13 h September, 1838. £
To Messrs. E. A. Wnillcn, Thomas .Morris, T. :
F. Cooper, R obeli Mitchell, and A. Dean,
Coimnittec of Franklin ; and Messrs. Simp- |
son Fouche, J. H. B. Shackleford, A. G.
•Stephens, and others of Taliaferro County.
Gentlemen —l have received your communi- :
cation covering a resolution adopted at a meet
ing of the Citizens of Franklin County, calling
for my “opinions relative to the Constitutionali
ty and expediency of a Unit ’d Stales Bank,” |
and requesting that I “make known my choice j
for the next P.esident, between Van Buren,
Clay, Webster and Harrison.” I also obs rvc
in the Recorder, received by the last mail, a call f
in ide by a number of most respectable citizens |
of Taliaferro County on the Candidates for Con- |
gross, for their views on “the great ques ions of
divorcing tlie Government from all connection
with the Banks—the establishment of a Nation- j
al Bank,” &. •. and in regard to the “re-orgaiiiZa
tiun of the Pet Bank scheme.”
Having been so unfortunante as to receive
these interrogatories al so late an hour, I beg
leave to reply to all of them in this communica
tion, which I a. \ admonished by the near an
proach of the first Monday in October, to make
as brief as is compatible with a proper respect j
for the sources fro n whence they emanate.
I have ever been opposed to a National Bank
and firmly of opinion that Congress lias no pow
er under the Constitution, to incorporate one. I
It is well known that the Convention which j
framed the Constitution rejected a direct pro- j
position to grant the power, and this ought to j
be conclusive evidence ilia! it cannot rightfully j
be exorcised to carry into effect any ot the ex
press grants of power in that instrument.
It is my opinion that the two Banks of the
United .Stales which have existed ibrty years J
since 1791—have been the great instruments \
which have controlled Southern commerce and
directed it through Northern Channels, to the
incalculable injury of tne mien sis and prosperi
ty of the South. I am therefore unalterably
opposed—on grounds of expediency —to the cs.
tablishment of such an institution. A statement
of some facts may be proper to sustain this
opinion, in 1791, the first Bank of the United
Stales was chartered with a Capital of $lO,- ,
0 ) ),099. The mother Bank was I cated in ,
Philadelphia, wi h a Capital of $1,700,009. A
Branch in New York with a Capi al of $1,800,-
Uo9—one in Boston, Capital $700,000. ’The
giving to those three Cities $7,200,000. of the
Capital authorized by the Charter; and distri- '
huting tlie balance $2,800,000, to ail the slave
holding or staple growing States, as follows : —to
Baltimore $000,000; Nor.oik s3oo,ooo;Charles
loti $000,000; Savannah $300,000; New
Orleans $300,000, and $200,000 to the District
of Columbia. T icse Blanches were governed
by the Mother Bank, and enabled it, with its
large branches in New York, and Boston, to '
control the commerce of the South. There ap- |
pears no good reason why this unequal, and uu- j
j n>t distribution of the capital of the Bank should
ha . 0 been made. In 1790—0 ie year previous
to the act of incorporation—the population ot
Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts—
w tero near three fourths of the capital was pla
ced, amo mted to but, 1,153,210, and the popula
tion of Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina and
Georgia, where less than one fourth of the capital
was employed, amounted to 1,409,6 >3. Nor
does it appear from the average exports of 1791
and ’92, of the staple States and the Northern
Stales, that this inequality in the distribution of
the favors and patronage of the Government
can he justified. The average exports for the
years above named, from the staple States, was
$9 333,750, ami from the others $10,516,819.
