to too soon? I mean tiie ascertaining dlaciK
and unequivocauy Lota the candidates tor

to answer fully and honestly. It is but a
short time to the election, and wo should aii
know distinctly what measures these men wifi
carry out before they are voted tin. It is
neediess to disguise it, the next session of
Congress is to decide between the I idepen

the people of Goo g a in fa or of the enutinua

the whole people pay to defray too expens, s
of the Nation, be given up to a few Back Di

grinding tyranny of a monied ; owe ? I ii
not if g i!y necessary for us to know, how the
candidates, who seek our votes, and who are
to have so much power entrusted to them,
stand affected upon this very subj et? It is
not forgotten, that most of ihe late Delega
tion, before their election, in 1837, in answer
to the questions propounded to a!! ihe candid
ates by the citizens of Taliaterro and Frank
lin Counties, dec!a ed themselves opposed to
a National Bank in every shape or form; they
further declared that they were in favor of
separating the Government from all connec

1 the Democratic Republicans ol litis count)',
j their earnest ca:i tor my services, and the
! g"serous and zealous support with which 1
] was last year honored by electing me io the
.Senate in our Slate Legislature, have induced
me to sacrifice my own feelings and vv.shes,
‘and to aliow my name that place on the tick
'd for the next Legislature, designated by
them. It is known to my followcitizens that
I have often, publicly and privately, avowed
my inclination to withdraw my name from
any contest lor office. I had hope i in this
j desire to he gratified, hut those who last year
Unstained me in my efforts to defend the rights
of the people against one of the most insidi
ous attempts ever made in Georgia, to cur
tail the privileges and liberties ol ihe people.
S mean the well known memorial, the object
of winch was to influence the Legislature to
| pass a law prohibiting the sJe of ardent
I spirits in small quantities, thereby placing it
out of the reach and means of the poor peo
’ pie to buy. Those who witnessed my efforts
lin the Legislature to put the people on an

i b'-i specifying their powers arid privilege a,
| and the express conditions upon which those
I powers were to he exercised and those privi
lieges enj-.yed, that those bai.ks claim their
being. If they have violated the law which
gave them existence, if. i,< suspending specie
payments, they I :,ve forfeited their rights
and privi'.-gc ; us L. .iking institutions, i can
see no reason nor justice in the position as
sutned by the friends of the Banks, that the
Leg-future cannot annul their charters. The
Lcgisbitijrecreated them lot certain purposes,

I people if it is right that the Bunks shall refuse!

et them stop business; there is no reason nor
[justice in iiiiow-i-g them to exercise their
j lut.kmg privileges at the sac. ifice of your
i interests. For you see that from their sus

