without the risk of an- additional guarantee by him, and one which circulates at par "as money current with the merchant." In a word, the choice is between a paper ulti mately secure, but uncurrent and without credit, and one equally secure with the addi tional advantage of being current in the purchase of property or in the payment of 1 debts. And this is the paper which the drawer of the note asks the* Banks to give him in return for his own> in order to pay his debts or to enter the market as a purcha- ] ser ; and it seems that the banks in acce ding to the request, and thus incurring the risk of having their paper returned upon then* daily for redemption, (or depreciation and discredit on failure to redeem) have per petrated this most atrocious outrage of char ging six per cent! "This is the head and front of their offending ? no more !" It seems that upon these grave and (as it is to be believed, now apparent) well found ed charges, these institutions are to be " nn banked." "Perish credit," say the mob, *nd " perish credit," says their leader ! May I be pardoned for bestowing a passing notice 'upon this proposed corrective of a pretend ed evil ? A Bank is the mere centre of a ?circle of indebtedness. For all its notes in tifculation, and for a large surplus beside, the community'are its debtors. If the ope ration of " unbanking" be attempted upon the Bank, it is compelled in self-defence to " unbank," in turn, the merchant who is its chief customer, and he, in struggling to sus tain himself, is driven to have recourse to every customer upon his ledger; so that the measure of responsibility adjudged to the Bank, in the first instance, is, in the end, me ted out to "an un-banked and bankrupted community ! The process of compelling a redemption in coins of the obligations of a community much extended, would work a devastation more terrible than the descent of Hyder AJi upon the Carnatic. The coun try would be literally brought Under the hoo& of the barbarian's horse, which not only destroyed the herbage in which the earth was clothed, but inflicted a perpetual sterility upon the soil ! God avert the fal ling of this ill-omened blight ! m But the doctrine is, that if you open the gates wide enough for both Philip and his Ass to enter, all will be well. Yes, de so, and when you have disburdened the animal of his precious treasure, do not omit to look up into his most sapient face, that you may see the light of your own countenances faithfully and truly reflected. NAKED TRUTH. Mr. Editor : ? I have read with deeply mortified feelings, the letter of Mr. Calhoun, declining to ac cept the invitation which our citizens polite- j ly extended to him, to attend a barbecue j dinner given to our Senator Mr. Preston, I and other members- of Congress on their; return from Washington, a few weeks since. The ground upon which he declines to accept the invitation is, that as he and Mr. Presto differed in opimoo upon .the question of the sub-Treasury, and -as the dinner was intended as a compliment to Mr. Preston, he (Mr. Calhoun) could not attend it without M condemning and dishonoring his own course." Really, this is ^he mosi ab horrent instance of intolerance with which my reading furnishes me ? and I veature ro assert, that in the history of politics and of political men in this or any other country, a parallel cannot be found. Is Mr. Calhoun so pure and iramaqplate that he cannot breathe without taint and pollutiou the at mosphere of his political opponents? Veri ly, this man is not oulv virtuous but is de termined to occupy, ground which places him above suspicion. Mr. Calhoun will ad mit that there are civil people of all parties in the vicinity of Columbia ? aucl may not civil people of different political sentiments commingle in social intercourse, whether this social intercourse be at a public dinner or at a gentleman's private table, without mutual roproach and dishonor f without condemn- j ing and dishonoring the political opinions of each other ? * Strange delicacy this ? indeed a piece of political prudery, foolish, and ri diculous in the extreme. But I ask, was this dinner got up hv the political friends of Col. Preston exclusively ? Was there any .thing in the letter of the Committee to Mr. Calhoun, which authorized him to come to ?that conclusion ? Nothing. The dinner was ; got up by the unanimous consent of all par ties in Richland District. The whole com munity ? the political friends and opponents <*fTTor. Preston ? sub-Treasury men, and an ti-sub-Treasury men, joined in this tribute -of respect to our distinguished Senator and 44 other members of Congress" ? and to him who had opposed the Van Buren sub-Trea sury scheme, and to those who had advoca ted it, it was alike an opportunity of vindi- ! Ration and defence. The candidates for the Legislature from Richland