Thu firm stand ,1 which ho assumed on the Missou i (lucstimi — his independent clo ,iience tij on the flooi o. Con , j gress—his admirable services at the Con tol Ht. Jamo’s, have made the deepest ini' session upon every ingenuous American. —The tto] ert a before us, too, is worthy of his abilities. We 1 repeat, that no man, whether lie subscribes to ( or repudiates his propositions, can deny to the * autlsir the possession of the great talents and on e gy, by which he is distinguished and with which they are stamped. —Hut the more we con sider them, the ulßre |,iofoumlly do wo regret ” the errors mto which, wchmnhly think.

Tile ea iieslness with which the Secretary presses “a eonsiiuuualiou so devoutly to he |( wished for,” is wo thy of all praise. The spec (j taolu which he exhibits to us, is brilliant and im ptessivo ; * The mo-nl iufliietiec which suclt an example would noeessai ily pioducc throughout llio wo: Id, in Hiiiio\i;i" appiehciisum, and inspiring new ; conlidcuce in our fee institutions, eannol he i.ucstionnd. Seventeen years ago tlie country j- cirtn-ged limn an expensive war, tiueumhered with a debt of mo: e than one hundred and t WON ty-H'jven millions, ami in a eornparalively du l fenceless state. In this short period, it lias I piomptly icpealed all the direct and iutciunl , taxes which we e imposed doting the war, rc , lying mainly upon revenne derived liom imposts, I and sales of the | iltilie domain. F.om these , sou: CCS, besides providing for the general ex nndilute, the fonlier has been extensively for- CI lifted, the naval and maritime runout ees strength- I cued, and | ail of the debt of gratitude to (he I sit vivo.s of the Revolutionary War discharged. I We have, moreover, contributed a huge share to the general improvement, added to the extent of the Union by the purchase of the v In able lorrito , ryofFloiida, and finally tie, jtti ed the menus of exiingutshing the heavy debt incurred in stislaiu ing the late war. and all that remained of the debt of the revolution.” To off.-ol lb s groat object, so dear to the heat Is of the peo) hi, Mr. Mi Lane proposes to < 'engross to aulho i/.e the sale of the stock which is owned by the United Stales in the Rank.— We hail this pro; mil ion with pleasure—mine os | ucially ij lien it is unconnected with “any pledge for the i one will of tire clnnlei ol the Hank.” —lt is sincerely ho; nil, licit Congress nitty pass tlio rc.'jiiisite law u on this subject. So fir, the Secretary is upon safe ground.— lint he comes next to the proposition for . cnevv ing the chatter i f the Bunk.—And here ho gives its llm piupci emilion, that “the perfonnanee of the duties thus enjoThed by law upon the ttoo.o lay of the Treasury implies, liowevor, no-cuin , mitmcnl of any other Department of the Govern ment, each being left lice loactacco ding to the ( mode pointed out by the fUeii-tifitioi).”—This , e'lvetit was ('tie both lo the l’i o d tnt and to llimßiltf; heeause ihcva eo used to each other ' ii on tit s itiesij. n. The President’s sentiments upon tint Hank ol the United tritales, lenininod unchanged. lie his avowed them frankly—too ' nun Ii so, in the o iuiou of some t olilieians, who ~ consult populaiily more Ilian tiuih.—Wlicroas, , Mr. .Mel.amt's are decidedly in favor of renew ing il, with such modifications as expoiiunco I may have diclaleil, ! We shall not go til la-g., into this subject.— Wo shall ol now elahuialulv discuss the con |. stiluliotiality ami the expediency of llio Institn tion. Mr. Benton's Speech, judge Clayton’s I’.ssays, tibd hist, though not least, the first No. of the last “ Southern Review” (November) state lire eonslillilional objections with great cleamuss and force. We especially recommend llm No. ■ in the Review—every hi.uo' il—lo the reader's attention, hut, in the mean while, we extract the following summary.; trusting that it is appo site enough to excuse the dullness of "nutation ; “ Tim Bank of the United Stales appears, then, liable to the following h.icf seminary of oonstitution.il objections: | Il is not included in any of the express or onu j. mernled | owers granted to Congress by the I Constitution. It might have been, had the Con vention seen fit, A Bank was proposed, dis cussed, and rejected in the Convention; and so obnoxious was t considered among the Stales, lhatit was n ged jn the debate, that the tceep ' linnet the Constitute u among tlie people, would he emlangcied by ado; t«ig such a ineasme. “No currency is no iced in the Constitution, hut a metallic currency of coined money , ami as that is established, and no other, evoiy oilier, ’ hovvevui useful or convenient, was ofsonrsu ex . hided, lint the Coiiveiition must have been a ware of. and considered a Bank t iijwcurioiiey, a- the Bank of F.ngland was known lo them, and ' the Bank of No. th Ametiea had been in opeia tmn since I (SI. 1 “The Bank of the United Slates is a corpora tion with exclusive privileges; it is not a public, hot a ptivale curpmalion, consisting of such iior sons as may heroine snhsr.ilieis. ihr ir assignees and sm eessois.” ( Jiank Chit tc:, See. 7.) “The Federal Guvennnent is a siihserthor lo the amount of seven millions out of ihhly-live ** millions ol dollars, and elects dr.ectors in pi-o portion lo its stock. It may lie said that this is, inpait, a pnlilie, anil in part a private corpora tion. fat it Im so. In the Convention, the power of incorporating v as pro, used lobegKen | to Congress gt iieiiilly-, and negatived. “ It was proposed to he given in eases where the run titular Hlales had not the power, whit It might, nevertheless, he exercised lor tho public good—negatived." e “ft was proposod lo grant the power ofincor poralmg, specially, foi loads and canals—ucaa lived. e “ It was proposed three tiroes to incorporate an I diversity—negatived.