it is I. ;a 112 to 2 1-2 per cent. The mer
chant |'*ys tins exei unge to lhe Banks, but
.vt'.en you go to if st*.-e to buy his goods he
m s you pay it to i,.n> by wav of an extra
1 ; e. A reason urged why the Banks
-Pei. fi out be c. fed to resume is that they
: eauuot -tu bum ss i: they pay specie. Then
let litem abandon the business; they took tiie
[charters voluntarily arid with the conditions
io them. If every Bank in Columbus were
in rooks one m ion dollars every year, not
one do ‘? would go into your pockets, wlth
jouta full consideration. Then cue the peo
ple under any obligations to sustain a parcel
of local Banks in winch they have no interest:
when t’ use Banks violate the laws and forfeit
; the'r charters? With the same propriety
ought the merchant who has over traded and
: contracted debts beyond his ability to pay.
o k the Legislature to arrest the execution of
[ the Inv fur the eolkehtw o/ hrs debts, .because
I his creditors wouid suffer if he should be
pushed. Every citizen engaged in business
who is authorized; has the same right to the
clemency and forbearance of the law, winch
the Banks have. But none are shown. Mne!
people's debts are forced out of ihein under!
lire ha miner of the sheriff - .
‘Lhe course I pursued towards the Banks
was dictated from a sense of duly to my
country and the interests and rights of the
people. Subsequent reflection, ai.J the daily j
evidence of its propriety have increased my
zeal in favor of the same policy. The only
hanking system I am the advocate of for the j
State, is a State Bank, with branches located |
at the most suitable commercial points for j
facilitating the business operations of the
people with a capital sufficient to answer that
purpose. The btate would be pledged for
the bills, all its resources and credit would be
sufficient evidence to the bill holder of its
solvency, and thus a sound currency would
be furnished, and one in which every citizen
would feel an interest, and take pride in sus
taining. In such an institution all ils profits
would go into the common or State Treasury
for the benefit, not of a favored few, but the
who e people. The people wou’d be relieved
from taxation to a great degree and under a
correct and economical administration of such
an institution, the t, xes of the people would
be merely nominal. Schools and academies
would be established with die profits for the
benefit of every man, rich or poor. Our
highways and public roads could be improv
ed and kept in order at public expense;
These ate some of the advantages which
arc the legitimate results of a system, which,
if it be ever fairly tested in Georgia, will
meet the decided approbation of the people.
Influenced by the hope and conviction that
the advantages would result, to which I have
adverted, from such a system, I introduced a
bill the provisions of which were intended to
meet and carry out such an object. Another
biil somewhat similar was introduced into the
House of Representatives, in which the clause
authorizing branches as contemplated in my
bill, was stricken out by a vole of the house.
I therefore abandoned my bill i:i the Senate,
because ibe rule of the bouse precluded its
passage there. The bill enlarging the pow
ers of the Central Bank which was passed,
and for which I voted, does riot alier the
character of that institution: it is still a State
Institution, belonging to the people and for
their benefit, designed to aid and relieve
them. There is not a clause in the biii
which authorized its suspension; nor would 1
have voted for it with any such provision.
If the local Banks were made to resume, the
Central Bank, under authority of the bill of
the last session, could sell the stock which
the State owns in the local Banks, and there
by enable her to pay specie for any bill she
has legally issued or emitted. I have gone,
fellow citizens, thus minutely into this sub
jeet that you may understand the whole facts
and the motives by which my votes in the
Legislature were influenced. Upon this sub
ject so interesting to you. one which vilaliy
concerns your interests, I have been plain
and explicit. If lam the antagonist of the
suspended Banks it is because tiiy duly, as
your public servant, required me to be so. It
is with you to sustain me in my policy, or to
sustain the Batiks. There is no tyrant so
despotic as a monied influence. Once let the
Banks get the people fully under their con
trol, and you may enjoy ihe forms of liberty
and freedom, but that spirit which now warms
the bosom of my countrymen, which prompts
to resistance against every encroachment of
their rights, would be tame and submissive,
and they the mere passive tools of power.
The next subject upon which I acted at the
lasi session, and which I will be called upon,
if elected, again to act, is one which deep'y
concerns your interests, and about which but
I'tile is stud, and (I fear) felt in this country.
It is the great rail road in the Cherokee
country, which was commenced some few j
years since by the State, the prime object of!
which is to open a communication with the j
wall rs of the Mississippi, by terminating i;
north at or near some point on the Tennes
see river, and its s* uthern terminus is in De-
Kalb couniy, east of the Chattahoochee river,
where it is expected private rail roads be
longing to companies in MacOti and Augus
ta, and running from those cities, will unite.
