Mr. Nelson a passenger on board the Empress informs us that on the morning of May 11th, the steamer Calpe arrived at Gribaltar in two days from Lisbon, bring intelligence that the Carlist aqd Chrislinos had come to an engagement, in which the for mer were defeated with the loss of 6000 men. The plug 1 le was making great ravages in the Darbary states, except Tunis, and caused great alarm in Spain,ltaly and the oilier European king doms bordering On the Mediterranean. A cor don of three thousand men had been drawn around Tunis, to prevent all communication with Tripoli, where the pestilence was most ac tive. Nevertheless the authorities of Gibraltar had prohibited the entrance or vessels from Tu nis into the hay. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 10th says that similar measures had been taken at Malaga, ami generally along lire shores of tlic Mediterranean. At Tunis the European consuls had organized themselves into a board of health, and it is was hoped that their precautions would exclude the disease. The news of our commercial troubles, down to the Bth of April, had been received at Gibraltar.

Patriot. sl7. From the Charleston Mercury. To Nicholas Biddle, Esq. President, of the Bank of United States. Sir.-rTlie Citizens! of Charleston, at a pub lic meeting held on the 18lh May, for the purpose ol considering the expediency of the Banks of tills City suspending Specie pay ment, consequent on the suspension in the Northern Cities,passed the following Resolu tion ; “ Resolved, That the Presidents of the Banks in tins City be requested to establish forthwith a correspondence with the Faults of the other Commercial Cities of the Union lor the purpose ot taking early measures lor the resumption of Specie payments; that when this measure does lake place, it may be simultaneous throughout the United Statqs and with tit's least possible disturbance to the exchanges of the country.” * This Resolution was referred to the Presi dents of tlie different Batiks; and an allotment made for the correspondence of each, with the several Institutions in the commercial ci ties of the Union, and to myself was assign ed the honor of communicating with you on the important subject which it compehends. The private letter which 1 have already writ ten you, must have prepared you tor this com munication, I shall make no apology for ad dressing you directly through the public press. The great power and extensive influ ence of the Bank over which you preside (to say nothing qf the prominent position you yourself personally occupy) would seem to make it eminently proper, if the Banks are to co-operate in effecting an early and salutary return of I lie country to a sound currency, that in tills effort iyour exertions, enlighten ed by the experience you have had in the finances of the United States, should be be directed to the highly important object of combining and concentrating the action of the other Banks in the Union, to the accom plishment of this mbs! desirable result. I feel, I trust, all the diffidence which a comparitivcly short experience in the practical operation t of banking ought to iihpross upon my mind, and I should certainly have vastly preferred that the suggestion 1 am about to make for AN EARLY AND EFFECTUAL RESUMPTIONOFSPECIE PAYMENTS on the part of the Batiks, had been offered by one vvho could have' given his opinions that sort of authority which results from a repute founded as well upon tlie public confidence, as on ripe experience and acknowledged abil ity. But the dark cris s in which the countty is placed, ih which even the evils which we are now suffering Under great as they are seem compartively of trivial moment to those yet in reserve; if some general and signal effort is not made for its relief, would justify the most humble man in the Unidn, however very hum ble his own contingent, to present it freely,as an offering for the common and joint service of us all. I must therefore begin my premising that if the conflict which lias been going on at least for the last six years, between the Gov eminent and the supporters of a Bank of tlie United Stales, or in other words, between tlie credit system and the advocates of a metalic circulation is not compromised orcomposed.it will end in the RUIN OF THE COUNTRY. I have been brought to this conviction by tlie most painful yet unequivocal omens. I have not tlie slightest hostility to your Bank. On tlie contrary,ill tlie very extensive intercourse which I have had witli it commenceing with the purchase of your Charleston Branch in 1835, by the bank over which I preside down to the present moment of our frequent corres pondence, I have at all limes recognised