Ho'«T. —rn — ' ' -" -" ' - -■■- —■ —; THE CONSTITUTION AMST, Published every Tuesday and Friday, IN MACINTOSH STREET, Third door from the north-west corner of Broad-Street.

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 GEORGIA, Richmond county, WHEtIEAS Mathew VV.
