Athens, July loth, 18.33.
JMcssrs, Editors —A report is prevailing, and ;
to which wide circulation has been given bv the j
newspapers, that I have changed mv opinion j
on the Bank question. Lest silence on my !
part might seem to give it even the semblance >
of tmth, I am constrained reluctantly to appear
in your paper to contradict such an unjust and ;
unfounded suggestion. Such report, as I un-1
derstand, hw#gone forth by reason of a letter j
addressed to some individual in Philadelphia ;
through the agency of one of tilt; Directors of
the Branch of the United Stales’ Bank, at Wash
ington * ity, by giving information of a transac
tion in that Bank relative to niyseif, which it
shall be the purpose of this communication to
explain, and will, I have no doubt, he perfectly
satisfactory to every human being, of the least
liberality, who shall do me the justice to read it. ;
When I left home, in November last to take j
my seat in Congre-s, I carried with me a large !
sum of money, in Georgia currency, to fulfil a
contract for machinery in the City of New
York. I applied at the above Bank to exchange
it for United States, Bills, hut upon being in
formed that a premium of seven percent, would
he -ii n anded, I declined it, and determined to
Sfiti'i it back so Augusta, for the purpose of pur
chasing a Bill of Exchange, where, as I was
informed, one could he obtained for one and a
half'per cent. Accordingly, by a safe private
conveyance, I forwarded it to an individual,
with an earnest request to effect the purchase
end return the draft without delay, a.- by mv
contract I was to be entitled to a deduction
of three per cent, for prompt payment. This
took place on the 13th of January, and on the
28tl> of the same month, I received a letter from
the bearer of the funds informing me of their
delivery, and enclosing the receipt of the person
to whom they had been remitted. From the
last individual I could learn nothing, though re
peatedly addressed. Thus strongly threatened
with a heavy loss, and still more harrassod by
the consequences it was likely t<> involve, I, of
cours-.awaited the ex'-tit with unusual anxiety
and. as might well be imagined, with no little
interruption to my public duties. 1 was held
in this suspense during the whole session of
Congress, and finally, was informed by a friend,
to whom I had written on the subject, that my
agent had used the money and had failed.
This information I received on the sth of
March, the day after Congress adjourned, and
hot twodavs alter 1 had voted, in a minority oi
41, that I beliex'ed the Bank of the I nit'd States
an unsafe depository of the public money. It
is impossible, if it were necessary to descrih’
the state of my feelings at the moment. 1
large sum of money faithlessly embezzled- in
urgent contract claiming performance—without
the means of satisfying the demand—from
home, and- qurtitly away from all my e -
sources—in a land of strangers, and compelled
I . circumstances to r< main at Washington, it
may readily be conceived what was mv situa
ti n, and th ‘ situation may be safely submitted
t the reaction of a!> • ini con munity. 1 had
sutficien* proof, at the time, what generous
minds will do under such an unlooked for diffi
‘ii ty. As soon as I read the letter announcing
mv misfortune, I handed it over to someone of
the gen l-tnen will w hom I bearded, and, men
uon and the distressing perplexity it occasioned j
in the failure of my engagement, a matter of
much more concern to me, than the less itself.
In an instant and unsolicited,General Hohmson
a Senator from Indiana,stept aside to a table,
mid knowing the amount I wanted, (being con
siderably h s# than I had lost) dr< w a note for it,
endorsed it himself, and was immediately and
voluntarily succeeded in that kind and magnan
imous act by Judge Manghatn, and General
Hawkins of North Carolina, Judge Bouldin of
Virginia, Col. King of Alabama, and Captain
M Intire of Maine, who returned and presented
11’ me, remarking that they hoped it would re
lieve mv present embarrassment. In the glow
of feeling which such a generous a< t inspired,
and certain!v in violent contrast with those un
der which but a few moments before I had suf
fered, I accepted their kind offer, though it was
to borough money from a Bank against which,
politiciaHy, I was and am still opposed, not
however without expressing mv apprehension
that their friendly interlerence w'ould he una
vailing, or that an improper construction would
be placed upon the transaction. To obviate
which Col. King, with that, readiness deman
ding my most tinginlified acknowledgements,
repaired with the note to the Bank, explained
fully all the circumstances under which the
loan was asked, and was wholly instrumental
in Qnrfuking the accommodation. The Bank
asked, and I have no doubt expected, nothing
else but ample security for their money. And
though the above endorsers are worth two hun
dred thousand dollars, yet to observe strictly
the rules of the Bank, its officers required of
me a town endorser, or xvhat was tantamount to
it. This was complied with. But a day or
two after, Gen. Van Ness, the President of one
of the City Banks, hearing of my loss and tin
great inconvenience to which it subjected me,
wry generously offered me the same accommo
dation. Thus then, a loan sought in conse
quence of an urgent and unforeseen necessity,
created by as unexpected ar act of perfidy—ac
quired in the most open manner —upon the best
security—from an institution whose business it
is to lend money for gain—professing to be im
partial in its favors, and made in strict compli
ance with its rules, has been tortured into a
peace offering, designed and so received by
me, to quiet mv opposition to its re-establish-
’ inent! 1 ,anguage tails me to xpress, in a sense
of becoming sell-respect, the scorn which is due
to such heartless illibcrahty. I will however,
do the officers of the Bank the justice to say,
I do not believe they intended their agency in
this matter, to have any such effect, and there,
fore can not be so illiberal as to expect it, what -
ever may he the views of a single director, in
the unkind and not less false suggestion to
which his'gratuitous information has given rise
1 have taken the liberty to mention the names
of my endoisers, w ith no motive of an ostenta
tious display of the high character, w ith which
my credit has been supported, but to avail my
self of their distinguished reputation to sustain
the facts of my statement, so far as connected
with the Bank transaction ; and to a public not.
