Let me not be I understood, Mr. President, as drawing any compari son between the conduct of the State of South Ca rolina and the conduct of great and leading Stales who. have acted otherwise ; but I must and will tell of the things that I do know 1 rejoice , sir, that the State that I come from has, in this instance, been actuated by that magnanimity and patriotism which on all former occasions has distinguished her con duct; that m^her selfishness , nor party rage, nor a spirit of intolerance, has induced hor to counteract or embarrass the national Legislature, in its pursuit of the great object of its institution, the good of the whole. " 1 hope it will not be considered as savoring of egotism when I say, that my appointment to the ve ry honorable, station I now hold was unsolicited by -me. That my sentiments on the subject now under ?consideration had been , by me., unequivocally expressed the Jast .session of Congress, and were well known 'to those toko appovited me;* nay, further, after my -venerable and respected predecessor (Gen.

It is not our intention to offer a defepce of Mr. Preston^ political course, for the plain reason that it stands in no need of defence. It is notorious, and no^one will pretend to deny it, that Mr. Preston has .not changed a single relation with. the administration, or with political individuals, since the first day he took his-ffeat in the Senate, until the: pre sent. He has stood firm and unchanged, upon the^ principles upon which, and for which, he was elected, whilst his denunciators have changed, and deserted both the principles that were then held sacred in the State : and Mr. Preston, in what then ha9 he offended? The answer is, for standing firmly to the trust reposed in him ; it is for this treachery and corruption that he is now denounced ! Does he then stand in need of defence ? Most assuredly not ; and we would scorn to attempt it. Common sense teaches, it is by change of principles that men show their ve pality and corruption, and not by standing firm. Men often corrupted, change their principles for the rewards of office and hon or; but standing firm and consistent is gen erally esteemed a mark of integrity. Mr. Preston's case is a most singular anomaly in the history of public men. It is, indeed, a monstrosity in political morality ; and when the sense of justice in the community shall awaken and become apprised of the true na ture of the question, we are much mistaken if his denunciators will not have cause to hide their heads in shame and confusion. But whilst we scorn to offer any defence of-Mr. Preston's consistent and undeviating course, we would civilly ask Mr. Rhett if he has one tittle of evidence in proof of his sweeping averments. He did not con descend to offer any in his speech, and there fore it is fair to infer he had none. He al Inded, indeed, to a new piess that had been established in Washington, with the avow ed purpose of supported Mr. Clay as Pre sident, and Mr. Preston as Vice-President. But is this sufficient proof upon which to found the allegation, that Mr. Preston has '?joined a party hostile to the State," and enlisted under the Clay standard ? Now we ask, is there any shadow of proof or rea son to believe that Mr. Preston was ever consulted on the subject of this press, or its objects ? -We will venture to assert he never was. The friends of^Clay, doubtless, wish to^strengthen his interest, and will try many. cxped i e n ts for that purpose : and this, pern^s." may be one; or it may be that those editors are honestly desirous of seeing ^^fe?eston Vice-President.

But when upon full, examination and reflection, they find that the sub-Treasury scheme is utter ly unfitted and incapable of effecting even an appipach towards the consummation of that object;, they will then see the futility of the scheme and its objectionable features j jn:tfreir fall forced " They wijl tbep see the folly, nay ! tbc madness of waking the monstrous sacrifice of reducing the pri ces of everv spocies of property to a hard money standard; and of pcrpetuatiug a con fusion of the currency of the country preg nant with interminable evils, for no othec conceivable purpose but to gratify Van Bu ren's lust of power. The Chronicle and the Globe, and all the Van Buren and Calhoun presses are toiling by night and by day to make us believe that the sub- Treasury scheme is actually a divorcement of banks and go vernment. But readers, only pause and re flect, and see if by any powers of the un derstanding you can discover the slightest affinity between them: or how by any ima ginable operation the sub-Treasury plan c an lead to the divorce. As the sub-treasury bill has gone from the Senate the hard mo ney feature is wholly stricken out by an i overwhelming majority*, and even with Mr. Calhoun's hard money feature in it, there is a provision that the government shall re ceive and deal in bank paper as herefore, to the amount of about live-sixths of the whole revenue. Does this, think ye, look like a j dnorce of banks and government ? Or rath er is it not clearly a re-marriage cherished by a new and due proccss of law ? Away with the sub-Treasury plan. It is intended no where but as a means for the increase of the patronage and power of V an Buren ; and in South Carolina it is only used by the ini tiated for the purpose of covertly attaching the State to the car of that ambitious indi vidual in the next election.

Mr. Calhoun 1ms recently been named as a candidate for the Presidency, by the Mercury? is this a proof, al though from a paper evidently in his interest, that Mr. Calhoun haB made up his mind to oppose Van Buren ?

