S y r THE GAZETTE: By EDGAR SNOWDEN._

REMARKS OF MR. CALHOUN, On the motion of Tfr. W ebster, for leave to intro duce a bill to continue the charter of the Bank of the United States foi six years after the ex piration of the present charter. 1 rise, said Mr. C., in order to avail myself of an early opportunity to express my opinion on the measure proposed by the Senator from Mas sachusetts, and the questions immediately con nected with it, on the ground that, on a subject so immediately connected with the interests or every class in the community, there viioula be an early declaration of their sentiments jy the members of this body, so that all might know what to expect, and on what to calculate. I shall vote for the motion ot the Senator, not because I aporove of the measure he propos es but because I consider it due, in courtesy, to grant leave, unless there be strong reasons to the contrary, which is not the case in this in stance; but while I am prepared to vote for his motion, and, let me add, to do ample justice to his motives for introducing the bill, I cannot ap prove of the measure he proposes. In every view, which I have been able to take, it is ob jectionable. Among the objections, I place the uncertainty as to its object. It is left perfectly open to conjecture, whether a renewal of the charter is intended, or a mere continuance with the view of affording the bank time to wind up its affairs; and what increases the uncertainty i9, if we compare the provisions of the proposed bill with the ope or the other of these objects, it is equally unsuited to either. If a renewal of the charter be intended, six years is too short; if a continuance, too long. I, however state this as a mere minor objection. There is another of far more decisive character; it settles nothing, leaves every thing unfixed—it perpetuates the present struggle which so injuriously agitates the country—a struggle of bank against bank— of one set of opinions against another; and pro longs the whole, without even an intervening armistice, to the year 1842—a period that covers two presidential terms, and by inevitable conse quence, running, for two successive pi eviden tial elections, the politics of the country into the bank question, and the bank question into poli tics, with the mutual corruption which must be .1 ii _i_i ____j engendered; ana, uuimg me i ing the currency of the country, which the pub lic interest requires should have the utmost sta bility, in a state of uncertainty and fluctuation. But why should I pursue the objections to the plan proposed by the Senator from Massachu setts, (Mr. Webster.) He himself acknowledg es the measure to be defective, and that he would prefer one of a more permanent charac ter. He has not proposed this as the best mea sure, but has brought it forward under a suppos ed necessity—under the impression that some thing must be done—something prompt and im mediate, to relieve the existing distress which overspreads the land. I concur with him in rela tion to the distress—that it is deep and extensive; that it tell upon upon us suddenly, and in the midst of prosperity almost unexampled; that it is daily consigning hundreds to poverty and mi sery; blasting the hopes of the enterprising; ta king employment and bread from the laborer, ancf working a fearful change in the relative condition of the moneyed man and the money dealer on oneside, and the man of business and the man of property on the other—taking up the former rapidly to the top of the wheel, whilst it is whirling the latter, with equal rapidity, to the bottom. While l thus agree with the Senator as to the distress, I am also sensible that there are great public emergencies in which no per manent relief can be afforded, and when the wisest are obliged to resort to expedients; to palliate and to temporize in order to gain time with a view to apply a more effectual remedy: but there are also emergencies of precisely the opposite character; when the best and mostper maneiitis the only practical measure; and when mere expedients tend but to distract, to divide and confound, and thereby to delay or deteat 'i all relief; and such, viewed in all its relations and bearings, I consider the present; and that the Senator from Massachusetts has not also so considered it, I attribute to the fact that, of the two questions blended in the subject under con sideration, lYe has given an undue prominence to that which has by far the least relative im portance; I mean the questions of the bank and of the currency. As a mere bank question, as viewed by the Senator, it would be a matter of but little im portance whether the renewal should be for six years or for a longer period, and a preference might very properly be given to one or the other as it might be supposed most likely to succeed; but I must say, that, in my opinion, in selecting the period of si\* years, he ha*-; taken that which will be much less likely to succeed than one of a reasonable and proper duration. But had he turned his view