BANK AND SUB-TREASURY.
THE BANK.
During the recent ctnvaas for Governor, the
Van Burnt preasra charged Mr, Gilmer, and Ilia
aupporlrrs with Icing United State* Dank men.
1 repelled the charge indignantly in behalf of Mr.
Gilmer, whose sentiments upon this head, I had
known so many years; and also in behalf of the
old State Rights parly of (icorgia with whose
opinions, I was dpi. illy familiar. Since '.lie
election, I love I.raid some whispers which
lead me to suspect that there were sonic few ol
the old Jeffersonian corps who were in favor of a
United Stales Dank; hut so very ainall ia the
nunihei, that I derm it unnecesraiy to address a
word In that party, with a view to confirming
llisin in their lung cherished opinions upon this
subject. I Iske it for granted, that lire great Irmly
of them, remain unchanged in any one article of
their political erred. Dut it ia not denied that
many of our aasuiiatusof the . htti-1 an Jturen
party are United Stales Bank men ; und to (lies*
1 address the following remarks.
The Bank* is now dead. Is it not belter to
let it sleep forever than to renew the commotions
which it invariably awoken* upon its resurrec
tion Y How long i. the peace of the country
'to be disturbed by it 1 It serins to me the
time Ira* come, when all partita should hr
’willing to throw their cudgils upon its ashes.
The advocates of a national hank have doubtless
. iiude up their opinions upon it long ago; hull
.earnrally entreat litem to reconsider their opin
ions, with art rye to the peculiar situation of the
country at this time.
First.—Let them rememlier that if they suc
ceed in establishing another bank, they establish
it forever. Os this lam as well convinced, a*
I can be of any future event. Hud General
Jackson overthrown the late bank in a constitu
tional way —had he made no attack upon it,until
it had lived, eut it* trim, and had hr thru crush
ed it by virtue of the power confided to him hy
the constitution ; I should (latter my sett, that
anothn hank might |i«rchanre he destroyed in
the same way. Dut his rush assault upon that
institution, and the series ol blunders to which it
immediately lead him, will confer life immortal
upon the hank that rises upon its ruins- Histo
ry will tell of the assault, of the uproar which it
occasioned, of the rapid decline of the Jackson
patty afterwards, ol the ruined State of the cur
rency,of the wide spread distress and the ro-rslah
lishmsnt of the hank. And here she will atop ;
for it is Iter practice whatever may lie her duty,
to record only prominent events. She will not
I*ll that among those who swelled the uproar was
a strong phsUnx of law-abiding men, who were
aa hostile to the hank as General Jaek.on him
self. She will nut enquire whether suv disas
ters would have followed the down-fall of the
bank had it been suffered to die a natural
death. Mbr will skip the short space of lime
which intervenes between the attack and the dis
tress, and in which the country flourished as he*
for*. She will hardly notice the s|>ccie projects—
the and most efficient causes of the
general calamity. She will not be at the pain #
of tracing out all the commercial relations, com.
binations, and dependencies, which may hove
conspired to give the shock to the currency, aa
unnatural effect. She will overlook a thousand
little circumstances which have had their inflii.
rare in the pressure,and' which have no connec
tion with (be hank. The short moral of her sto‘
ry will be this: “The Government cannot ex.
ial without a hank. To overthrow a bank, is to
bring universal distress upon the country. The
people will have a bank in spile of President or
Congress.'' And there will stand the new bank
a monumental voucher of the truth of her story
What a triumph will it he over the government!
With this moral hulwatk around it, and with the
money and the credit of the nation in its power
■there will he found the arm strong enough, to
Overthrow the next bank’
Let it be remembered then by all parties, tha (
If we charter a naliuuat hank now, we charter it
f ol ib* term of our national eiistenre. Let us
rememlier, that me of this day and generation
have hut a very small interest in it. If it be fits
Ep good our children take the blessing: ii it lie for
• . osil, owf'elrildswj Imar the curse. Tho race that
‘discussed the subject twenty years ago are now
in their tombs* sail all the race that now di-cuss
it will soon ‘be hy their aide. We certainly
should weigh well the measure upon which vvr
fl .t* the happiness of our posterity.
When it ia remembered how fearful the staler
were of the powers which they confided to tlv
general government, the extreme caution with
which they defined (boar powers, and that they
erprcaaly refuted to give Congreaa the powvi
ofnfoftiinf «r/arnhsrA«-ei.y on. will U «■

A «r
%
cuorJ for questioning the sutiunhy of Congress
to establish a bank. I know that Congress Iras
’wire eierciscd the sulliorily, and 1 also know,
that in neither instance, was the act a fair teat of
the judgment of Congrea>,'cvrn aa to it* legitima
cy. There arc limes when whole communities
connive at open violations of law, a'd flagraii*
assumption* ol (tower; and much ofirmer is it
the case, that rulers transcend the known limit*
of their authority, in order to meet the exigen
cies of the country. At this moment, if you go
to a bank anil demand payment of one of its
notes, you will be re|iellrd from it* door, by its
servants, as indignantly as though you went to
a,k indulgence upon your note: and yet this con
duct try a (.auk in Georgia, ia a forfeiture of its
charter, and expose* it* officer* to imprisonment
in lb* penitentiary. And when the bank* nf the
United Mtstee were chartered, so loud were the
cries of distress from the government and the
(reople, that congress could hardly listen to sng'
grslion* of reason, or the dictates of judgment-
Mr. Calhoun in his last s|reech, give* ua an on.
