I will now endcuyor to prove, that nia tier to Mr. Ingerso!l,'in 1831, leaves lin gered and unrefined his arguments 2ainst the Bunk in 1794; and if 1 fail' m is, it will bo for want of talents as. niter, and not for want of materials, ;as; I...,, h,rn1nntlv evident to any.one nuni w j i i l irill read Mr. Madison'a speech and let.

Here it will be seen tTiat "pre ccdents,' are the only arguments used to VvjiJo tlii charge of inconsistency. Mr. ni.wi;.n ti-nlv sava in this letter, that a 'constitution is to be expounded and obey ed, not construed or varied by the subor dinate authority of a legislature' Had this maxim been adhered to by a majority r.i, Podoml Lftfrisl.iture. as it was m 17Q.1 hv Mr. Madison and those who acted v ith him, we would never have had the bad "precedent" which "over-ruled his in dividual opinion" in 1817. Again, after reciting judicial precedents l'in settling tho meaning of a law, Mr. M.idison asks, "Can it be of less impor tance that tho meaning of a constitution should bo fixed and known, than that the in" of a law should bo sof wow u ted, power; for the persistence ot Con gross in error can never trariamute wrong into right.- Mr Madison,' in this letter, does not attempt to proje the constitution ality of the bank,cv to disprove tho argu ments advanced in his speech in 1794. This, he was well aware, would prove an over-match tor his argumentative pow ers; hence he adopted the wiser plan, and gave in his adhesion on tho score ot "pre cedents." After sTwakifig of legislative rocogni- States are sovereign.- It the position as sumed in the above quotation is a correct one, the States ars no longer free povc reign, and independent communities.

It is tune for politicians to quit caning mem tions of the Bank, and the length of timeovercign.

Jlow a "fteces- to acknowledge that it was not sary" measure. To clear himsclt ot the cnargo oi -consistency, it was then necessary for Mr. Madison to prove cither. 1st, that the power to inwrporate a Bank was a "ne cessary and proper" power to carry into effect some of the delegated powers. This is perfectly consistent with the rule laid down by Mr. Madison in his speech in 1794, and mo just conceptions can be taken against testing his "mdividu- 1 nn;n nf n Inter rtatO DV 11. 1 Ul 1 1.1 mean I freely admitted tnat me mumiing u. i- t.- i i Pnnstitut on shou U be "iixeu auu 1 wiciui But tho only way to eilect tins desirable object is to "keep close to our ..i..,...r nnihnrities" always rccollec- Liiai ivi vu j t;,w, tW "tho doctrine ol implication is always a tender one," and liable, from its ridiculous then for those who aaopr tnis doctrine to talk of tho sovereignty of', the States; and what a perfect farce for the Constitution of Ohio, in all tho solafjinity of a fundamental law, to declare that the people "have at all times a complete pow er to alter, reform, or abolish their gov ernment whenever they may deem it ne cessary!"