to the other and more promi nent question involved; had he regarded the question as a question of currency, and that the great point was to give it uniformity, perma nency, and safety; that in effecting these essen tial objects the bank is a mere subordinate agent, to be used or not to be used, and to be modified as to its duration and other provisions wholly in reference to the higher question of the currency, 1 cannot think that he would ever have proposed the measure which he has brought forward, which leaves, as 1 have alrea dy said, every thing connected with the subject in a state of uncertainty and fluctuation. aii icei unu me currency is a aencaie suujeci, requiring to be touched with the utmost caution; but in order that it may be seen, as well as felt, why it is so delicate, why slight touches, either in depressing or elevating it, agitate and con vulse the whole community, 1 will pause to ex plain the cause. If we take the aggregate pro perty of a community, that which forms the cur rency constitutes, in value, a very small pro portion of the whole. What this proportion is in our country and other comrtfercial and trad ing communities, is somewhat uncertain. I speak conjecturallv in fixing it as one to twen ty-five or thirty; though I presume that is not far from the truth; and yet this small proportion of the property of the community regulates the value of ail the rest, and forms the medium of circulation by which all its exchanges are ef fected; bearing, in this respect, a striking simi larity, considering the diversity of the subjects, to the blood iu the human or animal system. If we turn our attention to the laws which govern the circulation, we shall find one of the most important to be, th'bt, as the circulation is decreased or increased, the rest of the property will, all other circumstances remaining the same, be decreased or increased in value exact ly in the same proportion. To illustrate: If a community should have an aggregate amount of property of thirty-one millions of dollars, of which one million constitutes its currency; if that one million be reduced one-tenth part, that is to say, one hundred thousand dollars, the va-! 1 lue of the rest will be reduced in like manner one-tenth part, that is, three million of dollars. And here a very important fact discloses itselt, which explains why the currency should be touched with such delicacy, and why stability and uniformity are such essential qualities; 1 mean, that a small absolute reduction of the currency makes a great absolute reduction of the value of the entire property of the commu nity, as we see in the case supposed; where a reduction of one hundred thousand dollars in the currency reduces the aggregate value of property three millions of dollars, a sum thirty times greater than the reduction of the curren cy. From this results an important considera tion. If we suppose the entire currency to be in the hands of one portion of the community, and the property in the hands of the other por tion, the former, by having the currency in thou possession, might control the value of all the property of the community, and possess them selves of it at their pleasure. Take the case al ready selected; and suppose that those who hold the currency diminish it one-halt by abstract ing it from circulation; the effect of which would be to reduce the circulation to five hun dred thousand dollars; the value of property would also be reduced one half; that is, fifteen I millions of dollars. Let the process be revers I ed, and the money abstracted gradually restor r ed to circulation, and the value of the property would again be increased to thirty millions. It i must be obvious, that bv alternating these pro i cesses, and purchasing at the point of the great est depression, when the circulation is the least, and selling at the point of the greatest eleva tion, when it is the fullest, the supposed monied class, who could at pleasure increase or dimi nish the circulation, by abstracting or restoring it, might also at pleasure control the entire pro perty of the country. Let it be borne in mind, that the exchangeable value of the circulating medium, compared with the property and the business of the community, remains fixed and can never be diminished or increased by in creasing or diminishing its quantity; while on the contrary the exchangeable value of the pro perty, compared to the currency, must increase or decrease with every addition or diminution of the latter. It results from this, that there is a dangerous antagonist relation between those who hold or command the currency and the rest of the community; but, fortunately for the country, the holders of property and of the currency, are so blended as not to consti tute separate classes. Yet, it is worthy of re mark—it deserves strongly to attract the atten tion of those who have charge of the public af fairs—that under the operation of the banking system, and that particular distribution of pro perty existing in the shape of credit or stocks, public and private, which so strikingly distin guishes modern society irom an mat preceaea ft, there is a stiwmg tendency to create a sepa rate monied interest, accompanied with all the dangers which must necessarily result from such separation, which deserves to be most carefully watched and resisted. 