. Capt. Donnell, that, an express arrived at Garcy’s
u F.rry on Friday last from Tampa, which place
he left on the i4ib, that it is true that Micanopy,
Juniper and others had left Tampa previous to
St be frUU insf., but their departure lias not itidu-
Kc, d a suspicion on the part of the officers of the
Army that they intend to be insincere.
• * Their reasons for leaving are, as detailed in
. several letters, that they became alarmed from
' the appearance of the measles at Tampa, which
tile [lndians mistook for small pox. Abraham,
■the itogrn chief and interpreter, is slid at Tampa

Miicanopy sent back to Capt. Page a horse
I which he had borrowed, and forty dollars also
liorrtVv.d from Capt. P.
MiHkinope sent word to Gen. Jesup, that “he
be Us Strait longue”—implying that be would

Fort Armstrong could not have been attacked,
as it has been abandoned at least a month since,
as it was an unhealthy location, and the garrison
■ removed to Fort King.

he, having been to Fort Foster on the Hillsboro,

From the Charleston Mercury.
To Nicholas Biddle, Esq.
President, of the Bank of United States.
Sir.-rTlie Citizens! of Charleston, at a pub
lic meeting held on the 18lh May, for the
purpose ol considering the expediency of the
Banks of tills City suspending Specie pay
ment, consequent on the suspension in the
Northern Cities,passed the following Resolu
tion ;
“ Resolved, That the Presidents of the
Banks in tins City be requested to establish
forthwith a correspondence with the Faults
of the other Commercial Cities of the Union
lor the purpose ot taking early measures lor
the resumption of Specie payments; that
when this measure does lake place, it may
be simultaneous throughout the United Statqs
and with tit's least possible disturbance to the
exchanges of the country.” *
This Resolution was referred to the Presi
dents of tlie different Batiks; and an allotment
made for the correspondence of each, with
the several Institutions in the commercial ci
ties of the Union, and to myself was assign
ed the honor of communicating with you on
the important subject which it compehends.
The private letter which 1 have already writ
ten you, must have prepared you tor this com
munication, I shall make no apology for ad
dressing you directly through the public
press. The great power and extensive influ
ence of the Bank over which you preside (to
say nothing qf the prominent position you
yourself personally occupy) would seem to
make it eminently proper, if the Banks are to
co-operate in effecting an early and salutary
return of I lie country to a sound currency,
that in tills effort iyour exertions, enlighten
ed by the experience you have had in the
finances of the United States, should be
be directed to the highly important object of
combining and concentrating the action of
the other Banks in the Union, to the accom
plishment of this mbs! desirable result.
I feel, I trust, all the diffidence which a
comparitivcly short experience in the practical
operation t of banking ought to iihpross upon
my mind, and I should certainly have vastly
preferred that the suggestion 1 am about to
make for AN EARLY AND EFFECTUAL
RESUMPTIONOFSPECIE PAYMENTS
on the part of the Batiks, had been offered by
one vvho could have' given his opinions that
sort of authority which results from a repute
founded as well upon tlie public confidence,
as on ripe experience and acknowledged abil
ity.
But the dark cris s in which the countty
is placed, ih which even the evils which we
are now suffering Under great as they are seem
compartively of trivial moment to those yet
in reserve; if some general and signal effort is
not made for its relief, would justify the most
humble man in the Unidn, however very hum
ble his own contingent, to present it freely,as
an offering for the common and joint service
of us all.
I must therefore begin my premising that
if the conflict which lias been going on at
least for the last six years, between the Gov
eminent and the supporters of a Bank of tlie
United Stales, or in other words, between tlie
credit system and the advocates of a metalic
circulation is not compromised orcomposed.it
will end in the RUIN OF THE COUNTRY.
I have been brought to this conviction by tlie
most painful yet unequivocal omens. I have
not tlie slightest hostility to your Bank. On
tlie contrary,ill tlie very extensive intercourse
which I have had witli it commenceing with
the purchase of your Charleston Branch in
1835, by the bank over which I preside down
to the present moment of our frequent corres
pondence, I have at all limes recognised tlie
great liberality and pub ic spirit of accommo
dation by which your Institution seems inva
riably to be governed.
