Feb. 15—18—St. | Nov. 3—34—mtf MR. RUSH’S LETTER, Read at the great meeting j>f the 3d Congres sional District of Pennsylvania : Sydenham, Philad. Covin y, ) Wednesday morning, Jan. 29, 1834. ■ J Gentlemen:—I have just now received your letter oi this date, written on behalf of a number of the citizens of the, third Congres sional District, expressing their wish that I would give my attendance at the meeting to be held this evening, at the Commissioner’s Hull, N. L., and express my views in rel 1. tion to the U. S. Bank, the removal of the public deposites, and the constitutional power of the President in the matter; and have to regret my inability, through other engage ments, to be present. But I am flattered at the expression of such a wish ou the part of this portion of my fel- low citizens, 'about to assemble in public meeting in a district of which I am also my. self a resident and voter; and, unimportant as 1 should otherwise have supposed my views to be, I will, with your permission, take the liberty of stating them in this form, though oau only do so briefly. On a call from some of my fellow-citizens last autumn, I expressed my opinions on this same subject, under the several aspects which your letter presents, and nothing has occurred to change it. On the contrary, fur- tber and careful examination have strength ened me in all its grounds. I stood at that time, chiefly upon the evidence brought to light by the President of the Bank having employed and paid the press large sums to work out its own ends, the money being in part taken from the public coffers; an abuse that I hold to be the most unwarrantable its way, of any ever before known to our an nals. What have we from the corporation since ? Truly its own confession of the act and that it glories in it? The President' constitutional veto it likens, in effect, to a attack upon its character, resembling that which counterfeiters make upon its notes, and seeks to strike back with a weapon bought up with the public money, in the one case, as i would frame indictments and carry on prose cutions in the other! Gentlerr-un, there is an enormity in the whole course of the Bank on this single point apart from all others, upon which I am not now to expatiate, though it is alive with thoughts that are of deep public concern. There are, I know, orators and statesmen among us—high and famous men—who turn from it in real or assumed disdain, as some- thing too small for notice; but to my mind it is big with principles and results transcending in immediate and permanent importance the currency question, or any other to which the removal of the deposites, or non-rcne\Val of the charter, has given rise. I must ask your excuse for the allusion, my principles requi ring it, but if, notwithstanding the many pure and honorable minded Masons that there are in the world, I sincerely believe the masonic institution to be productive of public mischief, and in nothing more than its power over the press—what am I to tbiuk of a- monied cor* poration, wielding funds larger than the re - . - enucs ofthis nation, that tells tlie nation to its face that it will spend os much as it plea ses on the press, and deal with Presidents as it would deal with felons ? 1 have barely time to say, go on in your patriotic work of extir pating such a corporation. Show it no quar ter that honorable hostility does not demand, in such a warfare with it, I am with you heart and hand. The greater its operation upon the interests of the community, the greater the necessity, under the proved abu ses of its power, for its overthrow. Should it get the upper hand now, it will become a perpetual adjunct to the nation, ready to re new and aggravate its worst usurpations. No matter what the present evils of its down- fal, endure, court them all, before coming un der such a master. Copy the sixth resolu tion of the public spirited citizens of South- wark, adopted in public meeting lust week ; it is in the true tone; treasury notes—conti nental money—any tiling—rather than let the Bank get its foot upon your neck in this con- flict. That the President has. the full con stitutional power to act as he has done in re- moving the deposites, I have never had the slightest doubt; but breathe out your exhor tations to thO House of Representatives Your great hope at this moment lies in firm ness there. From the Senate, you have no- thing to hope. And what was there to hope from the same body in the most memorable seasons of President Madison’s administra tion? Nothing. The war itself, even for so terrible an outrage as impressment, would not have been waged, or its glories secured, but for the popular impulse that encouraged and sustained him, agaiust the open opposi tion or secret embarrassments which that branch of Congress, was disposed to thfow in his way. The'people, the H. of R«, and the President, triumphed then, as I trust they will how. “ Madison's War," that “ wicked war," was more fiercely assailed at that day, than the removal of tho .deposites at this; some of his opponents were for sending him to Elba to share. Bonaparte’s prison—others would have brought him to the block; all raised, the cry of injuiy to the country, in frightful amount and in every way—^public and individual distress—ruin—Desolation such were the unceasing and confidenfpredictions. Those who survived the passionate cteggera- tions of the one ebbfcb,-may hope to Bo so of the other; even to reap a harvest not less abundant in ultimate advantage. This, gen- tlemen, I am sure, must be your hope, as it is raine; and, as far as I can see into the future, it is a hope resting upon rational and solid foundations. There is in our history, now and then, a close analogy to the history of tho late Reform question m England, when the people, the House of Commons, and the King, ^re on opposite sides to the House of Peers; and the general movement in both cases be- agaiust that branch of the legislature re mote from popular responsibility, in tho one by hereditary tenure, in the other bv tenure for six years., . Reciprocating the assurances of friendly respect which your kind communication td me breathes, I remain your fellow citizen, RICHARD RUSH. From the-Standard of Union. A Voice from “the Tombs of the Rev olution.”—We offer to the consideration of our readers, the following letter, written by Mr. Jefferson to the Legislature of Georgia in 1802. »■ We wish it distinctly recollected, that this, letter was written during the second year of Mr. Jefferson’s administration, and not many years after he drafted the famous Kentucky resolutions. It was written at a time too, when the great constitutional principles of which he speaks, w.ith so much emphasis, had but recently proved themselves “ the law and the life,” by quietly and peaceably overturning the consol idating administration of the elder Adams. After reading this letter, is there to bo found, one solituf y individual “ of sound mind, and having the fear of God before his eyes,” who can claim Mr. Jefferson as a nullifier? He says, “ State rights, and state sovereign ties, as recognized hy the constitution, are an integral and essential part of our great politi cal fabric. They are bound up by a common ligament with those of the paternal govern ment, and form with it, one system of which the constitution is the law and the life." Is there one single principle of ntillifica- tion as preached and practised in our day, which hears the slightest analogy to the doc- trine here laid down by Mr. Jefferson? not. one. Nullification denies the authority of the constitution over the states. It depics that the state sovereignties are an integral and essential part “ of our great political • fabric,” and contends, that each state being an unlimited, uncontrolled and indivisible sovereignty of itself, there is no such thing us “the national government.” It denies that the states “ are bound up by a common ligament with those of the national govern ment,” or that they “ form with it, one system, of which the constitution is the law and tho life.” Will the principles of this great Apostle of liberty be longer perverted to sustain the disorganizing and disfranchising doctrines of nullification ? cun it be, that reasonable men will permit themselves to be led blind-fold to their own destruction ? If the opinions of Mr. Jefferson are re garded as containing the true essence of re publicanism ; if men are sincere in their pro fessions of confidence in his principles, when they have read this letter, they can not fail to be satisfied, that nullification had never en tered his mind. He was in favor of state sovereignty and personal liberty; but the sovereignty which he contemplated was constitutional sovereign ty, and the liberty which he maintained, was regulated liberty. With him, “the constitu tion was the law and the life.” With the uul- lifiers it is a rope of sand. We rejoice that this letter has fallen into our bauds, because it so fully sustains us .in our opinions of his political creed, and so tri umphantly redeems his name from the unjust imputation of haring propagated a doctrine, tending directly to the overthrow of «that great political fabric,” which he had so large-, ly assisted .in reariag up for the protection of the liberty, the happiness and glory . of his country. . • .
