CONGRESS OF THE E. STATES.
UNITED STATES BANK.
Remarks of Mr. WAYNE, of Georgia.
The resolution of Mr. Speight:
Resolved, That so much of said Message as
relates to the bank of the United States, be re
ferred to a select Committee.
And the amendment of Mr. WAYNE,
“With power to call for persons, and on the
bank or its branches or papers, and to examine
witnesses generally, in reference to the opera
tions of the bank,”
Being under consideration—
Mr. WAYNE said, though he desired not to
enter at large into the debate at this time, and
would not do so, yet gentlemen had compelled
him, by the course of their remarks, to make
some reply. It had been said, nothing was now
before the house, to make an enquiry into the
condition of the bank desirable or necessary.
Ho would refer to the President’s message, and
to the report of the Secret .ry of the Treasury—
both suggesting an examination —to ascertain if
the Bank was, or would bo in future, a safe de
pository for the public funds. Mr. W. did not say
it was not, but an enquiry into the fact might
bo very proper notwithstanding; and the Pru- 1
sident and Secretary, in suggesting it, had im
puted no suspicion of the solvency of the bank.
Eventual ability to discharge all of its obliga
tions, is not of itself enough to entitle the hank j
to the confidence of the government. Its ma
nagement, and the spirit with which it is ma
naged, in direct reference to the government, or
to those administering it, make investigation
proper. What was the executive’s complaint
against the hank? That it had interfered with
the payment of the public debt, and would post
pone the payment of five millions of it for a
year after the time fixed upon for its redemption,
by becoming actually or nominally the posses
sorsof that amount of the three percent, stock,
though the charter prohibited it from holding
such stock, and from all advantages which
might accrue from the purchase of it. True,
the hank had disavowed the ownership. But of
that sum which had been bought by Baring,
Brothers, and Co. under the agreement with
the agent of the bank at 91J, and the cost of
which had been charged to the hank, who would
derive the benefit of the difference between the
cost of it and the par value, which the govern
ment will pay ? Mr. VVyokncw this gain would
be affected by what may he the rate of exchange
between the United States and England, hut still
there would he gain, and who was to recciv* it ?
Baring, Brothers, & Co. ? No. The hank was
by agreement, charged with the cost of it, in a
separate account, on the hooks of Baring, Broth
ers, and Co., and it had agreed to pay interest
upon the amount, until the stock was redeemed.
The Bank being prohibited to deal in such stock,
it would he well to enquire, even under the pre
sent arrangement with Baring, Brothers & Co.
whether the charter, in this respect, was sub
stantially complied with. Mr. W, would not
now go into the question of the policy of the nr
rangement by the Bank, concerning the three
percents. It may eventuate in great public
benefit, as regards the commerce of thrf country
-—■‘bat if it docs, it will be no apology for the
temerity of an interference with the fixed policy
of the Government, in regard to the payment of
the National Debt; a policy, which those who
administer the Bank knew had been fixed hf - all,
who, by law, can have any agency in its pay.
meht. Nor can any apology he found for it in
the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury, of
the 19th of July last, to Mr. Biddle; for, at Phil
ndelphia, the day before, on the 18th, he em
"ployed tin agent to go to England, and had given
instructions to make an arrangement by which
the payment of the Public Debt was to he post
poned until October, 1833. Whatever solici
tude there may have .been to lessen the com
mercial distress which it was feared would be
caused by pestilence, the plan which the Bank
had in view should have been communicated to
•he Secretary of the Treasury, as it could not be
accomplished without the protracted use of the
Government funds, and by delaying the nay.
mentofthc Public Debt. The Bank should not
have coveted the exclusive merit of such an ar
rangement for the relief of commerce. It would
, “ .....
have had the praise ol originating it, and it
might well have acknowledged its situation, & it
\vould have prevented it from being completed,
without the aid of the Treasury deposits. But it
is said that the report of Mr. 'Poland makes all
enquiry unnecessary and shews that the condi
tion of the Bank is better than it has been at
any time before. Mr. W. said ho would contro.
