INFIDELITY.
Whatever sp< cions arguments infidels firing
forward iti support cf their doctiinep, tin r is
ou<> thing which seems very ptomine.-.t tn their
character; I mean pride. They oppose their
own reason to the facts of ages, the fulfilment
of prophecy, the evidence ol miracles, a >d the
good sense of the wisest a**d best mea who
have ever liv< d.
The sufficiency of human renso- ,” says
Young, ‘ is the golden calf which these men
set up to be wotshipped ; and, i:i the Ir nzi> s
of their extrnvagauct devotion to it, they
trample on venerable authority, strike nt an
oak with an osier, the d >ctrine of God’s own
planting, and the grow th of ages, with the sud
den and ibrtuitioiis shoots imagination, aba'
live births, of an hour. Th:> human improve
ments on divine relation, may be compared tn
the prolH'.iug of the Holy Bible with the fig
ure of heathen idols undue Antiochus Epi
phancs ; or rather, to ihe proud Roman Em
peror. who took the head from Jupiter’s sta
tute, and placed his own in its stead.”
The elegant Saurin strikingly desmibes the
folly and madness cfstich men: “ hat sur
prises me, what stumbles me, what frightens
me, is to see a diminutive creature, a contemp.
tible man, a little ray ofglimmeriiig tbiougli a
few feeble organs, controvert a point villi the
Supreme Being, oppose that intelliget.ee who
sitteth at the helm of the world; question wh .(
he affirms, dispute what he determi es, appeal
from Ins decision, and even after God hath
given evidence, reject all doctr: es that are
beyond capacity. Enter into thy nothingness,
mortal creature ! What midness animates
thee? how darest thou pretend, th u who art
but a point, thou whose essence is but an
atom, to measure thyself wim the Supreme
Being, with him whom the heaven ol heavens
cannot contain
Sian of infidel principles are gometimesns
ignorant as they are impertinent. O.ie of this
sort was making himself merry n n lure
company at the expense of the Scriptures, and
told hia companions that he could prove tin
prophet of the Christians (as he called Christ'
mistaken, even upon the most common sub
Jccts. Alter awakening the curiosity of th
Company, he thus gratified it. ‘•Christ says
that old bottles tire not strong as new (alludi; g
to Matt. ix. 17 ;) and therefore if new win,
is put into old bottles, it will break them.
Now don’t every body know that old glass i>
just as strong as new ; fi r who ever heard
that glass Was tne weaker for being old ? ’ A
clergyman in company, who had been the but
of his wit, gently reproved the ignorance am
folly of this willing, by asking him if he under
stood Greek. “Greek, Sir! no, Sir; bin
w hat has Greek to do with it ? a b >ttle is
bottle, whether it be itt Greek or E glish : ev
cry body knows that an old bottle is just ar
gued and as a new one.” “Not quite, Sir,”
replied the other: “if they are made of leatli
er or skins, as the fact was as to the bottles
Christ speaks of,as the Greek name impmts;
and indeed it is so in many countries even to
this day, that people use ski..B by "ay of ves
sels to contain wine.” Ou which side the
laughter of the company*, turned is not very
difficult to conceive. We may l'...rc learn
that the knowledge of the original languages
in w.tich the scriptures are written is of no
small utility to a c,'“istiati minister.
Infidelity is not only shuCKiug as to i. 2 na
ture, but every way injurious as to its tetiu'of’
cy. The following mslin.ee is a confirmation
of it. A servant who waited at the table of
Mr. Mallet, often hearing this subject brought
forwa rd, at last became as great an adept m
these principles as his master; and being
thouroughlv convinced, that for any of his mis
deeds he should have no after account to make,
was resolved to profit by the doctrine, & made
oit with many things of value, particularly the
plate. Luckily, he was so closely pursued,
that he was brought back with his prey to his
master’s house, who examined him before
some select friends. At first the man was
sullen, and would answer no questions ; but
being urged to give a reason for his infamous
behaviour, he resolutely said, “ I heard you so
often talk ot the impossibility of a future state,
and that Sifter death there was no reward for
virtue, nor punishment for vice, that I was
tempted to commit the robbery.” “ Well but
you rascal,” replied Mallet, “ had you no fear
ol the gallows?” “Sir,” said the fellow,
looking sternly at bis master “what is that to
you? Isl had u mind to venture that, you had
removed my greatest terror : why should I
fear the least ?”