By deducting the amount of Foreign articles ex
posed from the Northern cities, we find their
exports of domestic produce do not much ex
ceed those of the Staple States. Thus we per
ceive that the latter with an export trade almost
if not quite equal to the others, received but
about one fourth of the capital of the Bank.—
And this is by no means the extent of the dis
parity. The Bank was made the Depository
of t he Revenues of the Government, which from
1791 to ’99 nay be set down at an average of
about $6,001),Ud0, exclusive of loans and Trea
sury notes, and from 1800 to 1811 inclusive, to
about $12,0 0,000 pc: annum, mostly collected
and d.sbursed al the North. Thus giving the
Bank an active capital for the first eight years
offs existence, of about $l4 090,000 in the
Northern e tic.; more Ilian six times as large as
that employed in the staple Stales, a id of about
$2 1,000,009 du ing die last twelve years of its
action, or nine limes more than was used in cities
of tlie South. I speak in round uum •-. rs. The
no es were made equal to specie as far as the iis.
cal action ot the Government was conccined, by
being made receivable in payment of the puolic
dues.
‘The exports of domestic produce, jnoslh ot
sou hem growth, increased from $18,500,000ju
1791, when the Bank was chartered, to $15,-
294 043 in 1811, when the charter expired. Tne
immense capital it had wielded for twenty years
during which time there was but a compara
tively small amount of Bank Capital in toe sta
ple States, and that controlled and limited in its
action by ibis national institution—had enaoled
it to extend its loans and discounts to the capi
talists and merchants of the northern cities who
became the purchasers and exporters of the pto
duce of tlie south, and consequently tiie import
ers for the whole country. The process was
very simple, a merchant or capitalist in New
York, Philadelphia, or Boston, could, by obtain
ing a loan from the Bank, send his agent to the
South, purchase Cotton, Rice, or Tobacco, pay
for it in drafts on the North at a premium, cause
the policy of insurance and bills of lading to be
forwarded to the North, draw on London, sell
his sterling bills at ten per cent, advance, and
pay his debt to the bank. And if his cargo sold
| Europe for no more than he gave for them at
, Charleston or Savannah, the domestic exchange
would p.iy commissions, perhaps all charges—
anu the sterling exchange won! 1 be a clear pro.
lit. Thus on an operation of one hundred thou
sand dollars, the capitalist was almost certain ;o
make eight or ten thousand profit. His bills of
exchange were purchased by importers of goods
who obtained loans from the Bank to pay fir
them. This completed the operation, and sent
lire mighty current of southern commerce thro’
northern channels, and caused it to deposit its
I p ofiis in northern ci ics. The duties on the
goods imported were paid in those < ities, and
I deposit! d in the JB.n k to increase its power,
which thus became iiresistible. No Southern
Bank could compete with it, or venture to ac
commodate southern merchants with such ex
tensive loans. Under ihc operations of this sys
tem, tiie imports of New York increased from
53,505,405 in 1791, to •'510,3 )4,581 in 1695
Pennsylvania, during the same period, from $3,-
436,093, to .$11,518,092. While the import
| trade of the southern cities declined wi ll corrcs
: ponding rapidity, or did not keep pace with their
exports, which is the same thing.
Another National Bank was chartered in ISIG ;
with a capital of $35,000,0 It), made the deposi- j
! ti>ry of the revenue of the Government and the
! agent for the payment of its debts. Tims was
j lids new instilution rendered more powerful
j than its predecessor, and enabled not only to
I control the commerce and exchange of the conn
j try, but also the value of properly from Maine
to Mississippi. The distribution of its capital
was quite as unequal as that of the old Bank,
and its operations as decidedly in favor of the
commerce of tiie North, and as oppressive to that
lof tiie South. Through the instrumentality of
! it« branches it. restrained the circulation ot the
Banks at the Sou h, while those of the Northern
cities were permitted to expand theirs; rendering
our Banks mere loan offices, and depriving our
I merchants of the necessary facilities to enable
them to participate in the commerce of the coun
try. Its whole cud and aim seemed to be, (o
\ control the commerce and exchanges of the
South and render them subservient to the in
terests of the merchants and institutions of the
North. Il proof of this were wanting, the lan
guage used by the President of the Bank in his
report to the committee of Congress in 1832,
would be conclusive. He says—“ The whole
force of the institution was lheiefo''e directed to
I strengthen that place, (New York) and the dis
| taut blanches were directed to avoid incoimno
i ding it, and the Allan) ic branches near them, oy
j drafts upon them, but to pay their balances lo
them, with as lilt lo delay as the convenience of
their respective localities would permit. This
| is the whole policy of the Bank in the last six
j months. L will lie seen therefore, that without
| a diminution, t here is an actual increase of busi
ness in New York, and a large increase of do
meslic bills ai the Branches —the increase ot
New York being for the purpose of protecting
i tiie interests there; afid the incicase of the re
mittances being from the West and South, to
i sustain New York, and the Northern Atlantic
branches.” “In assuming this part, on the
present occasion, the Bank deemed itself only
as it was designed to act by the Congress which
created it, and placing itself in its true natural
attitude to the Govurnniei.it and the country.”