1 do not stand ht're the partisan of any parti cular class in society—the rich or the poor, the property holder or the money holder; and, in making these remarks, 1 am not actuated by the slightest feelingof opposition to the latter. My object is simply to point out important relations that exist between them, resulting from the laws which govern the currency, in order that the necessity for a uniform, stable, and safe curren cy,to guard against the dangerous control ol one class over another, may be clearly seen. 1 stand in my place simply as a Senator from South Carolina, to represent her on this floor, and to advance the common interest of the State, as far as we have the constitutional power, and as as far as it can be alone consistently with equity and justice to the parts. 1 am the partisan, as I have said, of no class, nor let me add, of any political party. I am neither of the opposition nor of tiie administration. If 1 act with the for mer in any instance, it is because I approve of their course on the particular occasion; and I shall always be happy to act with them when I do approve. If 1 oppose the administration— if I desire to see power change hands—it is be cause I disapprove of the general course of those in authority; because they have departed from the principles on which they came into office; because, instead of using the immense power and patronage put in their hands to se cure the liberty of the country, and advance the public good, they have perverted them into party instruments for personal objects. But mine-has not been, nor will it be, a systematic opposition. Whatever measure of theirs I may deem right, I shall cheerfully support; and I on ly desire that they shall afford me more frequent occasions for support, and fewer for opposition, than they heretofore have done. With these impressions, and entertaining a deep conviction that an unfixed, unstable, and fluctuating currency is to be ranked amongst the most fruitful sources of evil, whether viewed po litically or in reference to the business transac tions of the country, I cannot give my consent to any measure that does not place the curren cy on a solid foundation. If l thought this de termination would delay the relief so necessary to mitigate the present calamity, it would be to me a subject of the deepest regret. 1 feel that sympathy, which I trust I ought, for the suffering of so many of my fellow-citizens, who see their hopes daily withered; l however, console my self with the reflection that delay will not be the result, but, on the contrary, relief will be has tened by the view which 1 take of the subject.— l hold it impossible that any thing can be effect ed liuii. if\vt:u in mat ii£;ui. lllc: '-'i mis House, and of the other branch of Congress, is probably definitively made up. In the Senate, it is known that we have three parties, whose views, considering it as a bank question, appear to be irreconcileable. All hope, then, of relief must centre in taking a more elevated view and in considering it in its true light, as a subject of currency. Thus regarded, I shall be surprised if, on full investigation, there will not appear a re markable coincidence of opinion, even between those whose views, on a slight inspection, would seem to be contradictory. Let us then proceed to the investigation of the subject under the as pect which l have proposed. What, then, is the currency of the United States? What its present state and condition? These are the questions which I propose now to consider, with a view of ascertaining what j is the disease? what the remedy? and what j the means of applying it, that may be necessary j to restore our currency to a sound condition? j The legal currency of this country, that in which alone debts can be discharged accord ing to law, are certain gold, silver, and copper 1 coins coined at the mint of the United States, and issued by their.authority, under an express provision of the Constitution. Such is the law. What now are the facts? That the currency consists almost exclusively of bank notes; gold having entirely disappeared, and silver, in a 1 great measure, expelled by banks instituted by j twenty five distinct and independent powers, 1 and notes issued under the authority of the di- rection of those institutions. They are, in point jf fact, the mint ol the United States. lliey 1 coin the actual money, (for s“ch "’e must i call bank notes,) and regulate its issue and con- sequently its value. If we enquire as to their 1 number, the amount of their issue and other i circumstances calculated to show their actual condition, we slftll find that, so rapid has been their increase, and so vanons their changes, that no accurate information can be ha According to the latest and be.