supervise his conduct whitr in "office. On the
ithrr hand, the Directors of the Bank give no
^)nnd; they are entrusted- with much larger
tmounts on their finnor; and the President, If
lie l)e a man of ability, may he considered as
dected for life. The Constitution provides that
io money sha-H'be drawn from the public Trfea- *
jury pxcept- by order of the Legislature. A bill
uust be read three times in each House'liefbre
iiv cent can come from the Treasury; yet in
his Bank nothing of the kind Unnecessary; &
ncrp warrant from the President is sufficient*
ind he, with the Directors, hare absolute con>
rol over it. Before any appropriation, how?vdr
small, is made by the Legislature, the
natter must be discussed fully; yet the Bank
nay make any appropriation and for any purmse.
These various circumstances render this
nstrtutinn a virtual violation, of the Consllttit*
ion. But this is not all. In addition to this
he Directors have the power to divide this ntoicy
amongst themselves: and they not only
lave this power, but thoy exercise it. At the
a*t report there were 8700,000 thus applied;?
md though those loans may be good, yet they
lave no right thus to appropriate funds which
mlong in common lo the people of the ware,
[n the Legislature every appropriation for the
talarios ol officers is thoroughly considered;
he office must he made to appear necessary beore
that appropriation will bo made; and if
here is no such necessity, then the office Ta
iholished and the appropriation withdrawn.
But tho Directors of the Bank appoint its officers,
give what salaries they please, and encounter
what expense they please. And if any
me should undertake to investigate this matter,
*e finds that he has to encounter figures, and

Republican Government, and our own Constiution,
which has denied even to the Senate of
he Mate, the right to originate a bill to raise
lupplies. The House of Representatives is llie
inly body who can legitimately exercise' tbi*
lower, and then it is exercised openly?the
;onrse of every member is known and scruti:
lised; but with (he Directors of the Bank the
:ase is different. Their course and then* ae*
ion is unknown ; they are sworn not to reveal'
heir proceedings except on requisition' of the
Legislature. And this power to levy taxes; thfr
unlawful exercise of which was resisted by this
Government, and led to our National Iridepetr.
lence, has been tamely yielded' ut> ihto the
hands of a body of men elected by the'Legislature.
Ami again : the danger of alt1 over issue
is an important consideration. God'fbrbid that
he should impute any such conduct,-Of the probability
of any sttch conduct, to the-gentlemen
uow entrusted with this matteryet on this
;reat and vital question of State pttllcy, ther?
were perils which no human forecast could proride
against. Cases had occurred where offiv
:ers of Banks had conspired and issued bills
without receiving value for them, and without
he knowledge of the Directors. And frauds
if this kind it was very difficult to discover;
here were so many facilities offered, that in j
many cases it was impossible tb punish the of- ^
fender. Our State Treasury is-guarded by a
provision of the Constitution; The officer
vacates his office every four years, at whleh nBL
lime an investigation is made, and his accounts .
jxamined ; before he enters upon the duties,
he is required to give bond* and seeurty; tho
Comptroller General's duly is to examine and
nature, and the fact that a long acquaintance
with the operation* and business of banking
and a knowledge of financiering, is necessary
before its workings can be undrslood, render
it an institution totally opposed to the theory of
our government, which proposes that the pe?*
pie shall know and understand the operation1
of matters in which they are directly intei?it0^i
The result was that tbe condition of the treasury
was shrouded in darkness, eicept to tbe
very few who bad the necessary acqainljuiCt
with the subject to investigate that condition;-??
Again: the Bank exercises the Legislative
authority of this State. It may lend tnooey towhom
it pleases; the Legislature must deliberate
and discuss at length any sucb measure to*
be pursued by them; but this Bank may do it'
in a moment. We have given them the wj*
thority to issue bills, and we are bound fort,
heir payment. They may subscribe to stock,,
ir make loans, without the permission of the*
Legislature. It is true that they have tbig -?
isked to make that subscription, have done ill?'
The Bank, by possessing the power to contract
i debt, possesses the power of taxing the people
,o pay that debt; and though it should contract
*or millions, yet that debt can only be paid by
aying a tax on the people; and this is a power

omiu is tounaea upon jvicious principles-Hn
other words, erroneous principles. All Banks
in connection with State were an evil, and
based upon principles repugnant to our system'
of government, fie then entered into a history
of the Bank from the date of its charter down
to the present time, with various statistics and
statements of the amount of capital, &c~. and'
its several loans to different persons and for
various purposes. With reference to the fire
loan, that was safe, beyond all question-?the
property of those who were relieved by it, was
mortgaged to secure the payment of it; but with
respect to the loan to private individuals, that
was more uncertain; and should the Bank not
be able to pay the money borrowed, there was
no other fund out of which it could be.patd,.>and:
the consequence would be, a resort to ta&atjoa:
The second proposition was that such institutions
are contrary to the principles of a Republican
government. Its difficult and comofor

e" MR. MEMMINGER'S SPEFCtf.
g Before going into the discussion of tbo merit*
of the several propositions before tbo Commit*
te, he desired to disembarrass the question o *
j certain personal considerations, which shoutf n
. not enter into such a discussion. It should be
j. discussed upon high and elevated grownda, tat s
' great question of State policy, and altogether
' disconnected with private individual .considers*
* tions. He expressed titer highest regard and
personal friendship towards (he President df the
i. insTitution, which has been conducted as ably
and as perfectly as sucb an institution could-bo
conducted ; and as far as his individual connection
with other institutions of a similar cbarac* 0
ler was concerned, that interest would not-fo
injured or increased five hundred dollars. And
now, as on former occasions, he was ready
when these private institutions proved recreant
to the purposes of their charter, to bring them
before the Courts of Justice of the country.

