In a country advancing with the rapidity i
of ours, great changes, having a powerful :
control over its political relations and future i
destiny, most not uutrcqueully occur, winch i
may make it the duty ol those intrusted, tor I
the time, with the management of putdic uf.
fairs, in order to avoid misapprehension, to i
publish an exposition of their principles and
purposes. Such are the changes which have
taken place within the last few years,and which
have already hud great effect on the political
condition ol the country,and are destined still
to have much greater hereafter. Among
these may be enumerated the final payment
of the public debt; the expiration of the char,
ter of the United Slates Bank, without renew
al ; the fail of the misnamed American s\ s.
tern ; the rise and progress ol abolition ; and
finally the stoppage ol payment by the bunks,
with the consequent embarrassment to the
community, mid m the fiscal action of the i
Government, Never, in so short a period, |
since the commencement of the Government,
huve so irnuiy events, destined to effect so
mighty a change in our political condition,
occurred. That their first effect would be to
unsettle (ublic opinion was to be expected; |
and accorlingly there never was a lime, when {
the polittctl elements «»l the country were m 1
a state ofgreuter confusion, and when it was
more inq^rtuut that those who ure intrusted j
with the Management of public affairs, should I
recur lo first principle;
NOTICES
TO RAIL ROAD CONTRACTORS,
to manage
or to maintain specie
payments nnd preserve u sound currency;
amt that a Buttk uf the United States is neces
sary to check and control them. Do thoso
who use this argument reflect that it is an
argument against popular government itsi /j ?—
The people constitute the governing power in
the United Slates, and it is by their authority
that the State banks are created. Tins argu
ment assumes that the people are incompetent
lo check and control a class uf institution#
which they create, and that a new agent, un
known lo the States and irresponsible to them
or to the people, must be introduced to save
them from the disastrous consequences ut’’.nets’
own acts.
Is this a Republican doctrine? On tbtf
contrary, is it not the leading argument in
luvorot monopoly and absolute power ibrougit-
J out the world 1 W iiy do kings reign, nnd prin
ces exercise absolute dominion, but because
the people are assumed to be incompetent to
act wuselN, and protect themselves against the
evil consequences of then own ignorance and
error ?
Assume that the State banks are incom
petent to the ends tor which they are created,
and will necessarily run into periodical exces
ses, entailing great evils upon the country,
lo what source would a Republican took ‘.or
a remedy I Would he-say that the people
cannot be trusted to amend their own institu
tions, and that we must have an irresponsible
corporation to prevent these evils J Would
he not rather justly conclude that the banking
system ttselt was defective, ami undertake to
relurm it so us to bring it under the control of
Hie people, through their constitutional organs,
i at tier than to assume that it cannot be regula
ted otherwise than by the introduction ol u.
power competent lo contend for mastery with
the Government itself?
We reject both the premises und the con.
clusmis. VV e believe our representative and
popular Governments in ttm 3t ties, wh » cruu.
led these institutions, fully competent to modi-
l\ and reform them, and to impose all those
checks Mini restraints upon them which the
banking system is capable of rufeiviug.
'to awaken the people lo a due sense of
the tu ignttiide of Unit power which the ttdvo-
cates of a Bank of the United States would
create, let ns look at the amount lit “ men and
uumey ” which they propose to make depend-
nut upon one institution.
The number ot State banks nnd brunches
now, is 821). The number ol presidents, dir*
ectors, and other officers, is not over estima

number ol stockholders may be solely estiiim.
it three hundred und twenty tuousaud; and
the number of debtors, exclusive of slockhold.

whose business relations and pecuniary in.
terests are directly involved. The Capital of

We are deeply sensible that too much has
been expdued Irom the deliberations of Con-
gross. A numerous and powerful patty has
induced u dirge portion of the people to look
alone to the Congress of the United States lor
relief. Thfcy are taught to believe that from
thence alone can emanate the measures re.
quired lo restore the country to p-ruce, quiet,
and happiuiss, unmindful that we have a
written CoiMitutiou to coulrul these who ml-
minister tin? various departments o tue Gen

that Congress can do any and every tiling
called lor at this novel crisis in the affairs ol
the country. To guard against the further
progress of this final d fusion, and to exon-
crate ourstlves Irom unreasonable responsi
bility, we propose, at the threshold of tins ud-