Whatever, tlicrefurb may be my opinions
on the abstract question of the power of Con
gress to renew your Charter (which incline
To the rigid school of construction,) for one,
[ should have been willing under tlie decision
of the Supreme Court and the anterior ap
proval of tlie Bank Bill by Mr. Madison, to
consider the whole matter as a point definite
ly sullied fertile public tranquillity, if not for
the interest we all fuel in a sound and stable
currency.
But whatever maybe your opinion. Sir, or
on whatever ground I may be willing to com
promise a public question; is a matter ot ve
ry little moment provided it should be found
in a representative democracy like ours, that
the people are arrayed on the adverse side,
or an Executive should happen to be in pow
er ready witli Ins Veto to obey the sanctions
of Ids own conscience, his own convictions of
expediency and justice,; (or it you please ins
vindictive predjudices) by putting an extin
guisher on your hypothesis financial and con
stitutional or my own.
How then, it may be asked, is the difficulty
to be met anil surmounted? How is tide per
petnal warfare between the Government or
the supporters of a metalic currency, and the
Bunk of the United States, (a conflict which
promises to engulph the whole country in con
vulsion and ruin) to be stayed and put at rest
forever! I answer explicity. By the spirit
of conciliation and compromise, by which,
nine times out of ten, public danger is to be
averted, when force and violence prove utter
ly powerless.
Without a presumptuous-confidence in my
own opinions, (for God knows the crisis is
well calculated to beget, amidst appaling diffi
culties, any tiling but a too sanguine reliance
on ourselves,) I cannot but think if the con
juncture which will be presented to Cmgress
on tlie Ist September next, bo met by (lie
Executive and the National Legislature, by
the leading Statesmen in both its Brandies,
and by live influential Banks of tlie United
Stales, (more especially by your own.) in the
proper spirit and with the means and mea
sures that will be in the possession of all those
functionaries, public ami private, Specie pay
ments may be resumed in a very short period
alter the mealing of Congress, and m four
months nllor tho commencement of its Ses
sion,—the Constitution of the United States
be so amended that our Currency will be,pla
ced on a basis of prosperity and security which
I trustwill be imperishable. Before I ven
ture to indicate with all due deference what
appear to me to be the proper means to ac
complish these desirable results, it will not be
amiss to s«y a word or two on those causes
which have contributed most effectually to
produce our present sufferings and embarrass
ments.
' Tho primary and efficient cause of tho pre
sent embarrassments of tlie United States, is
to be found in a want of uniformity in our
currency, which results from there being no
legal or constitutional restraint on its issues.
This is a consequence of our complex form of
Government. In twenty-six States, each of
them assuming and exercising the sovereign
attributes of authorizing tlie manufacture of
money, to an unlimited extent, without the
smallest check or control, except what they
think proper to impose on themselves, no
other effects could possibly have been pre
dicted, than those which have actually oc
curred.
Anv remedy which fails short of gradually
arresting this evil, is absolutely worthless and
1 unavailing. Upon this point, I desire at tlie
, close of this communication to make a few
suggestions, which comprehend a possible
euro for this evil, which may, I think, be Use
fully employed.
