MR. CALHOUN, THE BUB TREASURY
SYSTEM, AC.
f Concluded.)
Tear correspondent denies that the principle*
•f tks M«U|t In** always been the prinri|Jfi
•f IHa Stale Right* men, and the Sub-Tteotury
at atom their system," ami “conaiders (ham di
rectly antagonistic*! to Slate Righu prinei(4«s.”
Ae already obaeiard, what be or 1 “consider," la
little to the purpose. Tlir question ia, what can
we prove, to conviction?—and ae this particular
eoualituiea the pith and marrow of the matter, I
mutt beg leave to trespass tome*hat farther on
year celumna, to submit seme portion of the evi
dence in aupport of my position.
Aa Mr. Clay, and o hereof-the- moat able and
influential members of the opposition hare de
clared, the only alternative ia between the Sub
Traaaury ayatnu an I a National Dank—ami aurh
it alavaye bae been, till the “experiment” of the
Tel Banka, which ia of recent invention,and now
aiplodcd, at leaal beyond the chance of permit,
naul exiatrncc or conaideralion—while the Suh-
Treaaury or katd money «y«lcm, in the worda of
Mr. Calhoun, “an far from (icing an cipcrimenl.
er tome new device, ia only returning to the old
inode of collecting and dithuraing public money,
which,for thousands of ycara,haa henu the practice
of all enlightened people till within the la*t centu
ry." Parties (in this country) wcre s fir*t formed
on this alternative, of a hard-mtney aystein or a
National Dank, in the Convention which ftaiaed
tha Cuiiatitution, aa will ha scan by re'crcnce to
the rccorda of that Convention—the old Federal,
now Whig, party, striving for a National Bank,
and repeatedly introducing, directly or indirectly,
clauses to empower (he chattering of one ; and
the Republican, now Stale Rights, patty, against
such an institution, and always defeating said
clauses. To place the mailer beyond all doubt,
clturct distinctly indicating such an institution,
and giving the power to incorporate generally
without any direct reference to a Dank, purlieu
latly, were severally offered and rejected —so tha*
congress clearly has no power to incorporate at
all, and of course not to incorporate a Banking
company. Moreover, for two years after the
adoption of the Conolilnlion, the Sub Treasury
or hard-money system was the one practiced by i
the Government, and therefore, ia, of c-oir-e, the 1
aystein of the Constitution. Vci, notwithstanding 1
all this, the old Federal or Whig parly, whiclt (
has ever opposed the Sovereignly of the Suites, (
and struggled to strengthen the Federal Govern- I
Dent against them, under (lie loose “general I
* I
welfare" notion, and a liberal construction of the |
Constitution, has ever contended for such an in- (
atitution, aided by the monied power of the conn- j
try—while the Republican or Stale Wights parly, v
true to their old faith, and contending for a strict ti
literal construction “f the constitution, have ss *
uniformly opposed it, a* unconsti utionul, inei- "
pedienl, and dangerous to lilicrly, and contended „
that the only constitutional currency is a hard n
money currency, under ivhal is now called the a
“Bub-Treasury syalsin:" And it ia well known
that Mr. Jarrsuson, “ lbs great Apotllo u( Lib- u
erty,” and lung the acknowledged head of that c
party, was uniformly and decidedly opposed to a 'J
National Dank, of any kind. "
Mr. Calhoph, in kia speech of I9lh September
last, dsclated that “ the Stale Kighta parly, at all y
limes, from the In-ginning of the Government to 1,
this day, haa hern opposed to a National Hank, as tr
unconstitutional, inexpedient, and dangerous;" *
and, ao far aa 1 have seen, no one has denied it—
nay, no ona will dare to do so. Doting theses- f(
sion of 1833 and ’4 he declared himself on the t
Buh-Trcssury or hard-money system, as follows:
“There i« no other alternative, 1 repeat* *
you must divorce the Government entire y I 1
from the Banking system, or if not, you are 11
bound to incorporate a Bank at the only safe 11
and efficient mean* of giving stability ami tint- 11
fortuity to the currency. And should the *
depusites not he restored, and the present il
legal and unconaiitnl.unal connection between J 1
the Executive anti lic league of Hanks con- '
linuo, 1 shall feel it my duty, if no 0110 else h
move*, to introduce a measure to prohibit "
Government from receiving or touching Dank 1
notes in any ahapo whatever, ns the only •
means left of giving safety and stability to the 1
currency, and saving the country from cor- >
ruption and ruin." v
In the September of the saute year, (183-4) v ’
Mr. I.xiuii of Virginia, a decided State Rights
man, whose cto-e intimacy with Mr. Calhoun is
wall known in Washington, and who I know s
messed with him in Ihst city during the session 1
of that year (1833-4) —in reply to a number of It
cilittns of Richmond, V*., who addressed a letter ‘j
to him, siiqniring “the true moaning” of a oet
lain passage in one of his sjieecues iu-lhc Batiste, j
and what would he his future course-towsrU the (
Bank of the United Htalcs, thus doefsros hiiusell 1
in faror of a hard-money or Suk-Ftrasury sys- >
I
tem: ,
“In my opinion, the framers of the conali- r
tutiun had no ttiought of any bank agency (
whatever, Statu or Federal, either for factli- j
Uting the operations ot tlie Treasury or for
regulating the currency; andthatlu administer
the Oovvrufflcnt in the true spirit ol the con
stitution and aecordisg to the intention ol its I
founders, the Treasury ought to ho divorced i
from ail connexion with banks. State or Fe- <
derai.” 1
“At the same time, I have no expectation (
that thia principle wdl ever bo acted on to its t
full extent. Tint friends ol the Slate Hanks,
(lie friends of a National Bank, and the sup- |
porters of the Executive claims to power, will
all combine agamat it.”
And again, in the next month (October) of th,
same year, in a speech dehvcied at a dinner 1
given him by the cilixcns of Petersburg. Mr.
Leigh dcclatcs himself in favor of that system, as
follows —and to similar is bis plan of carrying
out the details, that it would seem as though Mr.
Van Durcn must have had this extract before
him, when he penned hi* recommendation of
that system to Congress, three years afterward--
“Let a general Treasury office be establish
ed at the seat of Government, under the man
agement of a treasurer, and local Treasury
offices established in each of the St .tea, as
many as should be convenient, -jtidur tliu
management of assistant treasure eg; requiring
bond an ! security from the treasurer and ra
intant treasurers for the fait'itful performance
of tneir tru-t —let the revenue be deposited m
these offices as it should be collected—give
powcrlo the Secretary ot the Treasury to re
move redundant faiuU from one office to
another, where convenience should require
them to be disbursed—g ve power to Hie trea
surer to draw warrants on any office he should
think proper, guarding the power by suitable
and efficient chocks—make it ombezilembtit
and felony in him wilfully to issue any war
rant, except under authority of law, at the hid
ding of any parson whatever} and make it etn
leialement and felony in any assialani trea
aurer to ttao for hia own purposes, lend to
other*, or pay away any money, except to
warrants drawn by the treasurer* in due form
of law.”