•odote, strikingly illustrative of the influence o|
circumstances upon the Judgment of congress-
During the war, a honk was proposed to that Irody
as a measure «>f relief to the country. Mt. Cal
houn opposed it, and staled to the majority whom
he knew from public conferences, were deter
mined to pass it, that they were going against
their own solemn convictions; anil that if the
new* of peace should then arrive (which no
one dreamed ofj the bill then liefote tlrcrn would
not receive fifteen void. Il so happened that
just os the hill was about to he put on il»
passage, news of pcsee did arrive and the hil'
was lost hy a overwhelming vole. I take up
the anucedole where Mr. Calhoun left it, in
order lo show the condition of the country at that
lime. Mr. Calhoun offered hia long loved Trea
sury scheme a* a substitute for Ihd bank. This
brought down upon him, Mr. Hanson of Mary
land, who was a violent oppoaor of the war, and
who considered Mr. Calhoun the leading spirit of
the war patty. Mr. Hanson after denouncing
the Treasury project, look occasion lo speak of |
< the consequence, of the war; and among other j
j things slated, that the Government wav actually i
I unable lo pay its « tationary bill*; and that of
j his ovn personal knowledge the Treasury could
not rnccl a draft upon il for thirty ,/ive dollar*.
These statements, so fur ns I know or believe,
weic not disputed. I’e-acc ca ne, hut lltu
sufferings of the country continued; and the
next year the Dank of the United Stales was
cliurlcr.il. Ma e distressing if possible, were the
limes, when the Dank of America was incorpo
rated. And yd, even in More lime*, a very
strong party oppoed those institutions, upon con
stitutional grounds. Charters grunted under such
cirrumstanecs, nr« hut very poor proofs of the
honest opinions of the body that grained; ami no
proof at all, that if they were constitutional then
they would he constitutional rime—a startling
|H»iiioti, which we will endeavor to make good
hereafter. Doth those banks were put down by
the vole of Congress in belter times am) two
Presidents have concurred in the opinion that j
they were unconstitutional establishment*. All j
that I wish la deduce from these laels for the pre
sent, is, that il is really a question of doubt,
whether Congress hath or hath not tho power lo '
charter a bank. Now I ask, why do the people
desire lo encourage Congress in the exercise of
duiibljiil powots? What good do they jiromisc
themselves front it! It is a singular ami instruc
tive truth, that almost all the agitations of the
country, have bee* occasioned by the exercise of
doubtful powers by some one of the departments
of Government. So long ns they keep within the
plain letter of the consitilutinn, all Is peace and
harmony mid good fellowship, between the slates
ami the people; but the moment they step upon
questionable ground, trouble begins, and disasters
fellow. An example or two in haste—First rose the
bank question, of which we shall speak present.
|y—Then came the doubt whether the President
could remove officers without llte consent of the
•Senate. It was decided lli.it ho could—and he
ha* used the power with a vengeance. Then rose
a doubt whether Congress could make highways
through tho Mules. It was settled that they could;
and the Cumberland road is a monument of this
power. Then came the question, can Congicss
lax the people to build up manufactures. Il was
ruled in the affirmative, and the tariff' was the
print. Next rose a question whether tho Presi
dent might not locale the public funds. It was
adjudged that he could,and the pet batiks, arc the
consequence. Now the question is up whether
Congres* may not abolish slavery in the District
of Columbia. It will bo ruled in the affirmative
of course, for Conjgrese never decides long against
itself and then no one can tell what will follow.
1 leave the reader lo fill up this outline with all
. the minor questions, disputes,troubles, heartburn
, itigs dangers, difficulties, and oppressions which
belong to il. Now I challenge friend and foe,
to name the instance, in which the first whisper
of complaint was ever breathed in all this wide
I stretched country at any act of President or Can
gross, within the plain, undeniable scope of their
powers. Can il be possible that the people will
not learn wisdom from these lessons ! Arc old
opinions so inveterate, or parly fooling so strong
that they cannot bo overcome by the solemn
teachings of expeiieuoo !
s I withdraw the bank question from the above
• catalogue because il is the question under discus
* <ion, b«l more particularly, because if there be
B an exception to the proposition which 1 was
enforcing by those examples, the acts of Congres.
'• chartering the Dank*, arc exceptions. It will be
'' seen a* we proceed, that instead ol'being excep
' tiona they furnish the most beautiful and impu
- sing illustrations of the posi'ion.