-t that I In e been able to ascertain, they number at least four hundred and fifty, with a capitalof n“l one hundred and forty-five millions of dollars, with an issue exceeding seventy millions; and the whole of this immense fabric standing upon a metallic currency, of less than fifteen millions of dollars, of which the greater partis held by the Bank of the United States. If we compare the notes iti circulation with the metallic curren cy in their vaults, we shall find the proportion about six to one; and if we compare the latter with the demands that may be made upon the banks, we shall find that the proportion is about one to eleven. If we examine the tendency of the system at this moment, we shall find that it is on the increase—rapidly on the increase. There is now pending a project of a ten million bank before the Legislature of New York; but recent- ]y one of five millions was established in Ken tucky; within a short period one of a large cap ital was established in Tennessee, besides oth ers in agitation in several of the other Stales.— [Here Mr. Pouter, of Louisiana, said that one of eleven millions had just been established in that State.] This increase is not accidental. It may be laid down as a law, that where two currencies are permitted to circulate in any country, one of a cheap and the other of a dear material, the former necessarily tends to grow upon the lat ter, and will ultimately expel it from circulation unless its tendency to increase be restrained by a powerful and efficient check. Experience tests the trull) of this remark, as the history of the banking system clearly illustrates. The Senator from Massachusetts truly said that the Bank of England was derived from that of Am sterdam, as ours in turn are from that of En gland. Throughout its progress the truth of what I have stated to be a law of the system Ts strongly evinced. The Bank of Amsterdam was merely a bank of depositc—a store-house for the safe-keeping of the bullion and precious metal brought into that commercial metropolis, through all the channels ot its widely extended trade. It was placed under the custody of the city authorities; and, on the deposite, a certifi cate was issued as evidence of the fact, which w as transferable, so as to entitle the holder to demand the return. An important fact was i .1 i _„:__ C l i. _ A soon uiscjuseu; iihu ix migt; pui nun ui posites might be withdrawn, and that the resi due would be sufficient to meet tiie returning certificates; or, what is the same in effect, that certificates might be issued without making a deposite. This suggested the idea of a bank of discount as well as deposite. The fact thus dis closed fell too.much in with the genius of the system to be lost, and accordingly, when trans planted to England it suggested the idea of a bank of discount and of deposite; the very es sence of which form of banking, that on which their profit depends, consists in issuing a great er amount of notes than it lias of specie in its vaults. But the system is regularly progressing under the impulse of the laws that govern it. from its present form to a mere paper machine —a machine for fabricating and issuing notes, not convertible into specie. Already has it once reached this condition, both in England and the United States, and from which it has been for ced back, in both, to a redemption of its notes with great difficulty. This natural tendency of the system is accel erated in our country by peculiar causes, which have greatly increased its progress. There are two powerful causes in operation. The one re sulting from that rivalry which must ever take place in States situated as ours are, under one, general Government, and having a free and open commercial intercourse. The introduc tion of the banking system in one State neces sarily, on this principle, introduces it into ail the others, of which we have seen a striking illus tration on the part of Virginia and some of the other southern States, which entertained, on principle, strong aversion to the system; yet they were compelled, after a long and stubborn resistance, to yield their objections, or permit their circulation to be furnished by the surround ing States at the expense of their own capital and commerce. The same cause which thus compels one State to imitate the example of an other, in introducing the system from self de fence, will compel the other States, in like man ner and from the same cause, to enlarge and give increased activity to the banking opera tion, whenever any one of the States sets the example of so doing on its part; and thus, by mutual action and reaction, the whole system is rapidly accelerated to the final destiny which I have assigned. This is strikingly exemplified in the rapid pro gress of the system since its first introduction into our country. At the adoption of our Con stitution, a period of forty-five years, there were but three banks in the United States, the amount of whose