Mr. Madi son says: "But it is said that the i legisla tor having sworn to support the Constitu tion, must support it in his own construc tion of it." This is a sly hit at the veto message of President Jackson stating his reasons for refusing his assent to the re charter of the United States Bank. 1 ho doctrines of that message are in unison with Mr. Madison's former political opin- Jackson continued true'to the political 'principles of the dem ocratic party, his election wouiu nav v ved a blessing to the people of these States r Mnrlisnn. however, is forced to ad' mit "that there may be extraordinary and peculiar, circumstances controlling the rule" of precedents, in both cases it may be admitted; but witn sucn twr'T' the rule will force itself upon the practi v,l iuH(Tmpntof the most ardent theorist. On this point the letter should have been definite, and pointed out tho "pccunar alluded to. Now, if any will rarefullv read Mr. Madison's speech and the opinion of Judge Rowan, r.f Knntupkv. nnd then decido that the charter of the United States Bank does not como within the exception ot extra- dinary and peculiar circumstances con i rnllintr the rule" of precedents, ho will indeed, even with tho aid of this letter, be puzzled to invent one; for Congress can tin more exercise undelegated power in passing a harmless and expedient law, thnn nno which involves the most fatal consoquences. Both cases would be equal ly usurpations, of tho rights of others, thnnrrW tha rnnsonuGncea might not bo n 1 o pmmllv pernicious, further than on the score of "precedents." This letter fur thcr asserts, that "men eager in pursuit nC some favorite obiect, are not to be re lied on as expounders of tho Constitution." This assertion no doubt is too truo. And 1 would ask if the advocatos of the "Cod Fishery Bill, the Bank Bonus Bill, tho U. States Bank, the Alien and Sedition, the Prnplnmntinn and the Force Bill," wcro not men "eager in the pursuit of somo fa How he could adopt of construction and bid defiunce" to the reserved rights of the States, after the noble stana no nu taken in defending them, is indeed a mat- .-,.r .ni;' ntut Rsnecia v so wncn we reflect on the lunguage used in his ve to message returning the Bank Bonus Bill in 1817, from which the following extract is given: "But seeing that such a power is not given expressly by the Constitu tion, and believing that it cannot be de duced from any part ot it, l nave no op tion but to withhold my signature irom cherishing tho hope that its Denenciai objects may bo obtained by a resort ior the NECESSARY i'OWERS lO Wie bonks dom that established the Constitution, ana worked out a safe and practical moue oi mnrovin!! itasexpericnce might suggest.

This is an admission that the Stntoa wprn nt that time sovereign. And f r. Madison, to make out his case, should hnvn nroven that tho States delegated their sovereignty in the Constitution, or that they have by some overt act forfeited it agreeably to its provision; ior a prt-rug-mivfsn essential can never betaken from them by implication or by "precedents." if then the States are still sovereign, a State can secede from tho Union without being questioned as to her right; and ior the best of all reasons, that sovereignty hn no human superior. That the phys ical force of her former co-States might be able to reduce her into submission and vassalage, is no argument against ner rights, or in favor of their interference, unless we adopt tne uocirmo uiai m irives rieht." After taking a view of our institutions, the letter continues, "The Constitution, not reiving on any of the preceding modi fications for its safe and successful opera tion, has expressly declared on the one hand. 1st, That the Constitution and laws m.i1n in nursuance thereof, and all trea Una mnitn under the authority of the U States, shall bo tho law of the land. 2nd, That the judges of every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in tho constitu tion and laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. 3d.

Trade and commerce too sharpen the wits of folks generally, and makes 'em keep a sharp eye on the law maKers and that dun7t suit some folks. I have always noticed my self, nnd I have heard tell ever since 1 was a boy and what luetic I read of what is called history says so too that no country can be free and happy without good laws, inudo expressly for all classes alike then all classes prosper for all arc dependent on each other, a farmer raises wheat, and pork, and beef the merchant takes these to all parts of creation to the best market, and brings homo what is most wanted in turn. The ship-builder builds ships for the market, and that gives employ to ropc-mukcrs, and blacksmiths, and sail-makers and cartmen- and so on through all branches of mechanics. Foreign trade and homo trade all goes on one working into the other merchandize and folks in stoarn boats and on rail roads, keep movin' about the country all busy, nil happy, all prosperous. But when, to suit sumo party purposes, any man, or set of men, in office or out of office, fuidin" some of their measures ain't likely to suit any particular class of folks, begin to throw mud at 'em, and try to set up other folks agin 'em, depend on't there's mis chief brewin', and tho sooner it is check'd tho bettor. What is "sass for the "oose ought to be sass for tho gander." It may suit a party to-day to abuse the merchants and men in trade, and, smash 'em all to flinders, and to-morrow, it may suit the same party to smash tho farmers and the next, tho mechanics, and so on. If it is right in one case, it is right in all, but my notion is, it ain't right in any case, and I for one, won't vote for it. A man who builds a ship for the merchant, has as good a claim on the protection of the laws, as the man who labors at any other honest callin', 1 don't care in what. Will any man pint out in tho Constitution, or in any other law, the right of sowing discord in the great national family? A good deal is said about some private letters from the Gineral at the Hermitage --that ho wrote to the Globe man at Washington. I haint had time yet to read 'em, but if they are what I hear telPd on, I don't believe the Gineral ever wrote 'em and if ho did, it don't amount to nothin' What a man writes afore he is President and what ho writes afhr ho has quit that office, amounts pritty much to the same thing. Tho Gineral writ a very good letter once to Mr. Munroe, but it did not come to any good. Ono man's letter, then, is just as good as any other man's letter. Take Gineral Harrison, now for instance let him write a letter 1 dont think it would mnke tho day longer or shorter; but make him President, and then all his letters, so long as ho is Presi dent, would be considered by manv as very important; and some would think! the world was just beginning, and some that it was just ending. This shows then there must bo something in tho office; it may bo the $25,000 a year, and a big house free of rent, and the right of nom inating folks to office or something else, I don't know what but there is some thing that makes his notions better or sounder than before. Well then when he quits office, 1 don't see why ho should take ull the mother wit he found there I aiong v, in nun; ic should leave it where afraid to risk a trial in ho found it. lor thn nnt I .7 i iini i iiiii. m Hpn nnr uniu. ti.nt i .1 thncA l-mdnf r,.tiQ ti i .1 7 r ""vu noi me lltl u, lm uw wom u Btrength l0 t W1 ,om,n to an end by the notions of any man, I time, "and hence they are rcsZd fo give and to kiver it up turns to ajid blows u the hull business.