Mr. Preston's Letter to the Chairman of the
Committee of Arrangement of the Dinner
given to Mr. Elmore, in Columbia, S. C.
Columbia, Sept. 3d ISSB.
To Col. R. H. Goodwyn, Chairmatl cf Com.
Dear Sir :—I have had the honor of receiv.
tug your letter of the 16th ult, in which, as
Chairman of a committee of arrangements,
vou inform me that “ the Republican and State
Rights citizens of Richland district, in fiver of
he separation of government from banks, and
he estublishmc.il of an I dependent Treasury,
md opposed to the establishment of a Nation
.l Bai k, and the advanceme t of the Federal
>arty to power—being anxious to be further
idightened by a discussion of those principles,
propose giving a barbecue dinner at this place,
>n the Bth of next month, in honor of our
two Senators and immediate Representative
hi Congress, when we may have the the bene
tit of hearing them on those important ai d
imitating subjects.
The committee, therefore, on behalf of the
Republican State Rights citizens of the dis
trier, respectfully invite your attendance on
that day.”
1 beg you, sir, to believe, that I am very
sensible of the honor in which I am thus uni
ted with my colleague m the Senate and our
immediate Representative ; and I appreciate
the more highly this honorable testimonial,
m as much as it is apparent from the definition
which you give ot the principles of what you
designate as the Republican and State Rights
party, that there is a political difference on
some important points between me and those
1 whom vou tepreseut, as I know there is be
tween me .‘ hose w,,h whom J"’’ havt;
done me the honoi to update (Ue. 'I hose
who offer the testimonial, and i.-'”*- lo "horn
it is offered—except myself—are of ti',C s ' il '
pity. That 1 am thus renumbered and thus
associated is a source of the highest gratificu
lion lo me, for i regard it as another signal
proof from my fellow ciliz ns of Richland
district, of lhe personal kindness I have al
way’ receive I at their hands—and of their
generous disposition, notwithstanding a differ
ence of political opinion, to bear this public
testimony to the purity ot my motives—and
thereby to rebuke the false and malignant as
persious to those who do not k low me as well
as my neighbors, and are not capable of the
same just and candid judgment.
I repeat it, sir, that 1 receive wi h pride and
pleasure, the proof of kindness implied in your
thus associating me with those to whom your
political sympathies and approbation are giv
en—and in joining with you and them in a
common festival, i should rejoice in an occa
sion ot showing that, like those you represent,
I am incapable of making political d if. lences
cause of personal alienation or that I could
lor a mement consider my principles compro
mised, by accepting your civility. In decli
ning, therefore, to attend your Baib cue, I
am influenced by very ilifl’eieni considerations.
1 Lave already been present at such a meet
i g, very numerously attended by gentlemen
of all parties m this district, when i hid the
honor ol submitting my views with pellet un
reserve; and now understanding that our im
mediate Representative is the only member
to Congress !ik> ly to be present, lam inc i.
nevi to allow him the same unchecked com
municaiiou with his constituents ; and 1 nm
be permitted to s.iy that 1 acquiesce in this
Course the more readily-in order that 1 max
not seem to be drawn into a Canvass in this
district, which would be inconsistent with my
position, and add to an excitement which t
would in-ich rather allay.
As. however, you have intimated that mv
fellow citizens desire to have my views. 1
will briefly set down such as are suggested by
the opinions which you attribute to the “Re
publican State Rights citizens” whom— v-“
lepr»-»ent.
With maiiv <>t them 1 am happy to say I
coincide, and wdl, before 1 conclude, point
out this coincidence, but I lake up at first the
less pleasing tusk of stating the points on
which we differ.
Ii lhe first place, then you sav that “lhe
Republican State Rights party” is in favor of'
an Independent Treasury ; in this it is utterly
out of my power to concur with them.—l am
opposed to an Independent and tn favor of a
Dv.pendent I reasury ; dependent for its organi
zation and control upon the law of the laud ;
dependent for its conduct and administration
upon agents as much removed as possible from
executive control ; dependent upon all thecir
cumstauces upon which she general prosperity
of tho country depends—dependent tor its
health and vigor upon the health and vigor ot
the community—-operated upon, influenced
and controlled by all the great causes which
afl'.-ct the accumulation and distribution of
public wealth—dependent upon lhe state of
the country, and indicating its condition with
as delicate a sensitiveness as tho Thermome
ter does the state, of the atmosphere; depend
ent upon all the great interests of Commerce
and Agriculture : in a word, I would have the

