Ate wo- propuied t.» dispen r witli the a 'eticv of Hanks I Air we rea.lv to mi these institu tions crushed by the band .1 power, Iba l I; . ground may be cleared for the i violation of son r How government experiment ' This i-ll.e qm s fion which is hircej upon our consideration by the par'y in power. The question involves the largest interests of society. Hanks arp created to meet the increasing wants id end./.id man. Modern society owes the snpeiioiiiy which it bus Required over every ancient oigatiizatioti t f civil nod communities, to these mm b abused in atitulions. They have Seen bnidol in hie--,digs, i and ibey are inacj arable bo o i oiiiincreial enie.r prise nnd national prospeiily. Those nalions which am must advanced in civilization, which exhibit the hi;! . a tnornl and intellectual cultivation m lion ml which sus lain the most riunierous and iinpoilaiit relation, abroad, have earned the banking system into the vv idcsl operation. Hanks furnish ns with a paper currency, and tbiiH become itUmil l lied unborn eoinineicial p.c pcrily. It is a source of profound a-loni-Imienl that at Ibis day, them slum'll be found men of lllloimitiion who eondeiiin paper money, I hive searched in vain forlliu ~| eoniin<o ei il ticlivily mid prospeiily, if tins be not one us the i most important. It is coni in ua <ly objected lo n paper currency, | that it wants uniformity of value. Money vvaa ( invented ns a medium of ex. b inge, and men in ouily limes found llmt the pieeioiia metals were more suitable to then purpo-e then miy other open!, chiefly because id li eir mill, null v us value; hut as society enlarged and Its wants nnnei ail, nnd its interests became more complex, it uas found important lo create some other currcney j which s mild unite other qualides, l/nifonnily ol value, is undeniably a very im porlunl quality in currency—lnn is not the only ' Olio which wc shoOld seek. U e desire u inr ' rency which shall possess a inn form vnlnr , am! j heat lllesaino time, übandnnt, cheap ami con - i vetucnl. ll is impossible to obliiin any inedinm of ex- ' change, possessing a perfectly uniform value. 1 Even the precious metals do not, they are liable ' to fluctuations. Their value now ia by mi means so great as it was at the closo of the 111 cenlb cen tury. Alter the discovery of Ameiiea, tbe.-e nulals sunk exceedingly in value. Hut let it be j conceded that gold and silver do possess a greater uniformity of value than tiny other imdii; i of <xeluinge which men can employ, yet do they . . possess the. other advantages which we requiie m a currency! Will they furnish a cinreney so ' iihuiidaiil and convenient av that which Hanks supply? Hurcfy not, nr the commerei.il world: never would have employed a paper euneney. I 1 The obvious advantages found in puper in nev, ! such an abundance, cheapness and eonvenienee I ! induced commercial men to employ il in the pi... e ' ot the precious metals, and so long as it is a icj - ' resenlaltvo only; so long as il is conveitilde, n ' possesses a value sullicicnlly uniform for all the! 1 , purposes of trade. In a country of so great extent ns the United Stale*, nu abundant currency is demanded. This quality, abundance, cannot be sacrificed lo bare uniformity ol value, ll id .lined at tlie ueea ion. i ' nl abuses of tile banking system, we. should re ’ turn to a metallic currency, the result would be a universal stagnation of business. The curren cy ofcourso would bo an evrcnulv limited one. Tiadc would languish, enterprise would I en . energy, and that high, hold spun which has ear lied the hustle of activity mid business, into the 1 wilderness, which has levelled the forests and I adorned the streams of om land with villages, 1 towns und cities, live no longer louimnilu m. A country cannot sutler under a grexlei evil than a restricted euneney, and without the hank ing system it is impossible lo have an übtindani one.

On the same day last year, the following were | the rarcs on some of the principal [joints : ! Charleston, 7J ; New Orleans, 15; Mobile, 20;! Nashville, 20 per cent. •M that time, | robably about 10,000,000 del- 1 lars wu.e due from the Boulh anil West to the i merchants of New York, and who, on account of the ruinous rate of exchange to which they j were subjected, preferred letting it remain until limy should gel better. This amount has, with the decrease of discount been gradually liquidat ed; while the stagnation of business produced 1 by the suspended condition of the banks, has 1 prevented the accumulation of a new debt. This, 1 with the fact that tho whole country is, as it j were, in a state of repose with regard to trade, I may account, in a degree, for the present favora i hie rates of exchange.