These laboratories of paper money, in tlie
different States, more especially in the new
Slates of tho West, were pampered into exis
, tence, or met by a gigantic spirit of public en
terpnze, which sprung out of tho general
peace in Eurape, from tlie natural develop
ment of the vast resources of our country, as
well as from the extraordinary discoveries in
mechanical philosophy, by which a new and
almost miraculous itaimise has been given to
public improvements throughout the world.—
The means which map possesses of increas
ing indefinitely his physical power by the a
genej of steam, lias been most emphatically
illustrated in tlie last five vetrs, both in Eng
land and America. Theßail.Roads and Ca
nals, public and private edifieoj, and 1 may
4ay (owns, built or in the course of construc
tion, jn both countries, producer a demand
for the immediate creation of a circnlaiing
medium, which should be the representative
of tlie,amount of exchangeable value thus cre
ated, which the precious metals could not
possibly afford. Hence tho demand for pa
per money, and wiiere existing Bunks coilld
not supply this demand, Joint Htock Compa
nies wore created in England, without num
ber, under the Act of Gedrge IV., and tlie
sovereign power of the States on tins side of
the water, was invoked to incorporate new
Banks, almost to an indefinite extent. Tlie
stimulus thus given to the currency of both
countries, was mot by a abort crop of Cotton
in 1835, whibh, will, a superabundant issue in
the circulation, carried prices up at once to a
maximum, which prccipildted both countries
into a career of speculaliort little short of mad
, ness. Manufactures, goods, wares, and mer
chandize, cotton, land, slaves, and every chat
, tel, if we may so speak, real, personal and
m;xed, rose to a point of elevation Which
’ many ew post facto prophets have since pre
dicted were dizzy and insecure. Still tlie de
mand lor more Banks was insatiable, and not
to he appeased. According to the most au
thentic returns, we have seen that within tlie
last seven years, three hundred and filly seven
new Banks have been created in
, States, besides one hundred and forty-six
, Branches, which, added to those previously
I in existence, made a total of six hundred and
■ sixty-seven Banks. This produced a corres
ponding augmentation of the Banking capital
. of the country, of one hundred and sevenly
nine millions, and an increase in the circula
! lion of paper money amounting to one hun
dred and twenty five millions.
Now, sir, I consider these effects to have
, been altogether beyond tlie control of tlie
, General Government. That they sprung
from the contagious influence of tlie spirit of
sp culation, or if you please, the genius of the
age in which wo live, that they would have
occurred with or without tlie existence of the
Bank of the United States proper, or the re
moval of the Deposites, or General Jackson’s
Treasury Circular. In one word, they reshl.
ted from the great demand for a circulating
medium, and the unlimited powerof the States
to meet this demand, by an unlimited issue of
paper money, to which, in an era like tlie one
through which we have just passed, as salutary
as may be tlie clidck of a Batik of the United
States, on inordinate issues in ordinary times,
it would rather davo had to obey the general
impulse; of which I think tlie course ot events
in your own Bank, in Philadelphia, affords tlie
strongest exponent.
I am sure your own magnanimity and frank
ness will induce you to tolerate this remark.
Indeed nothing can illustrate more powerfully
the extravagant spirit of speculation which
infected tlie whole country, than the fact, that
, the Legislature of your S'ate should have giv
en your hank a charter for the enormous sum
of ihirty-five millions, with tlie immense han
king capital it had previously authorized by
law, without the faculty of legalizing the off*
, culation of one cent beyond its own limits,
, Let us be just, before we are severe in our di
rect agency in bringing ah mt a state of tilings
to winch the measures of our Government
may have efficiently contributed, but which
, these measures couid not have entirely pro
, duecd.
It indicates no rnns'erly spirit of philosophy
: tohe harping on mere secondary causes at
best, when the great scources of existing evils
• are left unexplored. The strife which is now
• waging on whom to fix the exclusive respon
• sihihty of great public calamities, is unworthy
1 of the spirit of those who must approach the
. distemperatUre in our public affairs in a wide
ly different tone. Let me however, not
• be misunderstood. I think Gen. Jackson com
i milled great and miscllevioua mistakes ill tain
' pering with the currency of the country.—
i That lie endangered its best interests by Ids
. attachment to a futile by potlieiis, practicable
• alone through a wise and gradual induc
tion. That as in ono of Ids early messages
he waved Ids constitutional scru-dcs in regard
to the charter of a Bank of the United Slates,
• he ought to given Ins asssent witli salutary
. modifications to a rechaner of ynur Bank, or
i afforded to Congress the project ofa fiscal agent
. by which tho public mone/ would have been
. g ecU re in deposit, and the circulation of the
t country kept as far as practicable in a healthy
condition, and under a case control. I more
! over think nothing could have been more in
i judicious .than Ifw removal of the public de
posites from the custody of your institu'ion,
j nor any thing more unwise than the Treasury
, Circular. The last was in fact a premium to
. the speculations of capitalists and augmented
, with many concomitant ills, the very evil it
. was designed to cure. But ail these singlv
s or in combination, were unable to product
B the great revulsion which lias taken place in
y the trade, agriculture and commerce, of boil
England aul America. As Well [ought the
| sails of a wind mill standing on a promontory
» which overlooks ocean, fan into existence
. tlie tornado whip(i upturns its mighty bosom.