tlie great liberality and pub ic spirit of accommo dation by which your Institution seems inva riably to be governed. Whatever, tlicrefurb may be my opinions on the abstract question of the power of Con gress to renew your Charter (which incline To the rigid school of construction,) for one, [ should have been willing under tlie decision of the Supreme Court and the anterior ap proval of tlie Bank Bill by Mr. Madison, to consider the whole matter as a point definite ly sullied fertile public tranquillity, if not for the interest we all fuel in a sound and stable currency. But whatever maybe your opinion. Sir, or on whatever ground I may be willing to com promise a public question; is a matter ot ve ry little moment provided it should be found in a representative democracy like ours, that the people are arrayed on the adverse side, or an Executive should happen to be in pow er ready witli Ins Veto to obey the sanctions of Ids own conscience, his own convictions of expediency and justice,; (or it you please ins vindictive predjudices) by putting an extin guisher on your hypothesis financial and con stitutional or my own. How then, it may be asked, is the difficulty to be met anil surmounted? How is tide per petnal warfare between the Government or the supporters of a metalic currency, and the Bunk of the United States, (a conflict which promises to engulph the whole country in con vulsion and ruin) to be stayed and put at rest forever! I answer explicity. By the spirit of conciliation and compromise, by which, nine times out of ten, public danger is to be averted, when force and violence prove utter ly powerless. Without a presumptuous-confidence in my own opinions, (for God knows the crisis is well calculated to beget, amidst appaling diffi culties, any tiling but a too sanguine reliance on ourselves,) I cannot but think if the con juncture which will be presented to Cmgress on tlie Ist September next, bo met by (lie Executive and the National Legislature, by the leading Statesmen in both its Brandies, and by live influential Banks of tlie United Stales, (more especially by your own.) in the proper spirit and with the means and mea sures that will be in the possession of all those functionaries, public ami private, Specie pay ments may be resumed in a very short period alter the mealing of Congress, and m four months nllor tho commencement of its Ses sion,—the Constitution of the United States be so amended that our Currency will be,pla ced on a basis of prosperity and security which I trustwill be imperishable. Before I ven ture to indicate with all due deference what appear to me to be the proper means to ac complish these desirable results, it will not be amiss to s«y a word or two on those causes which have contributed most effectually to produce our present sufferings and embarrass ments. ' Tho primary and efficient cause of tho pre sent embarrassments of tlie United States, is to be found in a want of uniformity in our currency, which results from there being no legal or constitutional restraint on its issues. This is a consequence of our complex form of Government. In twenty-six States, each of them assuming and exercising the sovereign attributes of authorizing tlie manufacture of money, to an unlimited extent, without the smallest check or control, except what they think proper to impose on themselves, no other effects could possibly have been pre dicted, than those which have actually oc curred. Anv remedy which fails short of gradually arresting this evil, is absolutely worthless and 1 unavailing. Upon this point, I desire at tlie , close of this communication to make a few suggestions, which comprehend a possible euro for this evil, which may, I think, be Use fully employed. These laboratories of paper money, in tlie different States, more especially in the new Slates of tho West, were pampered into exis , tence, or met by a gigantic spirit of public en terpnze, which sprung out of tho general peace in Eurape, from tlie natural develop ment of the vast resources of our country, as well as from the extraordinary discoveries in mechanical philosophy, by which a new and almost miraculous itaimise has been given to public improvements throughout the world.