Mr. President, the honorable gen* tleman from Maryland, (Mr. S.) says that the bank of the United States does not facilitate the collecti on of the revenue. If I understood the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Lloyd) and the gentleman from Maryland correctly, human imagina tion cannot devise a system so pecu liarly cak -dated to iusilte the speedy collection of your revenue, as that which is furnished by banks. Sir, I know nothing of the details of the banking system—I rieVer ft’as inside of a bank except two orth** times in the branch bank which h«s been es tablished in this city ; but I under stood the gentleman faom Massa chusetts to say, that when a revenue bond even of S50 was deposited in the bank for collection, if it was not discharged when due, that the obli gor was refused all further accommo dation in that bank, & that if his ac commodations amounted to 100,000 dollars, he was calked upon to dis charge his notes as they became due, the right to renew them being for feited by this act of default. I un derstood the gentleman from Ma ryland to say, that whenever any person was known to be in default at any bank, that all the banks of the place imibediate refused him credit, and demanded the payment of hjg notes as they became due, by exclu ding him from the right of reueWing them. (Both gentlemen assented to the correctness of the statement.) I have then understood both gentle men correctly. This simple state ment proves, beyond the possibility of doubt, that the bank is the most powerful engine in the collection of your revenue, which human ingenui ty can devise. Credit is the true ba sis of commerce! ‘ By placing vour revenue bonds in the bank, the want of punctuality in a single case to wards the government shuts the door of every bank to which the defaulter had before had access, and also of evirv other bank of the city in which his commercial transactions have been carried on. And vet we are se riously told that the operations of the bank have no influence upon the prompt and secure collection of the national revenue. It is impossible to resist the conviction that the prompt and secure collection of our revenue is principally owing to the influence of the bank. But, sir, the hank has another direct influence up on the collection of vour revenue. By the rules established in the hank at Philadelphia, every person whose bond to the gbVemment is deposited there, has a right upon getting an ad ditional endorser to claim a discount for half of the amount of his bond, and the part so discounted is imme diately carried to the credit of the U. States, and the bank takes upon itself the risk ot the ultimate collecti on. In this wav, sir, one half of the bond is collected At the sole risk of the bank, without any possibility of loss on the part of government. And yet, sir, it is contended that the hank has nothing to do with the collection of the public revenue. The gentle man from Maryland says that the scarcity of moneys and the alarm and dismay which the delegation of me chanics had represented as existing ;n Philadelphia, could not be the ef fect of the contraction of discounts hy the bank of the U. States, be cause that bank, as well as the state hanks, are going on with their ordi nary discounts. This .is true, hut the gentleman from Maryland had for gotten, that this delegation states that the bank upon the rejection of their me norial by the House of Repre sentatives had contracted their dis counts, and that a correspondent con traction had taken place in the dis counts of the state banks, which had produced the pressure ; and th^ pressure had spread alarm and dis may through the thy. That before IPey left the city, the directors of the bank of the U. States had came to an understanding with the direc tors of the state banks, af! of whom % wnfuVffV Shff had determined to resume and con- I. i tinuo ordinary discount* un* til the last hour. Notwithstanding the banks had Resumed their ordina ry discounts, the panic which had been produced did hot cease, and the scarcity of money, and the dis trust whieh-had taken place, still cam* tinued to exist in Philadelphia. The gentleman from Maryland admits ex pressly that die transmission of your public mone/ for the payment of the army and havy must be effected through the agency ofbanks^ but con tends that that object can be effec ted as well by the state banks as by a bank of the United State. My friend from Kentucky (Mr Pope) said that the great characteristic difference be tween the present government and that which existed under the old ar ticles of confederation, is that the present government has within itself the means of executing its own mea sures, without relying upon the state governments ; whereas the old Con gress had to rely upon the states for the execution of the measures which it hkd previously devised and adopt ed. This opinion is substantially cor rect ; for the constitutional depen dence of the present government of the U. States, upon those of the states, is confined to Us organizati on and not to the execution of its constitutional powers after it is or ganized. The gentleman frotn Ten nessee (Mr. Whitesides) has said that we argue this question as though Congress was wholly independent of the state governments. When, sir, I had the honor of submitting my reasons to the Senate upon a former dav, I expressly stated the cases in which the national government was depehdent upon those of the states, and proved, referring to the consti tution itself, that in every case Of that kind the constitution imposed upon the states the highest obligation to perform the acts, for which the go vernment of the United States was de pendent upon them. TIB* constituti on having defined the cases in which this government shall be dependent upon the state governments, t did not hesitatd to declare it to be unwise and improvident to increase that de- pendance bv legislative acts, when we were unable to impose any obli gation on the states