> England with her Government Bank, and
. without a removal of the deposits of hoi
i Treasury, or a Treasury Circular, is suffering
r from identical evils resulting from identical
- causes—overtrading, extravagant speculation,
s and paper money. Tlie crisis does not call
. for, but absolutely repudiates, on the part ol
j the Government and the advocates of a Bank
. of the United States, the mutual indulgence
t in that spirit of reproach and recrimination, to
. which botli parties haye so painfully fesorled.
; Except to avoid the mistakes >Ve have com
s milted it is useless to look back. Let us
) move forward with a determination to lay
. aside all contest for political power, all parly
strife, and all selfish and personal prejudices
. or attachments, and in one united and iratne
i djate effort to rescue tlie country from ini
r pending ruin.
> This, I would fain hope, can bo accomplish
. ed by a spirit of compromise and concession
f outlie haft of tlie Government of tlie United
f States, and those who may be called tlie ad
i vacated ot the credit system which has taken
f sucli deep rout, and excercices such pervu
> ding influence among us.
. Il may be assumed that our present emb ir
, raasmeiits have divided the Country into two
, parties. That they consequently offer tho
. following antagonist remedies.
Ist. Tlie organ of the Government.'indicates a
• determination lu divorce Ihe government from
[ all connection with Banks; to have its own
strong bnx, and by compelling the payment of
• all Government dues in specie to bring tlie
. country to a hard money currency
‘idly. The supporters of a credit system
are simply in favor ofa re-charter of the Barik
of the United Stales by Congress,and believe
that by tlie salutary operations of this institu
tion on the circulations and exchanges of
the country, the present evils would be cured
witli the least possible disturbance to the
great interests of tlie country.
The limits tp which my own inclinations
and a due regard fur your patience assign me
forbid my treating the largo and profoundly
interesting topics 'comprehended in these
prepositions, in a manner which their own
importance would seem to demand. They
cannot, however lie passed over in silence.—
A must, I think, be obvious to any man of re
flection, that if il should ho dosireable that
cbm should either form the sole constituent,
or enter more largely into our circulation,
this end is only to bo accomplished, safely ami
beneficially by a gradual process; liy which
the country shall bo even insensible of the
change which is going on in the standard of
value. The truth is, this country ami Ore it
Britain have been built up by the credit sys
tem,, or, in other words, by a paper circula
tion ; if not at all times convertuble into spe
cie, at least at all times having its value
gauged by Gold and Silver. If Ibe Govern
ment had .he despotic power of undulating
every Bank in tiie United States at a blow,
and of burning every Bank Note by tlie hand
of the common hangman, it would only lead
to a ruin and trunstcr of properly greater
and far more desolating than have signalized
tho fifttsteps of tlie most sanguinary revolu
tion which has occured in the world. Iflhore
fore, Government was to attempt farliully
tho accomplishment of this end by the means
which have been announced, it must produce
a climax in our present suffering, and fill the
whole country witli convulsion and alarm,—
The truth is; the inslitututions and habits ofa
people are not to he torn up in a day. The
extensive issues of paper has had much to do
, with our present diffiulties, but the . emission
. of credits, in the shape of a convertible cir
. culation, when well sustained and guaranteed
i by specie and its equivalent in solid securities
1 have made England and America what they
i are, whilst a hard money currency has niil
r prevented Spain and Italy from sinking into
I a conditon of debasement and imbecility.
. The'mere fact ot not mailing paper money
[ d legal tender in ordinary times; is an elfec*
■ live security fur its solidity to tlie public. Mr.
