This change in. tho complexion of alfairs may be mainly attributed to the introduction of the ex citing subject of the movements in South Carolina into thoSebate, through llieinslrumenmlity of John C. Cal houn' Miscall on the President fir the document? in. relation to this subject, at a time when the temper and Droceedings in. Congress promised a fair reduction of the Tariff and a happy jd:tb»meht of the controversy, mav be ascribed, when .viewed iif tho most charitable light, as the hist draperate attempt of this man to con~ anmmste that which he has been laboring so long to living about, vi*: the dbrnemborment of this glorious confederacy.* .. And there are others in the present Cnojreseof the United States, who seem determined to lend a helping hand towards the accomplishment of such a nefarious project. To the high Tariffites of tho present Congress, who asaa to be somewhat jealous of 44 Burr" distme- tions, we would say a word,* Von dtluJc yiuriclvci, gsntfemen, perhaps, with the hope that because the Ad- ministration and the Southern States denounce the doct rine of nullification, your unrighteous system will continue to bo cherished and upheld by the Govern ment, and yon H IWcd to l,..ld on with impunity to your OJ Cotton gains. We would say to you, you may now “ hug** tho former as a “ Battering unction to your souls,“ and roll the Utter as “a sweet morsel under your tongues,” but rest assured the day <»f reckoning is at hand—soon will you bo constrained to relinquish yoiir hold of the one, ami (lie other will di^solv your longues into gall and bitterness ! It ia true the States are opposed to the high handed measures «f South Carolina.

But here take another,'and this most .unfavorable' view of tho matter that can possibly be made out*— Mr. Atkinson, in his answer totho2Sih question, states that about 843.000 of the papers received by him from me, would be considered bad am).doubtful: admit then to give it its full force that this forty three thousand dol lars of b-id and doubtful paper hnd been thrown in the fi e, and not one dollar received therefor—and admit also, hul which is unrcns.mnblo, that every bill the Bank had in circulation had been presented for pnv- mtont. and there is then, agreeaklv to their own slate ment, $653,705 68, to pay 8696.705 68, which would he a loss nfabout 6 per cent.; and the Bank then under this most unfavorable calculation, would have paid 94 cvnts on ihe dollar fi»f every bill it had oat. Cut that • be money realized from fh$ above assets was not ap- rfied to the payment ofth> hill# of the Bank then in circulation, according to agrernient, or that after they wore redeemed, they were again reissued and pul in circulation is abundantly proved bv Mr. Atkinson, the Cashier, in answer tolhft 27'h que#-ti/fe, in which ho savs that the amount oftocat paper diicountqd after he went into office, wma $810,437 43, and in aus-Aur to the 8thqucsli*»n, he says, that the amount of drafts discounted durii-g Die same lime, was 5283.916 52.— Here, th*-n, we.have in these two intents thrvrnormons sum of $530,354 25,-dtseoiuitcd, paid eut, and thrown into circulation, fur money actually lo^netl, besides the other btisincas, in about live mouths aftrr I had left the Bank, and that too at the ruoft unfavorabls season of th< ve'ar, and whi c every prudont and well niatiaged Hank whs curtailing their operations. - , By reference to Mr Atkinson’s 9th answer, it will >v se.-n that I mentioned the subject to hiuisrll and Mr. Ellis, am! cautioned them against liberal discounts on local pap»*r a? that critical season of the vear, for ns I had been in the Bank as an officer, and my name i\i* to mos.l of the bilUf I i» f as extremely desirous tli.it it# affairs should go on well.