capital 1 do not now recollect, but it was very small. In this short space, they have increased to four hundred and fifty, with a ca pital of one hundred and forty-five millions, as has already been stated—an increase exceeding nearly an hundred fold the proportionate in crease of our wealth and population, as great as tney nave oeen. But it is not in numbers only that they have increased; there has, in the same time, been a rapid advance in the proportion which their notes in circulation bear to the specie in their vaults. Some twenty or thirty years ago it was not considered safe for the issues to exceed the specie by more than two and a half or throe for one; but now. taking the whole, and includ ing the Bank of the United States with the State banks, the proportion is about six to one; and, excluding that bank, it would very greatly ex ceed that proportion. This increase of paper in proportion to metal, result* from a cause which deserves much more notice than it has hereto fore attracted. It originates mainly in the num ber of the banks. 1 will proceed to illustrate it. The Senator from New York, (Mr. Wrigiit,) in assigning his reasons for believing the Bank af the United States to be more dangerous than those of the States, said that one bank was more dangerous than many. That, in some respects, may be true; but in one, and that a most impor- 1 tant one, it is strikingly the opposite—I mean 1 n the tendency of the system to increase.— When there is but one bank, the tendency to in crease is not near so strong as where there are many, as illustrated in England, where the sys- i :em has advanced much less rapidly, in propor- ion to the wealth and population of the king- lorn, than in the United States. But where there i sno limitation as to their number, the increase 1 vill be inevitable, so long as banking continues j o be among the most certain, eligible and pro- t itable employment of capital, as is now the case. With these inducements, there must be j constant application for new banks, whenever here is the least prospect of profitable employ- nent—banks to be founded mainly on nominal i md fictitious capital, and adding but little to i hat already in existence; and with our just and Kitural aversion to monopoly, it is difficult, on principles of equality and justice, to resist such iDDlications. The admission of a new bank tends o diminish the profits of the old, and between he aversion of the old to reduce their income, and the desire of the new to acquire protits, the result is an enlargement of discounts, alfected by a mutual spirit of forbearance; an indisposi tion on the part of each to oppress the othei and finally, the creation of a community of feel ing to stigmatize and oppose those, whether ba'nks or individuals, who demand specie in payment of their notes. This community of feeling, which ultimately identifies the whole, as a peculiar and distinct interest in the commu nity, increases and becomes more and more in tense, just in proportion as banks multiply; as they become, if 1 may use the expression, too populous, and from the pressure of increasing numbers' in maintaining their existence, there results a corresponding increase of issues, in proportion to their means; which explains tlu* present extraordinary disproportion between specie and notes, in those States where banks have been most multiplied; equal, in some, to sixteen to one. There results, from this state of things, some1 political considerations which de mand the profound attention of all who value the liberty and peace of the country. While the banking system rests on a solid foundation, there will be, on their part, but little dependence on the Government, and but little means by which the Government can influence them, and as little disposition, on the part of the banks, to be connected with it; but in the pro gressofthe system, when their number is greatly multiplied, and their issues, in proportion to their means, are correspondingly increased, the con dition of the banks becomes more and more cri tical. Every adverse event in the commercial world, or political movement that disturbs the present state of things, agitates and endangers them. They become timid, and anxious for their safety, and necessarily courtthose in pow er, in order to secure their protection. Proper ty is, in its nature, timid, and seeks protection; and nothing is more grateful to Government than to become a protector. A union is the re sult; and when that union takes place—when the Government, in fact, becomes the bank di rection. regulating its favors and accommoda tion, the downfall of liberty is at hand. Are 4- inrll^atinne til'll n !iro lint f£J V IV> m M V ed from this state of things? Do we not behold, in those events which have so deeply agitated us within the last few months, and which have interrupted all the business transactions of this community, a strong tendency to this union on the part of one department of this Government, and a portion of the banking system? lias not this union been, in fact, consummated in the largest and most commercial of the States?