Burke, in the grandeur which belonged to his
genius, said forty seven years ago, in speak*
ingof the currency ot England, as contrasted
i with that of France, “Our paper money i< of
value to commerce, because in Westminister
- llalj, 11 it impotent. In payment of a debt
of twenty shillings, a creditor may refuse all
i the paper of the Bank of England. Nor is
■ there amongst us a single public security ol
- any quality or nature whatsoever, ilia', is en
forced by authority. In fact it may be easily
i shewn, that our paper. Wealth, instead of les
sening Hie real coin, lias a tendency to in*
• crease it. instead ofa substitute fur money,
■ it only facilitates its entry, its exit and its
' circulation; that it is the symbol of prosperity,
i and not tlie badge of distress.” There is quae
as much oftrue philosophy and sound sense
in this passage, as of verbal elegance. The
( history, both of England and America proves
it. Limit the circulation of paper to its rep.
i resentative in coin, and the securities of sub
, stamial property, and a country :s at once
blessed with a currency sound safe and heal
. thy, and competent to perform all the trans
fers and exchanges of her trade, commerce
. and agriculture. To afford however to tho
i public, a security for tlie application of this
; limit, is the difficulty. This nevertheless is a
. duty and trust of every civilized government,
i and involves an obligation I hat can neither
, ba compromised or postponed. It is a duty
. which our government must, perform. If they
. have not the constitutional power, it must he
Conferred by an amendment of tlie Cunal.itu
, lion. It is id vain to speak immediately ot
i the destruction of every Bank in tlie country,
even if this measure was desirable, it could not
i be accomplished with safety in less than thir
ty years, and then by a process the most gra
dual and healing. The effort lo establish a
hard money currency for tlie Government,
and at tlie same time that the people should
nave ono of paper for themselves, m isl per
petuate our present embairassrrfelits, and ii
prac.icuhle, must end in calamity and convul
sion. The (ruth is not to bo concealed, sir,
that if the advocates ofa hard money curren
cy could succeed in carrying their favorite hy
pothesis mto practical operation, every man
whose liabilities amounted lo one filili part of
Ids actual properly, would he ruined. 1 leave
any man who is acquainted with the character
of our people, to decide if they would permit,
Col. Benton to pul us like mice into Ids groat
metallic retort lor tlie purpose of ascertaining
how Jong we could breathe in tins ex I urns led
receiver. 1 have no toleration for theories
that are to place nine tenths of the country
under the parental custody of the Sheriff, or
to consign some oftho best men among us to
the despair which sudden poverty brings upon
those who have others to curse and not them
selves for their ruin.
Whilst I feel the utter ablisrdity, not lo say
wickedness of precipitating the country sud
denly into a great and alarming change in
Us currency, I (jam not insensible ot the
signal evils .which are on tlie other hand inci
dent to a profuse issue of paper money, which
combined with a spirit of extravagant specu
lation, have brought us precisely to our pre
sent condition.

y, | fj I eh«II therefore now proceed with lliegroa.
to I test possible brevity ; but with tho inmost de
ni I ferency, to suggest what seem to mu to be
Ii apjiroijnate remedies to meet tho evils of tin
10 present crisis.
■y Ist. 1 shall speak of those which are of a
to permanent character, wlucn 1 think will ap
i. proximate to a gradual, though effective 'cure
id of our currency
ir 2d. Oi thu.-c of a temporary character, but
g by which however, the Banks might at an
11 early (iiiy resume specie payments, and Irani
u, which immediate rc.ief might ho afforded, and
d tlie present embarrassments essentially iint iga
>f ted, or entirely removed.
It Ist. No permanent cure can bo applied to
; e tho existing eistemporature of our curetn-y,
u except through a fixed provission of the Con
i. stitntiin and Laws by which tin: Batik Capi
i- tal ol die United States shall not bo increas
is cd hcnpifter; but on the contrary,lie gradually
y diminished by tlie failing in of the Charters of
y existing Banks until the amount of capital
s among the States shall reach a point in be
’* apportioned by some ratio' among ihcm, that
r shall he deemed sale and proper. Perhaps a
ratio that shall be eompdundi'd .of population
- apd exports, would be the satbst rule of per
il portion. *
i For tins and tho following purposes, it
- would be necesary to obtain a;.amendment of
i the Constitution oftho United .Stares.
• let. This hiijeiidmoijt ought to contain
likewise the explicit grant to Congress, of the
. authority to incorporate n Bank ot the United
j istales, with sudli limitations against the abuse
: tit power as experience may have suggested.
This provision ought to prohibit the G'ove'rn
i mentof the United Stales holding inore than
i one cightli ofthe Stuck of tho said Bank, for
i which it should he entitled to hut. one six
f lecntli of its repreonlative power in tlie eiuc
> tion or Directors.
