proportion, and the pressure increased, us
they fell. Though the amount in circulation I
be greatly reduced, yet the hanks are afraid j
to discount, lest on resnmj lion, the hoarded I
mars of depositus held by individuals or other
•ba oks should be let loose, and in addition in
what might be put into circulation should dis
counts be made, would cause another inunda
tion to he followed by another suspension.
How is this difficulty to be surmounted, but by
unlocking the hoarded means ! And ho.v is
tint to be done, without deciding the cunency
•question 1 This is the first and necessary
step. That done, all will be able to calculate,
and determined wlnii to do. The period ol
inaction and uncertainly would cease, and
that of business would revive. Tnuds that
jvro now locked up, would he firelight again
into operation, and the channels of eircnlul on
Le replenished in the only mode flint cun be
done wnh safety. Tims thinking, lam now
smd have been from the first in favor of an
early decision, and averse to all coercion or
hold ng out temptation to resume,- leaving the
disease to the gradual and sale operation ol
lime,with as liitle tampering us possible. In
the mean lime I hold it to he unwise to cense
discounting, and to adopt, an indiscriminate
system of curtailment- Its (fleets are ruin
ous to. the business oflho country, and calcu
lated to retard, rather than to accelerate a re
vumpiion. The true system, I would say,
would be to discount with business paper as
freely ns usual, and curtail gradually on per
manent debts. The former would revive bus
iness, and would increase the deli's to the
banks loss th m if would hum ease the ub lily
oflho community to pay them.
Having now shown how this league, or
combination of banks into be formed and re
vived, with the difficulties m the way, it re
mains to determine, what will be the true char
acter and nature of the combination when
funned. It will consist of Slate banks rein n
ing their original powers, that of discounting
and all, without being in the slightest degree
impaired. To these the substitute proposes
to add important additions; to receive (heir
notes ns gold nml silver in (ho public dues; to
give them ihe use ol the public deposited, and
to organize and blend the whole into one, as
the fiscal agent of the Government, to ho pin
bed under tfio inmiedia'o sup -i vision and con
trol ol the Secretary of tho Treasury. Now
what docs all this amount to 1 Shall I name
the word—be not startled; A HANK—a Gov
crnmenl bank, —the mo.-t extensive, powerful
and dinger,ms, that over existed. T/ns sub
stitute would he tho act of incorporation/ and
the privilege? it confers, so much additional
banking capital, increasing immensely its 1
powers, and giving It an unlimited control o\cr 1
the business and exchanges of the country. 1
The Senator from Virg nia (Mr Hives) wns J
right in supposing that this now Inal of ihe
experiment would fie made under very differ
ent circumstances from the first, and would
have a different termination. That too, like t
tins, was u bank—a Government bank, as dis- (
tinguished fiom the late hank, to w Inch it was |
set up, us a rival, and was nt ihe tune con
stantly so designated in debate. Hot Ihe cir
cumstances now are indeed different—very
different, and so would bo tho result of the ,
experiment. This hank would nut he the i
same rickety concern as tho former. That i
ended in anarchy, and fins would in despotism i
I will explain. i
The former failed not so much m const'- 1
ipicnce of the adverse circumstances ol the 1
tones, or any essential defect in tho system, ‘
as from tho want ol « head—a eomman sen- 1
sorium, to think; —will,—and decide, —for the
whole, which was indispensably necessary to
ensure concert and give unity of design and
execution. A head will not be wauling now.
Mr. Biddle’s bank will supply flic delect.
His would be not only ono ol flic resuming
banks, ns 1 have shown, lint would also be one
of the 25 to be selected- If there should be
the Momority to omit it, the present project
would share the fate of its predecessor. Air.
B.d do's bank at the head of those excluded;
would b# an overmatch for the selected, in
skill, capital power; and the whole league
would »nveitubly be overthrown. But if se
lected the position of his bank in the league
would be certain. Its vast capital, its exten
sive connections, its superior authority, and
his skill, abilities and influence, would place
it at the head, to think and act for the whole.
Tho others would be as dependent on Ins. as
the branches of the bank were on the mother
institution. The whole would form one cut r i
machine, impelled by a single impulse, and
making a perfect contrast with its predeces
sor in the unity and energy ol its operations.
Nor would its fate bo loss dissimilar* An- i
arclty was inscribed on the lirst from the be
ginning. Us deficiency in the great and es
sential element, to ensure concert, was radic
al nnd could not be remedied, lis union i
with the Governuvmt could not supply it, nor 1
avert Us destiny. Hut very different would
bo the case of the present. Add its intimate !
union wit h the Government, for which the
substitute provides, to its other sources of I
power, and it would become irresistible. The !
two, Government and bank, would unite and |
constitute a single power; but which would
gam the ascendency;—whe’her Govern nent
would become the bank, or the bank the Gov
eminent, is neither certain nor material; lor |
whichever n might be, it would form a des- j
polic uioney-craey, (if I m iy bo permitted to j
unite an English and a Greek word,) altogeth- j
or irresislifil -. |
It is nut a little surprising that the Senator
from Virginian (Mr. fives) whoso waichli.il
jealousy coni I delect, Jas he supposed, the
embryo of a Government bank in the bill,
should overlook this regular incorporation o!
one by b*s o.vu substitute. O it, ot the slen
d ir nitiermls of I 1 reasnry warrants and drafts
to pay the public creditors or transfer funds
from place Id place, h th»; public service

Government bank, vvn cn lie mid tm, wlililbc
j ntmoat confidence, would rise like a cloud, at
lirsi as !i g as a hand out which would soon
i darken all the horizon, is not a little, unlnr
! tunate i<-r Ms confident prediction*, that these
seminal principles from which the bank is to
Spring h ive all existed from tho commence
ment of our Government in full force, except
the four receivers, without showing the least
tendency lo produce the result he a.itu ipates.
