Shepard's Address, to the Freemen of the fourth Congressional District of N. Carolina. I am opposed to the establishment of a National Bank, or the existence 'of any corporation, whose power and whose bu' siness pervade the whole Confederacy. It is not to be denied, that a Federal Institution is a convenient agent to the Secretary of the Treasury. The rev enue, wherever collected, can be depos ited there, and wherever needed, can be disbursed through its various branches; and if regard be had only to the ease of publi" officers,or the despa'ch with which credit canl lie transported, a National Bank is :he most appropriate instrument. But it is not indispensably necessary. The commercial relations ot the Union, enable the Bank to perform the duty above men tioned. and the saie reasoni will put it in the power of the Government to expend is mn.ey t hrough its own officers. Most ol the reyenue is collected in New York, and sone of it is wanted in Missouri. The merchants of the latter State purchase their goods in the former, and are always glad to have funds where their debts are paya ble; and if the money of the Government be in safe hands at New York, a draft on this deposite will be equivalent to the specie in St. Louis, and eagerly desired. This simple illustration throws light on the whole stbject; in early times, when there were neither banks nor brokers, it might have been necessary to put up &Nationual Institution, but a check or drt of the Secretary of the Treasury, wherever it may now go, will purchase the best cur rency, and bo sufficient to pay the debts of the Government. A paper circulation, common to the who le iuntry, has been much landed. and is certainly useful to the travelling com nanity. It is said that if a person starter at New Orleans and went to Boston, half of his expenses might be charged to hro kerage; but the taking of a small quantity ofspecie would remedy this evil, cret if we were disposed to compare the tentpo rary conveuienice of a few travellers, to the permanent interests of the thousands who never leave their own State. The local Banks, if properly managed, canl alwavr furnish exchange at a mod erate premium. The relative business of the diflerent see tions of the country. is the basis of this operation; if Newhern buys more than it sells. exchange will be against Newbern, and if it sells more than it huys. exchange will be in its favor. and this is the univer sal lw under every system of finance - l)uriting the late crisis, exchange at New Orle-ans on New York was 10 per cent. above par, while in North Carolina. a draft could be obtained at 1 per cent.; the reawmti was, that New Orleans was heavily indebted to New York, whilst the mer chants ofour own State bad been doing a snug and prudent business. The Bank of England has no branch at Dublin or Edin burg, yet the merchants of that Kingdom do not complain of the derangensent of exchanges; there is no hank to regulate the commercial intercotrse between N. York and Liverpool, and there is no justifiable cause why the business of our own cities should inot be on a footing equally favora ble. In the brcaking up of an old system, and the commencement- of another, there will be some distress and confusion. but in a short time the business of the country will become adapted to the new state of things, and the predicted evils will not appear. The chief argument. however, in favor of a National Bank, i is its supposed ability to carry on a sound currency. The pre cedent of 1816, when Mrgl adison gave ttp his objections and signed the hill for the establishment of the late Institution, is fre quently referred to. and at one time it had great weight in my owt mind. But a more minute acquaintance with the history of banking, and a more soearching investi gation of uts tendencies, have shaken my faith in the soundness of this opinion.. The General Assembly grants a ch arter of incorporation, aad if tmoneyed men are pleased with its provisions, they subscribe for stock, and the bank begins its opera tions. The object of the Legislature is to furnish a paper currency to the people, that of the capitalist,to make a good invest ment for himself. Prudent, and keen sighted, looking to his own interests, he mmnages he bank to make money for the stockholders. The greater the issue of paper, the larger will be the dividends, and the higher the stock will rise in the market; thus for a time, even an honest man wvill be tempted to go lieyond the bounds of prudence, and throw out more currency than is wanted. When to this is adtded the eagerness of borrowers, the re sult of the whole aflfair is easily percepti ble. Though young in years, the country is already in the old age or luxury atnd re finement. Hlatits of industry and econo tny are distasteful to many-of our people. The-y wish to substitute speculation for patient labor,and they are greedy of riches; they indulge in expensive pleasures. A temporary combination takes place be tween the banker and the borrower, every thing rises in price; the rich man thinks himnself a prince the poor one acts as if he had woetlth, and all go on rejoicing un til the bubble is swollen to its utmost ex tent, and the puncture of a pin brings it to the earth. .' he Bank cannot redeem its paper, because its debtors cannot pay, for prices and property are in an artificial stite; the ktowing capitalist took advantage