on both sides were present ? Mr. Rhett was there. So then, the pinner was not got up by one party exclu sively ? was not attended by one party ex clusively, -but by all parties promiscuously ; and as a joint affair must be regarded rather -as a personal than a political compliment to Mr. Preston and 44 other members of Con gress." The great boxers and knockers-down *>n both sides were present ? and Mr. Cal houn, the boxer-general of the sub-Treasu ry party, was most especially invited and de sired to be present. Under this state of facts I must be permitted to say, while I do not .find fault with Mr. Calhoun for declining to attend our dinner, yet that his reasons for refusing to accept the compilment so polite Jy tendered to him, are strange and explica- | Jble, unless what I shall say in the sequel for ihe purpose of explanation prove satisfactory. And how Mr. Calhoun under ^ihis state of /acts coufrf so far forget himself as to declare jabat i Basra ucfc as the dinner was a party af fair and irilendfed to be Complimentary to Mr. Preston and- his politics it would be foul condemnation and dishonor of his political principles for him to atttend it, is utterly unaccountable to a fair and honest mind. I wotrt&ask if Mr* Calhoun is still a nullifier? {Some of us were nullifiers before him.) Does he intend to abide the fate of that doc trine and its advocates ? If so, how Jong since Mr. Calhoun has deemed it pollution and dishonor to be found partaking of the proffered hospitality of the glorious nullifiers of Richland District, from whence first issu ed a voice in favor of the great conserva tive principle of nullification ? How longj since, Mr. Editor? It will choke Mr. Cal houn and his friends to answer me fairly and truly. Much is said in this remarkable let- 1 ter about union, the union of the South, and especially union in South Carolina. Upon this part of the letter your comments of the 11th inst. are entirely just and met with my prompt approval. Permit me to add that in my opinion, the reasons assigned by Mr. Calhoun for declining to attend this dinner would effect any thing in this World as soon as a union of feeling and sentiment in South, Carolina on the great political questions of the day. The reasons are alike repul$hre for their personal hate and malignity and their uncompromising proscrip.ion and in tolerance. Is it likely to be a very success ful mode of. proselyting to declare that it would be foul condemnation and dishonor to ' meet your opponents in the open field of fair and sober argument ? How is informa tion to be obtained and how is light to be diffused upon the important political sub jects of the day by any bette* means than by calm and deliberate discttssion 1 Bring great minds into collision on great questions difficult of solution, and light will break in upon the darkness, and truth will be struck out with overpowering effect. The position taken by Mr. Calhoun however, discards this idea, and he declares that any contact with his political opponents would engender foul dishonor and disgrace. But futtfaer,let me permit Mr. Calhoun to exercise his owi^ " rightful independence of judgment" in set tling the propriety or impropriety of accept ing the invitation? yet I would ask is he at liberty to make the occasion of this invita tion an occasion for pouring out his denun ciations against every one who perchance may oppose his politics? and to call upon his party, which he knows to be in the as cendant, to tear down into the dust that par ty in the minority which has uttered a voice of dissent from the great thinker for South Carolina ? I take the liberty to say that this | feature of Mf. Calhoun's letter, is intoler ant and proscriptive beyond any thing with which I have met in the history of proud and ambitious men. Look at this letter again I call upon pjy countrymen to examine and dissect it minutely, and if there be not de tected in it a>4ark and blasting spirit of per secuting intolerance and proscription, which demands a sacrifice of all opinions to the opinions of one man, I will admit that I am < bliod and cannot see. If not, why utter the f sentiment that he. could not meet with as on the festival .occasion alluded to, where - were to be found men of all parties in poli | tics, got up to do personal rather than politi cal honor to our distinguished public func tionaries from Washington, without disgrace and dishonor to his principles and his course. Mr. Calhoun is a man of unsurpassed a bilties? has been for a long time connected with federal- politics, and has established him self in some sort as a standard by which all other men in South Carolina are to be mea sured. He has all his life been the leader of a party in the government, no matter to what party he may for the time have attach ed himself; and now occupies the position of the