F,irm»r. VVoIi, S.|utre, your oaitk lias resumed
so ■ uc pay no i s, I understand.
Merchant. Yes, we have resumed.
F. Now, didn’t you tell me an I all mv neigh
bors who came to your store to buy g .<» is. that
the Stale banks never coni ! or would resume,
until Congress es’ahltshe 1 a liana ot the United
Sta’cs to n gnUto them ?
M Y is, 1 told von so.
F. Trie actual resu option of the State ha iks,
without the establishment of a lit >k otliie Uoi
ted Sia'cs proves 1 hat you were niislaitcii in that
opinion does it not ?
At. f suppose it does.
F. 1 hone, then, you will give up that argu
ment in favor of a National Bank.
M. I don’t knovv.
F. And von toi l me yon had to give ten per
cent to gel*New York "funds to pay for goo s
a i<l th i’ tilings would not be better on l it a Bank
of the United Stales was estabii-'a-d u regulate
dotnest c exchanges, did you not?
At. Yes 1 did.
F. How nincli do you liavc to give ior New
York funds now !
M. One per cent-
F. So.dom -site exchanges are regulated with
out a Bulk ot the Uuileo ■‘Stales, are they uoi !
M. They have come down.
F. Tnere got'S another ot your great argn.
ineiils in favor <it a National Bank, lil I you
not tell us liial commerce was dead, and woul-i
never revive without a National Bank ?
M. Yes I did.
F. l.s not co.iiniurcc fast reviving, and becom
ing ve y active 1
M. Yes.
F, Sv, tliere goe* another oi your arguments
in favor of sued) a bank.
Did you not tell n.s that the price of produce
was corning down, and tli.il we should soon get
ii .thing for onr wheat, corn, and cattle, unless a
li in k of i he United States vyrr uatibuslioii ?
M. I suppose I did.
F. Are not wheal, corn, and ealllo higher
than ever?
M. Yes, higher than I have known them for
many years.
F. So, thorn goes ano'her of your arguments
in favor of a N aitonal Bank.
Did von not tell us that a vast number of la
boring people were out ot employment, and nu
- ver would gel any thing to do until a Bank of
the United Stales was established?
M. Y ;is, such was my opinion..
F, Are they not ail now employed that choose
to be. ami at high wages too ?
M. Yes, I believe it is so.
F. So, there goes another argument in favor
of a National Bank.
Did you not tell ns that the Government could
never got along without a Bank ol the United
Stales ?
AI. Y-s, I told you so.
F. Well, has it no! got along without such a
bank every sin -e 1833; an.l has it not got along
without the h< of any bank since May 1838;
and do not Uie Treasury and the Post Office
Departments collect and disburse millions of
dollars a year, without unusual diflieul'V or
trouble ?
At. They *ay so.
F. Well, there goes another of your great ar
guments in favor of a National Bank.
Now, 1 should like to know, S jnirc, what ar
guments yon have lelt in tavor ol a Bank ot
the United States.
At. We want a gc.eral cu rency to aecommo.
daie travellers. I‘ von start on a journey with
notes of the Stale Banks, yon can scarcely go a
hundred miles until yon gel beyond the circle of
their circulation, and they wont pass. The
notes of the Bunt of the United Slates were as
go > I as silver every where,
b F. Is not gold a« good every where as I lie
notes of a Bank of die United States can be?
At. 1 suppose it is.
F. More, then, is “a general currency to ac
commodate travellers.” without a Bank of the
United Sla'cs; is there not ?
At. But gold cannot be had every where in
sufficient <jlantilies.
F. Yo.i must admit, however, that the quan
tity of gold coins in the country is constantly
increasing, and that they are steadily diffusing
themselves among the banks and the people.—
' 'here is scarcely a bank which lias not more
or less of them. I understand your bank
lias a considerable quantity of gold, lias it
not ?
At. Yes; we have a hundred thousand dollars
or more, but we do not pay it out.