of some one's ignorance to sell his stock at a high advance, and leaves the institution to tie odium, which his own conduct bro't against it. Any bank oflarge capital,properly man aged, would certainly check the State cor porations, and keep them within reasona ble lirmits. But there is no kuaranty that a National Institution would he governed with more virtue and wisdom than the State Banks; men of the same character are stockholders of each. desirous of large dividends, and the debtors of one are as littlelikely to be circumspect as those of the other. The same vice iufects the wiholsystem, and where there is an appa rent difference between the federal and lo eal banks, it is caused by peculiar circum stances. Ifin 1816, the Legislatures had compelled the State corporations to per form their contracts or the General Gov ernment had demanded specie in the pay mew of its dues, there would have ceo no necessity for a National Bank; if the makers and guardians of the law would extetd to banks the same penalties, which befal insolvent individuals, we should not often hear of the suspension of specie pay ments. That this is the true remedy, late events incontestably prove. The banks of New York would have forfeited their charters, if resumption had not taken place on or before the 1st May. and this did happen not only without a National Bank, but in spite of the Mammoth In stitution at Philadelpbia. I have no affinity with those who wish to persecute moneyed institutions, for there are times when the wisest cannot foresee the revul sions in trade and commierce, and should not be blamed: I only lay down a general princtpl., applicable to ordinary cases, by which the people can be protected, and the i anks be made to know their duty. But if a National Batik can confer these boasted blessings on the people, it must lie invested with vast power and extensive privileges. The President of the late In stitution, when asked by a committee of the Senate "las the Bank at any time op pressed any of the Stat- Bank-;" answer ed "No, iever-but there are very few hanks that imight not have been destroved by an exertion of the power of the Bank." it thus seems that t welve individtals would cintrol the woneyed interests of this great iduntry. If they were favorable to a State Wilk it might issue bills to any amoun and make large dividends for its stockhol tiers; if they were lostile, it might shut its doors, and close its business, without re ga-.ito the power which brought it into exmience, Whatever might be the in idrests of the people among whom it was located, or the oliject of the Legislature which granted the charter, the local bank must look to the views antd feelings of the distant master, on whose smiles and frm ns its fate would hang. This powerful i flu ence would not be confined to the capital ists and their imimnediate dependants ; the industrious classes, the merchant, main Saaturer, agriculturist, and al who were in need of loans and credit for successful op. erations, would have a direct interest in propitiating the great Molorh of monev. W hen we think of the rage for riches which characterises the present generation, and the inordinate desire for time luxuries of life, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the power, which is believed to dispense these favors, would be almost irresistalble. When Mr. Van Buren was inaugurnied he declared himself the uncompromising oppon. nt of Abolition. At the com meucement of the 3d jessionof the 25th .ongress, it was thought prudent to stifle the petitions anti memoriuls on this sub ject, and Mr. Patton, of Virginia, intro duced a resolution, ordering them to be laid on the taLle without further action thereon :seventy-four members of the House of Representatives voted against this resolution of whbom nine or teni were suipporters of the Admlministramtionm, andi thme rest werme its opponenits, not a single 'WVhig' froum the North vomimng ini the affirmative. 0On tihe 12th of Decemiber, 1838, Mr. Ath erton, of.New Hampshire, presented to our body certain resolutionis on the sub ject of thme powers of time Genmeral Govern ment, and for tihe purpose of disposing of the "Abolition papers," with wvhich the House was to be flooded: they afirm the control of the States over their domestic institutions, and rebuke ini a proper spirit tme agitators, who wish to use this Govern miet as a lever to effect their designs on the Southern country. Seventy-eight mnembiers voted against the last clause of the last resolution, ordering the petitionis amid metmorials of the fanatics to be laid onm the table, "without b'eing printed, read, or referred ;" of these nine or ten were "Dem ocrats," and 'the rest were "Whigs," not a single opponent of Mr. Van B uren, from time North, voting in the affirmative. The Abolitionists and their friends were deeply offended at the passage of these resolutions: those who voted for them were stigmnatised in the vilest language, and denounced as the puppets of slave holders, whilst they. who voted against them., were heralded, through the North as the friends of liberty amid free discussion. I am far from saying that all the North ern Whiigs are favorable to thme schemnes of this misguided .people ; but Mr. Van. Buren having early taken ground against them, and 'his friends in Congress having voted with the Sonihern delegation, there by incurring