the necessity of a balance of power in th

extorted the respect of the leading presse
and authorities in Europe since the devel

The langiragc of contempt for our mania
energies and resources, has been changec
into that of admiration. 3. The value o!
colonies in England, has been much questioned
by some of .her leading politicians,
both in and out of Parliament. The heavyexpenditure
attending these possessions has
alarmed the public mind, when the necessity
for retrenchment has become so obvious
that a general reduction of pensions and salaries
has been generally discussed. For
these reasons, we tiling that if the Island of
Cuba were transferred to the United States,
by purchase, although such a transfer is extremely
improbable, and its cession for any
price should be shunned by the people and
government of the Union, it would excite
much less attention in Europe than if it had
taken place when monarchial power was in
the ascendant. Then there would have
been protest, probably war. Now there
would be not only acquiescence, but calculation,
as to how much larger a market
would the island'of Cuba afford for the products
of the British industry, in the hands of
'.omplaccnt strain ot the Jinglisli press, in
elation lo American ambition for a new 'j

diaraetcrized its editorial comments when
ho lust for acquiring territory is supposed

nent of this"countrv, in its hosti ities with
Mexico, the contrast will be found remarkade.
The acquisition of so valuable a pos- ^
icssion as the Island of Cuba is no longer so .
vehemently condemned, as illustrating the
erritorial cupiditity of the American peo- *(
)le, but asj exemplifying the dishonesty of a
he Spanish Government, which, owing mil- 0|

widely departed from justice and the principles
of public law, as to sell its possessions tr

Island or Cuba.?The earliest intima- s<
ion, which was deemed in this country uutulhcntic,
that the Spanish Government in
ended to convey the Island of Cuba to the "
Jniled States, for a pecuniary consideration, l'
Ircw forth, as was to have been expected, 'v
iommenls from the Lnglish press, and par- I
icularlv from the London Times; but it is
emarkable in what a subdued tone that print
careened, ihcy fell in one promiscuous heap 1
crushing many who were endeavoring to 1
escape from the aftcr-parl, and entirely cut- '
ling off all retreat from others. He himself ?
made a narrow escape, and just left the room
just in time to save his life, swimming. In 11
less than twenty minutes after she struck,
nothing but tiic hurricane roof, pilot house, 1
&c., remained above the water.
All the cabin passengers, and a great many
from the deck below, succeeded in d
t eaching the huricanc deck in safely. There Sl
ire between twenty-five and thirty missing; b
ind horrible to relate, more than hall'of "
liese were helpless women and children. ; v
Jf the number, there were some eight or '
en of the latter. persons,: l'
Orleans. Nothing was saved at that mo- 1 P
nenl except the books and the iron safe be- ! 6
ongingtothe boat. All her letters, and a ; ir
jreat many valuable papers?such as bills
jf lading, &c.,?were lost. But few of the P
lassengers escaped with anything but their
nere clothes; and after remaining on the
oof some lime they were safely conveyed
o the shore by means of the yawl. That
iwful night passed?next morning boats
,vcrc obtained, and the crew visited the
.vrcck and succeeded in getting out a large
wrtion o[ the cabin furniture, and by cutting
hrough the roof they fished up nearly all the
laggage, &c\. belonging to the passengers.
In this terrible I loss of life not a solitary
gold goes lo Mazatlun, lo Chili and Peru?
- where it is lost to our national currency.?
r Over a million of gold, at the lowest contpuI
tat ion, is taken from these mines every
- month-and this cprantity will be more than
doubled when the emigration from the Slates

Southern republics, arrives. Send us a

the Mississippi River, on the 21st u!f. The

thrilling details of this sad calamity:

Sacramento. Feather River, Yerba River

indeed on the tops of high hills. The extent
of country in which it is ascertained to
exist, extends some two hundred miles north
and south, and some sixty east and west;
and these limits are every day enlarging by
new discoveiics. On the streams where
the gold has been subjected to the action of
water and sand, it exists in fine grains; on
the hills and among the clefts of the rocks it
is found in rough, jagged | ieccs of a quarter
or half an ounce in weight, and sometimes
two or three ounces.
At present the people are running over

against a projecting snag some thirty yards
from the Mississippi shore, arid in less than
twenty minutes she went down to her hurricane
roof. As soon as the shock was felt it
was known that the boat was in a sinking
condition and Capl. Yore instantly ordered
I'he forward hatch to be raised in order to