1 into the Chronicle and Sentinel within a few

I now come to the introduction of this “Sub-
Treasury system," into Congress, by Mr. Gordon
and Mr. Roto-rlson, Mute Rights men, during
1 the session of 1831 ant* 5 ; and for n clear Ind
correct history of it, avail myself of the billowing
extract from the able article o( “/‘utricle Henry,"
No, I, in the Hr former of 11 th October instant :
“Viewing then this new scheme as but the
separatum of the Government (rum the
(Jinks, I shall proceed to show (hut it did
not, in fact, orgniatc wild Mr. Van Durcn. I
am prepared to show, by evidence not to lie
rebutted, tint 1* its origin it is a Wiiio
MCASL'RE !
From the Journal of the House ol Repre
scntal voa ot February lltli, 1835, the follow
ing extract is given :
“The Mouse resumed the consideration ol
the bill (No. 503) regulating tin: deposited of
the money olThc United Mutes in certain 10.
cal banks. Tin: question recurring upon mo
tion made by Mr. Robertson, that the said bill
be recommitted to 1 lie Coniinitlcu of Ways

SCItU THE HAM KAH TO DISPENSE WITH THE
AOENCT OR INH rUI MK VI AMTV OP HaNKH
IN THE FISCAL OPERATIONS OP THE GO
VERNMENT, THE VOTE STOOD—YEAH 1)1,
NAYS 115.”
1/-1 it be borne in mind that this proppaiiion
embodying the very essence of the sub Trea
sury system, was made by Mr. Robcrtssn, of
Virginia, an unyielding {Status Righu Wing.
Let it be remembered, ( slso, that the 91 voles
in the nffi-mative were almost without excep
tions Wings. Scarcely an adniinia'.ration
vote among the 01 affirmative, and scarcely
an opposition man among the 115 negative
vote*. Here then is tin.- strongest evidence
of the Whig palcrninily of Hie measure winch
wo are now so prune to condemn because 11
comes (n us in the form of a recommendation
from the present Executive and Ins par'y.
While the bill to regulate the depusites
of the public money in the local hanks was
under consideration, Gen. Gordon of Virgin
ia, a State Rights Whig, submitted, byway
of amendment to the hill reported by the
Committee of Ways nod Means, a short hill,
evidently prepared without much deliberation
or care, ihe principle of which was a separa
turn of he Government & hanks. A large par
ty in Congress, numbering almost the entire
Wing parly,considered the State Hank system
as tending greatly to increase Executive pat
ronage; as being unsale depositories ol the na
tional funds,and ns capable of being made the
instruments ofa powerful and dangerous po
litical influence. Whoever will take the
trouble to rend the debut vs on this subject,
will lind tins to be Ihe tram of argument em
ployed by the Wing speakers,while the reveise
was the course of reasoning of the friends of
the Administration, Hence the origin of Gen
Gordon's hill. The bill of Gen. Gordon, gotten
up in this way, unimproved by the suggestions
of friends, wanting entirely in details, was ol
moat necessarily defective. And ilwnstlns wont
nf details that rendered hm hill objectionable, 1
and gave occasion to Air. Robertson's propose ,
lion tu "commit the hill with the various amed
mend, to ike Committee if Ways ane. Means,
with instructions to report ihe best i-racti- I
cable plan of conducting the fiscal concerns j
if Ike Government without connecting it with ■
moneyed corpo'a/ions." This proposition of
Mr. Robertson, be it recollected, was submit- '
Led pending Ike discussion of den. Cordon's *
full, and hud necessarily relation to the defec
tiveness of the bill,for us the bill of Gen. G.con- ,
lained lire naked principleupon which Mr. R.
and all the Whig party were agreed,there was
no necessity to seek after any better plan, it 1
the bare principles, and net details, was all 1
required. In Irnlli, Gen, Gordon himself con
-0 de ed hit lull d«fsc!iv<'.
Such is the plum Inslory of this matter, 1
and from it, it is perfectly manifest that the 1
plan of dispensing with the agency of Hanks 1
in the fiscal operations of the Government is ,
01 Whig origin. It is essentially a Whig
measure. Mr. R’s motion was plain and un- '
ambiguous—it could not ho ntisnderslood.— 1
