The old Bnuk of the United State* possessed
« capital of only cleveu nmliou* of dollar*, which
was found fully suflicieut to enable it, with des
patch nod safety, to perform all the fuuotions re-
auired of it by the government. The capital of
tbft present haoh is thirty-five millions of dollars,
lit least twenty-four more than experience has
proved to he nteeteary to "uitUe i. bank io perform

1 he '■ nts whit h is exacted from the bank, is
4 confession upon the f n o of the act, tlitit the
powers granted by it are greater than are “tieces-
rjry" to its character to a fiscal agent. I he (in
vert! ment doss not tax its officers and ngeuts for
the privileges ofserving It- The bonus ol a mil
lion and a half, required by tho original charter,
trad that of three millions proposed by this act,
are not exacted for tho privilege of giving “the
necessary facilities far transferring tho pnhlie
fends from place to place, within the Puitei!
States or tho Territories thereof, and for distribu
ting th? saw in payment of tho public creditors,
without charging comaiis-dnn or claiming allow
ituce on account f the difference of exchange,”
as retptired by tho net of incorporation; hut for
something more honefieial to the stockholders.—
The original act tied'res, that if (the bonus) is
{ ranted “in consideration of tite exclusive privi-
eges and benefits'conferred by this act upon the
said bank;’’ and tho.net before mo declares it to
bo *‘in con’d {oration of tin exclusive benefit* and
ptivilogM oantitiuiid by this act to the said corpo
ration. for fifteen years as aforesaid.” It is tit are-
fore, for “exclusive privileges and benefits,” con
ferred for their own use aiuhcitialuiricut, and not
for the advantage of the Government, that ji bo
ons is exacted. These surplus powers, for which
th> bank is require,I to pay. cannot bei “nteclta{y v
to make it the fiscal ast'tit of tho Treasury. If
they svero, the action'of a bonus for them would
tot be “proper.” .
ft is maintain <d by some that this hank is n
mean* of oxocu ieg the constitutional poorer “to
coin ru':r,.jv. and regulate tho value thereof.”—
Congress in, establish 'd a mint to coin money,
pn.i passed laws to regulate the value thereof.—
Tbs money so rained, with its value so regulated-
and such foreign coins as Congress may adopt,
are the only currency known to tlie constitution.
Hut if they "have other power In regulate tho cur
rency. it was conferred to bo exercised by them
selves and not to bo transferred to a corporation.
If tho hank bo est tblish-sd for that purpose, with a
charter ttnaltoreWc without its consent, Congress
have parted with their power for a term of years,
daring which tho constitution is a dead letter. I*
is neither nee 's* try or proper to transfer its legis
lative power to such a bank, and therefore uticou-
btitntional.
My its silence, const lorcd in connexion with the
decision oftho Supremo Court, in the case nf'M*-
Ctillock against tho Stats of Maryland, this act
take* from the States tho power to tax a portion
of jJ'o banking hnsiues* carried on w ithin their
limits, in subversion of one of the strongest bar
riers which secured them against federal encroach
ments. Ranking, like fanning, manufacturing,
or n;iy other occupation or profession, is a bttsi-
nets, the'right to follow which is not originally de-
rivod from tho Wsvs. Every citizen, and every
company of citizens. in all our State*, possessed
tho right until the .State Legislatures deemed it
S nod police to prohibit private banking by law.—
F tho prohibitory State laws wore now repealed,
every citizen would now possess tho right. Tito
Statu hanks tiro a qualified restoration of tho right
which has boon taken away by the laws against
banking, guarded by such provisions and limita-
flous as, in tha opinion of the State Legislatures,
tho public interest roqnires. These corporations,
nnloss there ho au exemption in thoir charter, nre
liko private bnnkors and hanking companies,
subject t > state taxation. Tho manner in which
theso taxes shall bo laid, depends wholly on le
gislative discretion. It may he npnn the bank,
tmon tho stock, upon tho profits, or in nny other
mode which tho sovereign power shall will.
Upon the formation of tho constitution, the
states gunrded their power with peculiar jealousy.
They surrendered it only a* it regards imports ami
exports. In relation to every other object within
their jurisdiction, whethor persons, property, bu
siness, or professions, it was secured iu as ample
a manner as it was bofnre possessed. Ail per
sons. though United States' officers, nre liablo to
n poll tax by the states within which they reside;
the lands of the United States are liable to tjie
Usual land tax, except in the new states, from
whom agreements that they will not t ix unsold
lands, are exacted when they nre admitted into
tho Union: horses, Wagons, nny beasts, or vehi
cles, tools, or property, belonging to private citi
zens, though employed in the scrvico of tho Unit
ed States, aro subject to state taxation. Every
private business, whether curried on hy nn officer
of the general government or not. whether it bo
mixed .with public concerns or not, even if it be
carried on by tho government of tho U, States it
self. separately or in partnership, falls within tho
scopo of tho t.rxiug power of tho state. Nothing
comoVmoro fully within it than hanks and the
bnsines* of banking, by whomsoever instituted
nod carried on. Over thin whole subject matter
It is just ns absolute, unlimited,, and uncontrotv