This road has already cost hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, and stiil not a foot of it fin
ished ready for the cars, and before its com
pletion it will require millions, or at least bun
dreds of thousands of dollars of the people’s
money; money raised out of your hi bur and
prosjxcts. During the last” session of the
Legislature I investigated this great subject,
ifiily and thoroughly/ I looked into its im
mense cost and ihe estimated amount it
wouid still require to finish it. I also satisfi
ed myself that it was very probable it would
ne er be worth a dollar to the people or the
Slate. I therefore voted against all bills to
involve the State any farther, or to make any
further appropriations. I wished the people
!■) have lime to reflect upon a subject so im
portant, and let them determine if the policy
I advocated was not best to suspend ah fur
ther operation upon it until a reaction in the
tunes and the Slate had paid the debts she
already owed. I fear it may become a fruit
ful source of taxation and a subject of lasting
expense. This is a subject you should take
into your own hands. ‘ It is one which will
claim the attention of the next Legislature,
and those who may represent you there
should he advised of your wishes in relation
to ib The next question which was before
the Legislature is one of a local character
and in which we are more immediatclv in
terested. I allude to the improvement of the
water power, for manulacturing purposes
within the incorporated limits of Columbus
mi the Chattaboocbe river. 1 introduced into
the Senate a bill which passed that branch of!
the Legislature, but was lost in the House of
Representatives, the object of which was to
authorize the City Council to lease for a num
ber of years, or sell the whole ora part of
those water privileges for manufactories. The
erection and successful employment of facto
ries upon our river, would concentrate in our
city, a large population of working men and
mechanics. It would revive trade and com
merce here, make Columbus a good market
for productions of the county, enhance the’
value of teal estate and increase our prosper-’
it v beyond the most sanguine hopes of our
happiest and most prosperous days. We
have only to look to the effect which factories
have had in other places under circumstances
and advantages not to be compared to those
with which nature and a productive soil and
congenial climate have blessed us. Cities
iiave sprung up within a few years in the
Eastern States, which now have thousands
of inhabitants, enjoying great prosperity, sus
tained alone by their manufacturing estab
lishments. I have thought, fellow-citizens, to
accomplish an object so important, one which
promises so much benefit and in its realiza
tion will astonish while it shall delight you
with its resulls, is worthy our serious consid
eration 3nd our zealous and united tfibrls.
Th .s brief but imperfect description of its
importance will, I hope, wake up public re
flection. Will call back our thoughts fora
moment from the struggle and s'rife of na
tional politics to the contemplation of the
advantages which we may derive from this
measure. I have felt it my duty, occupying
i the position I do, to bring before you the
I subjects, and to submit the remarks I have
] made with a full consciousness that if proper
| action is had in relation to them, your embar
; raiments will be relieved and your prosperity
greatly increased. I cannot conclude with
j out bringing before you, fellow-citizens, some
j of the objections and facts in relation to the
[ candidates for President. The attempts
j which ar>? made to your leeJinws and
■ excite your prejudices in behalf of the federiri;
‘candidate, -\VElam Henry Harrison, by log;
flirts, Tippecanoe clubs and meetings, toe [
p’retenJed diinkngol hard c.Jer, tfie unceas j
mg cry of hard times, extravagance and]
corruption against Mr. \an Boren, t;.e j
marches and countermarches, the pageantry
and parade of banners with mottoes, sfiuu.fi
cause you to pause, look around you, take a
careful survey of the ground you occupy, and
ask yourselves the question, what do all
these tilings mean? What has happened to
the country, and what is the danger with
which we are threatened? ihe time neces
sary to the investigation of tfie.se questions,
will solve the whole problem, and explain their
object. It is a desire to elect Gen. Harrison
and to defeat Mr. Van Bu-en, the present
President. What has Mr. Van Buren done
which makes hjm more objectionable than
Gen. Harrison. They charge hin first with
having expended millions of the public reve
nue, the people’s money. Do they name one
act where he has spent one do !ar, except
Congress passed a law authfTrizing him to do
so? They have not and can not point to a
single instance. Then if Congress pass the
laws specifying the manner and object of ap
propriation of the public money, which is to
blame, Congress or the President? Every
one of those Harrison men, those hard cider,
iog cabin advocates who talk so lamentably
about the people’s money, who make so much
noise in Congress, voted for those large ap
propriations of 1838 and 1839, which are
blazoned forth so extensively through ihe
country. They take care to keep that fact
in the dark, and like the thief win. commits
theft and is pursued, cries thief that lie may
deceive his pursuers and divert their atten
tion from him, lo someone who is innocent.
Why, if those appropriations are wrong, did