the hatred of the fanatics, whilst the Whigs have received their thanks and praises, it.is not unreasonable to conclude that- one party is much soundl er than the other. *J however, only state the, facts; it becomes you to make the cow ment in justice and charity. But we must not put too much faith in parties and politicians. I have seen enough to make ine distrust those who are strug Aling for p9wer and office. We must ad here to our principles; we must keep aloof from those contests, whose result is to ele vate men and divide the spoils of victory. If the slave-holding States be true to them selves, they can give law to the Govern ment; but if our public men be divided in to factions, and permit the great doctrines of the Constitution to be sunk into a mere scramble for the 'loaves and fishes." our influence will be lost, and our property will be sacrificed. The preceding remarks unfold my po litical principlcs. and indicate the courae, ihat I shall pursue on the bill for the es tablishinent of the "Inidependent Treasu ry." it it contains those safeguards, which I deem essential to permnaneut success. Under its provisions, Executive patronage will be less than if the Government were leagued with the banks: its tendency is to diminish the public expenditures-to piu rily the currency, and to render unneces sary that paper monopoly,.so alien to the genius,of our insitutions, and so fatal to the interets of the Southern States. The length of this communication, pre vents me from entering nore fully into the merits of the great doctrine of the separa tion of Bank and State; its novelty and the clamor that was raised for political effect, induced many excellent men to question its expediency, lbut contrary to precon ceived notions. I feel compelled to give it my support, and shall take another oppor tunity of stating the reasons. Your obedient servant, CHAItLES SHEPARD. WAsmyo'roy, Dec. 20h, 1S38. Ohio Legislature.-Mr. Flood offered the folluwing preamble and resolutions to the House of Representatives, Saturday. Jan. 15th. "Resolved, by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio. That in the opiion of this General assembly, ours is a Govern ment of limited powers; that all powers not delegated by the Constitution are re served to the People; and that by the Constitution o the United States, Con gress has no jurisdiction over the institu tions of slave.-y in the several States of this Confederacy. "Resolved, That the agitation of the subject of slavery in the nois-'lave holding States, is, in the opinion of this General Assembly, attended with no good; that the atielioration of slaves is not enhanced; and that it is a violation of the faith which ought ever to -exist among states of the same coufederacy. "Resolved, That the sche-!mes of the Atiolinonists, 1or the pretended happiness of the slaves, are, in the opinion of this General Assetmbly, niild, delusive and fa natical; and have a direct tendency to de stroy the hiarmony of the Union, to rivet tihe chain of the slaves, and to destroy the perpetuity of our free institutions. "Resolved, Thar all attempts to abolsh slavery in the States of this Union, or to prohibit the removal of slaves from State to State, or to discriminate between the instititions of one portion of the country and another, with the views aforesaid,are, in the opinion of Ihis General Astembly, in ''violation of the Constitution of the United States, and destructive of the fun damental principles on which rests the union of these States." "Resolved, That in the opinion of this General Assembly. it is unwise, impolitic and inexpedient, to repeal any law in force, imposing disabilities upon black and mulatto persons, thus placind them on an equality with the whites, so far as the Legislature can do, and indirectly itnvi ting the black population of other States to emigrate to this State, to the manifest injury of the public interest. "Resolved TPhat the Governor be reques ted to forward copies of these resolutions to the President and Vice-President of the United States to eaich of our Senators in Congress, and to the. Executive of ever State in the Conf'ederacv."cr The Mercants.-During the debate on the Swartwot Defalcatins, Mr. Hioflinana saidI, it had of late become the practice in every way, and on all occasions, to assail the character of our Merchants, who seem ed to lhe regarded by some as a caravan 'in the desert, that every wandering tribe might thitnk it fair to attack and plun der. But who are the merchants of this country? They weremen whose honor and enterprise hatve done as much to ele vate our national character as the gallant achievements of our army and navy; and whose integrity and faith, duritng our late financial difficulties, had called forth on the floor of the British Parliament, a trib ute of praise from the Chancellor of the Exchequer-men who had left less than ?500 unpaid,outof more than $2,00)0,000, wiuich had been returned upon them pro tested from Etngland. Where did their ene mies find motiveq lor this perpetual at tack? Was it to be found in present excr tions, or their past history? Was it to he fohud in that spirit of enterprise which had carried our flag to every sea and eve ry clime, atnd had paid into our very Treasury the sums which had formed this alimnent to speculation and defalcation? Was it to be found in the early h.itory of our Republic?