leader of the sub-Treasury party in this State, and to his will and pleasure that party are blindly submissive and subservient. Did he not know full well when this letter was written, that he had but to issue his mandate ? that he had but to say to his par ty, attend no barbecues, where you will likely hear opinions contrary to the lessons which I have taught you ? listen to no speech es against the sub-Treasury ? take no part in a ny? festivals where any honor is intended to be bestowed upon distinguished men oppos ed to my opinions and to your opinions on this great question; for if you do, you con demn and dishonor yourselves and your prin ciples. I ask, Mr. Editor, did he not know that he had but to issue his mandate to be obeyed? Undoubtedly. And is this a mildness ? a toleration and forbearance on the part of Mr. Calhoun calculated to soften down the as perities of pacty feeling ? to make converts to his. ckfctrine, apd bring about that peace and umoUr in South Carolina so important to her and ft) the whole South ? I think not. But Mr. Calhoun desires peace and union? up on what terms ? I will tell you ; peace and union to be obtained by the prostration of all opinions and all parties to his opinions and his party? peace and union purchased by a dutiful obedience to the mandates which sre thundered from Fort Hill ? peace and union and accompanying might and power to be obtained by following the lead of him who is always marching off undersome " tat tered and torn banner"? sometimes the tat tered and torn banner of the Bank ? some times the tattered and torn banner of the tariff and internal improvements, and last, and at cjuick step, the tattered and torn ban ner of the Van Buren sub-Treasury; and marching oSboto whom, Mr. Editor* Why from Wm. H. Crawford,, the great radical of Georgia ? fron? Ji?hn Taylor and David R. Williams, the great radicals p( South Carolina, along with Judge Smith in his bet ter days. For myself, I cannot accept of peaee and union at the price of nay inde pendence. Man-worship I abhor as vile and debasing rn its influence; and will resist so long as I am permitted to live, all attempts by whomsoever made to break down and subdue the proud spirits of our people into slavish subserviency.to the haughty and ira I perious dictation^of any intellectual auto crat. I deeply deplore that Mr. Calhoun wrote his letter in the tone and temper which are stajmped upon its face. The invitation could have been declined with the inost per fect propriety upon other grounds altogeth er without exception, and Upon such grounds as would have saved him from the imputa tion of intending to pierce With the deepest wounds, an adversary who, if not already crushed beneath his feet beyond the possi bility of recovery, is iudeed bearing upon his shoulders the heavy weight of his hot dis pleasure* There is another view in which I regard this letter, not less repugnant to my notions of propriety, such as should mark the con duct of Mr. Calhoun in his present position in this State, and his relations with his illus trious colleague. In this letter is clearly to be seen the approval of Mr. Calhoun of the proceedings of the Legislature at the extra session in May last, relative to Mr. Preston, and strengthens the imputation that he was the prime mover at Washington in this whole affair. I say at Washington be cause no one now doubts but that this scheme of instructions was arranged and concocted at that manufactory of political games and intrigues. The puppets were here. The, wire?workers" were there. Mr. Calhoun de clares in his letter that to be found partici pating in a festival where- his refractory col league and friends might be found, would r be to condemn his principles and reflect dis honor on his course ; and as Mr. Preston had been proscribed by the Legislature a9 an enemy to the State and an opposer of her highest interests, that proscription must be sustained in all its length and breadth. Is there either delicacy or generosity in this behaviour? The enemy has been struck down to the earth and is biting the dust, and yet the keen iron must pierce him again. Is this the conduct of a magnanimous foe, whose antagonist is prostrate before him? The hounds have run down the noble stag a frd his proud spirit is almost quenclied in death, "and stil! when the hunter comes up he pours the contents of his firelock into his feebly palpitating heart. Ungenerous ? bar barous, cowardly. If Mr. Calhoun however^ is justifiable in assigning the reasons he has assigned for refusing^? accept the invitation of the Committee, and If he be sustained in the position that it would be disgrace and dishonor to be found at a public dinner when Mr. Preston was an invited guest, I would ask, how long will it be before he will feel himself authorized without disguise in pro pria persona, and