Speaking of the imp irlalions <n New York, lie
says —•• Tub Southern produce furnishes ihe
greatest part of the moans lo pay for those im
| port at ions.”
Many p, t iotic persons entertain the opinion
that a Na io ml Bank is necessary to regulate 1
exchange, establish a uniform currency a.ih en- |
able the C iveniment to collect and disnur.-e its
revenues with economy; and ihal to attain those
objects was t ie dc ign of C ingress a Idle estab
lishment of the la.o Bank. Sued, however,
seems not to have been lire opinion of the great
financier at the head of that institution; lie lakes
the ground at once that il was designed to con
trol the commerce of the country, oy aiding or |
sustaining some points, or places, which of)
course could not be done except at the expense j
or depression of others—or in plain E ighsh, I
i the South must be deprived of her commerce, I
| that New York and other Northern cities may j
flourish.
It is not a little remarkable that Southern men
should attach so much importance to the regula
tion of exchange, or as the matter is understood,
to a low rate of exchange on the North. lam
ready to admit that much loss has been sustained
by Southern merchants in the payment of debts
due at the North at tile time the Banks suppen
ded specie payments; and that a trifling incon
venience attends travelling from the South lo
the North, This stale of things Will bo almost
entirely remedied by the resumption of cash pay- j
meets, and the sales of goods made with a view j
to cover the rate of exchange. But it must not
be forgotten by the Southern Planter, that what
ever the rale of exchange may bo on the North,
it operates as a bounty or premium on direct mi
portations, and that if exchange on New York
could be kept at leu per cent, for leu years, it I
would unquestionably relieve us from the co n- i
mcrcial trammels of that city, which do not cost
us much iess than twenty-five per cent, per an- |
main on the who'e amount of our exports.
The cheap transfer and disbursement of the j
funds of the Government and a uniform curren
cy, arc no doubt desirable objects; but,'they sink
to insignificance in comparison with the great
co nniercial interests of the staple Slates.
Tiie two or three per cent, more or less which
the Government may pay on tiie amount of its
revenues—which ought not to exceed fifteen
millions of dollars —and the trifling difference
which might exist in the currency and exchange
at a time of general specie payments oy the
Banks, or as regulated by a National Bank, can
not be of the slightest moment lo tiie staple
Slates, when compared to tiie vast importance
of being relieved from their commercial depen
dence ami Hie establishment ot a dii'ccl trade
with all the world.
I do not hesitate lo give it as my we!l consi
dered opinion, that, if a Bank of the United Slates
h id never existed, exchange on the North and
| Europe would have been in favor of ihs South
from the lime Colton began to form an import
ant item in our exports, to tbe present hour.
Tiie duties on imports are paid almost etelu
i sively on articles purchased in foreign countries
i with Southern produce, and collected in North
: ! era cities; and if deposited in Banks, and per
mitted to be used in ttieir business, serve to in
crease their power to perpetuate the ascendency
• of the North and the commercial vassalage of
• the South. Y T ou will therefore perceive that I
• am in favor of an entire separation of the reve
> nues and influence of the Government from
Bmks, and of course opposed to the “re-orgaai
zation oflhc Pet-Bank scheme” —the history of
; which, and the circumstances attending its sig
r na l failure, are so fresh in the recollection of
! every one, that further allusion to them is deem
■ e<l unnecessary.