vert both declarations—-hut he disclaimed say
ing that the Bank was not a safe de
pository of the public funds. The Bank
might be a safe, and yet an improper de
pository for them. But he would not ex
amine the report of tho agent to show that it
did not prove tho Bank to he a safe depository,
and he insisted that the instructions given to the
agent had not been complied with. The agent
was not in a situation to act them out to the com
piste intention of the Secretary. Mr. W. did
not mean that there hud been any dereliction of
l ■■■■■ lllllMlßlliniTW-MIIIiIM^AMaMM
duty on the part of the agent. His character
forbade such an insinuation. But thq agent’s
conclusion is, that tho Bank has 79 millions
■ to meet thirty.seven millions of debt. It con
. sists of gold and silver, funds in Europe, real
estate, amounts due by State Banks, and debt*
. due by individuals. Tho excess of means
, over debts is represented as forty.two mil
s lions. Now, let us see if a single item of sus
r pended debt, amounting to $7,851,281 82, us
disclosed in the triennial report of Sept. 1831—
r il the contingent fund to meet this loss, stated in
f that report, is included in the 79 millions of
c available means, or has not been actually up
. plied to the extinguishment of the suspended
r debt—will not reduce the excess of forty.two
f milliops below tho capital of the Bank, which is
. 35 millions. Is any information before us to
show that the contingent fund is not included by
, the agent in his report of available means?
Gentlemen are called upon to deny and to prove
. that it is not. May not also the amount of sus
pended debt have been increased since 1831,
. without any increase of the contingent fund ?
• Or what proof have we that the whole sum of
62 millions due by individuals is good and will
•bo ultimately collected ?—or that no per centagc
of loss upon it should be allowed? If the Bank
was called upon to s ty, if tho whole sum was
due by solvent persons, could it say so? And if
none of them are known to be insolvent, does
not prudence require that some discount should
be allowed from tho amount, for tho vicissitudes
of trade and the casualties of fortune, to those
who are not in trade? ‘ln this instance it may
he said, the report shows tho Bank’s entire in
debtedness and tho extent of its means for pay
merit. Bought to he remembered, that the first
can only be lessoned by payment, and that tho
second may be diminished by losses. Though
we have no data from which an amount of loss
can be correctly conjectured—we all know some
will occur. But further—the report rates the
real estate of all kinds owned by the Bank at 3
millions, or within two or three thousand dollars
of it, as available means—the real estate con
sists of Banking houses and lands acquired in
payment of debts—the first was stated in May
last, at their cost, to ho 1,169,000 dollars.
Now, ho one supposes, that some could ho got
for them. They are buildings for an exclusive
purpose, inconvertible to other uses, hut by al
[ terations requiring heavy expenditures ; and
they were built at times when labor and materi
als tvere dear, and whfn the Bank gave
more lor real estate than it will now bring.—
: From this item of available means the Bank
will fee satisfied, if it does not finally lose some
three or four hundred thousand dollars. Mr. W.
knew that there had been a reserved fund of 120
I thousand dollars per annum to meet the cost of
the hanking houses ; hut does it appear from the
report of tho agent, that nil that accumulation,
and such ns may have been added since l«3),
is not included in tho statement of available'
means? This item, too, of real ('.slate, may bo
subject to another discount. Wo now have iI
staled at its full value ; hut accruing taxes, ex
ponses of sale, and the time it will take to dis
pose ofit, will reduce the sum which it will bring,
unless the rise of property, where it is silualed,
has been progressive, or should suddenly occur.
That Shell is not the fact, however, may ho in
ferred from the Rank having continued to hold,
more Ilian eleven years, its real estate in Cm
cinnati or Ohio, and which, at cost, was, in a pre
vious statement of the Bank, put down at 1,213,-
000 dollars: this in tho most flourishing town
and th most prosperous State in the Union.