2.1. Tlie Elates should likewise solemnly
i abjure tlie power of incorporating a Drnk
: beyond (lie amount of Capital fixed as the ra
i lit/, and confer upon Congress the po >or of do
. lermimng (he denomination 1 of the Bills ,to
ho issued, m order that in tins essential par
ticular the currency might be uniform
throughout the United States.
i The,object oftiijs .last provision will be
obvious. Congress might through tho instru
mentality of this power, gradually increase.,
tlie metallic circulation, by enacting lor ex
ample,that no Stale should after the year lol
ly issue a .Vote ofa le.it il ‘nomination than
Five Dollars, in forty-live of Ten, and in fifty
of a loss deiiomiiniion than 'Twenty Dollars,
a sclmtrie which Mr, Calhoun disclosed in
his able Speech on tho. Currency. In this
mode 1 conceive that the Banking Capital, pi
the country.might be brought down, tlie paper
currency diminished, and the metallic circu
lation gradually augmented without any dan
gerous disturbance of the standard of value.
It is a must fortunate,circumstance that, us
Congress will meet op the Ist of Beptuuibur, ,
tlie amendment might be passed byjtlnit body, ,
proposed to the Legislatures of all the Etn es |
which will be m session in the course in the
winter, and if 'unified by three Courts, become i
a part of tlie Constitution by the Ist of March t
next. ' i
1 hope it may not bo deemed unseasona- i
hie, that I should otter a lew reasons in fa- 1
vor of amending the Constitution, to place
beyond a doubt, tlie authority of Congress to
incorporate a Bank, and if conferred, that 1
should offer a few reflections on tlie expedi
ency of re-chartering yimr Batik with some
modifications which may boos salutary im
portance.
Although you may flunk it mere surplusage
to amend the Constitution of the U. States m
this important particular,yet the country lias
been so aeriOnsiy divided un tins great ques- (
lion, that it becomes a matter of tlie higiiest J
[iiib.ic concern, that Ilia Union shouiu btT not ,
longer agitatet. on tins exciting t >pic. ,
Yoii are, moreover, well aware, that most t
of the objections to a Bank of the Untied ,
Elates, have rather bcCti as lolhelconstitution- I
al competency of Congress to create one, |
than to tlie. policy ot tins fiscal agent, ot great ,
ami salutary use, if under effective control
and able and faithful management. i
By an amendment of tho Constitution overy I
pretext of opposition wj|| ho taken away from |
those who, m point of fact, must admit the i
great usefulness of tins agent, and in the or
ganic process by which oil power is Conferred i
under pur government, tlie question passes 1
1 deliberately before tho different Elates, bud 1
under sanctions which will insure a pnbl.c ac- '
quiescence in the measure. I think a prefer- 11
once should he given to the re-charter of the '
present Bank of the United Elates, forsevo- '
•al reasons which appear to mo satisfactory, j
In tho first place, l>y taking your Bunk, tlie
banking capital of tlie United Elates is ndt in- *
creased. A new institution would augment
Ibis capita] probably some forty or fifty mil- |
lions, and revive that licorpious spirit of gpe- ,
culation, which it is tho intereetoftho country ,
to have alloyed. Vour institution is, inoreo- ,
\er, in the exorcise of its full functions with j
its capital paid in, and in possession of all the ;
capacities for irmnediaiely acting beneficially ,
upon the currency (if the country. 1 do nut i
think live Government ought to incorporate 1
your Bank, without your stockholders should ■
consent to surrender one half of your capital,
on their receiving either the par value* of tho i
stock so surrendered, or its actual value as es
timated pro rata, by adding your surplus, so
that the stock of tlie present stockholders of
the Bank ot the U. Stales might be brought
down to about fifteen millions, that, tlie other
twenty millions be divided between the Go.
