government. I preferred then, as I do now, the latter to the former/' ice. After the late overwhelming vote against the recousideia tion of l he rejected Independent Treasury bill, I appeal to Mr. Calhoun, in the spirit of frankness, to say what now is the remain ing " alternative ?" If he do not see it now, the coming fall elections will convince him, and I shall call upon him to return to his aneient allegiance, to his early and first love, a Bank of the United States. This is the remedy which I promised- in my last to sug gest for a currency variously depreciated ; and I call upon Mr. Calhoun to witness that it is both efficient and safe. In his speech on the removal of the deposites, 13th Janua ry, 1834, he says : " The Bank has been an indispensable agent in the restoration of spe cie payments ; ^without it the restoration could not have been effected, short (f the ut ter "prostration of all the moneyed institutions of the country" (and, of course , through them, of their debtors ,) " and an eatire depreciation ?of bank paper ; and it has not "only restored specie payments, but has given a currency far more uniform between the extremes of the country than was anticipated or even dreamed of at the time of i*s creation. I ^will say for mysetf, that I did not believe at that time that the exchanges between the At lantic and the West would be brought lower than two and a half per cent., the estimated expense then, including insurance and loss of time, of transporting specie between the two points. How much it was below the anticipated point, I need not now state ; the whole commercial world knows that it was not a fourth part at the time of the removal of the deposites." May I be pardoned for adding to this the testimony of a man of the best founded financial reputation in the coun try after Mr. Gallatin ? In his repot t of the 3d April, 1829, on so much of President Jackson's message as related to the Bank, and in answer to tbat portion of it which ex presses the opinion " that it had failed in the great end of establishing a uniform and sound currency," Mr. McDuffie says : " It now re mains to show its effects in equalizing the currency. In this respect it has been pro ductive of results more salutary than were anticipated by the most sanguine advocates of the policy of establishing a Bank. It has actually furnished a circulating medium more uniform than speme The most dexterous advocate with whom I am acquainted, when he proved his case by incontestible evidence, was in the habit of submitting it without re mark to the jury ; and upon the fiscal action of this institution, I put myself upon my country without comment. Here are wit nesses enough to convict upon a prosecution for treason, and the evidence of one of whom it is treason to question , at least in South Ca roiiua. I wHl not repeat what I have already said of Mr. Calhoun's opinions on the constitu tionality of a bank. In his own most empha tic language, to do so would be " a Useless consumption of time." Mr. McDuffie's argument, analyzed, is in substance, that Congress has an equal right, under the Constitution, to make convertible paper money, as to make gold bars money, under the power u to coin money and regu late the value thereof," the one being as much coined as the other; that the won! " coin," as used iu the Constitution, means currency; and the power to regulate its val ue, is a power to regulate the circulating medium of the country, it being the opinion at the adoption of the Constitution that 44 bank notes conld, only be maintained in circulation, by beingsthe true representatives of the precious metalsV' Mr. Dallas's opin ion I have already adverted to, that this point should be regarded " for ever settled and at rest."' Without subscribing entirely to ei ther, it is enough to agree with Mh Madi son, that the constitutional question should be regarded " precluded" by solemn and " repeated adjudication." When the appro priate tribunals, " legis' 'tive, executive, and judicial," have furnished ah Unbroken cur rent of authority, from 171)1 till 1838, in fa vor of such an institution, it is time, in the language of Mr. Dallas, for " private judg ment to acquiesce.'1 If the power ,be not ad judicated and settled , it newr will or can be ; ? nor can any other power of a derivative go v ernment , " not plainly expressed in the instru ment and upon this ground I take my stand, ?with a clear, established, and confident con viction, entertained and openly expressed since the explosion in May, 1837, that a ge neral bank is the only safe means of equali zing the exchanges, and restoring to the country a sound and ultimately convertible paper, of uniform value at all points. In stantaneous convertibility is no more a test of -solvency in a bank than in an individual, and is neither compatible with an organization of bank credits, nor desirable under the rever sed motion of the currency produced by tpanic. I feel that in daring to entertain and ex press this opinion, I shall incur what has :been most gently termed (but strongly used) 44 the moral influence'* of denunciation,; and that I shali^?-?old, as the honorable J. Smith Rhett would say, " icith the authority of a pa rent," that I am " pursuing a course injuri ous to the welfare and prosperity of the State /" Let me warn the honorable Senator who re presents the parish bearing the name of our blessed Redeemer, (the ancient parish of Christ Church,) to beware, in the parental chastenings he inflicts, lest, to employ the language of Mr. Burke, he 44 whip on my vicarious back" the transgressions of a more j illustrious offender.
