The recurrence of tiie leg®! period for th* ossein- blsgu of the Represenutives of the people, finds our country abounding tn’plenty. 1 Tho blessings which daily surround u , calf for the. response of grateful hearts to their tiehllivont Aiitlibr, |nd a proper consul oration of iKetn. should impress on us the high oblige lion we areulidar.'tn reaulataXurcondoct by His will. Tho difficulties U/hiclt bava embarrMsed the Com merce or the wortd. and pioducpd In tpany places dis tress and ruin,have been fell by our people, but not su severely ns In many State* pftlie Union. The restless spirit.of speculation which seemed to have taken pos session of the country, exciting the public mind to a state nf delirium, abstracting' msrty of the people fiom their castumary -pursuits,'with the inspiring hope of the sudden accuinuUlion.oflbrtune, has been the chief and prolifio source ofouitainbarrAsimetiia. Debts were contracted without reflection t .tr, upon tha .wild sup position that the staple commodity of the South, ilia great regulator of the value of trroperty, would main tain an utiilhninlshed price, tn'dhithitiof prodigality as extravsgsnt as this unwarrantable expectation, were indulged. Meh toko never before yielded to delusive temptations, caught th® contagion, and those alone escaped wild trusted thetnielve* not within the sphere of its infection. When the nsroxlsm wssover, and the day nl'retribution canic. and .brought with it that sober consideration which the. debtor, disappointed In his Imaginary means, realizes, wli'enthrown uponhis nctunl resources to meet Ills engagements, the true condition of the country was known, dnd It was one or extraor dinary pressure. Fortunately for the debtor class ol the community, the severity ortlte tlmei tins been great ly mitigated by the magnanimous forbearance nf many credihirs to urge the cullectlau of their debts,, anil by the timely aid afforded by the .Central Bank. This Institution, witlt a liberality becoming it, administered to the general relief with IHI)e mean* at its command. Itcuuld not hive done mOrit without exposing its issues to a ruinous depreciation, which would have been far more calamitous, than tliepvil* intended to be remedied by it* kind interposition. Though the late distribution lias been liberal,.-it has come far short of relieving the embarrassments of the people. It is impossible, nnd perhaps inconsistent witfi the principle* of sound policy, for the.Government to undertake to proteetthe citizen from the consequences onitiprudence or miscnlnulatlon. A reliance nf this sort would beget a dependence ties tractive ofilidivIdual enterbrite, engender and cherish habits of reckless speculation, and foster a spirit of in difference tu active and industrious pursuits, hostile to the welfare of society. Habits nf industry .and a rigid economy .list would .forbid the expenditures of the year to equal tha Iiiweai estimate of the probable in come, nnd a firm resintance nf the allurements to apecu Intion, held out by the tempting prospects of unreasons bli gaiit. are sure gukrantres nf immunity from pecu niary troubles, as well as of individual piosperiiy. Willi the Act nPtheQJd of December laat, requiring the Director^ of the aevernj Banks and Branch Banka to disclose the amounts due by them respectively to tiie Banka of which they are Directors, and enjoining on the Presided nr Cashier (tief^qty of sutins the eggregnte amount of indebteduers by Stockholders,'eliber (hr ennitnl stock'dr moneys borrowed,butfew nfthe Banks have complied.

Borne of them responded to the cajl by forwarding the required statements, others declined Obedience to lilt; low, assigning reasons for it.and a few disregarded altogoilier tits communication addressed io thedi; The reasons assigned lire tttuenible. Some while atliort In aUUitl„n, o&aepy elm hlohmr-graanil Of the want of constitutional rutliority to the Legislature to snact II With regard tothe objection on the ground nf inexpediency, it may be remarked, Rial when the Legislative will ia constitutionally declared, none liaa the right to question it, or set up his judgment in opim sitinn to it. All itwo it obedience. It Is the law nf the land. The constitutional power of the Legislature to enact die law, cannot be questioned. It cannot bo con ceded that, when a corporation is once created, it ia pinned beyond the reach of legislation. Bo far as the charter constitutes a contract between the Government and the corporators, no law can be pasted impairing It!obligation; but itmaybe punished fora tierrersion or fraudulent use of any of i j privileges, If the stock is nut actually paid in, tue only consideration which im nnrti to tho charter the semblance of a contract, or hav ing bren paid, is fraudulently abstracted, the act nfin< corporation may be repealed, or such other meaaure adopted as may he deemed necessary to protect die country against ilia consequences of (taper issues upon fictitious CHpitol. The low to which I have adverted, was intended to ex|>osc the transactions of the Banks. *9 far as to ascertain whether tltelr operations were based upon a paper ora specie capital. This was no assault upon the chartered right* of any Bank, and a delicate sensibility to tiie credit of stockholders, did not warrant die assumption of* discretion to refuse to make such disclosures os were considered by the I e gislatore preessary to guard effectually tlte community against unjusnfialilu impositions. Many ofiho Banks are still in a state of suspension: an evil which lias subjected the community to great lossea. Extraordinary privileges have been granted to these corporations, nut for tho purpose of snbstitn- ting a'worse for a better currency, and enabling the proprietors to- grow rich by tbe operation, butlbat they, furnishing a less unwiwdly and more convenient medium of exchange than the precious meials, convert ilde into coin at the option of the holder, might receive nnd enjoy all the benefits resulting from these privi leges. When, therefore, they permit their note to fall below the volue.of specie, they breaktlmir fuillt with the comiponiiy and violate the spirit, and io some instancesthe lolloroftheRniiitunder which they ex ercise their functions. This is perhaps a difficulty which ennnnt He entirely obviated, inherent in tho sys tem of substituting a paper for a metallic currency; but it ' is one that cannot long exist when Banks are conducted on proper principles; a whentheircapital has in good ftilh, been paid in, nnd when such paper alone is discounted as can bo made available in tune of pres sure for tbe redemption of the notes for which it was negotiated. Every class of society is interested in the maintenance of a sound currency, and this great end cannot be accomplished without requiring punctuality of institution* to which has been trranted the extraordi nary privilege of furnishing it.
