And if, on this occasion, iny wor.Ly friend from Georgia has f .ue over into the ramp ot the enemy, is it kind in kim to wk back upon hia firmer friends, and rebuke them for tby 6 Iclity with which they adhere to their old principles ! I shall not amp to examine how far a representative is bound by the instructions nr bis constituents. That is a question bet ween the giver and receiver of the instructions. Hat 1 must be penniued 10 express my surprise at tba point- e I difference which has been made, between the opinion* ofdtate Legislature, and the deputations with wli cb we have been surroun led from Philadelphia.

Tbeir communications hare been treasured up with tbe creates! diligence Never did the Delphic priests collect with more holy care the frantic expressions of tbe ag'uted Pytbia. or expound them with more solemnity to the astonished Grecian, than has the Ountnittee gathered tbe opinio t and testitn mica of these deputies, and, through the gentleman ‘roni M i*ascbu*- its. detailed them to the Senate I—Philadelphia ha* Iter itnue diate representatives, capable of expressing her wishes, up on tfce floor ol th s other House. If 11 lie i uproper for Stales 11 obtrude upon Cong -ess their sentiment*, it is much mn-e highly so for the unaumorised deputies ot fortuitous congre gations. Tbe first singular feature that attracts attention in tlti* bill, is <be new and unconstitutional vetifwiiich it esuhhahes. T ie Goustitutioa, b*a required, only, mat nf.« v bills hare passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, they shall be presented to l te President for bis approval or re jectioo, and Ilia determination is to be made known in ten diys.

