In common with (ho whole Mlalc Rights parly

Ibis one measure ns (lie commencement, and a

Now 1 have shown that Ihe government claims
and has recently exercised die (lower of creating
ten millions of currency. Ido not mean by the
government the executive,hut all iho department*
ol the government. Recent experience has shown
how frehle a check (longrese is upon cxecniive
encroachment. The power of making n currency
is the first and greatest of hanking powers. This
we have seen surrendered (u the government
almost without question. The next In the order
of importance is die power of discounting paper.
1 have us yet heard of no plsn ol transferring

I think il is clear that nol only any, hut that all

have the slightest doubt us having them restored
lu him on application V ’
Tho special deposits plan is heller on the
grounds of cheapness, security, facility of trans
fer, and as giving les* pitronagc. Thesis an
other view which it is important lo consider.—
The danger lo die currency from banking on go
scriillienl deposiles, and the special disadvantage
from Ibis cause lo the Mouth. Il is enough t>
reply lo ho'.h, that special deposiles will give Ihe
banks no more power, than if the money were
deposited with private ngenls, or sunk in die
I ocean. It is lo be beiu sacred and in no event
lunched. Mo dial eve., in dns point us view there
is no lulvanlage possessed by tire tub Ircasuiy
scheme,
I confess lint this withdrawal of so much cur
rency Irom circulation,which seems to lie so much
desired hy some, is die sliungol sbjre ion I have
to the plan, it will unavoidably cause an occa
sional contreclion and expansion of (he currency
which is grcally to he deprecated, liut if this is
the true policy, die Treasury circular was a wise
sod salutary measure, lor it certainly did prevent
banking on Government Urpcs tes lo a great
extent. It is no recommendation to me, (hot
whilst (his withdraw al of so large a portion us cur
rency will he injuriously felt by dm Mouth, that it
will he more severely felt in tho Norlh. Nor
that whilst allowing il immediately lo flow again
into circulation will fructify and enrich die Mouth,
i that it would at the same lime in a greater degree
Ixuclify and enrich die Norlh.—lt would he poor
con'olstion loi my barn being burned, In know
\ that my neighbor's dwelling house had been
i destroyed by die Name hand. 1 should nut cease
In pray tor rein upon my (laichcd field, because
that rain would be of more service to my neigh
bor than lo me.
Are wo to lie told that the money colicclr i for
revnnue, must he hoarded and withheld irom
circulation, because if it goes into circulation,
although il will benefit us, it will benefit the
norlh more. Much a acnliment is ungenerous,
unpatriotic,not American,notjs Mouth Carolinian.
Whoever can he actuated by it, however honest
> and sincere the feeling may ho, woiald act mure
woilhily If he would openly propose lo dissolve
a linion, which isnot worth preserving one me
inrnt, if such a feeling should become general.
It is a feeling (letter betiding hostile and predatory
hordes, than inviiihcrs of the same confederacy.
It is (rue that more of the public money would
be deposited wilh Northern Banks 1 Ifsuit can
only be because more of it is collected there. If
mure of ihuir murrey is withdrawn from Ihoir cir
culation by the government, is it any thing un
fair (hat it should as speedily as may be, be (brown
back into circulation, giving them back their own,
no morel The people of the North, Cod
knows, have sins enough towards us to answer
fur: they have jually excited a deep and abiding
feeling us wrong and injury, on our part, and tho
alrangestof all the sliange things of the day
would bo that I should become their ap dogis:.
Hut I have nu patience with those who menially
call up this feeling in mailer* such us ihe cur
rency, with which il has no earthly connexion.
Lotus noi hale one jot of our stem uud fixed
purpose of resisting the slightest encroachment
upon our peculiar rights and institutions. And
if we ever should find f which God avert) that
our union has failed lu uccompliah the purpose
for which it was instituted, let us leave it, Inr I
until then in God's name, Id us act ns becomes
our high charadcr and ilc-liny, with a just and
fair regard lo the interests of all, nut with those
narrow sectional views which wc have so much
denounced in utheis, mid (hat still more detesta
ble feeling ot mean malignity which would make
us forego the benefit of a measure, because that
benefit may lie shared with oilier*. lam oppos
ed lo the I’d Hank system for otln r reasons, for
the pali which it gives mainly, hut not for
the reason ilnil d.aeounts are made upon depos
in'-, and still less for the reason, that whilst it is
a blessing to bulb sections, it is must so to (lie
Noi ifi. No just or freegovo nmeiil could endure
twelve month* on such principles. But il is par
ticularly unwise in us, the weaker interest, to a
vow such, and it ill hceomss those who boast
such an equal and patriotic regard tu (he interests
of all section*, and such a high disdain of all sel-
Irish, sectional, and pecuniary influences, those
who set themselves up as llic very “looking glas
ses” in which nil patriots should dross themselves.
I know dial tho Mub.Trcasuiy scheme and (he
demand of ihe dues of the government
in specie, have Iho authority of a dislin
guiahed citizen us the Mlale in their favor,
one who has won the confidence of lha
■Stale by devotion to her in the worst of times.—
Vet it imi-l be irint'inbried, that there are names
of high authority on ihe oilier side. Il has been
well Maid that “live only use of great names is lo
set off against each other” and whilst the name
of Mr. Cslhuuu is one of great and unquestion
able authority, those of Chevec, Hayne, Hamilton,
M'Dullie, ‘reslon, and others, arc not lightly lo
lie regarded in any matter involving then honor or
the interests of ihe Slate. I* I sink from Ihe Hook
as lo all. Mr. McUulliie may and probably dues
prefer (lie Mub-Trraduries lo the I’cC Hanks.—
He d.»e* nol I presume prefer ihsm to special de
posits*, and I know that he regards Ihe proposi
lion to demand Government dues in s|Mvie with
tire same ablionrnco than Ire did when in 1834,
he denounced il as the must audneious imposture
dial had ever been attempted upon human igno
rance and credulity, having no parallel in history
and none in fiction, unless in Moore’s Veiled
Prohcl of Khoras-an, 1 repeat that I ask no au
thority lor these names but lo set off against each
oilier. Thraldom of any man's opinions is in
iudididuals evidence of feebleness of undeistan
diug, in communities of degeneracy.
The lonyciily of Jitl'eison, Madison,and Mar
shall. has had a most deleterious influence upon
lire freedom of thought and lire vigor of intellect
"f Virginia. They have lieen in some sort lire
thinking machines of lire whole Slate. 1 trust
in lord Ilnil we shall never erect such ainaehiue.
No people deserve lo be free,nor long will be in,
who adopt any man’s opinion* blindfold, or fear
to nl'aek errors of opinion behind whatever names
entrenched.
II a* il i*said, and I believe truly, then Mr.
Oslhun IS liiinsslfiu favor of special deposiles
with lire Banka, the only point of differem-e he.
(worn him ami his colleagues, is ihe qmllon of