not through hidden organs, to declare to the Legislature of South Car olina that her cause and her principles are dishonored in the person who should sustain them ? that he himself felt humiliated by being associated in the representation of the State in the Senate of the Union, with" a political opponent, and that therefore he must be instructed out of his seat ? I have_thjj&, Mr. Editor, withouj fear and with freedom, offered my comments upon this extraordinary letter. If the weapoh I have wielded has cnt with severity, dividing even between the joints and the marrow, it has received its temper and its edge from those which are used against the principles , as the object which I support, and the men , as the jneans I would use to secure their tri umph. In the downfall of the men who sustain my principles, my principles them selves must be crushed, and I therefore have taken up my pen in their behalf. I will do my "duty and u leave the consequence to God." JUNIUS, Mr. Editor : \ I propose to answer, calmly and honestly, certain questions that are\often propounded to us by the friends of the s\ib-Treasury. My hope is not so much to controvert, as to shew that, if we are not right,? at least, we areiiot -entirely unreasonable. ? I 1st. Why do you so strongly oppose our measure, when you know that, if it be not found to answer, it can in a year be abolished by act of Congress ? Because, 1st. by impairing confidence in the Slate Banks, even for oneyear, you keep in a state of fluctuating uncertainty the whole credit system and, by consequence, all trade during that time at least: and, 2d. Because, your proposed collection and disbursepient in specie being utterly impracticable,* Trea sury Drafts, which the Bill authorizes the Secretary to issue in place of specie, xiUtos discretion , will be the real Government cur rency. The Banks being depressed, these vtrill be the only medium of exchange left to the merchants; so that they will be tfrged&y immediate, temporary, personal considera tions to resist another revolution and uphold the reigning system, however vicious* ,. Ano- j ther money contest, then, will be inevitable. For the same reason that we have opposed all other experiments on the currency, we oppose this ? even as an experiment: it pro longs the deleterious agitation. 2d. If you will not take our measure, what remedy do you propose instead, for the dis orders of the currency ? I answer, Why do you ask u& for a reme dy when, yourselves, you propose none? It has been declared by the administration ? it has been declared by Mr. Calhoun, and agreed to by the friends of the sub-Treasury, that Congress has no right to remedy the evils of the people's currency ; that it is un- ? * As an instance : a gentleman havingj>e?toion to draw from a Bank at N. Orleans, $10,090 to buy lands, two days were consumed in counting it out, and a mulatto boy had to be hired to take turns in watching the teller. The same $10,000 in boxes of $50<9 each were payed in at tha'Land Office, where, after countiog-the contents of oke box, the rert was taken on the pft^s e'Bdfk Officer and J I}# Mulatto fioy. ??? > ; constitutional to regulate any currency but what come9 out of the mint. Then why do you tempt its to sic? If you say that your measure will in its effect ragulate tlje paper currency, I must disagree : but, if you are right, then, by your own shewing, your Bill is Unconstitutional. But we do propose a remedy Let the currency alone. Gentlemen politicians ? hands off, all. If you will only get out of the way, the currency will soon adapt itself to the practical wants of business. 3d. Is not the alternative, at last, between the sub-TreasUry and a U. S. Bank ? No ? On the abstract problem of a U. S. Bank we are much divided; ? and so are you. But on the practical question I think there is no difference. Mr. Van Buren is pledged against a Bank; so that, till the end of his term it is out of the question : by that time our own Rail Road Bank will be in operation. We shall then. have a great Northern (Bid die's bank)f and a great Southern institution, just as capable of ministering to the wants of commerce as if Chartered by the F ederal Gov ernment. This will be most favourable to the South, for then there will be no Northern Mon opoly of the profits of exchange &c. So long as these bank* work harmoniously together these will be no call for a National Bank; and the decided Northern tendency of that institution will unite the South, at least, against it.? ?But what assurance h^ve we that these banks mil harmonize? ? The very Best, -their own deepest interest. They will al "way? have before them, iu terrorem, the prospect of a National Bank; if by their dis cords they should fail to satisfy the wants of the people. They will see and feel that, from the moment they neglect to wield it for the pilblic good, the sceptre will pass from their hands. .? 