Owiug to the strong public anxiety to got the substance of the Debate on the re ception of the report of the Bank Coin 111,ttee, our Reporter prepared and we published a hasty report of it. We now insert the speech of Mr. M’Duiiie, in that Debate, iu a more deliberately revised forim REMARKS OF MR. M’Dl FFIE Mr. M’Duffie said he felt bound to make one or tivo remarks in explanation of the doctimes of the report, before tin ques tion was taken. In justification oi tins course lie would remark, that this tmcsli gatiou of the Committee extended over u great deal of ground, and touched upon a great variety of topics, some of them high ly important. The report, said he, is voluminous, and the Committee did not finally agree upon the form ift which it should he presented until this morning. The minority of the Committee has in consequence had no opportunity of pre senting their views in relation to some interesting questions adverted to and dis cussed in tins document. 1 shall be very brief, however, in the remarks I propose to make, and will barely state distinctly the opinions of the minority, on the points in which it dissents from the majority.^— The attention of the Committee, it would he recollected, hud been directed to a gi'eat many specifications of abuse, by the gentleman from eorgia, (Mr. Clayton) when he first proposed this inquiry. Ma ny of these laid turned out to be trivial, on examination, and had been permitted to pass a Wav without notice. The Com mittee have selected in the report those only, which, in the opinion of the majori ty, deserved the particular attention ol Congress. As to the charges of taking usurious interest, and of using branch drafts, t have nothing to remark, since they have been fully discussed heretofore, 1 and Since no new disclosures have been obtained iu relation to them. Some new questions 111 relation to the violation of the charter of the Rank are raised in the report, which I feel bound to notice. Some general calls had been made for in formation from the Bank, which were not answered before I left Philadelphia. No explanations were asked from the Presi dent, and the facts were eommumeaied without comment. These facts, thus tin- i explained the majority of the committee have made the subject of speculative con jecture, and have intimated doubts w fie til er some of the practices disclo- and are not I against the spirit of the chart, 1. 111 the j absence of the explanations, w inch would ! no doubt haVl) been satisfactory, if it hail 1 been intimated that these practices w ere deemed irregular by the committee, 1 present such views as now accur to nte. The report refers, among others, to the practice of buying and selling coin. In relation to this practice the President did give an explanation, s<J f.tr as it regarded foreign coin. The report seems to imply i that such dealing is not authorized hy the I Charter. By the charter, the Rank is ex- ; pressly authorized to deal in bullion The opinion of eminent counsel was ob tained hv the bank 011 tins question; and it was, that forign coin was included un der the term “bullion.” That, inded, is the usual form in which bullion is receiv ed in this country. Upon this mere legal question, somewhat technical in its char acter, 1 will make no filrthar remark. A portion of the committee seem to enter tain the opinion that the Rank has been 111 the habit of dealing in American coin, without any authority froth the charter. I believe they are mistaken in this matter in point of fact.—The Hank was called upon to state vvliat amount of coin it had purchased and sold, and in presenting the tabular statement, there is a column stating the amount of American gold bought and sold by the Rank; without stating where purchased or where sold. I have no doubt, though we obtained no explanation from the Rank, that this is an ordinary and unavoidable transaction, and that it can, with no propriety of lan guage, be denominated a dealing in A nierican coin. Under the tender laws of the U. States, the legal value of gold aiid silver does uGt correspond with the in trinsic value. By these laws an ounce of gold is estimated to be worth only fifteen ounces of Silver, whereas the real mark et value of gold is sixteen times as great as that of silver. Now, no one will dispute the right of the Rank to receive its debts ir. American gold, and much le.fts its right, and indeed its obligation, to allow for this gold what it is really worth. Iu hke manner, no one can dispute the right of the Rank to pay its debts in American Gold, nor its consequent right of receiving for this gold what it is really worth. This surely can not he denominated a dealing in coin, any further than unavoidably results from ha ving pecuniary transactions, an using money. Tim very object for winch the R'ank was created, was to deal in money, •and it is a strange idea, that no such pow icr exist , because it is not expressly given in the charter. The power to deal in hull ion was given expressly, only because lit was not implied iu the very nature of the transaction* of a money-dealing insti tution. Another topic has been, v» ry un expectedly to me, introduced into the r»> voii. ir.