Experience should teach us wisdom. Most of
the difficulties our government now encounters,
and most of the dangers svltich impend over our
Union, have sprung from an abandonment of the

If oar power over tp«ms is so nbsnlutc, that
tho ri up re no Court triHR^ipH ia question the
constitiitionaiitv of au act qf Congress, the sub
ject of which “ts not prohibited, a iv i is really cul

the Goventmetit.” although,' ns io the case before
me, it takes n'way powers expressly granted to
Congresf, mid rights seriipnl.nt-iy reserved to the
State*, it becomes us to proceed in ourlcgisiatimi
with tho utmost caution. Though not directly,
our Otvn. powers, and tbs rights'of the States,
may bo indirectly legislated away in the use of
means to execute substantive powers. We may
not enact that Congress shall not have the power
of exclusive legislation overthe District of Colum
bia, but we may pledge the faitb of the L'liiled
ritates that a means of executing other powers
it shall not boexeiciscd for twenty years or for
ever. Wo may not pass au act prohibiting the
States to. tax the hanking business carried on
within their limits, hut we may. as n in tins of ex
(•curing our powers over other object*,-place that
business iu the' hands of our ageuts, anti tln-n de-
i-laro it exempt from State taxation in their h inds.
Thu* may our own powers and the fights of the
States, which we cannot directly curtail or iu*
vade, be frittered away and extinguished in the
use of menus employed by us tu execute other
powers, That a Irauk of the L' nited .States, com
petent to ail duties which iray l.e required by the
Government, might he so organized as not to in
fringe on our own delegated powers or the reserv-
rights of the ritales, 1 do not entertain a doubt.
Had the Executive been culled upon to furiiish
the project of such an institution, the duty would
have been cheerfully performed. In the absence
of such a eall, it is obvhntdy proper that he
shimid confine himself to pointing out those prom
inent features in the net presented, which in-bis
opinion, make it incompatible with the constitu
tion and sound policy." A general discussion will
now take place eliciting new light, and settling
important principles; aud a new Congress, elect
ed iu the midst of such discussion, and furnishing
au equal representation of the peuplo according
to tite last cen.-tts, will hear to the Uapitui me ver
diet of public opinion, and, I doubt not, bring
this important question to it satisfui tory result.
Under such circumstances, the hank comes for
ward and asks for a renewal oi its charter for a
term of fifteen years, upou conditions which not
outy operate as a gratuity to the slot khuhiers ol
many millions of dollars, hut saucltuu abuses auu
legalize any euernachmeuts.
Suspicions are entertained mid charges are
made of gross abuses and violation of its charter.
Au iuvestig uion unwillingly conceded, aud so re
stricted in time, us necessarily to make it incom
plete and unsatisfactory, discloses enough to cx-
cito suspicion aud alarm. In the practices of the
priucipnl bank-partially unveiled, iu tho ahseuce
of imnoruut witnesses, aud iu numerous charges
confidently made, aud as yet wholly uuuivesliga-
ted, there was .enough to induce a majority of tnc
coininitteo of investigation, n committee which
was selected from tbe mo-t aide ann honorable
members of tho House of Representatives, to re
commend a suspension of furl her action upon the
hill, aud n prosecution of tho inquiry. As tbe
chnrtor had yot four years to rttu, and'n* a renew
al now wns uot necessary to tho suecesslul prose
cution of it* business, it w as to It tve been expect
ed that the bank itself, concious of its purity, »ud
proud of Its character, would have.withdrawn us
application for tho present, aud demanded the se
verest scrutiny into all its transactions. Iu their
declmiug to do so, there seems to ha au ndtluioual