W ill any gentleman here, and particularly some
one of them from Ohio, tell us if the landed
estate of tin 1 Rank in Ohio is worth iqore 'npxy
than it was in 1820, when tho BiJhk hewpp
owner of it ? Now, Sir, though the argumC'afflPit
used may not show that the Bank has less avail,
able means than is stated by Mr. Tolnrtd, it is
strong enough to prevent his report from being
conclusive against enquiry ; and this is the point,
Mr. W. said, between himself and gentlemen
who were against enquiry. Nor will it, tir can
it ho denied, that the approximation of indebted
ness to means is not too close ; that it would] be
well to have an examination; to remove all doubt.
It matters not how tho doubt has been raised ; it
exists in the public mind; & as the Bank is to he
the depository of millions of accruing revenue, it
should he dispelled, if it cari he done by further
enquiry. It must not only be safe, hut it must
he thought safe, by a full developemcnt of its
management. Os this we havenothing in detail,
as relates to the great national interests which
the Bank was intended to aid and to advance.
The President, therefore, and the Secretary, did
well in suggesting enquiry, and they are not
answerable for the follies of those who, from the
fears of loss, or from party resentments, have
converted their suggestions, by both of the Bank’s
insolvency. Neither have said so. Mr. W.
said, his object had been, so far, to make out a
case fit for enquiry—not in any Way to give il as
his opinion that the Bank was insolvent. Mr. VV,
i made no accusation of any kind againsttheßank,
nor would he express any opinion of the ultimate
, soundness of it on account of its 30 millions of
. discounts in the West and Southwest. Its deb
■ tors there might he perfectly good or responsi
ble, without constituting any present ability on
i the Bank to pay what it owed. Such large dis.
; .counts in one quarter of the Union might turn
■ out. to ho advantageous to the stockholders arid
. to the Government, so far ns a dividend was con.
1 corned. But such anticipations, however well
. founded,did not gainsay enquiry—font might
I interfere with other and more important interests
1 which the Bank has undertaken to sustain and
t discharge, for the Government and the country.
, As, for instance, whether those discounts hud
t not disabled the Bank from being in a condition
1 to carry on its ordinary operations on the first
. of July last, without the Government deposites.
t was its ability to do so on the first of Octohei ?
. and what will ho its condition on the first of Janu
. ary, if Congress should insist upon tho upplica
. tion of the Government deposites fotho payment
; of the 3 per cents, of which tho Bank lias the
. control, or upon withdrawing tho deposites—if
. the Bank shall not allow them to he redeemed ?
t As to the Bank being in a better condition
t now than it ever had been, as Mr. W. under
e stood the gentleman from Massachusetts [Mr.
t Dearborn,] and others, to say, he must differ
. with them. This, Mr. W. knew, that it had in
1 effect to borrow five millions since July last;
,f and this it would have been obliged to do without
r the apprehensions caused by the cholera. When
! nil fears of pestilence had passed, the Bank con
i tinned to owe the loan. Mr VV. supposed it
■ would do so ns long as it could derive a hotter
1 interest from its customers upon the use of the
i deposites which were intended to pay the tm
t tionnl debt, than it paid upon the loan. This
■ is the secret of the whole arrangement in regard
to the three percents. Because the Bank had
i now eight millions of discounts less than it had
six months since, gentlemen said it was in a bet
ter condition, and a parade of this was to be made
for present effect. Mr. W. would not say it
was in a worse condition, or that it was had;
hut he would prove that there had been no change
in that time, which made its condition now a
subject of boasting. In May last the total n
mount of discotmts was seventy millions. The
circulation of the Bank, at the same time, was
twenty-two millions. It owed a debt than of
two millions in Europe. Its circulation now is
eighteen millions. Its discounts 62 millions.
Four millions of its reduced discounts have been
applied to meet the return of so much of its cir
culation. Two millions to its debts in Europe.
Onemillion to pay deposites Which were then
twenty millions, and arc now nineteen. Thus
seven of the eight millions of reduced discounts
are accounted for, and a million only is left to
sustain the remark of the Bank being in a much
better condition now than it ever had been.