— What is the safety fund system of New York, but a union between the banks and the State, and a consummation, by law, of that community of feeling in the banking system, which I have attempted to illustrate; the object of which is to extend their discounts; and to obtain which the interior banks of that State have actually put themselves under the immediate protection of the Government? The effects have been strik ing. Already have they become substantially mere paper machines; several having not more than from one to two cents in specie to the dol lar, wlietrcompared with their circulation; and taking the aggregate, their average condition will be found to be but little better. I care not (said Mr. C.) whether the present commission ers are partisans of the present State Adminis tration or not; or whether the assertion of the Senator from New York, (Mr. Wright.) that the Government of the State has not interfered in the control of these institutions, be correct. Whether it lias taken place or not, interference is inevitable. In such a state f weakness, a feel ing of dependence is unavoidable, and the con trol of the Government over the action of the banks, whenever that control shall become ne cessary to subserve the ambition or the avarice of those in power, is certain. Such is the strong tendency of our banks to terminate their career in the paper system—in an open suspension of specie payment. When ever that event occurs, the progress to convul sion and revolution will be rapid. The current cy will become local, and each State will have a powerful interest to depreciate its currency more rapidly than its neighbor, as the means, at the same time, of exempting itself from the tax es of the Government, and drawing the com merce of the country to its ports. This was strongly exemplified after thesuspension of spe cie payment during the late war, when the de preciation made the most rapid progress, till checked by the establishment of the present Bank of the United States, and when the foreign trade of the country was as rapidly converging i to the point of the greatest depreciation, with a view of exemption from duties, by paying in the debased currency of the place. What then is the disease which afflicts the sys tem; what the remedy; and what the means of applying it? These are the questions which I shall next proceed to consider. What I have al ready stated points out the disease. It consists in a great and growing disproportion between themetalic and paper ci dilation of the country," effected through the insti umentality of the banks, u disproportion uauy ana nouny inci easing kin der the impulse of most powerful causes, which are rapidly accelerating the country to that state of convulsion and revolution which 1 have indi cated. The remedy is to arrest its future pro gress, and to diminish the existing disproportion —to increase the metals and to diminish the pa per—advancing till the currency shall be restor ed to a sound, safe, and settled condition. On these two points all must be agreed. There is j no man of any party capable of reflecting and who will take the pains to inform himself, but must agree that our currency is in a dangerous condition, and that the danger is increasing; nor is there any one who can doubt that the only safe and effectual remedy is to diminish the dis proportion to which I have refered. Here the extremes unite—the Senator from Missouri, [Mr. Benton,) who is the open and avowed ad vocate of a pure metalic currency, and the Se nator from Massachusetts, (Mr. Webster,) who stands here as the able and strenuous advocate nf the banking system, are on this pointed unit ed, and must move from it in the same direc ion, though it may be the design of the one to go ihrough, and of the other to halt after a moder ate advance. There is another point in which all must ae agreed; that the remedy must be gradual— he change, from the present to another and sounder condition, slow and cautious. The ne cessity for this results from that highly delicate lature of currency which I have already illus rated. Any sudden and great change from our jresent to even a sounder condition, would agi ate and convulse society to the centre. On another point there can be but little disa- 1 rreement. Whatever may be the different theo ;etical opinions of the members of the Senate, Is to the extent to which the reformation of r currency should be carried, even those ul* ;hink it may be carried practically and safety the restoration of metallic currency, to the cut exclusion of paper, must agree that the restore tion ought not to be carried further than a ap tiousand a slow' experience shall prove that can be done, consistently with the prosperity Jr the country, in the existing fiscal commercin' condition of the world. To go beyond the noint to which experience shall show it is proper to would be to sacrifice the public interest mcr to a favorite conception. There