4th? r? If you will not have specie, or Gov ernment paper exclusively taken in payment of dues; what Bank currency can you nn-' thorize without giving lo Federal Officers tlie power of favouring oue institution, and crip pling another at pleasure, and thus opening a double door to corruption ? All we want is a standard that shall adapt itself to- circumstances and shall at the same timejbe out of reach of the Government Offi cers. Cannot such be found ? The State Governments are interested, as much as the Federal, in having, each, its own sound me dium of public payments and receipts. They have also all the power requisite to regulate it. Let the standard fixed by each State for f its own use be adopted by the Federal Offi \ cers. Let them receive what the State re ceives ? reject what the State rejects. The Federal Officer has then no control over the State institutions ; nor has the State any, ? to his prejudice? oyer the officer; unless she t*e imagined to labour under the infatuation of distracting her own currency for the pur pose of embarrassing him. And, even in this unsupposable case, the evil would extend only to a single State, a small fraction of rhe whole, ^nd would be regulated or arrested by special legislation at the next following ses sion of Congress. ' 5th. In persisting to oppose the Adminis tratis) are you not cvouncted of sustaining Henry Clay, the abortionist; for the presiden cy ? If we are the supporters of Henry Clay, the abolitionist, now , then were you the sup porters of the same abolitionist twelve months ago ? all of you, at least who opposed the administration then . But opposition to Mar tin Van Buren's measures and loyalty to Henry Clay's person, never were convertible terms. I hate the F ox : but I swear no alle gience to the Hound that hunts him down; not even when I join with all my heart the halloo to urge him on. I wish to avoid ab stractions, and will not stop to inquire whe ther Mr. Clay, as president, be more desirable than Mr. Van Buren. A year ago when we agreed on other matters that have since di vided us, we all agreed that it was unwise for South Carolina to take a hand in the presi dential game. We had, twice already, avoid ed it with eminent advantage, and in coales cing with the opposition we reserved distinctly that relation. Now we are/accused of having lost sight of measures in an inconsiderate ad herence to a party. Be it so. ? If we have abandoned principles , at all events, our rela tions to men are by your own shewing, what they were. We are not Van Buren men ? we are not Clay men. We are opposed to giving the vote of the State to either candi date. I presume to say ice, because every act of the party, as well before as since tha late unhappy division, tells me I am right. ANTI-SUB-TREASURY. t Much misapprehension arises from confounding Mr. Biddle's institution with every proposition for a National IBank, for no other reason than that it was once the Bank of the U. S. In truth Mr. Biddle is a stout opponent (and how could he be else-?) of Mr. Clays National Bank.. fbr the Telescope I cannot stoop to the ignominy of a con troversy with a man, who eitherdoes not un derstand or does not care to observe the de cencies of life. To the intemperate writer, who has assulted me in the Mercury, I have only to say, " Fortes indigne tub. MiJii insult are; fe, naturae dedkcus Quod Jerre cog or, curie bis videor " pati. A simple question of facts and dates is easily disposed of. I have asserted, that in 1834, Mr. Calhoun repudiated the very scheme, which in 1838, he is advocating, with his characteristic enthusiasm. On the 21st March 1834. Mr. Calhoun is reported in Green's Debates, Vol. II. p. 213, to have used the following language. 44 To give efficacy to this power [of regu lating the coins,] then some other must be combined with it. The most immediate and obvious, is that which has been suggested, of excluding all but specie in the receipts of the Government. This measure would be effec tual to a certain extent, but with a declining income, which must tajce place under the operatiou- of the act of the last Session, to adjust the Tariff and which must greatly re duce the revenue (a pohjt of the utmost im portatice in the reformation and regenera tion -of oar institutions,) the efficacy of the. measure must be correspondingly Jimin-* ished. From the nature. of things it cannot, greatly exceed the average pf the Government depoSites, whieh, I hop?t will before many years be reduced to the $ it) ill test possible amount, so as to prevent the possibility of the" recurrence of the shameful aud fUdgetous state of things which now exists and which has been caused by the vast amonnt of thfc. surplus revenue ; but there is, in my opinion; a strong , if hot dn insuperable