public, t,;: d 3 with llm.m of the b e ks, ther. by
authorizing the use <;[ them, ns s > much b.n k
capital. The first < bjcct, viz: the yr-.-ve.'-tiou
of Executive patrotiag-i, may be effi e'ed by a
'aw defining what I auks shall be used, eit”h. r
by express designation, or by a general descrip
tion ; as for example, all such banks -..s arc
"sod by the Slates in tin ir fiscal operatic s, or
are guarantied by 7 the pledge of Stale faith :
and the second object, viz ; the Seper;;ti'., :; ..f
the funds of the G-.vcrmme t, nr ;he o bj. cted
by express S’rpulatio:::-, m-. faithful perfor
of w ,ucn may bo secured by a r- quisi
‘ttmi of monthly official statements of the con
ditio.i a id business of the se.ected banks and
by the imposition *.f proper pemi ties.
Banki g institutions, by universal consent,
are the cheapest, safest, and most convenient
agencies for the custody and transfer of the
public money. Every man who h s money
dealings, practically t-siablishes this, by h;s
own conduct, in regard to his own affairs. —
i'o effect these obj. cts, is one of the ptupo
scs of their creation ; and they uro, therefore,
organized to accomplish them by the moist
skillful adaptation of means. Large resources
give th<-;m a more extended credit than i:i geu-
. eral belongs to individuals, and at oi.ee makes
them more efficient agents in the translation ot
exchanges, and more responsible for the fulfil
ment of their engagements. That this is emi
nently true, is constructed c.ut of them, is no
more conclusive against them, than the break
mg of an engine is against the use of wood
andiron. But, sir, w fide I should adopt, as
a matter of expediency and convenience, th<
use of bank agency, selected on some general
principle, so as to exclude Executive patron
age, i:i preference to that of officers holding
their office at the P.osid.nt’s will, and (as our
own daily experience shows us) down to a
village postmaster, d; voting themselves to elec
tioneering for the dispenser of th ir bread, Ido
not regard the question as to what sort of agon
cy shall be used to keep and transfer tin public
funds, of sufficient magnitude to produce any
very intense interest, or at all comparttblt! L
its consequences to the proposition that the
Government shall exact in ?11 its dues, gold and
silver, to lhe exclusion of the notes of specie
paying banks.
I cannot conceive of anything more prepos
terous and revolting, than that the Government
should nave one currency and the People an
other. Until tne present period of intrepid
speculation, such a notion has never beet
avowed, much less been acted upon, in th.
wh de history of the world. No Government,
barbarous or civilized, has ever pretended t
separate its currency from tha. of its citizens
su.'?'’' c,s ‘ Such a project would have been
considerej equ Preposterous and s’a-ger
ous, even in those l!«.es G! >vermne..t was
legarded as something sen'’ exi ’’ 1 'dr-pen-
dent of the People, belonging to a . '• a “ G
privileged race, and having rights and t d“"-
ests in opposition to tuose of the community
at large. What, then, should be thought of
it when Government is understood to be but an
emanation from the People, and the governors
but their servants?
It is admitted on all hands, that there cannot
be in this country an exclusive specie circu
latiou. Paper credit is our currency and its
destruction is not the avowed purpose of even
the most infuriated partisans of the new theo
ries of finance. 1 heir declared object is to
leave all the vast moneyed transactions of soci
ety to be conducted by’ paper, w hile the Fed -
rul government is to protect itself by the use
of a peculiar medium, t i which the citizens do
not participate. Does lhe government w ith
draw itself from the currency of lhe country
because it is not good enough for it? Is tin-
Government belter than lhe People? Are it
interest and success more to b.- consulted tha
theirs? Is the Guverument to have one i.Mer
est and the People another ? shown bv the last
forty years’ experience of the Gov'ernmei I,
during which tunc banks, in some form or
other, have been its fiscal i ger.ts, Mr. Wovd
bury himself declaring that the treasury has
lost less by them in this long series of transac
lions, than by the defalcation of one single in
dividual, and now that lhe banks have resumed
specie payments, and h-.ive thus silenced thi
unmeaning clamors of political partisans, it is
ascertained that the Governme t has lost very
itlle by its connexion w ith those iaslitutions.
The temporary suspension of specie payments
having ceased, and the fortimate defeat of th.
“ Independent Treasury” having restored cred,
it, and renewed the general pit speritv, these
institutions are again performing their regular
urovitur, by a more early a d
-wTcuMVe recoveiy tiimTnaT ffiost sa.. gU me l, iU |
calculated on, how w orthy they are of public
confidence.
It is said that the plan of using State baid---
as the agents ot Government fnisnntcd, and
that it is madness to try it again. I f this be
true to the utmost extent the State Bank Sys
tem has, in common with every thing else,
failed in the hands of the present Administra
tion. Every experiment, conducted bv such
men, is doomed to inevitable failure, li the
use of the State banks turned out to be injuri
ous. w hat was the reault of the Sub-Treasury
sy stem which succeeded it ? Ever increasino
embarrassments and difficulties, till Congress
decided that it should not bo continued.
The hard money system was tried in regard
to the public lands. Did it >uvceed ? Was
it approved ? But how, and to what extent,
has the use of Slate banks failed ? Has the
Goverome!. 1 ! or the People lost tiny thing bv the
suspension of specie payments? On the con.
trary, that measure "as w ise and salutary,
demanded by public opinion at she lime and
vindicated by the result. Any failure that has
taken place, has been lhe effect rather of mal.
adminisiratioa, than of the nature of ih.- rnstru.
me ts used. In case of disaster, it is natural
enough for lhe engineer to attribute the cxplo.