LATEST FROM TEXAS.
We received yesterday a paper from Houslon,
dated the 2d hist, brought by Capt. Wtight of
the steam packet Columbia. The C. made the
tun from Velasco to the South West Pass in the
short space of thirty hours.
'The Columbia brought a crowd of passengers
from Texas. The Constitution, Captain Auld,
also arrived yesterday. Sho left Galveston Bay
ou lire 2d inst, and behaved well during her trip.
We give below all tllC extracts gs interest for
nished by theso two arttvals.
The Houston Telegraph of the 2d is dallied
tu mourning, for in that paper the fact is announ
ced, that
Deaf Smith is dead !
Ho died at Fort Bend on the 30th November.
His iron frame, says the Telegraph, sunk under
severe fatigues and exposures, to which he has
too willingly subjected himself. This singular
individual was otic of those few men whose names
alone, hear with them more respect than sound
ing titles. Major, Colonel, General, sink into
. insignificance before the simple, ordinary name
of Deaf Smith; that name is identified with the
battle li -Ids of Texas, his eulogy is inseparably
interwoven with the most thrilling annals of that
country, anil will long yield to their traditionary
narratives a peculiar interest.
The Texain Congress was in session on the
2d inst. It was expected lo adjourn in a few day*.
Resolutions had been possed granting tellers of
marque and reprisal, and every act of this body
seems lo portend further difficulties with Mexico.
An act har bven passed to augment the navy of
the country, and an appropriation for that pur
pose.
The financial affairs of Texas are rathei un
settled. It was hoped Congress would do some
thing to place Ihe credit of lire newJßepublic on
a sure and sound hasie. An officer of govern
ment had gambled away S3OOO of the public
funds. The Texian people think more of fight
ingjust nrw than they do the future
stahlity of their government. Many eyes hend
toward the walla of Mexico, and the prevailing
feeling isdomanin and conquest.
The health of President Houslon is very had.
Ho is suffering greatly frum a wound received
while fighting the battles ot his. country.