The truth is, the Bank stands now as it did then,
with this addition to its obligations, that it is pay.
ing to Baring, Brothers, & Co. an interest upon
five millions, instead upon a debt of two ; which
Mr. VV. I 'resumed it had to pay, before it could
negotiate t ie loan of five, or make the arrange,
ments for withholding so much of the three per
cents.
Gentleman remonstrated against enquiry, and
said it would agitate the public mind, and spread
suspicions injurious to the Bank, and to the com
mercc of the country. That the public mind had
already been agitated by intimations from the
highest source, which had been productive of
loss ,to the stockholders. It is true, Mr.
W. said, that suggestions had been made by
persons from whom the public would believe —
they never would have come, unless they could
be sustained by facts. To stop enquiry would
not remove the impression. As to loss to the
stockholders, Mr. W. remarked, those only
could have been losers who were speculators in
stocks, though they had rights which were not
to ho harmed by undue menus—they had none
such at this lime tocomplairi 61-—and their gains
or losses were never a subject of sympathy, as
they were made by a never ceasing rivalry of
human Sagacity carried to the utmost verge of
the boundaries of moral propriety. The aged,
the widow and the orphan, and the man of mod
erate desires, still continue to hold their slock.
It was worth intrinsically what it was before a
ny suggestion of enquiry had been mado—and
if the Bank shall he well administered, it will re
gain all between its present market price and
what it has been, except so much of artificial
value as il may have acquired from hopes of the
holders of it—that it would boa permament
stock. To make it so, the government was never
committed. As to Committee to which this on.
quirv was to he referred, Mr. VV. felt ho soli
ciludc. He should have confidence in any com
mitleelho House should appoint, lie was very
willing the investigation should he confided to
the Committee of Ways and Means. He was
confident it would he fairly and honorably con
ducted. Besides, there was no committee of
that House which would dare to postpone ac
tion on the subject without the very host rea.
sons. It was objected that there was not time
iktmjc ins residue of this session, to complete
investigation. Admitting the fact to
he so, il furnished no argument against the ap
pointment of a committee : because such com.
rnittee might put matters in train by appointing
agents who whould examine into the affairs of
tho several Branches of the Bank, and whose
reports would present to tho next Congress one
general, unbroken view of the whole condition
of the institution throughout the country. If
Mr. VV. had any agency in the affair, he should
be in favor of commissioning a number of a
gents, who would examine on the same day,
and report simutanouusly.
Mr. VV.observed, in conclusion, that he felt ho
had been forced to do, although not more than
he ought, under the circumstances, yet much
more than he had wished so do. llc had touch
ed only the prominent points ; the exposition
might he much further extended, hut he trusted
that he had done enough to show that he had
.jot brought forward the measure he proposed
Without duo consideration.
Extract from Peter Simple, on the trials of a
Midshipman,
“ First and foremost you must know that 1 aln
descended from the great O’Brien Borru, who
was a king in his time as lli^great Fingul was
before him. Os course you’ve heard of Fingal.”
“ I can’t say that 1 ever did,” replied I.
“ Never heard of Firigal!—murder! Where
must you have been all yoi.tr life! Well, then,to
give you some notion of Fingal, 1 will tell you
how Fingal bothered Hie great Scotch giant.