position to comm.-rce is engendered. Now
unless commerce be so-.sidered an evil, and to
ciump and cripple it be a wise policy, this re
suit is to be deprecated. 1 am aware that
many who regard the late t nibarressmeefs as
i th" result <;f overtrading, are not unwilling that
a gyst.-m of finance sh.-l! bo adopted that will

Another obvious consequence which will

wi'i be the, disturbing influence upon the value

does not enter into the circula ibii with paper,

Th. s.: checks mid difficulties i:i lhe wav of

Sta’es. With us, it is cotmarativi ly feeble;
we have just how ti keri it in hand to secure to
ourselves a jus? parlir ipi'tion tn this important
br-ineh of nati-mnl industry; nrd the spirit to
imdertaki- it, and the means to accomplish it,
h ve both resulted from the removal of the
c< mni'-rcial embarrassments by the reduction
of the Ta riff. The embarrassments are op
pn-ssive .in proportion to the weakness of the
commerce on which they operate, ’fhe fixed
capital, the- establish'd habitudes, the existing

Il has been objected that under the constitu
tion the government has not the power to re
ceiv.? Bank bills to payment of its dues, or any
thing but gold and silver. 3 his notion has not
gatin-dmmh ground; for tl ose who suggest
it, at tho same time contend that the goyeHtmefit
has not only the right to rec ive paper money,
but to create if. i!r. McDuffie, in his very
i mphatiert jection of this novel hypothesis, as
serts that lhe government might receive its
dues tn brickbats ; and surely it would be dif
ficult to conceive that the receiving oftliis ai
■'cle would confer upon it the qualities of
mo-i \ endow the government

If the policy of exacting specie bo just or, •
any of the arguments used to maintain it bo
true, in regard to the general government, they
arc equally applicable to th? State governments
and the experiment can be most, safely tried,
upon them. Let. the divorce, then, of Batik
and State, begin in the States, where the sue
cess and phenomena of the experiment upo i
the wealth and property of lhe country can be
miimtdy watched.
I will not trouble you, sir, with any observa
tions on a proposition to create fed -rai govern
me- t paper, as a p rmam-nt medium for the
government or the people. Such a project
w ill hardly gain favor as long as the continen
tal p» i> r is rem mb: red ; mid having been
tried by- every mo lorn gover ni nt, in every
vari Ivof form, with always the same result
of a most mischievous depr< edition, we must
bo totally regardless of the I ssoiis of expi r
ioneo, if we adopt it. Tlu-re is no exception
in the history of a thoUSn id attempts to make
government paper a circu! ting m-dium, to its
total a. d runious failure. The reason is obvi-
OUS ; men will not take in ; xoh t' g ’ for their
property, any thing but. property, or w’hat re
presents it.—Gover nt -nt paper i- ueith: r the
one nr lhe olhor; ;t repteserits the will of the

Hence its destiny has been uniform.

safer, though a less brilliant course, to adhere
to experience, and to take it for granted in

happened always, will happen agim.
It gives me pleasure, Sir, to turn from topics
on which I appreh ?d there is 1 considi ruble
difference of opinion between us, to others, on
which, if we do not tuffy concur there is at
least less discrepancy.
You -say that tho gentlemen whom you re
present aie onposod to the estahlisment of :>
N ittonal B ink, 1 concur with them, Sir. I
b' liete such an institution, tinder present cir
cumstances, im'xpediet.t and impracticable ;
mu' do 1 balii've its establishment will ever b?
otherwise, unless tho destructive principles of
the ruling party continue so to hnrrass the
country that it will b- driven to escape from
anarchy lit the risk of despotism. In 1816,
1 icxorable necessnifv forced tho Government
upon the exercise of this very doubtful p->w<-r
—a nece s-i’v stiperi ,dar' i! by tlm ev-nts o r

cr -atod but by the !' iiy or wickedness of a
blind, infuriated party, which, f r lb:: sins of
th'? con-.try at pr - t. controls its policy.
There isn't .of the .'i'j:;t!-;rne:i whom you

arrest this disastrous car er, and avert the ne
ccusity which may drive th j country upon a