I The Sub-Treasury bill, as it was called, intro
| duced and discussed during the two last session ol
Congress, contained, in my opinion, several dan
gerous and most obnoxious provisions—and had it
become a law, would have placed the revenues of
the country in the hands of the President of the
United States—and as far as rnonev can confer
powerin our country, ’• ouid have rendered his un
limited. 1 have stated that the duties on imports
are paid almost entirely by the South, and that
• they are collected in Northern cities where the
goods are imported. The payment of them in/spe
cie would in my opinion, in a very short time, pros
; trate our Banking institutions, and operate most
! oppressively on our commercial and agricultural
| interests. Ne w Voik, where the largest amount of
duties is collected, would become 'fie recipient of
| this current of specie. From that point it would
I be distributed to the Land Offices of the West, to
1 moot existing liabilities for purchases of public
jlinds, and throughout the Northern States and
cities, to meet the eno mnus amount of Govern
ment expenditure ; and there is no operating cause
to bring any portion of it again to rite Sou:lt. ft
was the boast of New York in the spring of 1837,
| that there was enough due her from the Cot
ton grow ing States alone, to pay her debt of more
than sixty millions to Europe! Our debt to New
York, and other Northern cities, is constan ly ac
cruing, and if specie were required in payment of
the duties on their importations, their collecting
agents at the South would draw it from our Banks,
until their vaults would he emptied, or they should
I suspend specie payments When the Bank of
I England, in the beginning of 1837, refused any lou
| ger to sustain tire'great houses, winch had been in
the habit of accepting American hii’s to almost any
amount, and the New York merchants could no
longer draw on London, for 1 tie payment of their
liabilities or the purchase of goods, they were com
pelled to demand specie of (J cir Banks and thus
drove them in a few w eeks to a suspension of spe
cie payments. Our Banks were compelled to
adopt a similar course for a similar reason—our
merchants owed those of New York, and their debts
must be paid. That city therefore became the
point where specie was most valuable, because
most wanted; and had our Bunks continued to pay
specie, their vaults would have been drained, if
the Government revenue in the Northern cities
were to be collected in specie, similar results would
follow.
!t appears by returns of the amount of specie in
New York on the Ist of April last, that there was
Specie in Banks, $3,2'29,‘2 ! J3
Do. in circulation, 1,000,008
■3> i,-22J,.;01
It has been stated by high authority, that six
millions of specie would bo sufficient to meet the
revenues and disbursements of the Government.
I am of opinion, however, that at least twice
that sum would be necessary by the lime the whole
amount of the revenue would h ive been required
in specie under the operations of the Sub- Treasury
bill, had u become a law. But taking six millions
as the probable amount; at least four-liiihs of that
would be required in New York, or from four to
five millions per annum. This would more than
double tne amount of specie in Banks and circula
tion, and give a very great impulse to paper credits
in that city, and of course lo commercialenterpnze.
Thus strung; lienmg our great commercial oppressor,
and rende mg our day ol deiiverance more distant
and doubtful. You will hence perceive that lam
decidedly opposed to what was called '“‘the specie
clause" or the twenty-third section of the Sub-Trea
sury bill, in fact, the ite/aiis of that bill were in
ray opinion altogether objectionable and of a most
pernicious tendency.
1 am in favor of a divorce of the Government
from Banks, but 1 am not in favor of placing the
revenues ol the country, in specie, or in paper, in
th e hands of any maul The keeping of tiie pubiie
revenue lias been thrown forward as the main and
important question, by those who desire to have
the uncontrolled disbursement of it —There can be
no difficu y in providing safe depositories for the
revenues oi the Government. The mon questions
are, how much shall be collected, and how and by
whom expended 1
1 am ‘'requested to make known my choice for
the next President between Van Bnren, Clay, Web
ster, and Harrison.” These men ail stand charged
1 with a long catalogue of unpardonable political >ins
against the South They were all advocates and
; sup porters of the Tariff, or American System, us it
; was called. They were m favor of the Force Bill,
and the doctrines of the Proclamation. They en
tertain Uie opinion that Congress has power under
j the Constitution, to abolish slavery in tiie List ret
| of Columbia, and the right and is in duty hound to
| receive Abolition petitions, and they are all—except
i Air. Yau Buren—in favor of a National Bank, and
! of giving to it the deposi. of the public revenue.