%* port A doubt seems to be entertained By the majority of die Committee, as to the right ol the Rank to sell the Govern* incut stock, for which ft st • scribed, uoiler the express authority of Congress. No thing can be more self-evident, in my judgment, than the right of the Ranh to sell the stock w inch ft holds by the au thority of law. The act which authori zed the Rank to siilim nlie for this stock necessarily conveyed the right to sell it; as much as the authority to hold laid conveys the right !o sell ft. It is essen tially involved iu the elementary notion oi property. line cannot be said to have a property ui that w hich he cannot use as he pleases, m ail inodes not prohibited by law. To deny the right of the Rank to sell its stock, would be to det.y it the right 01 making use of its own property. —The principal value of government stock, as a bank imcetirient, consists in its prompt convertibility into money; and in this view it is undoubtedly one of the most sate and beneficial investments a Bank can make. It furnishes u resource to meet great enu rgencies iu thfe money market, which 1 o other investment can furnish. The condition ot the con t <r cial community, and the Bunks, v oeld have been utterly disastrous iti lc'2s, if tin Rank had not sold the government stocks for which it subscribed in lfi-J-1 Every one must remember tin- memorable panic of produced by probably one of the greatest revulsions in commerce the world has ever witnessed. It limy now he adverted to, as furnishing the most triuhiphunt proof of the utility of the Rank ol the United States, and of the admirable state of soundness aiid securi ty to which it has brought the banking system of this country. At thru period it s well known the most of the country hanks in England failed, and the Bank of England itself, an institution which Lao stood unmoved for more than a century, amidst political revolutions and commer cial revulsions, was on the Very blink of failure. One of the most philosophical of the English writers on subjects ot tins sort, states that it was a providential cir cumstance alone that saved that Rank from stopping payment. There can b« iso higher eulogtum pronounced on thtt management of the bank of the U. States, than to state the fact, that during this pe riod of general consternation and disaster in the commercial world, not a single Bank in the United States failed that had been considered solvent. It was by the sale of these government stocks, of which a portion of the committee have thought proper to complain, and this alone, that the Bank of the United States was ena i hied to throw some ten or fifteen millions | of capital into the active operations of the i Batik, in the form of discounts, and thus save the Banks from failure, and the commercial community from general bankruptcy and rum. Anti here I will advert to a circum stance width deserves to be recorded, as an illustration of the judicious aditjuti: na tion of the Bank. The Chairman . ' e Select Committee ashed the President o state the circumstaces of a secret visit made by him to New-York io Jb2s, and whether it was not the object ol that vrsit to obtain some aid for tin Bank to sate it from failure; This question has not yet been loimally answered by the Tresident, lie stated that he visited IV. York on the occasion referred to not lor the purpose of obtaining aid, but of granting il. r l ho distress of the country had reached a cri sis, and the panic was so great that a sin gle indication of fear, on the part of the Bank, would probably have produced a scene of general distress and bankruptcy. If the Bank had attempted to save itself froiii danger, by acojd and selfish policy, and commenced curtailingjits discounts, no one can calculate the consequences. But the President pursued the very oppo site policy, and the result proved that, in periods of great danger, true moral cour age is the best source of security. Instead of obeying the instinct of fear, and order ing a curtailment of discounts, the Presi dent acted upon the higher impulse, and directed the branch at New York to ex tend its discounts freely, and relieve the community. This was promptly done, and as soon as it was ascertained, pi.biic confidence was restored, and the panic ceased. On such occasions as these, the smallest circumstances often produces the most imporunt results; and 1 have not a doubt but that this hold and decissive, but judicious proceeding, on the part of Mr. Biddle, saved the country from the great? est disasters. If the Bank had pursued an opposite course; if regarding its own security merely, it had held on to its gov ernment stock, and curtailed its dis counts, it would have deserved the uni versal execration of the country. The committee inquired concerning donations to road companies, and the op inion is expressed in the report, that such donations were made without any author ity in the charter. On the naked ques tion of making gratuitous donations, I should not hesitate to say that the Direc tors would commit a great breach upon the rights of the stockholders, if trey made any such donations. But the Bonk ow us a very large reul estate, amounting to $ I ,’4)0,000, in the immediate vicinity of certain Internal Improvements in Ohm. *o which *wo -mull contributions, amounting to #),OUB