always too creduh us or indulgent towards a
narrative intended to tefuse a slander, I have
thought it not amiss to tender a list of the wit—
nesses. A, S. CLAYTON.
P. S. It is reasonably expected that this
communication will find a place in all those pa
pers where it has been deemed a matter of such
public interest to convict me of inconsistency.
The Mammoth and the City Banks.—lt
is said that the U. S. Branch Bank in the city
of New York, aided by the parent institution,
has pushed th< local hanks for specie, for sever
al weeks, with unusual urgency, and that the
consequence is a pressure upon the money
market and restricted die* ounts. It is not ne
cessary to show that the Bank has a particular
design in this, to establish the fact that it pos
sesses an undue power over the local banks and
over the money market ; and that it may ex
ercise the one and control the other to the inju
ry of the hanks and of the community. Wheth
er it be the effect of its own previous over is
sues, or the result cf a scheme to narrow tho
means of the local banks and to add to its otva
strength ; the conclusion is still inevitable, that
it possesses undue and dangeious pow ers, atnl
that they are liable to be wielded by passion or
caprice, or for sinister objects, t<* the public in
jury, if not to the ruin of individuals, It is not
to be denied that the power of this institution,
for evil if not for good, is very much increased
by the forbearing course pursued towards it by
th” general government. Indeed, it may bo
said that the money of the government, against
its own wishes and interests, enables the Mon
opoly to oppress the local Banks, and to accom
plish nearly any scheme of advantage or of ven
i eance. The immense sums kept in deposito
by till government, have lent it the means not
only to sustain itself against the public opinion ,
but to carry on a war, w ith fearful odds, against
the State institutions ; to cripple their means,
and to restrict their ability to serve the public
in seasons of pressure or of increased demand
for money. It tends also to conv y the im
pression that the Bank enjoys fully the confi
dence of the government, and is essential to
the public convenience ; and that, whatever
may have been the expressions of the popular
opinion nnd expectation, and however fully
that opinion may hav< been responded to bv
the Executive and by the representatives of the
people it must be sustained, not only in its
measures against the State banks, but in its
means, however questionable, to procure the
renewal of its charter. The whole subject
merits the serious consideration of the govern,
ment; for it is not easy to predict what mav
he the consequences of a continuance of the
present state oi’ things.
A Southerner had a large shaggy Hop, of whui
is commonly called the cur species, of which
he gave in th*- presence of a number of persons,
the following character ;
‘He’s a litth tin keenest critter you ever did
see real wild eat—muscle and grizzle all
over—can eat a hedge hog—dodge a thunder
clap and whip any four legged animal that ever
talked the earth.’
‘IL mi. t he ascrowger,’ raid a hog-merchant
present—*hu(, I’ll bet you a cool ten dollars that
I’ve got an old hoar, in the field out yonder that
he can’t make run, no day-’
‘D.mc ‘.’--exclaimed the Southerner—takin
out th money, which was coveted by that of the
hog dilx-r. It was acold winter morning, and
‘he company had to wade tnrough the snow ere
they coaid reach the old hoar. When they ar
rived at the field, the animal was pointed out; he
was standing passively in a corner ; and no
sooner uid the dog perceive his antagonist than
he seized hint by the throat and they both rolled
into the snow together.