may be n't* matelya disagreement of opinion where tl 1 point is, but since all must be agreed to m. forward in the same direction and at the si place, let us set _ont in the spirit of h u ny and peace, though we intend to stop at nJ-r ferent points. It may be that, enlightened Vl experience, those who intended to stop at p' nearest point may be disposed to advance 1 ther, and that those who intended the fartii^ may halt on this side, so that finally all nJU agree to terminate the journey together. This brings us to the question of how shall salutary a change be effected? Whatthe niea and the mode of applications? A great i difficult question, on which some diversify T opinion may be expected. No one can be more sensible than am of responsibility that must be incurred m ing measures on questions of so much Vi;- tude, and which in so distracted a state of public mind, must effect seriously, great a J fluential interests. But this is no time to q V responsibility. Tlie danger is great and nv't cing, and delay hazardous, if not ruinou Wliile, however, 1 would not shun, 1 have sought the responsibility. I have waited form ers, and had any one proposed anadequat. medy, I would have remained, silent. And here, said Mr. Calhoun, let me the deep regret w hich I Teel that the admiiiNtu lion, with all that weight of authority which be longs to its power and immense patronage not, instead of the deposite question, w hich ki caused such agitation and distress, taken and greaf subject of the currency; examined gravely and deliberately in all its bcaii.^/ pointed c»ut its diseased condition; desi.natc the remedy, and proposed some safe, gradua and effectual means of applying it. Had course been pursued, my zealous and hear co-operation would not have been wanting Permit me also to express a similar regret, tl, the administration having failed in this ; point of duty, the opposition, with all its wi... ana laiems, neaaeu op uiis question oytlu.* ilh tinguished and able Senator from Masvacl.', setts, who is so capable of comprehendin'; t subject in all its bearings, had not brought ward, under its auspices, some permanent sy tem of measures, based upon a deliberate a. mature investigation into the cause of the ex isting disease, and calculated io remedy the disordered state of the currency. What mil have been brought forward by them with sue! fair prospects of success, has been thrown 01 more incompetent hands; unaided by patron age or influence, saving only that influence which truth, clearly developed, and honest!; and zealously advanced, maybe .supposed possess; and on which 1 must wholly rely. But to return to the subject. Whatever d versity of sentiment there may be as to U. me#ns, on one point all must be agreed; notliii. i effectual can be done; no check interposed restore or arrest the progress of the system t; the action of the States. The reasons already assigned to prove that banking by one St;: compels all others to bank, and that the exo of banking in one, in like manner compels a. others to like excess, equally demonstrate tin it is impossible for the States, acting separate.; to interpose any means to prevent thecatasti phe which certainly awaits the system ami per haps the Government itself, unless the gnat a:.: growing danger to which I refer be timely in effectually arrested. There is no power at; where, but in this Government—the joint age of all the States, and through which the coni', of the action of the whole can be effected, a quate to this great task. The responsibility upon us, and upon us alone. The meat means there be, must be applied by our hand or not applied at all—a consideration, in sogrn an emergency, and in the presence of such::, minent danger, calculated. I would snp])0.se. dispose all to co-operation,and to allay evnyp ty feeling in the heart even of the least patriot. What means do we possess, and how cant. be applied. If the entire banking system was under he mediate control of the General Governin' there would be no difficulty in devising and effectual remedy to restore the equiM'tii so desirable between the specie and the p which compose our currency. But the la* otherwise. With the exception of the flank the U. States, all the other banks owe men gin to the authority of the several State', are under their immediate control, which i sents the great difficulty experienced in dew the proper means of effecting the remedy. all feel to be so desirable. f To be concluded in our DRAWS TO-MORROW Virginia State Lottery, For the benefit oj the Pctersbvrp Rant Class No. 6 for 1831. _ Will be drawn atCatts’ Tavern, Me t m Saturday, March 29 HIGHEST PRIZE >20,0“" Tickets $5 00; halves 2 50; quarter- j |i3 Lowest two number prize -■n,0‘ To be had in a variety of number.- r'l J.