As to language, it is wen expressed; as to substance or practi cal purpose, a rare specimen of varvum in multn, lor a state paper from such a souree We look into it in vain for any proposed measure, worthy or the call of Congress, from the four corners of the Union, under burning August sun. It is true, certain tnings arc recommended to keen thei i tiovernmcnt in motion, and regulate its course. Hut how long will it move to ad vantage, it the main spring of action bo suffered to lose its elasticity if the pecu niary power of the people become more ana moro parlystfd, under the protracted pressure of a disordered currency? There is a material difference between a pressure from the want of money, and a pressure from tho want of current mo ney. This distinction is best illustrated by actual fact, by a case in point, in the late scarcity, a planter went about fifty miles to a town on the Mississippi, with bank notes which were quite current a ween or two Detorc, to purchaso a load of corn, and returned homo with an empty wagon, from the want of hard money. Thcro may have been many other similar hard cases; but we all know that this es sential article could not be obtained with our paper money, but at an enormous dis count. Only two instances of nressiiro from tho want of current money, are within tho knowledge o the writer hereof. One was in our last war with England; the other now exists. Pressures from tho want of all sorts of monev. have hnon nf frequent occurrence. There was one a few vears nftnr fhf rlnr ftf tV,n ...n. which seemed to bo sevcrelv felt i ci. v states, especially in South Carolina. And one step from the course marked out for him by his predecessor. Tho Hermitage is, virtually, still the source of a control ling executive influence; and hero, rather than with the people, lies the effective op position to a National Bank. This state of things between the lato and present executive, places the country in a aepioraoie condition at this trvinrr crisis. The latter cannot brook tho dis pleasure of the formor; and hence arises an insuperable obstacle to tho adoption of a remedy for the disordered state of the currency, which proved successful in a similar case on a lormer occasion. Jjcss difficulty would be found in the fact, that Mr. Van Buren is committed on tho ques tion by his declared hostility to a Bank of tho United btates. He is a man who can change with circumstances; and ho might avail himself of a great example, which it would bo no discredit to him to follow. This has been set by Mr. Madison on a sim ilar question, and in a very similar case. Mr. Madison also had committod himself on the question of a National Bank, when it was agitated for the first time under our federal government; and when that ques tion came up again, after a lapse of more than twenty years, he was President of the United States. There was his cele brated speech against the first bank, pre sented in print, and staring him in the face, when the bill for tho lato bank was presented tor his approval. What man on earth could be moro careful of consis tency of conduct than Mr. Madison, who was the principal architect in the design and erection of our political edifice, and ono of the most dignified and disinterested statesmen that ever lived? Yet he was ready to sacrafice tho pride of opinion to the good of his country. Ho saw in a dis ordered currency, and an empty treasury, I the necessity lor such an institution as a National Bank, and' he hesitated not to give it his sanction. But Mr. Van Buren savs, that a large majority of the people are deliberately and decidedly opposed to a national bank. This I do not believe. There havo al ways been many public men, chiefly of tho Virginia School, who were in princi ple averse to such an institution, and would on tho proper occasion speak or vote against it; but they were temperate men, and did not feel it their duty to agi tate the country or tho question. As to the people at large, in private life, although I have seen many ot them in most ol the States, I have no recollection of1 hearing one of them express a sentiment hostile to a Bank of the United States. After the ate Bank was established, I had still no small opportunity of learning the public opinion on the subject; and it is not within my memory, that 1 heard a single private individual complain ot the measure believe no act ol Congress ever produced ess discontent, l he people were satisfied with the relief which the Bank afforded them; and so they remained until the ate President made war upon the institu tion. The effect of this, however, was not a change of opinion, but a change of feeling not conviction, but excitement. which Dccamo contagious, and infected tho politics of the day. Nor did political ad venturers lail to avail themselves of this morbid stato of the public mind. Decla mation, destitute of reason and fact, roused p the passions ot "Udder no circumstances, gckkm, will I vote for a Bank.