9 Doth the national banks of which we hav v
r spoken werejchirlered by virtue of that clause of
lr the constitution which empowers congress to pass
l ' all laws “tit-cerrsrj und propet ” far carrying the
!< power, previously given into effect. This clause
■ has ever been, and ever will he fruitful of eonlro
e versy. So dim and shadowy is the line, tbal
r , divide* nrrrnitjf from utility, und propriety liom
° policy, that hardly any two men wi I agree, ns
to its precise location. Dut nil will agree, that in
>t point of Jart, il hath a fixed and certain location,
it and it is easy, by receding from il, to find a point,
is at which all men will agree that they ate on the
n same side of it. If the United Slates, were
« coerced by the fortunes of war lo engage by
tr treaty, to pay tribute to « foreign Prince, in
d United Slate* Hank draft* : it would rertain-.
*' |y be constitutional in Congress to make a bunk
rs to issue tlrese drafts : because such a bank would
y |« tierettary ami proper, lo carry the treaty into
e effect. Rut if Congress should chatter a batik
fur the purpose of adraneing the interests of the
’* merchants of Nrw York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
*' or Uustonal would he obviously unconstitutional
whatever parade of necessity Congress might
y , mike rutUa chaster ; for no power is given to

Unneres-ary ; fur without it, it would have I wen
conceded on *ll hand*, lint Congress might
have exercised any powera indiapenaihlc to the
uae of thoae eiprcialy given. But it waa msist
ml from abundant camion, to reatrain the diacre
tioti ol Congress; anil Congreaa baa turned
•I ireclly against ilaelt. Indeed they have made
it abrogate the whole conatitulion, and clothe
them with unlimited authority. a
We have acen, that when the two Banka were
charte.ed hy Congreaa, the Government waa
bankrupt, and the count'y waa in the deepeat
dialrcaa. Now had not the ConveWlion who
framed the Conatitulion, exprassly refuaed to
admit in it a clauae authorising Congreaa to
create corporations, and were there no ohjec.
dutiable clauaea in the acta of incorporation, I
should say,that uti ler the circumstances,both those
banks were constitutionally chartered. Certain
ly. they have more to plead in behalf of their
limn any other creatures of doubtful
origin that have been engendered by Congress,
before or since. They were nlmotl conatitution
lional In aay the least of them. Congress was
hound to sustain the Government and pay its
debts, and it had not the means of doing either.
To perform these obligations they cr- ale a trank.
So far, well enough. But to got this hank in
operation, they unite with the Government a
number of individuals upon joint slock - Not
quite so well. The individuals will not work
without an interest in the establishment, and
Congress allows them to traffic, in notes, stocks,
Ac. The whole arc incorporated, A. the individu
als arc immediately raised to all the dignity rank
privilcdgcs and immunities of the Government.
They put olTtheir trading shops in every Stale,
( and no Sla'e can toucll them, or the slack In
I trade which they continue. Palpably unean-tl
lu'ional to my mind, To carry what power inio
effect, was it necessary then to dignify and sanc
tify these men!
Now wc shall see, lint just so far as the ne
cessities of government entered into the constitu
tion us these Banks, they worked udmiiahly, end
fully answered till the ends of their creation.
And just so fur as the interests of private citizens
were interwoven in their frame work, they work
ed abominably. BALDWIN.

THEATRE.
Mr. and Miss Cooper made their first appear
ance list night, and were greeted with an unusu
ally large and fashionable audience, who, to
judge from their close attention and frequent
bursts of applause were equally gratified with
a line Id The play was the Gamester, and to say
tint the unfortunate Beverly was ably represent
ed by Mr. Cooper, would he to repeat what every
body knows. For who that visits the Theatre,
has nut seen Mr. Caspers Beverly, and who that
can appreciate good playing, does not pionouncc
his personification of that character among the
best piccos/if acting they ever witnessed. Miss
Cooper was not less successful in Mis. Beverly,
in which character she is believed to have few
equals, any where. Mr. Jackson’s Stukely was,
like all the performances of that gentleman a faith
ful representation of the character. In the after
piece Mr. McCutchcon, as Felix,gave general sat
isfaction.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Oct. 28.
The following is a list us the principal chiefs

Vose-ha bola, is the true Indian appellation,
as given by ibo inlerpieter, us the noted chief
Powcl.
The capture of these chiefs has hy no means
increased the friendly feelings us the Indians
tuwatds us. It is generally expected that there
will he some hard fighting, and that they will lie
■endeicd more desperate than ever. Even those
now in out hands seem to doubt that they will
tie sent out of the country, as we have been in.
formed.
On Monday, 39 Indians, squaws, and negroes,
were captured near fort Peyton and brought to
town, on Wednesday a I'iniilv of five Indians
were taken. These are probably the last of the
retinue of those chiefs wi.o came to bold the “talk”
! They gave no iiifo inalkxi «f any others coming
in. There are now 147 Indians and negroes pi i
soners confined in the foil.