F. Don’t V’ou pay it out to persons who are
.roing on journeys, and want it to pay tlicir ex
penses?
M. N >; it is more convenient to keep than
silver. B isides, we d » u it mean to he instrumen
tal in obviating any of the inconveniences the
peo >le feci from the want of a National Bmk.
F. Indeed! >, although yon enjoy special
privileges, upon cousi.lera'ion that yon will ac
commodate the people, you w'll not aceoiuiuoJae
them unless they surrender their independence,
adopt your opinions, and follow the policy you
dictate I
I’ll tell yon what, Squire, there is away to
matte you shell out your gold, whether you will
or not.
AI. Indeed ! F should like to sec you try it.
F. We can do it hy making runs on you, un
til you become aceo.nmodaiing.
AI. That would he monstrous!
F. How monstrous?
M. There is not gold enough in the country
to supply the banks and meet the waive of the
people.
mmam a
i'’. Perhaps there is not ncto gold enough in the
country; hut there soon will ue. Oir ?v)uiiicrn
gold (nines supply a million or two everv year,
and almost all of the many millions ot’ dollars
brought into the country within the last few
years, is in gold. You cannot deny that the quan
tity of gold in the country his greatly increased
sin.-c the passage of the gold hill.
M. That cannot be denied. Formerly, we
never saw a gold piece; now we see such pieces
almo't every day; but siil! there is not enough
to make gold the only legal tender.
F. I a n to! J that gold is the only legal tender
for considerable sums in France and E igiaud.
and in most E iropcan countries, an.) I have no
doubt it would have been belter for the people
if it ha 1 been m here; but that is not what I am
-ontendiug for. All I insist on is, that if the
hanks will not afford the people all reas rouble
accommodations in this respect, the people may
in ike them do it, by concert among themselves.
The banks, if (hey will, may render any change
unnecessary; but if they force an inconvenience
on the people, an 1 use that inconvenience as an
argument in favor of a National Bank, the peo
ple have a right to remove tile inconvenience by
tlie more simple and constitutional pro-oss of
furring these privileged institutions to shell out .
all their specie—gold and silver.
M. I have no dou >t that our hank will pay
gold whenever any of oiy citizens may want it
to uav travelling expenses.
F. Very well; then our citizens can get as
good a general currency to travel upon as the
notes of a Bank of the United B.ales. Can they
no ?
M. Yes—no doubt of it.
F. Then, there goes anotb -r of your argu
ments in favor of a National Bank; and if all
the oi lier State banks will not be equally just
and liberal, the people have only to make litem
so by law; for the people are the Government in
this coun’ry.
M. Well, but you cannot as safely send a gold
coin in a letter as a bank note, and it would be
.1 great, convenience if there were a bank tur
uts'iiiiir a weneral currency tor remittau ;e,
F. lido you s tid bamt notes of any sort by
tetter to New York to pay for your goods ; or
w ml 1 yoa do it if there was a general paper
ou r mic\ ?
ilf. N ; that was the old way of doing busi
ness; (ml since our bank lias commenced d aling
in lome-nic exchange, I find it more safe and
convenient to buy of ihcm a bill of exchange on
ihe bank they do business with in New York,
i’iie postage i« 1 -ss, and I avoid all risk.
F. .So your State bank furnishes you a kind
of paper for remittance which you prefer to
Unfed Stales Bank no cs?
M. Wtiy, ye.-u it is more convenient, and the
risk is less.
F. And for that yon are Willing to pay the
ditfere ce of exchange?
M. Yes, certainly.
F■ Well, mere goes your last argument in
favor of a National Bank. What istbryiur in
terest is for everv man’s interest. It is every
ma i’s inleres- to go to a bank "t banker and buy
a oi!l of exchange, when he has noney to remit,
rather than enclose hank notes, unless the sum
oe small and the distance short, when tin notes
of Slate banks answer the purpose as well as
any. And are there not Isa places now where
lulls of exchange can be had, to one as this bu
siness -as formerly managed ?
