FROM THE CONSTITUTIONALIST,
The great benefits which tlie establishment
of the Bank of the United Siates lias produced
.cannot be easily denied, because it went into
operation at a time wheu almost all the state
banks,had stopped specie payment*,: wheu
thb notes of those state banks were at - a con
siderable discount, und when tiro credit Of the
institutions tliemscivca was ■ much impaired.
The Bank, of tlie United Stntee-muteriaUy
contributed in restoring a safer currency, titan
the one then existing, and in compelling tile,
state banks to resume specie nay meats. These
arc-all facts knbwnto every body. But if the
Bank of the United States had not been estab
lished,.would not the same results have been
produced, by the prudence - and exertions of
tho stato bunks, wliieli would liave feltit to be
their interest to repair their credit, .by'resu
ming specie payments, and:to establish that
euitona mqro solid foundation thtin it was
before ? Bui il has been repeatedly alledged,
tliat if the bank bf lijo Upitcd States had nut
been.established,- the state banks would riot
have’been checked in. the issues of their notes
and in’ -their discounts, rind, consoiptemly,
would have inbrensed tlie embarrassments in
which ovor issues liad placed riptin.- This is
-wo conceive, arguing oil ctToneous premises.
Belofq wp admit such argaments;. it roast be
t arn to us, most conclusively, that the dire#
of! the stato banks do not understand the
interest of thelnstitutions under theirxontrol ;
tliat' titoy do not undprstami' the .cficcto of
babking operations ; and that .tho directors of
the Bank of the United States would always
bo farasupofior'in, knowledge' of banking op
erations', tu die directors of the state bonks; -If
the directors of llie state banks understand
their business, rind areguided in their b.anking
operations by the interest of their institutions,
rio danger, can be apprehended of misman
agement,..- And if the state banks, aro man
aged insuch manner as to be profitable to stpek-
the principal object ql^their iustiiition; and
if they are^'■ profitable Jo stockholders, -thpir
bills will be in good credit, and will form a
safe circulating medium. But; it may be an
swered, this safo circulating medium will be
confined to each state of tho Union, because
tlie'bills of the banks of one stato will-not
have that credit and circulation in -another
state,-which the Bank of tho United States hos
effected; through its. branches, in all tho states.
This is yeiy true.; Bat of what uso lias been
to the people of the United States, taken in
nines, the general currency of the bills of the
■bank of .the United States ? Have we been
able, since tho establishment r of this bank, t*
transmipfunds from rinoscction of the country
to'another, without paying a premium? Have
we. been able .even to obtain nnd transmit the
bills of the Bank, Without paying a premium
for them? Ifthe establishment of this Bunk
had od'ected one of the main'objects of its iti:
stitution, the citizen would have been able to
obtain tho biUs.-at par, and to.transmit them
where he -pleased, without payirig a premium
for them.' So, it is very clear, that this Bank
has failed iii'this instance, to accomplish one
ofthq main objects of its institution. To this
position, which' vie Iiavo assumed with' due
rcffection, it may bo,replied, thut if there was
no Bank of the United States,.the hills of the
state banks would not be enrreut beyond the
Unfits'.of,the states whence they are issued,
arid.tliat those biUs would always be nt a dis
count. . This is granted, But we may an
swer, .wliat is it to us, to pay a premium, or to
,lose,a discount; if, after all, the same amount
we have to transmit, is received by the per-
son to whom we are indebted ? We cannot
take .the presPnt pate of exchange for rin ex
ample, becanse-it has been the policy of.the
Bank-or dto -Utrited States, to keep down the
circulation .of the notes of the local bonks, and
the extension of tb.at circnlation beyond the
states whence tlio notes ore issued. The lo
cal banks, finding that their notes had no cir
culation except in riicir own states respective
ly,’'did not think proper, to adopt means By
which those notes canid have credit and cir-
dul&riori elsewhere. Hence we find that tho
notcs'pf tjio lpc'al batiks aro at a greater dis
count,. titan the premium generally paid for
notes 'of die Bank of the United Stutca. ■ If
thprehad been no Batik of the United States,
no one cart doubt that -the local banks; espe
cially those of Boston, Now York, Pliiiauol-
phia-nnd Baltimore, would have adopted plans
by which their notes would have been in as
good credit iu the south ns the notes'of the
Batik of die United States; arid even at tlio
present time,. Jnrgo notes of thoso northern
banks would bring a small premium. If there
had been po Bank of the United States, the
sou'dicrri bonks would have established agen
cies in the principal cities of the northjforthe
redemption of their notes; wliieli had-found
their way to thoso places. By such means,'
tho'discount; which is now paid on tlie-notes
ofthei banks, of Georgia,-in tho northera cities,
would havo beon greatly diminished, if a par
value had not been established. -The prom-
ise was; when the Bank of tlio-United States
Wa's incorporated, that we should'have a cir
culating" medium,• current' overy where;' in
good credit, and perfectly safe; ' IVe-grant that
Ute circulating medium established, by this
Bank, lias been in good credit, and perfectly-
snfe. But wtis firis enough ? j Can it be
culled n convenient circuluting inedium, that
for which Wo have to pay a premium ?• The
mrimentth.atjvehaveto'ppy lotlt.’opdfor its
use, it becomes an orticioof merchandize, and
subject to all tiiofiactnution pertaining to ar
ticles of common trade npd 'barter. If Oho
Bnnk Of tlto United Stntcs has not been able
’we were to admit die principle mul the uc-
*ssitv, we «nve u|»at once tlie ninnngcinent of
all our financial operations, and place itin the
hands ofthe directors oftlm Bank of tlie Uni
ted States, because by the power of checking,
wliieli would lie exercised, a controlling influ
ence would be established over all the financial
operations of a State; nnd having this controll
ing influence over the financial operations of
a state, a power would indirectly he exercised
over all the other operations of the Slate gov
ernment. That, atone rime, the local banks
have acted very imprudently in tlieir hnsmess
must be admitted, und that the bank of tne t>
nited Stale* materially contributed in re-
straining those local banks in tlieir operations,
mast also bo admitted. But since that