those Federal Harrison Whigs vote for them?
Now it docs seem to me, if it was right lor
them to vote for the expenditure of the peo
ple’s money, it was also right that Mr. Van
Buren should have the money expended and
paid out as the law.directed. They cannot
tell you of a single law Mr. Van Buren has
ever sanctioned which is unconstitutional. If
he follows up the Constitution, will you con
demn? Are you dissat.sfird with a govern
ment you have been raised under and which
iias protected y* ur tights and liberties? If
you are not, do riot suffer this senseless parade
) ou witness in the country, to alarm and drive
you from its support.
I am prepared to say that the enemies of
Mr. Van Buren, if they will fairly represent
him since he lias been President,cannot name
a single act, which is against Southern rights
and interests: his friends have fought si le by
side With Southern :n-rubers against the abo
litionists, and they have acled togethei upon
every leading measure. Does this not prove
conclusively that the whole object in electing
Harrison, is to bring the Federalists into pow
er, and to fix down upon the country, rts curs
es and its evils. The history of Gen. Harri
son, as a civilian and politician, is a chapter
of ti e most glaring and contemptible inconsis
tencies aid contradictions. He, in 1822.
while before the people of Ohio for Congress,
declared he had joined an abolition society
at the age of IS years, and that he had been
slandered and calumniated in die charge that
be was the friend of slavery. He, at one
time voted for the admission of Missouri into
the Union, free of any slavery restriction:
during the very next year in the Ohio Le
gislature he voted for resolutions instructing the
Senators of Ohio to prohibit slavery in any
State west of ihe Mississippi, which vote
embraced the very State he ha I before voted
to admit without restriction. He at one time
expressed the opinion tint the plans and
schemes of the abolitionists were wild, wicked,
unconstitutional. At another time, in a -lib of
July Oration at Cheviot!, he,said it had long
beep an object near Ids hem t to see the whole
es ilie surplus revenue, (the people’s money)
appropriated by the consent of Slates to the
emancipation of tne slaves. At one tune lie
says the United Slates Bank is unconstitution
al; at another, if it is essentia! to carry on the
financial operations of the government, and
there is a majority in its favor, he would sup .
port or sanction it. He is for ii or against
just as citcumsiences may direct him; he cares
nothing about the Cotsstituliun or itspro visions.
He was such a* strong Lieu! to the Tariff be
said he would not go lor its modification un
til the streets of Norfolk and-Charleston grew
up in grass, and the cause could be traced to
trie Tariff. He has said he would not dis
turb the compromise. He wore tlie Hack
cockade of old Adams’ fede:alistn, a.s is pro
ven by the following letter-of John Fowler,
of Kentucky, a member of Congress at that
time with Gen. Harrison:
Lexu-gton, June 27, 18-10.
Hear Sir: In answer io your letter of this date, I
will say that I was iti Congress, as a member, during
the great su-Jggle between'Jefferson anil Adams, and
know the fact, that William Henry Hannon, then a
delegate from the Nortliv/esicrn Territory, was upon
the side of Mr. Adams. lie was a Federalist, and
wore the black cockade. Ido not recollect Ins speech
upon the reduction of the United States Army, though
1 have a file of tho Aurora, in which his speech ap
pears against reducing ihe army. My health will not.
enable me to answer more fitly with regard to the ex
citing scenes of that memorable period of our history,
llespectiullv. your humble servant,
” JOHN FOWLER.
Capt. llenrv Daniel.
He made a speech against disbanding 1 lie
Standing Army f John Adams, to which Mr.
Jefferson and his party were opposed and
introduced and supported measures to dis
band. He \\ as the advocate of John Quincy
Adams lor President against Gen. Jackson
and W lliatn H. Crawford in 1525, and was
on the electoral ticket in Oi.io in favor ol
Adams.
When Georgia was excited and a feeling
of indignation tired the bosom of every Troup
man against Adams, lor attempting to annul
the treaty and force one upon hie btale made
by an authority she wouid not recognise—
when Tiottp emphatically declared the ai
gument was exhausted, and we must stand to
our arms—where do you suppose this newly
vamped up, white washed republican, Gen.
Harrison, was then? By the side of his friend
Adan.s, and actually voted it, Congress for
the new trea y. That Gen. Harrison is a
tederalist and has always acted with that
party, hear the proof from Governor M‘
Duffle who knows bio political history well.
He says ‘Mr. \\ ebster never uttered a con
stitutional doctrine, and Mr. Clay never pro
posed a measure that Gen. Harrison lias not
supported or approved. In fact be will he
a loo! in ti;e hands of those two gentlemen,
anu to elect him, would be to adopt their
principles and measures.’ What says this
Southern statesman of Mr. Van Buren? He
says ‘the principles he (Mr. Van Buren) has
not only avowed, but maintained openly and
fairly, are dear to the {South, and what is
equally important they are the principles of
his party.’ This is tiie testimony of a man
conspicuous for his splendid talents, dl-ffn
guishtd as the able, ready and successful de
lender of Southern rights and institutions.
He was the open but generous politcal ene