I.’, on the contrary, they [o insist up
on their ex:iger:-.t:.-d theories.nnd are not rebu
kori by the moderation and practical good sense
of the people, n National Ba I; will be the in
evitable consequences. Towards this instill:-
tioii the public mii.d is obviously impelled, by
the efforts of those who would persuade us
that the destiny of this great people ivd of
their free institutions is reduced to the alterna
tive of a Nntio nil B-iffc Qf <*n exclusive ex
action of gold mid silver. By this mode ot
stating the argarncn:, al! middle ground is ex
cluded. They pr‘.‘?":.t Scyl’ ion the cne band
and Charybjis on the other, and denying any
passage between ‘fim, l-.;;ve LM widen of the
v.vo to c. lV .jsl-. jt is a common enough oc
currence heated disputations, for dexterous
dialectiii.i: s to drive each other upon extreme
; yr .u.,.1, and to close the controversy by Icnv
! mg to c:n;h other the s; !i:c!:o;i of a greater or
;km evil. Thus oao party proposes to fright
I o.i us into a hard m > .cy exaction by the ter
! ro:.i of a Bank, and th-.: other to coerce us in
j t > i B ink, by th • horrors of a spi cie exaction.
i For the Ust ten years it has been the stale
! trick ol the Admimstration to attain each suc-
I cessive step in its climax of folly and wick
j edness, by presenting the ever ready alternt .
: five of Nalioiml Bank. Il has been the
j scourge with which public opinion bus been
lashed on from one disastrous measure to an
other, a d now ngi’init is wielded io diiv-’ us
into the sub trusury. I do not in the slight
est degree doubt if this alternative is persisted
in and forced upon the country, it will prefer
I n National Bai k. by an immense majority.
I In truth. Sir, such an alternative is altogether
| imaginary. Does any one believe that a
| Bank can ba established during the present
I administration, unless the calamities of the
| country r roeure two thirds of Congress for it.
I Does any one. believe ibat two thirds of Con
I gross can be obtained ii; favor of a measure
. to which the present extended and prosperous
banking system is opposed ?
The present C’ongr. x-s has by a most decid
ed vote r.-j-.-cted both branches of this illusory
ilteraative. It has expressed its disapproba
tion ofa National Bank, and has most, emphati
cally rejected the specie exacting Sub Treas
wry. indeed, this l ist m-’asure has received
its doom decided away—it was rejected in
the Senate by a majority of nine, and in the
House by a majority of fourteen. In Con
gress, between the extra and regular session,
it lost to the Senate from a rmijm ity in its favor
to a mi'j irity of t.ii.-o against it; at d in the
House, from a majority of seven in favor ofa
postp'itiemeu?, to a maj >rity of fourteen for to
tal r- jjett-m. Tiie fate of th? Sub Treasury
without the specie exaction, was very differ
ent it. passed the Senate, and failed in the
House by a maj.irity of but. [our. Thus it is
appare; t that a Sub Treasury with the receipt
of the bilks of sp -cie pay : ng batiks, is a more
favored measure th in cither of 111 >se w hich
have been so ostentatiously insisted upon as
our only alternatives. It is a know’n fact that
th- hard money clause and its advocates de
/ stroyed the Independent Treasury, which, but
for tli.it fi.-alure i-nd its friends, would have
been the law of lhe land ; so that they are
rcsootisible for the failure of a Sub 'i’reasurv
system.
Whether we consider th? course of tho spe
cie exacting clans - in Congress, or its recep
tion by th .- people ot' the United States, as far
as they have passed judgement, it is dead. Ot'
the Southern States Maryland. Vtrgi ia, North
Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana, have
held elections since it was proposed, and at
. which it. was the principal question, They
; have pronounced against it. It has destroyed
the A-lniia.'stration io several States, and wea
kened it in ait, except. I fear, in our own.
But for the conviclto?! upon the public mind
that this measure was entirely out ol the
question, lhe Banks would not have renewed
specie payments, nor would our country have
been blessed w it.li those omeris, of reviving
prosperity which cheer us on every side.
These are the first fruits ol triumph of the peo
ple over the Admiuiatration, and although the
pres-tit arrangement of the 'i’reasurv is not
such tis any otic fully approves, vet, defective
-is it is, a great majority of the people of the
” Stales prefer, it very properly, to the
hand ol i.',- ilurd mon ' • Sub Treasury.