Tho pow er of direct iucorjioraiion having been thus «c --, (statedly refuser! lo the General Government, ' can they assume it by indirect means by un foreseen, unsuspected construction I” * {l:viow ~len 6 UCS 011 <o show, that nl _ mough it may boos much runrenienee in collect ~ mg trad distributing the puWiorevenues, it is not % “ indispensable,” as Mr. Mcl.ane seems to con sider it— il is not so •'necessary" {to use tho epithet of the Constitution) as that the govern i incut cannot get on, and well 100, icithnut such an Institution.* MOlcLano, however, refers to n prevalent and niitkur'elij, lor justifying the exercise of such a power. Ist. lie rfcl'ets lo the Bank ot North America,'established by the old Congress in —and says that “ the authority of jho present ’ government cannot ho less clear. But was * that ease itself a very clear one 7 Had the old ; Congress the piopor anlhoiity under the Articles 1 of Confederation 7 They might issue hills of 1 credit —They did issue tlrcni to the amount ol millions—hut hills of credit we re not Bank ' —The very authority to establish the Bank nt 1 Noilli America vva-s doubted and disputed at the ' lime—yet the safely of the people was supposed * to he the Supreme-Law. The Bank was excits " ed from tho necessity of tho case. Tho enemy ", were at mir doors. Tlie funds of our country * vveto nearly exhausted. Our gallant soldiers 1 were sQlfeiing for want of pay—Many wero 1 without shoes to their bleeding feel. —lt was at ! such a moment as this, that Robert Morris; pro -3 posed the establishment of a national Bank with ; a capital of Ad'iO,ooo. And what analogy does ■ such a c.isis as that of I7SI t ear to our pte -1 sent situation 7 No enemy at hand—the public * debt on tlie eve of extinction—llio country 1 abounding in solvent hanks and specie currency. Mr. Mcl.ane also refers to the sanction which ’ the Bank of ‘.ho U. tl. mijt icceivcd ’ fiom the several anlhorities and from a majority * of the people of the nation. The precedents, ■ ;ro not ail one way. The Senate ot the U. S. refused to rc-chaitor the former Bank 1 —liy the casting and glorious voice of old George Clinton. Some of the Slates have uniformly protested against the Institution. Sometimes a .Stale, which has been at one finae for it, lias dc ( dared at another against it. I’onusylv ania was ' once against it, and New Vo.k for il—and now * they have shifted sides. Virginia las always 1 been in the opposition.—But the sanction which 1 Mr. M ( Lane, like Mr. Madison, draws from pre ' cadent, is iusuHicient. — Precedent is not recog ' nixed by the Constitution as its Fxpositor. That instillment cannot he amended, hut by three i fourths of the States themselves. ! Let in ask, then, why is not this appeal made. If the Bank he so indispensable; if it lias the ' voice of the People so stiongly in its favor, why 1 is not liie proposition made lo amend the Consti tution, so as to sanction the power 7 Is not this the wise and conciliatory course 7 Appeal to the Slates—ask them for the authority—if they 1 grant il, all (Jotihl will he at an end. All discord ■ will cease. Tho(|uestiou is at rest forever. But admit tlie | ovver —is il expedient lo re-es : laMish such an institution as this is, for the pte ’ sent fiscal facilities of the G ivc nmenl 7 When ' the present Bank was established iti 1810, the ' |ii lie debt was I'ill millions. Before its Charter expires, llm debt will he paid oil',—Now, our re | venue is fitiui 25 to ufl millions—Then, it ought not lo exceed 13millions. Isa Bank i f 35 mil lions he nocesstny at this time, one of 15 mil lions at the most will he sufficient in 1833.—A 1 gain; the modifications nccessaiy in the present Charter would change tho whole character ol the Institution. —At present, the Bank is a com plote mockery of the reserved rights of the States. It can establish a Branch) within llm limits of any Slate, without her consent.