to perform the act. T*he sOme gentleman has said that the objection to employ the state banks was the result of a distrust in the state governments rather than in the state banks ; and this distrust was unreasonable, because the state go vernments were composed of the same description of men who com posed the national government. If this be called argument and is entitled to any weight, it is a two edged sword which cuts both waysi It e- qually proves the Unreasonableness of the distrust which is felt against the government of the United States in relation to the exercise of the right to incorporate a bank. But, sir, to all this the most satisfactory answer is, that I will trust no man to do for me what I can do so much better for myself. Why trust any man when there is no necessity or reason for trusting him ? The gentleman from Maryland, in speaking af the means which have been resorted to, to procure the re newal of the charter, says that we have not procured memorials, to be presented to Congress praying that the charter might not be renewed-— we have not procured pamphlets to be written, published, and laid upon the tables of members, proving the un- constitutionality and iautility of the b >nk—we have not imposed upon the credulity of honest mechanics and manufacturers, 8tby lltat means pro cured delegations to be sent to pray for the rejection of die bunk memo rial. Surely, sir, the gentleman did not by these declatations mean to in sinuate that any one of those gentle men who support the bill upon your table, have had any agency in pro curing any application to be made m favor of the bank. I know that gen tleman’s respect for himself { his res pect for the Senate; his respect for the individual members of this body, as well as his respect for the general rules of propriety, exclude the pos- i sibiiky of liis making such an in*t- zviftficn* (Mr* Smith explained, by No. kaying|, I exclude every idea of such an insinuation.) Sir, I will tell the honorable gentleman from Maryland, what has been done by those who are opposed to the renewal of the «hartery I do not mean the members < of~tlie Senate who ore opposed to it, b'uf those who have attempted to inflame public opinion upon this question* Letters, sir, have been written from this place to induce the state legisla tures to instruct their members to oppose the renewal of the charter of the bank* I will ask the h»n. gen tleman from Maryland whether he does not knoftr that letters have been written for that purpose i The gentleman from Maryland has said, and I am extremely sorry that he has, that the Bank of the Li nked States had their agents in thin city’, for two sessions, intriguing with members of Congress to obtain a re newal of their charter. I can assure- 1 that gentleman that I have had ns little to do with the agents of the bank ax he has had. If, qif, I was deposed to retort upon those Who are opposed to the renewal of the char ter, I would ask, if they have not seen published in the democratic papers of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Vir ginia, extracts of letters said to be written in the city of Washington, charging the members of Congress who are io favor of it with being bribed and corrupted, and with be ing disposed to sell the sovereignty of the nation to British Capitalists ? Have they not seen, in the same pa pers, conversations detailed with great minuteness, which it is pretend ed have passed between members of Congress, calculated to excite pub* lie odium and indignation against the friends of the bill now under consi deration i Sir, I will not for a mo ment indulge an idea, that these let ters have been wiitten or -liese con versations detailed by any member of this body. The idea that su.ch hdis been the fact Is too humiliating, too degrading, not only to this honor able body, but to human nature it self ; to be entertained but for one moment. And yet, sir, the authof of a charge, as base as it is false, a- gainst my hon. friend from Kentucky (Mr. Pope) has, day after day, occu pied a seat in a gallery of the Senate, to which no person has a tight of ac cess, but by an introduction of one of the members ot this body.* Sir, the highway robber, when compar ed with the infamous fabricator of this base attempt to assassinate the reputation of this hon. member, be comes a virtuous and estimable cha racter* Such, sir, has been the war fare which has been waged against thfe renewal of the charter. Denun ciations and charges of political apos- tacy are the measures by which wes have been assailed from without and from within. Sir, I have shewn that the bank question was no party ques tion in its origin—that it was a ques tion upon which an honest difference of opinion always has existed, and does now exist. And, shall I be charged with deserting the stand* ard of the people, while I am tread* ing in the footsteps of the great father of his country i Shall I trem ble at the charge ot apostacy which has been denounced against me by the gentleman from Tennessee, (Mr. Whitesides) while I am pursuing the course which has been appioved by a Gerry, a Langdon and a Wash ington ; men whom the wise and virtuous have delighted to honor ? No ! while treading in the footsteps of these well-tried patriots and en- ligh.ened statesmen! I will advance, with a firm undeviating step, unap palled by the howling ot party rage, more terrific than the yell of the abo riginal savage. The gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Smith) has said tint he has un derstood that a proposition was made in the federal convention to vest Con gress with power to create corpora tions generally and without limitati on. Had I been a member of that convention, I should most certainly have voted against the proposition, because it would have been unrea sonable. Why should such a power • Mr. C. 4*4 not inuud to intimate that Gss. f.mith of Maryland, introduced the pec fon allud. * d to into that gallery, Dtf does he befim tiTO. nuodx&e hiqi