reason why the functionaries of tho Government
should proceed with loss haste, and inure caution,
in tho renewal of their monopoly.
The bank is professedly established as an ngent
of tho Executive branches of the governuieut,
and its uuconstitutiouality is m liutaiued on that
ground. Neither upou the propriety of present
action, nor upon tho provisions of this act, was
tho Executive consulted. It has bad uo oppor
tunity to say that it neither needs nor wauls an
ngent clothed witli such powers, nud favored hy
such exemptions. Tbcro is nothing in its legiti
mate functions which make it necessary or pro
per. Whatever interest or tullttcnco, whether
public or private, has given birth to this act, it
cannot ho found either tu the wishes or necessi
ties of tho Executive Department, by which pre
sent action is deemed premature, and the pow
ers conferred upon its agent not only uuuecossa-
ry. but dangerous to the government aud coun
try.
It it to ba regretted that tho rich, aud power
ful too, often baud the act* of government to their
■elfish purposes. Distinctions in society will
nlways exist uuder overy ju*t government. E-
quaiity of taloms, of education, or of wealth, can-
uot ha produced by human.institutions, Iu the
full enjoyment of tho gifts of Heuvcu and the
fruit* of superior industry, economy and virtue,
every man is equally cutitled to protection by
l«ty. Bat when .the 'ar. undertake to add to
theso uatural and just advantages, artificial dis
tinctions, to graut titles, gratuities, and exclusive
privileges, to make tho rich richer, nud tho potent
more powerful, the humble members of society,
tho farmers, mechanics, and laborers, who have
neither the tinio nor the means of securing like
favors to themselves, have a right to compldiu
of the injustice of their government. There are
no necessary evils in government, its evils ex
ist only in its ahum*. If it would confine it*eil
to equal protection, att l, as Heaven does it* rains,
shower its fa Tor* alike on the high and tho low,
ity? rich and the poor, it would lie nn unqualified
blessing. In the act before me, there seems to
he a wide nml unnecessary departure from these
just principles.
Nor is our government to be maintained, or
our Union preserved, hy invasions of tho rights
and powers of the several .States. In thus at
tempting to make our general government strong,
we ra ike it weak. Its true strength consists iu
leaving individuals and states, as rnurh as posit-
Lie, to the Lose! vet', ia making-itrelf fell, uot ia its
had formed during tite night; and the 'bitter blast’

‘•The Southern Planter."—Our readers w ill ob

p iper to be devoted mainly to the imere ti ot
AGRICULTURE. Though there are already,
perhaps, newspapers enough in this State, mu!
too inauy in this place, yet one of the character
proposed, is still needed. There is no journal ex
clusively Agricultural in the State, ami but ouc
in the South.
It is* time something was done for tite interest
of tho Planter. Congress lias refused to repeal
or modify to any extent, tbe odious Tariff—our
staple is reduced to its lowest ebb—our Com
mei'ce is dried up—our Land is worn out—Agri
culture barely affords subsistence lo those who
follow it for a livelihood—the people are iu debt
—and ruin and misery stare us iu the face. In
this state of things, w hen our products are taxed
for the benefit ot Northern manufacturers, aud ;;o
verninent refuses us justice nud the aid required,
the ittople must took In thenuelvts far nli f. They
must consult their own safety, aud watch their
own interests. Let Agricultural Societies lie
formed—let Agricultural Schools be established
—nud Agricultural Newspapers be circulated.
Tite best means of farming should be studied; nud
the he»t system of Agriculture, aud the most eco
nomical manner of living be adopted. By this
means only cau our l>unb> us be lightened; hy this
means only eau tho efforts of over taxation be