It embodied only the abstract proposition that I
n was expedient tu divorce the money and po
litical power ot the country, it was express- .
ly grounded, too, as before said, upon the ud- 1
mission that the bill of Gen. Gordon was do- 1
lective in ds details. It may he safely vs- <
sorted, therefore, that every member who vo.
tod for the re-oomtniitnoni with the instruct- .
lions moved by Mr. Robertson, would have
voted or any matured practicable plan which
would put asunder the Government ami the 1
Banks. 1
If lam correct in those positions, tins Whig 1
party hove sanctioned the Hob-Treasury ,
scheme, and they arc nl onoc relieved of all (
inducement as well as all pretext for condein-
ning it because now it comes to them ns a
measure of Executive recommendation. They '
did sanction the principle with almost period I
unanimity in 1835. If they condemn it in ]
1837, they will but desert their own cherish- ,
cd principles. They will expose themselves ,
most justly to the charge of inconsistency,
and they will find it extremely difficult to
vindicate themse ves before the people from
the grave imputation of abandoning their own
measure simply because they are enforced
by the recommendation of a particular Chid
Magistrate, and supported by his friends,”
The fallowing arc the Vent and .Vi tyo on the
motion of Mr, Robertson," to recommit Ihe bill
[the Administration bill, regulating the Deposits*
in the pet Hanks,] t» the Committee of If ays
and .Means with instructions to report the best
practicasle plan of conducting ihe fiscal
concerns nf the Government without runner
ting it with monied corporations."

now making will apply to almost all descriptions
of goods, and unless cotton farther recedes, or
holler prices he obtained, the parlies will bo plac
ed again in much difficulty.

OUITUARV.
Died, at the residence of his father in this
city, on the night of the 2Slh ult., Wesslet
Hojibv Esq,of Columbia , county, in the 31st
year of his age. Not only have the family and
immediate friends of Mr. Hobby been deeply af
flicted by ibis dispensation of Providence, but
society has sustained no ordinary loss.
Tlie high intellectual endowments, as well as
the extensive erudition of the deceased, excited
the admiration of all who knew him. He had
been a few years since admitted to the practice of
law in Ibis Htate. In Ibis profession, however,
irolwilbst nding Ihe vigorous character of his
minJ and his various acquirements, he seemed
out of Ihe sphere tor which nature had designed
him.
The early moral and religious (raining which
he had received, and his general fondness for all
literature, led him to investigate the theory of re
ligion, tnd the ditlerent systems of Christian faith.
The works of a certain eminent writer of our
own country hail no small influence in leading
him to adopt what he at that time thought the
“most rational view’’ of Christianity. With this
he contented himself for a while, though con.
scious throughout litis period, (as he subsequent
ly slated to the writer of this notice) that there
was something wanting in it.
During the present year, feeling the necessity
of some greater stimulant to moral action, he de
termined again to apply liim-cif to the inves* jea
lion of Christian doctrine. This led to an entire
abandonment of his former opinions, and to an
humble acknowledgement of the Supre me Divin
ity of our Savior.
Thus fully convinced of the trut'.i of revelation,
and almost persuaded to be a c’aristian,” he at
tended several religions meetings; atone’ol which
alter many an inward struggle, he made an open
confession of his errors—, ought alul obtalm ! d a
pardoning mercy of hu* Redeemer, and connected
himself with the MeVnodist Episcopal Church.
He came to this city chiefly to attend a religious
meeting which hud been looked forward to with
considerable interest—hut was seized with fever
previous to i,s commencement, and alter a violent
illness of ten days, expired. During his whole
illness his thoughts seemed occupied with ihe
goodness ol God to him in his recent a’.d hannv
conversion. 1