Not only ours, but every civ lized Govern
ment ban the power to draw Treasury war
rants, and transfer drafts; nor has tho power
in a single instance terminated in a hank,
Nor can the fu< t, that the money is to be kept
by receivers, contribute in the least to pro
duec one. The pubi c] funds in Ibeir (muds
will be us much beyond tho control of the
Executive, as it was in the vaults of the hanks.
Hut, to shorten i! scusston, I would ask ho v
■can there boa bank without the pot,or to
discount or lo use deposites? and out ol which
of the provisions of tho lull could tho Treas
ury, by any possibility obtain cither, under the
severe penalties of the bill, which proh bits
the touching of (lie public money, except on
, warrants or clrulis, drawn by those having
i niiUicr.ty, in due form, and for the public sur
v co.
| Hut die danger which an excited imagination
j anticipates hereafter from the lull, would exist in
i sober reality under tho substitute There it would
require neither fancy nor conjecture to create one,
i li would exist villi nil its faculties and endow
ments complete; discount, deposites, and all;
with which immense means, guided l>v a cenlral
I and directing head, an 1 blended and united wiib
ibe Government, so as lo form one great mass ol
power. VVbut a contrast wait tin; bill! How
simple and harmless the one, with its foui pun
cipul receivers, twice as many clerks, and live in
spectors, compared wiib tins complex, and mighty
engine of power! And yet there are many, both
inlcllig lit and patriotic, who oppose dm bid and
support the substitute, on the ground that the
former would give more patronage and power
than llio latter' How sliange and vumleilul
tile diversify ol the human mind!
Nolar from being true, the very tact of the sop- '
arslioii ol the Government Itoin the banks, pro
vided lor in the bill, would, of itself, be die most
decisive blow that eonld be given against Govern
ment patronage; and lire union of lhe two, the
most decisive in its lavor. When their notes are
received in the public dues, us cash, and the pub
lie money depusileel nr their vaults, the banks be
come the allies of the Government on all ques
tions connected with its fiscal action. Thu high
er its taxes and duties, the greater its reremre
and expenditure* and the larger its surplus, the
more their circulaiion, and business, ami, of
course, the greater their profit; ami hence on all
questions ol taxation and disbursements, and llio
accumulations of funds in the Treasury, their in
terest would throw them on the side of the Gov.
eminent and against the people.
All ibis is toversed, when separated. Tho
higher the luxation and disbutsoiiieiiis, and the
linger the surplus, the less would be their profit;
and iheir interest in that case, would throw them
with the people, and against Ilia Government.
The reason is obvious. Specie is the basis of
banking operations; and the greater amount they
can command, the gicaler will bo ibeir business
and prolil; but when the Government is separated
Iroin them and collects and pays away i;s dues
in specie instead of their notes, it is clear (hat
the big hot the taxes and disbursements, and ibe
greater llio surplus in the Treasury; the more spe
cie will lie drawn (rum the use of the banks and
the leas will be Icll as the basis of their opera
tions; and, consequently, the less their piolit.
Every dollar withdrawn from them would dimin
ish iheir business tour-told at luusl; and hence a
regard to their own interest would inevitably
place them on the side to w hich I have assigned
them.
The effects - on (ho politics of the country would
be great and salutary. The weight of the banks
would be taken from the side of the lax consu
mers, whore it has been from the commencement
of Ibe Government, and placed on tho side of the
ttuv payers. This great division of the connnii
niiy necessarily grows out of the fiscal action of
tho Government. Take taxation and disburse
ment together, and il will always bo found that
one portion of the community pays into tho
Treasury, in tho shape of taxes, more than it
receives back in that of disbursements, and that
nnolher receives back more limn it pays. The
former are tho tax pavers, and the latter the con
sumers, —making the great, essential, end con
trolling division in all civilized communities. If,
with ns, the Government has been thrown on the
side of the consumers, as it has, it must be attri
buted to iis alliance with the banks, whose influ
ence has been, i i consequence, at all times sloas
dily and powerfully on that side, it is lo this
mischievous and unholy alliance that may bo
traced almost all the disasters that have befallen
us and the great political degeneracy of the
country. Hence the protective system; hence Us
associated and monstrous system of disburse
ments; hence the collection ol more money from
the people than the Government could require ;
hence tho vast and corrupting surpluses; hence
legislative and Executive usurpations; and final
ly, hence the prostration of the currency and the
disasters which give rise to our present delibera
tions. Kcvivo ibis final connection ; adopt this
substitute, and all this train ol evils will again
follow wi h redoubled disasters and corruption.
Refuse the connection!; adopt tins bill, and all
will be reversed, and we shall have some prospect
ofrestoiing the Constitution and country to their
primitive simplicity and purity. The effect of
the refusal on the patronage of the Government
would be great and decisive, Uurkc has wiiely
said, that the "revenue is the Stale in modern
times.” Violence and coercion are no longer the
instruments of Government in civilized commu
nities, Their reign is past. Every thing is now
done by money. Is il not only the sinew of war,
but ol politics,; over vvhii h in the forth of patro
nage, it exercises almost unlimited control. Just
as the revenue increases or diminishes, almost in
the same proporti m, is patronage increased or di
minished.