— The means which map possesses of increas ing indefinitely his physical power by the a genej of steam, lias been most emphatically illustrated in tlie last five vetrs, both in Eng land and America. Theßail.Roads and Ca nals, public and private edifieoj, and 1 may 4ay (owns, built or in the course of construc tion, jn both countries, producer a demand for the immediate creation of a circnlaiing medium, which should be the representative of tlie,amount of exchangeable value thus cre ated, which the precious metals could not possibly afford. Hence tho demand for pa per money, and wiiere existing Bunks coilld not supply this demand, Joint Htock Compa nies wore created in England, without num ber, under the Act of Gedrge IV., and tlie sovereign power of the States on tins side of the water, was invoked to incorporate new Banks, almost to an indefinite extent. Tlie stimulus thus given to the currency of both countries, was mot by a abort crop of Cotton in 1835, whibh, will, a superabundant issue in the circulation, carried prices up at once to a maximum, which prccipildted both countries into a career of speculaliort little short of mad , ness. Manufactures, goods, wares, and mer chandize, cotton, land, slaves, and every chat , tel, if we may so speak, real, personal and m;xed, rose to a point of elevation Which ’ many ew post facto prophets have since pre dicted were dizzy and insecure. Still tlie de mand lor more Banks was insatiable, and not to he appeased. According to the most au thentic returns, we have seen that within tlie last seven years, three hundred and filly seven new Banks have been created in , States, besides one hundred and forty-six , Branches, which, added to those previously I in existence, made a total of six hundred and ■ sixty-seven Banks. This produced a corres ponding augmentation of the Banking capital . of the country, of one hundred and sevenly nine millions, and an increase in the circula ! lion of paper money amounting to one hun dred and twenty five millions. Now, sir, I consider these effects to have , been altogether beyond tlie control of tlie , General Government. That they sprung from the contagious influence of tlie spirit of sp culation, or if you please, the genius of the age in which wo live, that they would have occurred with or without tlie existence of the Bank of the United States proper, or the re moval of the Deposites, or General Jackson’s Treasury Circular. In one word, they reshl. ted from the great demand for a circulating medium, and the unlimited powerof the States to meet this demand, by an unlimited issue of paper money, to which, in an era like tlie one through which we have just passed, as salutary as may be tlie clidck of a Batik of the United States, on inordinate issues in ordinary times, it would rather davo had to obey the general impulse; of which I think tlie course ot events in your own Bank, in Philadelphia, affords tlie strongest exponent. I am sure your own magnanimity and frank ness will induce you to tolerate this remark. Indeed nothing can illustrate more powerfully the extravagant spirit of speculation which infected tlie whole country, than the fact, that , the Legislature of your S'ate should have giv en your hank a charter for the enormous sum of ihirty-five millions, with tlie immense han king capital it had previously authorized by law, without the faculty of legalizing the off* , culation of one cent beyond its own limits, , Let us be just, before we are severe in our di rect agency in bringing ah mt a state of tilings to winch the measures of our Government may have efficiently contributed, but which , these measures couid not have entirely pro , duecd. It indicates no rnns'erly spirit of philosophy : tohe harping on mere secondary causes at best, when the great scources of existing evils • are left unexplored. The strife which is now • waging on whom to fix the exclusive respon • sihihty of great public calamities, is unworthy 1 of the spirit of those who must approach the . distemperatUre in our public affairs in a wide ly different tone. Let me however, not • be misunderstood. I think Gen. Jackson com i milled great and miscllevioua mistakes ill tain ' pering with the currency of the country.— i That lie endangered its best interests by Ids . attachment to a futile by potlieiis, practicable • alone through a wise and gradual induc tion. That as in ono of Ids early messages he waved Ids constitutional scru-dcs in regard to the charter of a Bank of the United Slates, • he ought to given Ins asssent witli salutary . modifications to a rechaner of ynur Bank, or i afforded to Congress the project ofa fiscal agent . by which tho public mone/ would have been . g ecU re in deposit, and the circulation of the t country kept as far as practicable in a healthy condition, and under a case control. I more ! over think nothing could have been more in i judicious .than Ifw removal of the public de posites from the custody of your institu'ion, j nor any thing more unwise than the Treasury , Circular. The last was in fact a premium to . the speculations of capitalists and augmented , with many concomitant ills, the very evil