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.State Legislatures deemed it S nod police to prohibit private banking by law.— F tho prohibitory State laws wore now repealed, every citizen would now possess tho right.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 Itle, ns if the rorr.titutmn had never been adopted, became in tho' formation of th.it instrument it Was reserved without qualification.. Tin priotripTe is con'ailed tint tho States can not rightfully tax th t operation*'of tho Gui -ral G iyrru n'ut.

Had the Unite!

Tho exercise of theso powers within a State, no matter by whom or uuder what authority, whether by private oilizojis in their original right, by corporate bodice created hy tbe States, It;,- foreigners or the agent of for eign govern iitotits located within their limits, forms a legitimate object of Stale taxation.— I’lorn this, mid like source*, from the persons, property and business, that are found resi ling, lo cated. or carried on, uu.lor their jut irtiicjiou, must tita States, since the surrender of th. ir right to raho a revenue from import! and export*, dran all the moucy accessary lor tho support of their governmtuts, and tit* muiuten.ince of their im!o- pru leuce.

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 legitimate objects of government by our nnti it ai legtrl.-tl.'ii. and the adoption of Mti b principle* ns r.rc embodied in this act.

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’ tccompanicd by bnil, thunder, nnd^lightniug, dew with all the * *—»— - at tlie expense of the many, mid i — iltisi- mid gradual reform iu ffiLyiywf—sr system of political ettiuorriy. . { liaye-iiqw ,d<ine to? dm* to my cmiiitry.

In the diHiotltlW which jOTouikI im, and tho dancer?, tvkieh threaten ourWislttutioiis, there is came for neither dismay nor alarm.
