'.f n coii.i Irrel the extent of exp ulsion to which the IfanU ha I lit it gone, as under the t ircuin aiaiices, impolitic. We canjiot refrain from saving, that we consider this jKilicy, pursued as it has since her n as having put at hazard all the interests of trade thtnughout the coun try. Such a flooding of the money tnatl.d was never before known; and as in the ac tion, so is the danger of re action. There is nothing the matter with our pecuniary altiiir-, hut what originates in (he Hank; there is no prospect of auv evil before us, hut from the Hank; an I we are free to say inching lias beea the mutter, within the la-t three year., hut what has had its might with tin Hank.* What then, has lie n tin elf-el of litis mi li ty machine, which was created to regulate unit git?* stability to our eiirriiui)! Ii ha been, an 1 it threatens to lie, little less than a central power of agitation, problem:; 11. in »st violent and fatal extrene-s. We know it is sad bv many partiz in tid vo-ates of the Hank, til'll ill - only Im i:n - of the Dire .-tors, is, at I ist un hi pi it <ii Cttinstances, to make the most rnoicy they ran fir the stock-holders. This doctrine ha been avowed in enuvers.itiori and in print.— Yet we hold it toll:; as wick las it i dang' r oils. We know very well, that in till such eases it is chiefly the advancement of his own interest, which induces each individual to be come a stock-holder. hel it is always un derstood, that private interests shall he pro motes no further than is consistent with the full accomplishment of public objects, Im which n charter is gr imed. I pun li.it ground was the charter of the I . ft. Hank asked? Dill any of its advocates, while it was before the people, ever say, that, when the applicants had obtained the (barter, it would be used to fill their own pockets, te gardlcss of the public good ? In advocating t ho renewal of the charter, was any micli doc trine put forth? No, never. Tin public good was always, from beginning to end, the argument which was urged, and the only tit gtimcni. The charier "ns advocated, be cause the institution would facilitate the sis- cal operations of government, secure stability to the currency, furnish a safe and useful cir culating medium, facilitate exchange-, and in every wav secure a ipiiel and prosperity to our affairs. To the performance ol these trusts the Hank was most sacredly pledged; and the suggestion, that men would ever be placed at the head of its aifaiis who would lie base enough to violate this pledge, was treat ed with scorn. Nor was il ever iiiiimaleil, that a refusal to renew the charter, or even nit attack l»y the government should ab dw the directors from these obligations. The prosperity of our country, fit two or three years past, and its prospects for at lea a one year to come, are without a parallel in the history oflho world. Ii has l.tr i/Ulsllip ped any thing realized, even in out own pre vious strides to wealth. Notwithstanding the unprecedented importations of the las; year, yve are not in debt to any other tialion. The (pmtitily of specie which we pos-ess, is double what it was three years ago, and we ha\e lie fire us a crop which promises to lie filled u illi heaven's largest homily, \ singb ;iMi<|. will produce seventy-five million. of do'lau. In addition to the vast amount of exp its, I >r eigu capital is enusiantly flowing in upon ire, seeking for investment. It w ill be utmost impo.silile for it", with the greatest iudu-.trv of extravagance, to eoiisunu enough of for eign pro luets to involve us uneonilinialilv in debt. It our own insulations are Ilian.i ml judiciously, nothing but such a call upon ii by foreign i re.litors as would take oil ten mil lions of specie, would pto.luce any serious effect on the money market. F.xccsshe »pc« - illations in real estate nr stocks, or ally thing else, max make a few “ lame ducks. *’ Some men may find money with themselves \ try •scarce, but the condition ol the country, on a broa I scale, will not be seriously affected. Thent are only three ways of producing n •enreits ul’money. One is, such a demand tar specie In sen I nlimad, as weakens the foundation of the monetary system, and re quires the monied institutions to reduce their loans. The second is, unstendine. -in the management of those institutions: ntul the third is fright. A combination of the two last, created the distress of ISlill—l. lhitiie produced the panic. All the otlu i causes which met .at that time, might ha\e created some pressure, but could not have amounted to distress. The skill of political e. atomisls will never establish any olhet sola:ion to to u most strange and wicked piece ol political hntiibuggery. fear always enters more or less into alt money pres-mes as an aggiitva ling cause, and in proportion ns it exists pio duces pressure, even in the abseti e of all it al dilßeultv, If the iasti: mi ".re at 1....■ unsteadily managed; if they lirst put torth large issues, and when business is stimulated In a violent momentum, withdraw (•> e , sues, or if they refuse the bieilities in c. !! e rinti or transmission of exchange which tl. y have been accustomed to afford ; it, it; short, without a Ibreigit demand fu specie, they conduct as if there was one. they may easily lock up in theirowu vaults the means of trade, aud put them ns far beyond the reach of tra ders as they were scut to the furthermost cor ner of the earth. An institution like the fnited States Bank, so towering above all other institutions in the magnitude of its means, and so concentrated in the spring of its actions, lias always the power to excite the movements of Imsiut ss to a dangerous activity, or to depress them to a ruiuous inaction. It m: of tho most |>ower ful local institutions should suddenly go upon o; policy of rapid ourtailm til, other institu tion* would immediately become its debtors, mid would be liable lobe called on for specie. "Yet there at e few. if any, of the f al iti'tilu tious .m pow erful hut that all the claims they could create, might. in a time of specie plen tifulness, lie paid up, without any severe change in the urditviry eoursi of other hreii tutious.

Ii was in ibis manner, that the re sources of the ,Ni xv York tie re hauls w ere ex hausted during tin- panic w inter.

Hut those interests are only at hazard. \ wise and steady i iuuse, wlllt the blessings of I’rovidetiee upon our crops, will s”M stive us limn great MuHering. b*ni It a course there i reason to believe the local Hunks througlt niii tin- i imu l re -im ll; ,|m-i i| in puisne, main taining their loans where they now are, for at least Mime months to come. If this policy is now adopted, there will he some tension to the market, because the (low of inertuntil loans has reused. Hut there will be no dis tress. The w ants ol tlie country imperiously demand this policy, anil there is nothing in the eouiiiliou of things to prevent its adoption. It depends upon the w ill of one man, thcie- Ibre, w hether it shall or shall not he adopt ed. The qiicslinn which way that man - hull determine, is n question involving the wealth or poverty of thousands of now pros perous individuals. W e have, w ithin the past few months, re ceived so many positive assurances from those who were, to some degree at least, in llte -ecu t- if the Hank, that ii would make no lilt I her disturbance, but would goon solely with leferetiee to promoting the interests of the stock holders, that although we deemed the rapid enlargement of its discounts to the extent they were ial lied, ns highly danger mis, yet wo thought ii might he accounted for on tho principle Iniil down, and we hoped, that no gnat mischief would ensue. We wen less anxious about, the consequences of the eulatgeinenf, rind more inclined to be lies 1 the declarations which were made, be cause it was averted as the ilelrruiiualioti of the I’resideiil. not, in fact, to bring the nlliiirs of the institution to a close at all, nor to pay any pmiion of the capital stock, except that part belonging to the government. Were either wisdom or generous feeling predieahlo of the power which directs the Hank, w e should fool sure it would make no mote panic. Hut the developements of the three last tears have convinced us, and xxe In hex. most others, that any calculation ba sed tqion the supposed possession of either of these qualities, would he without inundation. \' to political management, wo believe the friends nt Mi.