it . was designed to cure. But ail these singlv s or in combination, were unable to product B the great revulsion which lias taken place in y the trade, agriculture and commerce, of boil England aul America. As Well [ought the | sails of a wind mill standing on a promontory » which overlooks ocean, fan into existence . tlie tornado whip(i upturns its mighty bosom. > England with her Government Bank, and . without a removal of the deposits of hoi i Treasury, or a Treasury Circular, is suffering r from identical evils resulting from identical - causes—overtrading, extravagant speculation, s and paper money. Tlie crisis does not call . for, but absolutely repudiates, on the part ol j the Government and the advocates of a Bank . of the United States, the mutual indulgence t in that spirit of reproach and recrimination, to . which botli parties haye so painfully fesorled. ; Except to avoid the mistakes >Ve have com s milted it is useless to look back. Let us ) move forward with a determination to lay . aside all contest for political power, all parly strife, and all selfish and personal prejudices . or attachments, and in one united and iratne i djate effort to rescue tlie country from ini r pending ruin. > This, I would fain hope, can bo accomplish . ed by a spirit of compromise and concession f outlie haft of tlie Government of tlie United f States, and those who may be called tlie ad i vacated ot the credit system which has taken f sucli deep rout, and excercices such pervu > ding influence among us. . Il may be assumed that our present emb ir , raasmeiits have divided the Country into two , parties. That they consequently offer tho . following antagonist remedies. Ist. Tlie organ of the Government.'indicates a • determination lu divorce Ihe government from [ all connection with Banks; to have its own strong bnx, and by compelling the payment of • all Government dues in specie to bring tlie . country to a hard money currency ‘idly. The supporters of a credit system are simply in favor ofa re-charter of the Barik of the United Stales by Congress,and believe that by tlie salutary operations of this institu tion on the circulations and exchanges of the country, the present evils would be cured witli the least possible disturbance to the great interests of tlie country. The limits tp which my own inclinations and a due regard fur your patience assign me forbid my treating the largo and profoundly interesting topics 'comprehended in these prepositions, in a manner which their own importance would seem to demand. They cannot, however lie passed over in silence.— A must, I think, be obvious to any man of re flection, that if il should ho dosireable that cbm should either form the sole constituent, or enter more largely into our circulation, this end is only to bo accomplished, safely ami beneficially by a gradual process; liy which the country shall bo even insensible of the change which is going on in the standard of value. The truth is, this country ami Ore it Britain have been built up by the credit sys tem,, or, in other words, by a paper circula tion ; if not at all times convertuble into spe cie, at least at all times having its value gauged by Gold and Silver. If Ibe Govern ment had .he despotic power of undulating every Bank in tiie United States at a blow, and of burning every Bank Note by tlie hand of the common hangman, it would only lead to a ruin and trunstcr of properly greater and far more desolating than have signalized tho fifttsteps of tlie most sanguinary revolu tion which has occured in the world. Iflhore fore, Government was to attempt farliully tho accomplishment of this end by the means which have been announced, it must produce a climax in our present suffering, and fill the whole country witli convulsion and alarm,— The truth is; the inslitututions and habits ofa people are not to he torn up in a day. The extensive issues of paper has had much to do , with our present diffiulties, but the . emission . of credits, in the shape of a convertible cir . culation, when well sustained and guaranteed i by specie and its equivalent in solid securities 1 have made England and America what they i are, whilst a hard money currency has niil r prevented Spain and Italy from sinking into I a conditon of debasement and imbecility. . The'mere fact ot not mailing paper money [ d legal tender in ordinary times; is an elfec* ■ live security fur its solidity to tlie public. Mr. Burke, in the grandeur which belonged to his genius, said forty seven years ago, in speak* ingof the currency ot England, as contrasted i with that of France, “Our paper money i< of value to commerce, because in Westminister - llalj, 11 it impotent. In