I coulrwl tlist the Blairs have the ex -iusive |»iwrr to »egulale con tra -ts—10 declare the rapacities and incapacities to contract and to provide as to the extent of responsibility of debtors to their errt itor*. If Congress have me tnwcr in erect an irtiticial body, and say, it shall be endowed with the aiirib utesof an individual—if you can bestow tin Uiir object of your own creation tbe ability to c attract, may you not. in contravention of Stile Kights'cnufcr upon staves, infanta and feuitar* Ctvrlet the ability to contract ? -And if you have the imwer t • say. that an association ol individuals shall lie reap >.i*ifJe for tbeir debts, only in a cert a in limited degree, what is to prevent au extension of a similar exemption to in dividuals? Where is the limitation noon this power, to set uji corporations ? You establish one in tbe heart of a Butte—the basis of whose capital is money. You may erect others, whose capital shall consist of land, slaves and per- sons I estates, ami thus, the wh’le propeny. within the juris diction nf a Bute, might lie abaotbed by these political ito- •lies. The existing "bank contends, tlmt it is beyond the power of a Bute to tax it, and, if this pretension, be well founded, it i* in the power of Congees*, by chartering Com panies, to dry up all the sources of State Revenue. Geor gia Ins undertaken, it is true to levy a ux on the bram-li within her jurisdiction—but tbia law. now under a course uf litigation, is considered as invalid. Tne United State* owns a great deal of land in the State nf Ohio Can this Govern u>e 11k for the purjiose of creating an ability 11 purchase it. • barter a Company f Alien* are forbidden, I believe, in that State to bold real estate Could you in order to multi ply purchasers, rotifer upon them the capacity to hold lahd, ■a derogation of the legal law ? I imagine this will Aardiv be iu.isteti upon, and yet there exists a more obvious con nexion between tbe undoubted power which is possessed by this Government to sell its land, and tbe means of exe cuting that power, by increasing the demand in the market, than there it between ibis Bank ami the collection of a tax. I'oi* Government has tbe power in levy taxe* to raise ar- tniea—provide munition*—make war—reguiatecommerce— coin money. Ac. Ac. It would not be difficult to allow aa intimate a connection between a corporation established for any p irpuic whatever, and some one or otter of these great powers, at there is between the revenue aud the Batik of tbe United States. Let us enquire into the actual participation r.f ibis Bank in the collection ol tbe reveune. Prior to the passage of the act of JBOO. requiring die collectors of those porta of en try at which the principal Bank, or any of its office*, are situated, to deposite with them the custom house bond*, it bad not tlie smallest agency in the collection of the duties Dunne almost one moiety of die period to which the exist e.iceof this institution, was limited, it was in no wise inslru- inenial in tbe collection of that revenue 10 which it is now become indispensable! The collection previous to- ItfOO, was made entirely by the collectors; and, eveu at pn- sent where there is one |mrt of entry, at which this Ban* is em ployed. there are right or ten at which die collection i* made, as it was before iBUO. And. sir, wlia’ docs this tiauk •ir its branches where resort is bad to it ? It does not ad just with the merchant tbe amount nf duty, nor take Ins bond. nor. if tbe bond is uot paid, coerce the paymeut by distress or otherwise. In fact, it has no active agency what ever in die collection. Its operation ii merely passive; that is. if die obliged, after his bond is placed in the Bank, discharges it. all ts very well. Such is dir mighty aid af forded by this tax gatherer, without which die Government c innnt gel along I Again ; it is n..t pretended that the very limited assistance which this institution doe* in truth ren ter, extend* to any odirr than a single species of tax—that is. duties. In the collection of the excise, die direct and o her internal taxes, no aid was derived from any Bank. It is true, in the collection of those taxe*. the farmer did n t tbtaio the same indulgence which the merchant receives in prying duties. But what obliges Congress to gbrecredii ar all I Could it not demand prompt payment of the dude* ? Ini in fart, does it not so demand in many instance- ? Whether credit is given or not. is a matter of lucre discre tion. if it b»- a facility to mercantile operations (a* 1 pre sume it is,) it ought to he granted But I deny the rignt to engr ill upon it a Bank, which you would not otherwise bare the power to erect. You catir.ot ckkxtx the nkckssitt ol 1 B ink. and then plead th it nece<*He fur its establishment. In tbe adm nistratiouof its finances, the Bank actssimply a* a payer and receiver. The Secretary of tbe Treasory'iiaa money in New York and wants it in Charleston; die Bank wi 1 furnish him with a check or b 11. to make the remittance. A-hic'.i any merchant would do just aa well. I will now *now, by fact, actual experience, not riierortc reasoning, bar by the records themselves ol the Treasury, that t'te operation of that department may be as we | coo- luctrd without aa with this Bank. The dr'usion has con sistrd in the use of cert iiu high sounding phrases, dexter •mil* uied on that occasion—"the collection of the revenue" — the adniiotstrdtinn nf the fi-iance*”— -die c mdurnng ol lie fiscal affair* nf the Government"—the usual language of the advocate* of a Hank, to extort express assent, or awe in to acq'iiesence. without inq'tiry'or examination into neers *iry. About the commencement nf thi* year there appear* by the report of tbe Secretary of die Treasury, of the 7tlt of January, to have been a little Upwards «f two million* tud four hundred thousand dollars in die Treasury of tbe UniteJ States; and more than one-third of this whole sum was in the vaults of local B .nks.

And, without it. every thing dependent upon the caprice of the Judge, we sbou d have no security lor o„r dearest rights It is far otherwise, when applied in the source of legislation. Here no rule exists but the Constitution, and to legislate upon the grotmd merely that our predecessors thought themselves authorized, under simt'areircutosianees to legislate, is In sanctify etror and perpetuate usurpation. But if we are to be suljected to toe trammels of precedent, 1 ciaim, 00 the otht r hand, the benefit < f the restrictions un der wtiich the intelligent Judge cautiously receives them. It is st! established rule, that to give a previous adjudication any effect, the mind ol the Judge who pronounced it must have been awakened tn die sul jrei, and it must have been a deliberate opinion fumed after fuh argument. In leehnieal language, it must not hn'v* been mlbhmritim Now. the acts ol 1UU4 and 1307, retied upon as fledges tor the recliartei- ing this company, pas.-ed not only without any discussions whatever of the constitutional power I -F Congress to estab lish a Bjnk ; hut, I venture to sa;. with ml a single member oaring had his attention drawn l* this question.