objection td this measure, resulting from the fact, that an exclusive receipt of specie in the Treasury would, to give it efficacy and to prevent ex tensive SPECULATION and FRAUD, re quire an entire DISCONNECTION on the part of the Government with the BANKING S YSTlSM in ait Us fdkros and a resort to the STRONG BOX ad the means of preserving and guarding its funds ? a means [(practica ble at all, in the present state of tilings, liable to the objection ofbeing far less SAFE, ECONOMICAL & EFFICRINT tWtiie. present." ? f The above sentiments of Mr* CalboUn were not mere obiter dicta. They'were de liberative, solemn, decisive, and condemnato-' ry. He had weighed the whole inattei and whs carefully reviewing, for the instruction of the Senate, all the positive and potential phases of our financial system. Shortly af ter the above extract, follows a passage of marked and intense emphasis: 44 After a full sitrvey of the whjjljp sttbject, I see none, I can conjecture no ^eans of extricating the country froufcits present dan ger, and to arrest its fa|U^er increase, but a BANK ? the agency of which, in gome- form or undfer some authority, "is indispensable." In the original debates, the pasba'ges quo ted are in common type. Italics and capi tals have been intermingled for tbetpUfpoja of fixing the reader's attention. The paternity of that ricketty bantling the sub-Treasury scheme, is due neither to Mr. Calhoun, nor to General. Gordon. In 1833, Mr. Gouge, a gentleman of undoubt ed talent and research, published a " Histo ry of Paper Money and Banking," with a view to expose the abuses of the feystem. His scheme if not very judicious of prudent, was, at least, houestly avowed in all Its bear ings. For sub-treasurers, and collector-trea surers, and strong boxes, and the receipt of public dues only in gold and silver, were proposed by him with the view of ultimate ly subverting and superseding Banks altoge ther. He expressly declares, that when the U. S. Government bad once carried this plan into execution, they would be imitated by . the State Governments, and that about 10 years would be sufficient to wean the people, from their confidence in paper -tnopey. Mr. Gouge afterwards published a smaller work, giving the requisite details of bars, bolts, boxes, and shelves. He was fortunate enough to meet with the approbation of Mr. Amos Kendall, and, through his influence, was re warded with a substantial post by Geperal Jackson. ? ? General Gordon's Resolutions were nega tived on the 11th February, 1835, by a ma jority of 128. What connection they can have with with Mr. Calhoun's recorded iib servations in IV^arch, 1834,1 atrr entirely -at a loss to understand. - - R#BE^r henry: Mr. Ewtor^? . ,? , ;S?$|plks in ther?ountry ar? apt not to get the news tfltitis all coJd and 'state ;, so I dare say what 1 hare to complain about is an old story with you. When I came to town the other day, I found there was subscrip tions going about for a new paper^fo be set up in Columbia: I believe it to be a sub-Treasury paper. Well, there was no harm in that, because you Editors always give one side, and we like to see both. But I found it was to be set up by a gentleman from Georgia ? and when I came to inquire why a man should come over from, Georgia to publish a paper here when we have one on each side already, and the market is full, they told me he was brought here by other people, mostly out of the district, and that Mr. Rhett, froin somewhere in the low coun-, try, had a principal hand in it. 1 believe ? ' -i jnSntL that is the same gentleman that came so near getting into trouble the other day at our Baibecue, by flying in the face of the Committee that invited him there, and say ing it 44 was all a one-sided affair" ? and ma king a speech when they wouldn't let our own candidates speak, because there wasn't time. Now sir, I don't like this sort of proceed ing at all. You know we are to have an election before long, and this meddling in other people's businesses not going to- help those that put their fingers into it. I dare say the people from the lowf country think we are blind Heathens that can't see our own way without their light, -i-but I go for ah open field, and a fair fight^ and no interlo pers. I suppose the next thing-will be a sub Treasury Missionary Society in the low country, to feed a whole army of apostles of the new light among us ^ritifeS^? to tell us which of our public meh/js to be saved and who is to be damned? to mislead and de ceive our people ; and then at the next Le gislature they will say that this, that, and the other is the opinion of Richland. I don't like it, sir, and the people won't bear it. That was pretty plain the other day when some of the missionary folks wanted old Richland to hear the word preached from Alabama: but it wouldu't do. HOMESPUN. Mr. Editor: ?