verninnnt mid Ollier Banks, That a Bank in
the city of New York should he selected ns
your Branch, whose capital your Batik should
lake ns your stock, letting tlie stockholders in
at par lor the amount of their stock, a Dank
be likewise selected in Do.Uou, IVovideuce, i
BiltimorC, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, |
Mobile anil N6w Ofldans, and llicrest ofyo ir (
capital of tiiirty-livu millions lo bo divided he- ,
tween tho Government and other commercial |
points where it would heexn’drent toe Iphhsll ,
branches. I would not, if I Ii id the power, i
give you a renewal of y.nir charter on anyotli* i
or terms,because this scheme involves no dan- i
geroos angincnOTtoii oftho banking capital i
oftho United States, which ns a whole, ought I
not on any account to he increased. It is >
true that in several of the States this capital 1
might besalely augmented, and perhaps if the 1
amendment oftho Coiistitutirio was adopted, 1
which I have suggested in emrie of them, Il 1
would he found that their capital had not 1
reached file ratio which might he fixed for 1
their proportion. South Carol na for exam
ple, will judiciously hear an increase of her •
banking capital, as it is not equal lo the depu
rate value of her exports, throwing her inter
n il trade and exchanges out of the question.
Still looking to tlie whole interests of the (
country, it would be of vital importance that
the process rather of reduction than increase,
should be promptly commenced.
I have thus far. Sir, very impeiferlly sketched
what I believe to boa probable cure oftho unsound
state oftho currency of the country. You perceive
that al least the remedy involves no sudden or pe
rilous change in cither its existing bank capital or j
circulation. The process combrns a gradual re- r
duel ion of (he one, and the gradual increase of |
the precious metals, by a withdrawal at sale in- •'
lervals. of tho smaller notes from the currency. Jj
I should hive felt much greater diffidence in
offering these suggestions lo your consideration, f
in relation lo the amendment oi the Constitution,
I- if they had not been confirmed, by nearly ll
- same views which 1 found hud been taken up I
in « distinguished gentleman of this Slato, (Ui

[( Having llius disposed of the pcrmnnim’ rorni
.j dies for the’debasement of our cuipeiiev, wide
j look for their ex'nrcito lo mi amendment of th
Constitution let me now say a few words of thus
which are within tlie legislative c. on potency c

| feet the ineiisitiea of diir Hanks, which can b
’ promptly applied, and tr im which llie power i
resuming specie payments on (ho .part of (h
■ Banks, may with very little delay be obtained.
• In the first place, 1 believe .nothing is vvahtin
f now but a proper concert among tlie Iciidiu

I ptir undcisliimling with the Guvcnimeni, u> eiia

i ’I he object of this communication is to brim
i about this concert mid lids understanding.
1 therefore suggest lo you that the President
of the Hanks of Philadelphia have a meeting
t and address a, Circular to the Jlaiiks of ih,
( , dj/'crenl Commercial cities of the United Stales
requesting the Hacks of each city to uppoin
one of its Presidents us a deputy, to meet it
, Philadelphia, on the second .Monday in dingus
■ ae.rt,fur the piie/tosc of conferring os id tic
means and period of resuming .Specie payments
that the same may be universal mid ■sinw/tatte

Slates. With lids view 1 Would- suggest that id
lids meetings,deputation should lie appoiii'ed to
attend the Session of Congress, that by a proper
understanding, llm Banks may promptly eo-opor
atc with! file measures of Government in bring
ing about the greatly to by desired resumption,
I have very little doubt with this concert, if the
Government will issue Treasury Notes hearing
such a moderate rate of interest ns shall not re
tard their quick circulation (oi tho instalmen.s ol
lint Surplus Revenue hereafter billing duo la the
several stales, redeemable in six, itine, ami twelve
months, by tlie Opposite Batiks, nud at tbeircosl,
that Specie payments tiny be resumed contompp
raucously with tlie .issue of these Exchequer
Dills. They would stand effpelively in
of'Spec’m, tuodemfe (he demand for it and by be
ing made payable at different points in tlie Union,
serve the purposes oi exchange. Before they
were exhausted, the new crop of Codon would be
in market, to', enable nslo pay 'our foreign right.
But at (lie present, the Banks are acting with
out the slightest concert, and ns far as I can learn,
without the smallest understanding witli i!\o Gov
ernment. Tho existing stale of things for the in
terest and honor of our country should not be
permitted to last one hour beyond ibu Meeting of
Congress,
Tim longer an irredeemable ptipnr currency is
permitted to eentjnuc, llto more.difficult becomes
the resumption of pay ments in coin. Like Opium
as you have very justly retunikod in your letter lo
nit-, liio,dusy constantly requires doubling until
prostration and death ensue.