But oilcc substitute practice lor principle—the ex posiliun of tbe Couxtituiinn. for the text of tbe Constitution and in vain shall we look for the instrument, in the iuatru tneiil itself. It wi:l be a* diffused and iutaugible ns the p.-rtrnJed Constitution of England, sod must be sought 'ot m the statute book, in thn fugitive journals of Congress, am. the reports of tlie Secretary of the Treasury. Wlia would be our condition, if we were :o take tbe interpreta linns given to that aakrtfd book, which is, or bugllt hi be the criterion of our fault, fur the book itself? We should fine ■be Holy Bible buried beneath the interpretations, glosses, and comme ts uf councils, synods, and learned Divine.-, which have produced swarms of intolerant and furiou* sects, pat taking less of the mildness of their origin: than of a vin dictive spirit of hostility towards each other. They ought to afford us a solemn warning, to make tluit Constitution which we have sworn to support, our invariable guide. 1 conceive then, air, that we are not empowered by the Constitution, nor bound by any practice under it, to renew tbe charter of this Hank, and I might here rest the argu ment. But as there are strong Dejections to the renewal, on the score nf expediency ; end. as the distresses w hich will attend the dissolution of the Bank have been greatly exag gerated, 1 will ask for your indulgence tor a few in- meals longer.

It i* emphatically Federal, vested with an aggregate of specified power* lot- general purposes conceded by existing sovereignties, who bare themselves retained what i* not m conceded. It ia said, that there are case* in which it must set on implied powers. Thi* is not c >utro»erted, bat the implication must be necessary, and obviously flaw (mm the numerated power with which it is nllied. Tlie powe tn charter co , p n es is no: specified in the grant, and Ico iletid. is m>t tra inferable by m?re implication. It is one of the inm-t-'X ilted attributes a»f sovereignty. In the exercise of lb : * g xan: c power, we have seen an Hast India Company created, which has Car ried dismay, desolation and death throughout one of the largc-l portions of the h thimble world—n company, which is in itscif * s trereignty—which has sub re ted empire*, and set up new dyasaties. audJias not only made war. but war against iu legitimate sovereign. Under the influence of ibis power, we hare seen arise a (South den Company and a Missioiptd Contpsny tint distracted and convulsed all Europe, and men.' 1 "si overthrow of all credit and coafidMie.and univgr**! bankruptcy.

U|kvi the point of responsibility. I caun :t subscribe tn the opinion of the Secretary of the Treasury t if it is meant, that tlie ability tn pay the am ont of any deposits which the Government may make under any exigency, ia greater than that of tlie State Banks; lU.mhc accountability of a ramified institution, whose affairs are managed by a single head, re *|Min*ihle for all iu me-nliera, ia more simple than that nf a number of indeiierdent and unconnected establishment*. 1 shall not deny ; bat with regard to safely. I am strongly in- •-lined to think it is on the side of the local Hanks. The corruption or misconduct of the parent, or any of it* branch e«. m ty bankrupt or destroy the whole system, and the loss of the Government in that event will be of the deposites made with each whereas, in rbe failure of one State Bank, the I is- will be ror.fiued to the deposit in the vault of th it Bank. It is said to bare been a part nf Burr’s plan, to seize on the branch Bank at New Orleans. At that period, large sum*, imported from La Vera Cruz, are alleged to have been deposited with it, and if the traitor bad nneomplisbed the design, the Hank of the United State* it not actually bankrupt, might have been constrained to stop payment. It is ureed by the gentleman front Maasai-hnsetU, (Mr. Lloyd ) that as tbia nation advances in commerce, wealth and population, new energies Will be unbtided. new wants and exigencies will arise and lienee he inf. rs. that powers must be implied from the Constitution.