"1 belong to the State Rights party, which, at all times, from the beginning of the Government to this day, has been opposed to such an institution, [the U. S. Bank,] as unconstitutional, inexpedient, and dangerous " ? Mr. Calhoun's Speech in the V. S. Sen ate , Sept ., 1837. At the 2d session of the 13th Congress, on j the 4th of February, 1814, Mr. Calhoun pro posed the following resolution : ? 14 Resolved , That the Committee of Ways and Means be instructed to inquire into the expediency of establishing a National Bank, to be located in the District of Columbia." On the 19th the Committee, through their Chairman, (Mr. Taylor, of New York,) re ported a bill in conformity to this resolution, proposing the establishment of a bank, with a capital of 30 millions, in the city of Wash ington; upon which it does not appear that any action was had. On the 2d April, 1814, JVlr. Grundy submitted a resolution, 44 That a committee be appointed to inquire into the "expediency 6f estab' shing a National Bank; and that they hav. .cave to report, by bill or otherwise.".*- -On the 4th of April, on the mo tion to postpone indefinitely this resolution of Mr. Grundy, Mr. Calhoun voted in die ne gative, and the House, by 80 to 71, decided Against postponement. Upon the committee ^Scarry it into, effect, Mr. Calhoun's name is third.

On- the 17th bis amendment was adopted by a majority of 60 votes. On the 19th Mr. Lowndes offered a resolution 44 to reduce the capital of the bank from fifty to thirty-five millions of dollars u Mr. Cai houn opposed the motion with much zeal motion lost. " On the 25th he said, 44 As he w&s extremely anxious that the bapk should be established, he should be averse to thrpw ing toy obstacle jri the way of the practica bility of the measure, and would therefore heartily assent to the motion for r^cototnit rnent." Ou the 23ih be again defended the bill against the objections of Mr. Hansen, voted in the affirmative on the question of its being engrossed for a third reading, and, on j the motion for its engrossment being re- | jected, 104 to 49, moved to print the letter of ! Mr. Secretary D.UIas, of the 27th, to the j Committee of Ways a?id Means, the strong , objections iu which to Treasury notes caused , the rejection of the bill. On the third of Ja- I nuary, 1815, a motion to reconsider the bill j was carried, 107 to 54, and the bill finally j passed the lower House on the 7th o! the j same month, with Mr. Calhoun'tf vote in the affirmative. On the 98th of January it pass ed the Senate, and on the 30th was vetoed by Mr. Madison. It is worthy of remark, that, pursuing the course ol Mr. Dallas, in his veto, the President treats the constitu tional question as settled ; and the coinci dence between his language at that date (30th Jan., 1 815) and that of Mr. Calhoun (26th Feb., 1816) is so srriking, that a short ex tract from the veto of the one and the speech of the other will hardly be deemed imperti nent. " Waiving (says Mr. Madison) the question of the constitutional authority of the Legislature to establish an incorporated bank, as being precluded, in my judgment, by repeated recognitions, under varied cir cumstances, of the validity of such an insti tution, in acts of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the government, ac companied by indications, in different modes, j of a concurrence of the general will of the nation," &c. While Mr. Calhoun, echoing this sentiment, savs, eleven months after, in his speech, that 44 he did not propose lo com prehend in Oils discussion the power of Con gress to propose bank charters , nor the ques tion, &c. &c. To discuss these questions he conceives would be an useless con sumption of time." This was upon his motion to proceed to the consideration of the National Bank bill, introduced by him, as chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, on the 8th of the same month, and which in the course of his speech he vindi cated with all the zeal of paternity, in a most elaborate argument, which exhausted the subject. He continued throughout to com bat all objections made in the progress of its discussion, and to defend it by speeches and votes, to the day of its passage through the House, on the 14th March, 1816, the only vote against it from South Carolina being that of Mr. May rant. After having been passed by the Senate and returned to the House, ou the 5th of April Mr. Randolph moved its indefinite postponement, upon the ground distinctly that it was 44 unconstitu tional, inexpedient, and dangerous Mr. Calhoun defended it, and the same day we find his vote recorded against its indefinite postponement." The bill was approved by President Madison on the 10th April, 1816, and constituted the late charter of the Bank of the United States. The more recent acts and opinions of this gentleman need not be traced through such a labyrinth of detail ^ and in any other part of this country, or in reference to the course of any other states man, such protracted and minute analysis would have been unnecessary. From Feb ruary, 1814, when be was the first to 14 set the -ball in motion," till April, 1816, when he was the last .to7 abandon jt, through a pro tracted struggle of, upwards of two years, whether the bank was attacked upon princi ple or upon detail, ile - was in the ring^and upon his feet. .