payment of a debt of twenty shillings, a creditor may refuse all i the paper of the Bank of England. Nor is ■ there amongst us a single public security ol - any quality or nature whatsoever, ilia', is en forced by authority. In fact it may be easily i shewn, that our paper. Wealth, instead of les sening Hie real coin, lias a tendency to in* • crease it. instead ofa substitute fur money, ■ it only facilitates its entry, its exit and its ' circulation; that it is the symbol of prosperity, i and not tlie badge of distress.” There is quae as much oftrue philosophy and sound sense in this passage, as of verbal elegance. The ( history, both of England and America proves it. Limit the circulation of paper to its rep. i resentative in coin, and the securities of sub , stamial property, and a country :s at once blessed with a currency sound safe and heal . thy, and competent to perform all the trans fers and exchanges of her trade, commerce . and agriculture. To afford however to tho i public, a security for tlie application of this ; limit, is the difficulty. This nevertheless is a . duty and trust of every civilized government, i and involves an obligation I hat can neither , ba compromised or postponed. It is a duty . which our government must, perform. If they . have not the constitutional power, it must he Conferred by an amendment of tlie Cunal.itu , lion. It is id vain to speak immediately ot i the destruction of every Bank in tlie country, even if this measure was desirable, it could not i be accomplished with safety in less than thir ty years, and then by a process the most gra dual and healing. The effort lo establish a hard money currency for tlie Government, and at tlie same time that the people should nave ono of paper for themselves, m isl per petuate our present embairassrrfelits, and ii prac.icuhle, must end in calamity and convul sion. The (ruth is not to bo concealed, sir, that if the advocates ofa hard money curren cy could succeed in carrying their favorite hy pothesis mto practical operation, every man whose liabilities amounted lo one filili part of Ids actual properly, would he ruined. 1 leave any man who is acquainted with the character of our people, to decide if they would permit, Col. Benton to pul us like mice into Ids groat metallic retort lor tlie purpose of ascertaining how Jong we could breathe in tins ex I urns led receiver. 1 have no toleration for theories that are to place nine tenths of the country under the parental custody of the Sheriff, or to consign some oftho best men among us to the despair which sudden poverty brings upon those who have others to curse and not them selves for their ruin. Whilst I feel the utter ablisrdity, not lo say wickedness of precipitating the country sud denly into a great and alarming change in Us currency, I (jam not insensible ot the signal evils .which are on tlie other hand inci dent to a profuse issue of paper money, which combined with a spirit of extravagant specu lation, have brought us precisely to our pre sent condition. wiwiwiwiMwiwiiiißMwawaavni; itygarawilv ms y, | fj I eh«II therefore now proceed with lliegroa. to I test possible brevity ; but with tho inmost de ni I ferency, to suggest what seem to mu to be Ii apjiroijnate remedies to meet tho evils of tin 10 present crisis. ■y Ist. 1 shall speak of those which are of a to permanent character, wlucn 1 think will ap i. proximate to a gradual, though effective 'cure id of our currency ir 2d. Oi thu.-c of a temporary character, but g by which however, the Banks might at an 11 early (iiiy resume specie payments, and Irani u, which immediate rc.ief might ho afforded, and d tlie present embarrassments essentially iint iga >f ted, or entirely removed. It Ist. No permanent cure can bo applied to ; e tho existing eistemporature of our curetn-y, u except through a fixed provission of the Con i. stitntiin and Laws by which tin: Batik Capi i- tal ol die United States shall not bo increas is cd hcnpifter; but on the contrary,lie gradually y diminished by tlie failing in of the Charters of y existing Banks until the amount of capital s among the States shall reach a point in be ’* apportioned by some ratio' among ihcm, that r shall he deemed sale and proper. Perhaps a ratio that shall be eompdundi'd .of population - apd exports, would be the satbst rule of per il portion. * i For tins and tho following purposes, it - would be necesary to obtain a;.amendment of i the Constitution oftho United .Stares. • let. This hiijeiidmoijt ought to contain likewise the explicit grant to Congress, of the . authority to incorporate n Bank ot the United j istales, with sudli limitations against the abuse : tit power as experience may have suggested. This provision ought to prohibit the G'ove'rn i mentof the United Stales holding inore than i one cightli ofthe Stuck of tho said Bank, for i which it should he entitled to hut. one six f lecntli of its repreonlative power in tlie eiuc > tion or Directors. 