■ Tho opjnion prevails with many of qrir'cit
izens, that the Bank, of tho Unilod States is
necessaiy to keep in -check the local institu
tions, and. prevent them from extoriding too
far tlieir business. If such a principle stands
gofid in regard to state baftkq, that they require
a tnpreme inspector of their operations, it
most stand equally good for. many other op
eration* of the States, financial, and legisla
tive, ns well as executive. Sucli'n principle,
we conceive, to .be disgraceful to the States,
and- especially to their legislatures. To
maintain that the batiks chartered by a state
require a supervisor of tlieir operations, is to
maintain llmt the people of that stato cannot
manage their atTairs with- prudence arid with
JC view tivbeneficial results.' It is m maintain
tit atn f«yr men residing in Philadelphia, know
belter than, the .whole people ofa state,'how to
manage- the financial operations of that Suite.
must also he admitted! But since that time,
lmve we not acquired experience I Have not
the legislatures of the Slates taken proper
measures to keep tlie local banks wttlnn prop
er bounds J And ns much ns tltcy wpre able
to provide, do tliey not prevent them from ex-
tqntfiiig too farjlteir discounts nndtheirlssues;
rind compel them to manage tlieir aflairs so ns
to lie prepared to redeem their notes m specie?
"It is true tite local banks have failed, and. that
tho eommutiityliave sullcred by socii failures..
But it is impossible alwnys to provide against
dishonesty,' arid'establish rcstrninst agmnst uri
inordinate. propensity fur tlie accumulation or
wealth, b'v nny-trentis whatever. But con
sidering iltc. number of banks now tn .op-,
cration in nil the States,.it is to us a wonder
that so few failures have taken plHce, though
banking operations are now better understood,