To the Editor of the Southerner: Dear Sit: In regard to what occurred between Mr. Claiborne and myself on the Bank question, I will make a'brief state ment. On the Saturday previous to the election, Major Catlett called on me, and gave me a bundle of tickets, which he said Mr. Claiborne wished mc to distribute at the ensuing election, and at the same time told me that Mr. C. would not be able to call on me personally, but that ho wished mo to understand that ho was in favor of a National Bank not a Riddle Bank, hut a Bank founded upon the Treasury, with branches in the several States, as they were needed. I remarked to Major Cat lett, that this would not satisfy me. I told him that I was a personal friend to Mr. Claiborne, but that I would not suffer my personal feelings to bias my vote; that at such a time as this I must be con trolled by higher principles; that our country had exhibited unparallelled pros perity with Biddle's Bank as tho organ of exchange, and that I did not think the system could be improved. Ahnnt two hours after, Mr. Claiborne did cal) on mc. He told me that ho was in favor of a National Bank. Ho asked mo if I had seen Gerr. Hamilton's letter; I replied that I had. He told me that he was in favor of the principles contained in that letter throughout. He wished me to say to tho voters of this precinct, that he went to the fullest extent for the principles of that letter, and that he ran upon that ground, lie said ho did not pretend to be a great financier, but was willing to join cordially with the great statesmen of tho day in re lieving tho country from its embarrass ments. That he being a planter, was as much interested in it as any one. He went still further, and said he was in favor of having the accruing Deposit es placed in the present United States Bank, as a tem porary measure of relief for the purpose of restoring confidence, until something moro effectual could be devised and adopted. And he pledged himself to me, that within ten days after tho opening of Congress, provided ho was elected, and in case no other member moved the subject, ho would himsolt niaitc a motion to that effect. Perhaps, said I, if it should be thought best to take up and re-charter the present United estates Bank of Pennsylva nia, you would support the measure. He assured mo positively and unequivocally, that he would. I told him that I was very glad of having had this interview with him, for if 1 had not, I should have voted against him. On tho succeeding Monday, at the polls, I stated to the voters the subject of this conversation. I told them that I was per fectly satisfied with Mr. Claiborne's prin ciples respecting a National Bank; that ho had concoded every thing that I could i a n )t p x ie A' f 'P ha W lit S r V n T t p H if

It would seem, from the latest accounts, that there is likely to be trouble in the wigwam at Washington. The President's urgent recommendation of the sub-treasury system has not met with the approba tion of all his adherents, and a split in the party will of consequence take place. The great majority of the supporters of the administration give their suffrages in favor of the scheme of divorcing the government from the banks, and commit ting the custody, transfer and disburse ment of tho public revenue to the officers of the government, while another division of the party, inferior in numbers, but for midable for talent and influence, lean to wards measures of a more moderate ond conservative character, recommending the re-establishment of a National Banking Institution, under guarded limitations and judicious restrictions. This early schism in the ranks of the administration looks rather ominous. It does, not require the eiltof vaticination, to foresee, that a strong and rouoh son. lies before the Bark of State.