public file with all the honors South Carolina
can give him. In tiiat retirement, away
from the excitements of party, he has exam

given testimony of their correctness, and ills
approval.
I would here ark you to reCect upon one fact, which
proves conclusively that the partv who now support
Gen. Hairison io Georgia, believed he was a Feder
alist last winter. The S’a'es parly in the le
gislature met afier Gen. Harrison had been nominat
ed by the Federalists and Abolitioni ts in Harrisburg,
and unanimously passed a resolution that lie was un
worthv the support of the States Right part’ ofGe*u
gia. If he were unwoithy then, what makes him
< worthy now? Has he changed anv of his opinions?—
Has he fought any more battle.-? Prav, what has
caused this great change to come over the spirit * f

In Ohio, ho subsequently voted fur a law which em
braced a provision somewhat similar. I wish you to
mark tile fact that sianips wi.h infamv this daring
outrage upon tile spirit of freedom and liberty. The
poor white man is i ot sold for the crime according to
this law, but because he is too poor to pay tine and
eostjj of court. I have two objections to the law for
which General Harrison voted. First, lam opposed
to putting up free white men and selling them us you
would an gio. No idea, to my mind, is more abhor
rent and more dangerous to tiie Iberty cr freemen, than
that of selling a free white nan fur a viola ion of the
law-, under the hammer of the sheriff, before his f.-
low-cittizens, tht n to be delivered over to Ills master,
from whom he dare not escape under the humiliating
punishment of thirty-nine lashes, and the tune iosi
doub.ed upon his servitude. Where must be that spi
rit of resistance to oppression and bondage which in
spired the pen of Jefferson when ho wrote the decla
ration of independence. That ardent undying love of
liberty that nerved the patriot’s arm, and led our fa
thers to battle and to victory against Great B Lain,
wiio has always believed dial l he poor should be slaves
for the nobies and rich men of the country. This act
pioves that General Harrison was the fit as ociate and
advocate of oid John Adams, of alien and seditiou law
r eiriory. The other o jtetiun to such a law is, that
if the rich man commits the same offence for which
the poor man was sold and separa'ed from his humble
home and distressed family, he pays the line, walks
out of court, and returns to society and his home.—
Here you discover the poor man’s liberty is put against
the rich man’s m ney I hold that both should si,IT. r
alike; if one is sold seil the other; if one is imprisoned
the other si odd bs. I cannot find words to express
my opposition and indignation against a law which
makes the freeman a slave to a master, even fur a sin
glo day. Unco put a man on the block, let the sh-liff
cry him, and knock him down to some bidder, before
ins fellow-citizens, and what must be the effect upon his
feelings, nay upon his character? It reduces him to an
equality vi'h oar negroes; because the law has made
him a slave and given If rn his master in hi: purchaser.
In after life, when he has served out his term cfservi
tude, lie goes into die world with his feelings depres
sed, his spirits cowed and his energies subdued, cud
he locks around but to behold the pointed finger of
scorn. God forbid that such a law should ever he pro
posed, much less passed in iny native Georgia. I
think die legislator who would so far insult your ft cl
ings by introducing such a bill, would receive the w it li
ering curses and untieing execrations of a free and in
dignant people.
What you \\ u’-l n it justify in your own citizens, l
Bin satisfied, will not be forgotten nor forgive nin the
log cabin hard cider candidate, who did appiovc uini
vote for such a law.
I have not, fellow-citizens, stated a fact w Inch is
not proved and admitted. I have addr. ssed. you, fui
lo.v-citiz~u.-s in this way, that you may ref,cct upon the
facts when you arc following the plough, at the liresid -
and in your calm and dispassionate moments. I tell
you honestly and candidly you must examine this mat
ter. Attempts are making to destroy p-muple.in a
contest for mere power and office. You must lou.-e
up and come to the rescue — come to the ballot box,
the great bulwark of freemen, against f dural priiic.-
ples, and there quell, by your support cf mop end
measures, those clamorous efforts to alarm and drive
\ ott from principle and the Constitution. At .hat ral
lying point where the friends to equal rights arc found
in the hour cf trial, 1 will meet you. Let rue the i