If tlie local banks do riot require now to havt)
a supervisor over tlieir operations, is it pru
rient for the States to admit llmt the Bank of.
the United States hns tliat power, when it is
not at all nccossary thaHt should he exercised?
If a check be not nccessafy, 'votriri it not be
thainterest ofthe local banks, should there be
no Bank ofthe United States, to give as much
credit and circulation to their notes, as'pnt-
riehce ami skilful banking operations would
dictate?- By a mutual understauding, and
reciprocal security, the state banks could, be
tween themselves, establish such a circulating '
medium for tho whole country, as .would be'
safe and convenient, at least as much so as
the circulating medium established by the.
Bank of tho United States. They, could so.
manage it as wo should have no more to pay
than we have now to do, for bills of the Bank
of rite United States, or for drafts, or which is
tho same thing, that we should not have to
lose more ori the bills we wish to remit, than
the premium we have now to pay. for. tbabills
of tho Bank of the United States,

Extract of a Letter dated, Washington, Feh. 15,
The committee of the artisans from the city
of New-York, waited on the President yester
day. The interview was truly graphic. When
they entered, titoy .were asked to take seats ;
tho President continued signing papers; and
when he wns done, ho turned his hack towards,
the committee, and Commenced opening let
ters xvi(h a pair of scissors, without noticinr
his visitors. After he had opened one, and
was proceeding to a' second, the cliuirinitn in
terrupted him, observing that they had come
on business, and; proceeding to make known
their snfierings, the..Old Roman interrupted
them by saying—“Go to Nick Biddle, and tel!
him to relieve you.” Tlie committee told
him they.had seen Mr. Biddle; and lie said
that he was quietly and steadily pursuing tit*
advico giveri-him by Gen. Jackson—namely,,
preparing “ to wind up the bank by rite rimer
its charter- shall , have expired." “ What!"
said the President, in a ten-iblu mtuiofi “ did—
I tell him to-draw thirty millions from the
valley of the Mississippi, in the course of R tori’
months ?" He then, in the most violent man
ner, declared, "Til do nothing—I'll do noth
ing—so help me God, I’ll do nothing. Am l
tone pestered with committee after committee,
daily?”'said he: “there is one, two, three,,
four, five,'eight, ten, (counting his fingers
with great vehemence) committees, that have
been here-on the same errand. And what
would you ’ have me to do for you ?” The
chairman began to remonstrate shout remov
ing the deposites, and asked their restoration,.
He said he wanted to argue the matter with
the Old Roman, and said that the President
had violated rite laws which chartered rite
bank, Sec. Whnt!” said tho Hero; / vio
late tho law—J violate tlie law !” He refus
ed to hear any further argument from :he ar
tisans of New-York, and they returned as
they came.' He treated them pretty much as
ho aid tlie Irish committee who waited on him
somo years ago, to contribute a trifle to aid
the foreigners oil tlie canal, who had been vi
sited by an afilicring dispensation of Provi
dence. He refused to give n single cent to
relievo them; and treated tlio comnuftce in the
most rudo and nngentlemnnly manner. The
Ncw-York artisans did not share much bet

self the advocate of a metallic curreucy. Mr!
Taltnadgo followed, and saidtbat his colleague

anxious to accomplish the same onJ; and ;
much ris I am opposed to Itis administration, t t
would willingly aid tho project to u limited
extent. It cannot be effected immediately.— i
But much may, and probably will be dope .
daring tliis session. A law enu be carried .
through, laying a duty or from five to ten per i
cent on all bank notes under ten dollon. - t
am credibly informed that such a law has
been concocted and reduced to form. That it
proposes, from and after tho 4 th day of July a
duty office per cent per annum, on all notes
or a less denomination tltau ten dollars. That**
from and after tlto 4th dny of July afore
said, it shall bo penal for any bank to issno
such notes, withont having previously paid
tbo duty. Aud that it contains various severe
regulations against any bank evuding rite re
demption of notes already in circulation under
ten dollars. Tho whole bill is said to bo
drawn with great caution.- Many members
in both houses havo expressed their willing
ness to vote for such a law. Tlto President ,
wishes to go farther.- Mr. Rives is for limv- B
nag the denomination to ticenty dollars. But i
ft is probable thut ten dollars will be adopted. ,