2.1. Tlie Elates should likewise solemnly i abjure tlie power of incorporating a Drnk : beyond (lie amount of Capital fixed as the ra i lit/, and confer upon Congress the po >or of do . lermimng (he denomination 1 of the Bills ,to ho issued, m order that in tins essential par ticular the currency might be uniform throughout the United States. i The,object oftiijs .last provision will be obvious. Congress might through tho instru mentality of this power, gradually increase., tlie metallic circulation, by enacting lor ex ample,that no Stale should after the year lol ly issue a .Vote ofa le.it il ‘nomination than Five Dollars, in forty-live of Ten, and in fifty of a loss deiiomiiniion than 'Twenty Dollars, a sclmtrie which Mr, Calhoun disclosed in his able Speech on tho. Currency. In this mode 1 conceive that the Banking Capital, pi the country.might be brought down, tlie paper currency diminished, and the metallic circu lation gradually augmented without any dan gerous disturbance of the standard of value. It is a must fortunate,circumstance that, us Congress will meet op the Ist of Beptuuibur, , tlie amendment might be passed byjtlnit body, , proposed to the Legislatures of all the Etn es | which will be m session in the course in the winter, and if 'unified by three Courts, become i a part of tlie Constitution by the Ist of March t next. ' i 1 hope it may not bo deemed unseasona- i hie, that I should otter a lew reasons in fa- 1 vor of amending the Constitution, to place beyond a doubt, tlie authority of Congress to incorporate a Bank, and if conferred, that 1 should offer a few reflections on tlie expedi ency of re-chartering yimr Batik with some modifications which may boos salutary im portance. Although you may flunk it mere surplusage to amend the Constitution of the U. States m this important particular,yet the country lias been so aeriOnsiy divided un tins great ques- ( lion, that it becomes a matter of tlie higiiest J [iiib.ic concern, that Ilia Union shouiu btT not , longer agitatet. on tins exciting t >pic. , Yoii are, moreover, well aware, that most t of the objections to a Bank of the Untied , Elates, have rather bcCti as lolhelconstitution- I al competency of Congress to create one, | than to tlie. policy ot tins fiscal agent, ot great , ami salutary use, if under effective control and able and faithful management. i By an amendment of tho Constitution overy I pretext of opposition wj|| ho taken away from | those who, m point of fact, must admit the i great usefulness of tins agent, and in the or ganic process by which oil power is Conferred i under pur government, tlie question passes 1 1 deliberately before tho different Elates, bud 1 under sanctions which will insure a pnbl.c ac- ' quiescence in the measure. I think a prefer- 11 once should he given to the re-charter of the ' present Bank of the United Elates, forsevo- ' •al reasons which appear to mo satisfactory, j In tho first place, l>y taking your Bunk, tlie banking capital of tlie United Elates is ndt in- * creased. A new institution would augment Ibis capita] probably some forty or fifty mil- | lions, and revive that licorpious spirit of gpe- , culation, which it is tho intereetoftho country , to have alloyed. Vour institution is, inoreo- , \er, in the exorcise of its full functions with j its capital paid in, and in possession of all the ; capacities for irmnediaiely acting beneficially , upon the currency (if the country. 1 do nut i think live Government ought to incorporate 1 your Bank, without your stockholders should ■ consent to surrender one half of your capital, on their receiving either the par value* of tho i stock so surrendered, or its actual value as es timated pro rata, by adding your surplus, so that the stock of tlie present stockholders of the Bank ot the U. Stales might be brought down to about fifteen millions, that, tlie other twenty millions be divided between the Go. verninnnt mid Ollier Banks, That a Bank in the city of New York should he selected ns your Branch, whose capital your Batik should lake ns your stock, letting tlie stockholders in at par lor the amount of their stock, a Dank be likewise selected in Do.Uou, IVovideuce, i BiltimorC, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, | Mobile anil N6w Ofldans, and llicrest ofyo ir ( capital of tiiirty-livu millions lo bo divided he- , tween tho Government and other commercial | points where