COIIMCS ICATED.
When, in the course of human events, ii
becomes necessary lor one freeman to express
his political opinions on any subject, vari
ant Irons the vmvs of the great body ol n o
lotto cherished It tends and associates, and to
assume for imnseti art independent rank u
tiiOtig toe freemen which compose the Re
public of these United Stales, (a rank to
which he is justly entitled hy nature and na
ture’s God,) a decent regard lor the opinion-;
of others, requires that he should slam the
causes which have led to the separation, i
was an early con Veil to the state rights doc
trines, and became on humble disciple in the
ranks of that party at a tune when we were
denounced as disorganizes and traitors to
the country, and m vindication ol those
principles I have borne tire bu.den and
heat of the day. 1 then believed, as I now
do, that a strict adherence to those princi
ples, was the only safeguard to our i.berly.
and would prove the ark of our political sal
vation. We, as a patty, prormiig .ted on.
opinions to the world. \Ye protested to uu
deisland the Constitution as it was written.
We opposed those latiludina 1 ian construc
tions of that sacied instrument which was
intended to guard the rights of all, as subver
give of justice and dangerous to the liberties
of our people. The main pillar, upon which
war founded our political creed, was the tenth
article of amendments to the Constitution,
and which is in the following words: ‘•Tne
powers not delegated to the l nifed States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it m the
States, are reserved to the States respective
ly or to the people.” An important crisis in
the history of our Government is approach
ing, when we shall he called upon to exercise
one of the most responsible privileges of free
men—the independence of our suffrages in
elections. Two candidates present ti.em
selves to fill, for the next four years, the must
important station in the gift of the American
peop'e. To the taxation of both the einJ;v;d
mds, lam opposed. Martin Van lime;; and
V iiliam Henry Harrison are children i>t
-Ishdod and cannot, according to my creed,
ssy Shibboleth. They are both nxene tnene
Tkel Uphaisen, weighed in the balances .ami
found wanting.
A portion of my political friends, disregard
ing (as it appears to me) our creed, rave
hoisted the Harrison flag, and acting as tire
self constituted IVilteena Gemote of the Stan
Rights party, assisted by a portion of our fit)- !
liticai adversaries, are requiring us, the I.tile
folks, to rally our forces and flock to tiiestau
dard. I3ul I “am one that never think by ;
•proxy. 1 cannot nor will not consent to be as
butchers meat that is sold in the shambles. :
or as clay in the hands of the potter, 1 nevt-i i
will ague to lay down my long cherished |
principles and go over to Tip, Tyler a:.J the :
Tariff. I shall take the liberty, in this and
another cases, of thinking for myself a* and act- j
ing accordingly; and, if for thisthelViendshipol'j
the party towards me falls, let it fall like Lu 1
cifer, never to rise again, i believe General
Harrison too old a man to attend to the com
plicated duties incumbent on him in presiding
over the destinies of this nation; for
if elected, his term of service ntusi
end in his seventy-third year. lam oppns- j
ed to his election, on the ground that his opin-;
ions savor too strongly of abolition. I can- j
rioi prove that he is an abolitionist I can :
only prove that he said he was a member of j
an abolition society, and called on his verier- |
able friend judge Galch. of Clermont, for a j
certificate, to prove tint f.mt. Hut one thing ;