What wg may do this year in redeeming our
country trqin this stupefying lethargy, may be
como impossible the next ; until wo have Vixod
upon us one of tho greatest curses that euti
scourge u civilized community, an inconverti
ble paper currency'. Wlteu this evil comes in its
full potency, and [taper is rejected universally ns
a legal tender by private creditors, as w ell ns that
great public creditor, tlie Government, and tile
Hherlfl' will take nothing but coin Cor his levies,
then Revolution anil bloodshed are not long in
the rear. It is in a period like this tliat the great
authority lo which I have before referred, says
“'That a man cun neither earn or buy n dinner
without, n speculation. What lie receives in the
morning will not have tlie same value at night
What lie is compelled lo lake as ptiy fur an mid
ilebl, will not lie received as the same when ;be
comes to pay a debt contracted by himself, nor
will it lie the same when by prompt payment lie
would avoid contracting any debt at all. Indus
try must wither away. Economy must ho driv.
eu from your country. Careful provision will
•have no existence. Who will labour without
knowing the amount of his pay ? Who wtjl
study to increase what none can estimate 1
Who will accumulate, when ho doss not know
(lie value of wlmtjic gains'! If you abstract it
frori) its uses, ill gaining lo accumulate your pa
per wealth, it would be, not the providence of a
man, but llto distempered instinct of a jack-daw.”
This picture of the condition of (he currency
in France, during her portentous revolution is
the type of what in the process of lime must fie
the state ofuur own, if the efforts of every man
in (fie Country, who has the smallest influence
adventitious or direct, is not strenuously applied
our redemption from the dark calamity with
which iFe are thieaU-nrd. The Banks in the
principal commercial cities may do much lo bring
about ttds desirable result, but without the cor
dial co-operation of Govern meat, they can do
nothing.
Anxious that this aid ol (tovernrnent, should
bs, afforded, I have referred with ~(( possible mo
deration lo those topics ot exaspcrieiim (mt the
tendency of which il is designed to fix oVm the
past and present adminisUaiion, the entire [c , g .
ponsiltillly of those disasters into which we hnv a
been precipitated. I could have made this Idler
redolent of sarcasm and vituperation against
those in power. But my object was not lo say
harsh tilings, to augment existing difficulties or
Widen tlm breach already subsisting between
tlie Government and tlie spporlcrs of your in
stitution. L deemed it ltdtci in the spirit to bring
the power of a matt of your eminent influence
lo bear to accomplishing an cfl'eclivo remedy for
tho evils under which wo tno suffering. 1 be
lievc llto Government with yourself and a few
of the leading Banks in the commercial cities of
the Union can in a very short period alior the
meeting of Congress, apply this remedy.'—
Until' ih preference In a course of united aiid
harmonious action of forbear,Hied, temperance
and moderation the cllort should be made to ob
tain an uncoinprislng and unqualified rc-cluter of
a Bank of llto Uui ed States; if in preference lo
looking singly to a euro of public calamities,,
those in bppo-itioit should alone seek to convict 1
the present Administration of the exclusive guilt
es bringing ruin on the Country, ami this offorf
bn made (or the purpose of anointing some new
can lid ile for tlie Presidency, depend upon it,
from ibis convulsion of faction wo are destined
lo pass through :i crisis the darkness of which no
nmi cun estimate or foretell. I raiinol believe
that tlie co-operation of the Executive of the Uni
ted Slates, will bo whhheid in uniting on some
Sale aiid practicable scheme fur relieving the
Country from ilicso calamities. The crisis de
mands (lint lie should rise above flic m-re tram
mels iff put y. To this ho will bo impelled by ;
those impulses of bis own ambition which must t
■find its aliment in flic safety honor and hsppi- '
ness rtf his Country ,
But in the work of remedy and conciliation, B
your Institution may bn made the rallying point.
Let us then leave no effort untried to accomplish a
this result. On it depend llto Public Credit, t
Honor, Peace and prosperity of our country. •
In conclusion; 1 beg leave to subscribe myself “