it would heexn’drent toe Iphhsll , branches. I would not, if I Ii id the power, i give you a renewal of y.nir charter on anyotli* i or terms,because this scheme involves no dan- i geroos angincnOTtoii oftho banking capital i oftho United States, which ns a whole, ought I not on any account to he increased. It is > true that in several of the States this capital 1 might besalely augmented, and perhaps if the 1 amendment oftho Coiistitutirio was adopted, 1 which I have suggested in emrie of them, Il 1 would he found that their capital had not 1 reached file ratio which might he fixed for 1 their proportion. South Carol na for exam ple, will judiciously hear an increase of her • banking capital, as it is not equal lo the depu rate value of her exports, throwing her inter n il trade and exchanges out of the question. Still looking to tlie whole interests of the ( country, it would be of vital importance that the process rather of reduction than increase, should be promptly commenced. I have thus far. Sir, very impeiferlly sketched what I believe to boa probable cure oftho unsound state oftho currency of the country. You perceive that al least the remedy involves no sudden or pe rilous change in cither its existing bank capital or j circulation. The process combrns a gradual re- r duel ion of (he one, and the gradual increase of | the precious metals, by a withdrawal at sale in- •' lervals. of tho smaller notes from the currency. Jj I should hive felt much greater diffidence in offering these suggestions lo your consideration, f in relation lo the amendment oi the Constitution, I- if they had not been confirmed, by nearly ll - same views which 1 found hud been taken up I in « distinguished gentleman of this Slato, (Ui io Bimidiiig,) wl)i) at tlie head of t!io Uoimnerci Dank ot Columbia, enjoys in an eminent deqro a the public confidence as a skilful and aide final j. c,,, r. ft gives mo great pleasure to Mcltnmvlwlg , {! that for some ol the suggestions of this, mucin meat, I am indebted ft# his acuteness and soun experience. [( Having llius disposed of the pcrmnnim’ rorni .j dies for the’debasement of our cuipeiiev, wide j look for their ex'nrcito lo mi amendment of th Constitution let me now say a few words of thus which are within tlie legislative c. on potency c Congress and within the reach of those who d | feet the ineiisitiea of diir Hanks, which can b ’ promptly applied, and tr im which llie power i resuming specie payments on (ho .part of (h ■ Banks, may with very little delay be obtained. • In the first place, 1 believe .nothing is vvahtin f now but a proper concert among tlie Iciidiu I Banking instiltilioiisol the country, with a pr-j I ptir undcisliimling with the Guvcnimeni, u> eiia 3 lilc us all at an early day, rc-commcrcc rcdifimdu; t our notes in coin. i ’I he object of this communication is to brim i about this concert mid lids understanding. 1 therefore suggest lo you that the President of the Hanks of Philadelphia have a meeting t and address a, Circular to the Jlaiiks of ih, ( , dj/'crenl Commercial cities of the United Stales requesting the Hacks of each city to uppoin one of its Presidents us a deputy, to meet it , Philadelphia, on the second .Monday in dingus ■ ae.rt,fur the piie/tosc of conferring os id tic means and period of resuming .Specie payments that the same may be universal mid ■sinw/tatte out on u certain day, throughout the tfniiet. Slates. With lids view 1 Would- suggest that id lids meetings,deputation should lie appoiii'ed to attend the Session of Congress, that by a proper understanding, llm Banks may promptly eo-opor atc with! file measures of Government in bring ing about the greatly to by desired resumption, I have very little doubt with this concert, if the Government will issue Treasury Notes hearing such a moderate rate of interest ns shall not re tard their quick circulation (oi tho instalmen.s ol lint Surplus Revenue hereafter billing duo la the several stales, redeemable in six, itine, ami twelve months, by tlie Opposite Batiks, nud at tbeircosl, that Specie payments tiny be resumed contompp raucously with tlie .issue of these Exchequer Dills. They would stand effpelively in of'Spec’m, tuodemfe (he demand for it and by be ing made payable at different points in tlie Union, serve the purposes oi exchange. Before they were exhausted, the new crop of Codon would be in market, to', enable nslo pay 'our foreign right. But at (lie present, the Banks are acting with out the slightest concert, and ns far as I can learn, without the smallest understanding witli i!