rightful remedy lor ail unc--alion..: acts;;
or any wav it can be Used, it is a -v: .ii
idea to take the people’s r.iotvy, or tax them |
to pay lor their own property without their |
consent. Genera! Harrison assented to as ;
Governor of Indiana, an act passed by inn ;
legislature to sell, for a time, free white per- !
sons into slaveiv who were unable to pay .
lines and costs oi'snits and to inflict corporal j
punishment upon them if they deserted their j
master’s serrvtce. General Harrison voted j
in the Senate of Ohio against Mr. Eithian’s j
motion to strike out a section of similar im
port. General Harrison was in favor ol Pre
sident Jackson's proclamation and force bill.
He is the identical man who did say, General
Jackson, in issuing his proclamation against j
South Carolina, rendered a service to the i
I country of as great magnitude as his splendid j
victory at New Orleans, or words to that j
amount.
I am opposed to General Harrison on the
ground that he is friendly to the charter of a
National Bank; this, I believe, is admitted on
a ! l hands; it is in fact the theme of the Harri
son folks, so far as my kt.owie ge extends. —
’1 have before me the letter of Sherrod Wil
j liams, dated 7th of April, IS3G, in which he
I puts certain questions to the General, and
j among other things, whether or not, if elecl
j ed, he would sign and approve a bill charter
! iug a United Slates bank, but, great God, i
never saw such a going round Robin Hood’s
barn to come at one plain short question in
ail my life. Well, the General proceeds to
answer the inlet rogatories, and lie goes on
awhile telling a little about almost every tiling
but the question lie is interrogated about.—
He tells Mr. Williams he is not committed to
any cause; he admits the Bank is uneoiistitu
lional, and after writing half a column in a
newspaper, finally comes out and answers the
question (I reckon) just about as Mr. Y. .!-
in-no; knew he would; hut t: ere arose so many
pros aud ecus, ifg and ends in it, that it ap
pears to me that ’.lmre is just about as much
on one side of the fence as the other. The
General appears to me to be on the non-com
mittal plan, and if I can tightly understand
the hang of Mr. Williams’s interrogatory and
the answer therein, it appears to me the Ge
neral intends to t< te on both shoulders.
The bank is evi jenliy unconstitutional: (lie
framers ol (he Constitution said so, for they
never put a bat;!; in i>, nor any authority for
one. Politicians of all jterfies admit that
their is no authority in the instrument but by
ini plica lint; at and politicians wide y differ as to
the clause or clauses upon which the author
ity is foumded. Wi.su then is the President
to do, when it co to swe ‘.ring that he will
to the bestoi ins aoihty picset ve, protect aud
defend the C. institution. (V, hen I was a
school boy and came to a hard w id, if I was
not watered, 1 v,as very not to Sjtip t*)*
believe with Governor Troop, that it is a
mere quev lion of bank or no bank; if the brink
comes ail that is unconstitutional will foi
fosv. i have long believed that bank and an
ti-bank must be the test question, and form
the dividing line between the two great pok
tical parties in this Government. I do mat pre
tend ?.i call in question the opinions nor im
pugn the motives of any man who may diticr
with me on this question; but J do honestly
believe the thing is wrong, absolutely vvron*-,
in toto. The advocates of the bank refer us
to precedent, and that the old bank received
tiie sancton of our ab ; si politicians and best
Presidents. Admit ed. But d.~.s this prove
that the tging is right? ! contend that a long
standing precedent is n aui’torily at all, no
lens it can be made appear that the precedent
was unequivocally (bunded in right. I can
prove that near six thousso ; years ago Oaiu
slew t'.is btother Abel. Now !;-re is a pre
endert of great antiquity. But docs this
tify cmi make it right for any man to.perpe
tuate *?*!. attocious crime of inurdet? It eer
ie inly docs oof. I bdieve that incorpoiumd
companies, exclusive privileges, and bank
monopolies will prove tiie oveitbrow and
downlali of our Governmenf, and make out
children and children’s children, to the latent
posteiitv, hewers of wo, and and drawers <f
water .ill the days of their lives. It is time
to maturely consider these things. L ten no
longer to the importunities of a deceitful He
Ida/i, but lie prepared, when she shall say to