Fingal, you must know, was a giant himself,
and no fool of a one, and any one that affronted
him was as sure of a bating, us I am to keep the
middle watch to-night, liut there was a giant
in Scotland ns tall as the main mast, more Or
less, as we say when we an’t quite sure, as it
■ saves telling more lies than there’s occasion foK
1 Well, this Scotch giant heard of Fingal, and
how he had beaten every body, and he said,
“ Who is this Fingal ? BV Jasus,” says he in
I Scotch, “ I’ll just walk over and see what he’s
1 madeof.” So he walked nefossthe Irish cllithnel,
and landed within half a mile of Belfast, whether
he was but out of his depth or not I can’t tell,
1 although I suspect he was not dry footed. When
• Fingal heard that this great chap was coming
over, he was in a devil of a fright, for they told
■ him that the Scotchman was taller by a few feet
; or so. Giants you know measure by feet, and
don’t bother themselves about tho incites, as we
■ little devils are obliged to do. So Fingal kept a
1 sharp look out for the Scotchman, and gne fine
• morning there he was sure enough coming up
■ the hill to Fingid’s house. If Fingal was afraid
r before, ho had more reason to be afraid when he
1 saw the fellow, for he looked for all tho world
i like a monument upon a voyage of discovery,
• So Fingal rrn into hh house, and «rallc-l his wife '
i Slmyu, ‘My vounion,’says he, ‘be quick now,
■ there’s that big bully of a Scotchman coming up
the hill. Kiver me up With blankets, and if he
■ asks who is in bed, tell him it’s thechild,’ So
Fingnllaid down on the bed, and his wife had
just conic to cover him up, when in comes the
Scotchman, and though lie stooped low, he
broke his head against the portal. “ Where’s
that baste I'ingal?” sayslte, rubhinghisforehead:
“show him to me, that I may give him a bating.”
“U iiist, whist!” cries Shaya, “if you'll wake the
baby, and then hint that you talk of bating, will
be the death of yob, if ho comes in.” “Is that
the baby?” cried the Scotchman with surprise,
looking at the great carcase mufllcd up in blank,
ets. “Sure it is,” replied Shaya, “ and Fingal’s
baby too ; so don’t you wake him, or Fingal will
twist your neck in a minute.” “ By the cross of
St. Andrew,” replied the giant, “ then it is time
for me to he off; for ifthat’s bis baby, I’ll be but
a mouthful for the fellow himself. Good morn,
ingtoye.” So the Scotch giant ran out of the
house, and never stopped to eat or drink until
ho got back to his own hills, forby ho was nearly
drowned in having mistaken his passage across
the channel in his great hurry.
i lion Fingal got up and laughed, as well ho
might, at his own ‘ cuteness ;’and so ends the
story about Fingal. i

ON presenting to the people this prospectus* the Edi.
tor deems it superfluous to say one word with re.
gard to the utility of newspapers. There are, however,
puriicufarly at this tiino, othet duties time may not he
avoided so easily. In entering the political arena, we
may not conceal our sentiments ; for we conceive it our
duty, to. jmr friends and opponents, friendly to avow
them. '1 ne State Rights’ Doci.mios as contended lor
l»y the beat expounders of the Constitution are those
wo avow ; we hold that each slate has reserved to her
■ self, all and every right, not surrendered up und enuuu
► crated m the Constitution of the United States ; Unit
' they may, nay should, and have reserved for the very
purpose, those rights, that whenever occasion requires,
• they may be exercised ; but the stales should he cure
ful, in the exercise of what are called mid supposed tp
. he reserved rights, those surrendered up are not viola
ted i for they are no more the rights of the states than if
(hey had never been exercised by thorn. The General
Government too, must move within its legitimate sphere,
carefully observing what powers it may excrcisC—what
arc reserved to toe respective sovereignties and what
’ have not been granted. While here, we remark that
’ we are uncompromising Union men, and feel and consider
ourselves identified wi’.h all those that now rally under
’ the standard of the twenty.lour slates, whatever minor
distinctions may, heretofore, have separated us.
As respects the parties in Georgia, too, wo have a
word to say.—We have acted with perfect satisfaction
to ourselves, with the; Republican party. The spirit
’ of that party will be carried into our labours ; hut wo
wish it understood that we have not, and cannot
now consent, to advance o.ur party views and pros
poets by contending against those of our opponents ;
we offer to 0.. r opponents the free use of our columns,
it they arc properly used.
It is useless to say any thing of the interesting conn
try in which the Intelligencer will bo located—the
farmer is invited there by its fertile lands—the lin
) healthy, by its Waters and air—the chymist by tile
I valuable treasure found in its bosom.