Air. Van Buren has ever manifested such a total
| want of political .niegrity anti firmness as to afford
! the Southern States no guarantee that he will, in
| good faith pursue any measure intended to protect
j or promote their peculiar interests, longer than
I policy may dictate to secure their votes.
! Air. Clay is charged with having said that the
| operations of the Tariff would so reduce the value
; of property at ‘ho South, as to induce the planters
to manumit their slaves. Whether lie has made
this declaration or not, it is a matter of iiule impor
tance. If he possesses one half the knowledge of
political economy attributed to him, he must have
i known that such would be the tenducy and probable
i result of the American System, if the people ol the
j South had been so lost to alt sense of their rights
and interests, as to have submitted to its und.s
-’ tnrbed operations. He has recently hoisted the
flag of a Fifty Million Bunk —.lns is bis last great
i move for the Presidency. He says in language—n t
; to be misunderstood —to the commercial and man
ufacturing interest of the North, “make me Presi
dent, and I will give you a Bank of Fifty Millions.”
! He was the father of the American System, and
! now seeks to be the father of a National Bank.
Such a progeny, leagued with such a parent, would
consolidate tiie Union into an unmitigated despo
tism, or break it into fragments.
'The opinions of Air. VV ebster, are so well known
■ and so universally condemned in Georgia, as of the
most ui ra federal cast —that I presume no party in
! the stale would think for a moment of supporting
him for the Presidency.
Mr. Harrison entertains opinions similar to those
of Mr. Webster and Air. Clay.
You will therefore perceive that neilher of the
candidates you have named can be' my choice for
the Presidency.
If elected lo Congress, and the election of Presi
dent should devolve on the House of Kepresenta
i lives, 1 shall feel bound to give my vote in accor
dance with the will of the people of Georgia, as ex
i pressed at tticir Electoral College.

- The local advantages of this house are too well
■ known to need a lengthened description here. The
■ f icts that Pensacola is the largest naval station of |
the Government, the general rendezvous of the i
Gulf squadron; the salubrity of its climate, re-j
freshed constantly during the summer months by I
• the*coolest breezes from the Gulf—the beauty of
the Bay aud the neighboring islands and rivers, |
t l „ abundance and delicacy ofthe fish with which |
t the water abounds, and its proximity to the best )
southern m i kets, give Pensacola the preference
over all other places in these latitudes, as a healthy
' q delightful summer resort.
rii-st rate boats will run between Pensacola and
Mobile, and will at all times be able to take the
! v.«?n'«ra from the New Orleans boats.

The stock, which is mow very large, comprises a
good number of instruments from each o r our three

rsIHE subscribers having purchased the right of
J the PATENT FEATHER DRESSER, for
this Stare, would respectfully inform tho citizens
of Augusta and vicinity, that they have one of
said Machines in successful operation in Mclntosh
corner of Reynold street. The work is done en
tirely by the operation of steam, no fire coming
near the Feathers, and no possibility of scorching
or otherwise injuring them By this operation all
MOTHS are destroyed and removed, without loss
or waste of Feathers; on the contrary, the bulk is
very much increased and many times one-half —
nothing being removed but small particles of dust,
<tc They are also purified from all disagreeable
small that often attends Feathers, and are entirely
cleansed and dried , and have the appearance and
essential qualities of NEW FEATHERS.
They would invite all house-keepers, and those
| who prefer sleeping on pure and soft beds —who
; study health and economy, to try and prove the
I Steam Feather Renovator.
All persons are invited to call and sea the Ma
chine and its operation, and be convinced of its
1 utility.