\o Gov ernment. Tho existing stale of things for the in terest and honor of our country should not be permitted to last one hour beyond ibu Meeting of Congress, Tim longer an irredeemable ptipnr currency is permitted to eentjnuc, llto more.difficult becomes the resumption of pay ments in coin. Like Opium as you have very justly retunikod in your letter lo nit-, liio,dusy constantly requires doubling until prostration and death ensue. What wg may do this year in redeeming our country trqin this stupefying lethargy, may be como impossible the next ; until wo have Vixod upon us one of tho greatest curses that euti scourge u civilized community, an inconverti ble paper currency'. Wlteu this evil comes in its full potency, and [taper is rejected universally ns a legal tender by private creditors, as w ell ns that great public creditor, tlie Government, and tile Hherlfl' will take nothing but coin Cor his levies, then Revolution anil bloodshed are not long in the rear. It is in a period like this tliat the great authority lo which I have before referred, says “'That a man cun neither earn or buy n dinner without, n speculation. What lie receives in the morning will not have tlie same value at night What lie is compelled lo lake as ptiy fur an mid ilebl, will not lie received as the same when ;be comes to pay a debt contracted by himself, nor will it lie the same when by prompt payment lie would avoid contracting any debt at all. Indus try must wither away. Economy must ho driv. eu from your country. Careful provision will •have no existence. Who will labour without knowing the amount of his pay ? Who wtjl study to increase what none can estimate 1 Who will accumulate, when ho doss not know (lie value of wlmtjic gains'! If you abstract it frori) its uses, ill gaining lo accumulate your pa per wealth, it would be, not the providence of a man, but llto distempered instinct of a jack-daw.” This picture of the condition of (he currency in France, during her portentous revolution is the type of what in the process of lime must fie the state ofuur own, if the efforts of every man in (fie Country, who has the smallest influence adventitious or direct, is not strenuously applied our redemption from the dark calamity with which iFe are thieaU-nrd. The Banks in the principal commercial cities may do much lo bring about ttds desirable result, but without the cor dial co-operation of Govern meat, they can do nothing. Anxious that this aid ol (tovernrnent, should bs, afforded, I have referred with ~(( possible mo deration lo those topics ot exaspcrieiim (mt the tendency of which il is designed to fix oVm the past and present adminisUaiion, the entire [c , g . ponsiltillly of those disasters into which we hnv a been precipitated. I could have made this Idler redolent of sarcasm and vituperation against those in power. But my object was not lo say harsh tilings, to augment existing difficulties or Widen tlm breach already subsisting between tlie Government and tlie spporlcrs of your in stitution. L deemed it ltdtci in the spirit to bring the power of a matt of your eminent influence lo bear to accomplishing an cfl'eclivo remedy for tho evils under which wo tno suffering. 1 be lievc llto Government with yourself and a few of the leading Banks in the commercial cities of the Union can in a very short period alior the meeting of Congress, apply this remedy.'— Until' ih preference In a course of united aiid harmonious action of forbear,Hied, temperance and moderation the cllort should be made to ob tain an uncoinprislng and unqualified rc-cluter of a Bank of llto Uui ed States; if in preference lo looking singly to a euro of public calamities,, those in bppo-itioit should alone seek to convict 1 the present Administration of the exclusive guilt es bringing ruin on the Country, ami this offorf bn made (or the purpose of anointing some new can lid ile for tlie Presidency, depend upon it, from ibis convulsion of faction wo are destined lo pass through :i crisis the darkness of which no nmi cun estimate or foretell. I raiinol believe that tlie co-operation of the Executive of the Uni ted Slates, will bo whhheid in uniting on some Sale aiid practicable scheme fur relieving the Country from ilicso calamities. The crisis de mands (lint lie should rise above flic m-re tram mels iff put y. To this ho will bo impelled by ; those impulses of bis own ambition which must t ■find its aliment in flic safety honor and hsppi- ' ness rtf his Country , But in the work of remedy and conciliation, B your Institution may bn made the rallying point. Let us then leave no effort untried to accomplish a this result. On it depend llto Public Credit, t Honor, Peace and prosperity of our country. • In conclusion; 1 beg leave to subscribe myself “ with great esteem and consideration; Very respectfully.