M. I suppose there arc. Befo-e the Jop<vdtcs
were removed in 1833, very few of the S ale
Hanks dealt in exchange, and we all had to go
t >lne branches of Ihe United Stales Bank ; but
as ertha! event, most of the State banks entered i
into the business, and exchange coul i be ha i in
ton places for one. Tuc business was mostly
oruken up t>v the suspension of payment by the
banks; but they arc all going into it again.
F. Cannot your bank furnish exchange as
low as the United Stiles Branch Bank lid?
M Yes, lower, and make money by it. But
the Branch di 1 not furnish it as low as they
might have done.
F. indeed! Then, in consequence of thei
mononolv. they male you pay more than they
ought to have done.
M. I think so,
F. And yon are in favor of restoring this mo
nopoly which taxed you unreasonably to make
an extravagant dividend for its stockholders !
M, But I put higher prices upon my goods
to make it up.
F. Ju«l so—lt ali comes out o' tits labor and
sweat of the farmer ai list. You sold your
goods to us at higher prices, and made us nay
the extravagant rale of exchange which the Uni
ted S' ales Bank look of you.. If this he not an
argument why i/ou should be opposed in a Na
liunal Rank, it is an excellent one why toe should.
M. To tell you tho truth, I care less about a
Bank of the United States than I did, beeau-e 1
sec how wo can gel along very well without it;
but I am opposed to your Sub-Treasury plans.
F. 1 am glad to hear vou are gelling to care
little about a National Bank. I hope that upon
a little more experience, which is the safest
teacher, you will not to be so much opposed to
the Sub-Treasury, as you call it. Bit 1 have
no time to argue further to-day. Exit.
M. (solus.) The Sub-Treasury—l shouldn’t
c ire a fig anoul it, did I not want to mak»
money as a hank stockholder, by lending out the
public funds on interest; and make money as a
merchant or speculator, by borrowing them oc
casionally when I can gams.
[From ihe irtm- .j
PUBLIC REVENUE.
To Mr. Cal t oin we are indebted for one of
the s'rongest arguments in favor of the estab
lishment °of an Independent Treasury. We
give the credit where it is due. The argument to
which we allu 1c is, that the ad ipiiou of this
great reform will interest all classes of the corn
muni'v against the accumulation of an exces
sive icvenue. Hitherto a large and most influ.
enlial portion of the people looked with a grate
ful eye upon the public tax-gatherer, because the
revenue furnished the means of commercial and
speculative enterprise. Puis ot itself was a
great defect in the late sys em, for it diminis.icd
the people’s jealousy of the fiscal action oj the
Government, a feeling which is one of the strong
est safeguards of the public liberty. The people
in ci'ies. the merchants, the dealers in stocks,
the speculators, comparatively a small portion of
the community, hut by far the most active and
influential, had co ne 'o regard the public treasu
ry as their private capital. They, of coarse,
smiled upon every proje it calculated to increase
that fu id which was the basis and pabulum of
i their operations. This was a dangerous state of
things, and could not bo put an end to 100 soon.
The effect of the Independent Treasury is the
reverse. That which is drawn from the people
by ihe G overnment is kept until it is -serf. The
balance in the Treasury, in ordinary times, and
with a moderate revenue, will he too small to oc
casion an v inconvenience. But lot specula'ioc a.
gam spread its wings,and the rage fur wild a Ivcn
i turo sicia upon the com nunity v and the money
pouring rapidly iato the Treasury, retained there
until user), will soon begin to make itself felt,
and become an object of jealousy and dislike to
the public eye. This is the very feeling whi'd)
is the strongest guaranty of our safety. The
people arc never secure as loug as they gaze
with satisfaction tr on the spectacle of an over
gorged and overflowing Treasury.

the coolest breezes from the Gulf—the beauty of
the Bay and the neighboring islands and rivers,