^ALEXANDRIA: 'J^IDAY MORNING, MARCH 28, 1834. THE NEW YORK SAFETY FUND BANKS. Yesterday’s mail brought us accounts from Yew York, which go to show that the celebrat ed Safety Fund System of that state is in dan rer of a blow tip. Without comment to-day, 9 a(jd extracts from the New York City pa PerS* a* 1 The Evening Star says: a wre have news at last, and such news as 11 make the whole nation stare with surprise, r over nor Marcy has sent a message to the Le gislature announcing, what we have long ex £lScted that tne safety fund system was utterly Pe and broken down; and asks the Legisla f re to create F0UR M1LLI0NS of stock to ;u n those private institutions, to keep them om stopping payment. The Governor consi rs pressure in the community to arise from V e payment of cash duties, and the course of retrenchment pursued by the U. S. Bank; he thinks the removal of the deposites to state in stitutions was quite a wise measure, and has af forded relief—yet the State ought to loan FOUR MILLIONS to keep up the wretched political humbug—the Safety Fund concern,—at least until Van Buren is elected President.” The New York Commercial says:— a Even at the hazard of bei#g denounced as panic makers, we are constrained to publish at large in this paper, a most extraordinary Message, trusmitted to both houses ot the Legis lature yesterday, by Governor Marcy. It is an artful document, and may, perhaps, for the mo ment, blind more effectually, the eyes of those who do not wish to see. But the disguise is too thin to prevent a scrutinizing public from read ing in this message, a public confession that the Safety Fund Bubble is on the point of bursting —a confession, in fact, amounting to all but that of positive insolvency!—Is it not so? Look at the facts. Here we have a brood of Banks extended over the whole State—bound together by the far-famed S«/e/y-Chain—all interested in sustaining each—enjoying already not only the use of the Government deposites, but of the Canal Fund of between four and five millions a a.a. _i_ _ i. i _ a _ _ nr -l ai _ _ more—ana yei uucrjy unuuie iu auuiu me peu ple any relief in the existing state of pecuniary pressure. Nay, more: by the Governor’s own showing, they have already reduced their cir culation, and curtailed their discounts to the amount of three millions, during the last three months—thus reducing their own liabilities to that amount; and are stilf in want of a loan from the State of four or five millions more,— unquestionably, disguise it as they will—for the purpose of sustaining their own credit. Thus instead of affording relief to the people,—though created expressly for the public accomodation —the Chief Magistrate of the State now steps in and calls upon the people to rescue the banks!” We conclude the subject to-day with the fol lowing extract from the Albany Evening Jour nal: ''Dying speech and confession of the Albany Regency!—Governor Marcy has made an ex traordinary disclosure to the Legislature, in a Message transmitted to both Houses to-day.— We have not had an opportunity of seeing the paper and can only speak of it from hearing it read in the Assembly. It avows the existence of a state of things which will startle the peo pie. It is admitted by the Executive Document, that the safety Fund Banks, instead of relieving the people, require the aid of the State! These Banks already possess several millions of dol lars belonging to the Canal Fund, and still the Governor recommends the creation of FOUR MILLIONS OF STATE STOCK for their re lief! This is a most unprecedented measure. It reverses the whole order of Banking. It pro poses, at a season of embarrassment and dis tress, that the people should actually relieve the Banks! The question is distinctly presented whether the State of New York will lend the Banks FOUR MILLION OF DOLLARS to sustain Jackson and Van Burenin a wanton and rui nous EXPERIMENT” upon the currency of the country. The Legislature will obey the Kegency, unless it is recalled to its duty by an overwhelming burst of the public indignation. “The State Banks already have the Govern ment Deposites and the Canal Fund. It is now proposed io loan them $400,000 more! Will this be tolerated? Will the people of New-York suffer millions of dollars to be us^d for party pur poses. and in the end, perhaps, be forever lost? We have been constantly assured, until this moment, that the State Banks were abundantly prepared for every emergency. But this Mes sage dispels that illusion. The Executive has made a fatal thrust at the credit of the local Hanks by proposing such an extraordinary mea sure for their relief “Inshort, we look upon this message as the second act of folly and delusion which caused the lawless Removal of the Deposites. The Re gency have began to tinker with the great inter ests of the currency. This species of quack ['Experiments” will soon place this great State in the condition of the man who was well, withed to be better, took Physic, and died MR. CALHOUN’S SPEECH. Public curiosity being much excited with le nn**l 4 _ aI sm _ 1L f Kn P anlr r—m iu mu opeecn oi Air. question, we republish it. The views taken will *°mmand great attention. __ POTOMAC FISHERIES. Hie Potomac Fisheries are now in ‘{the full !;^c of successful experiment/' We wish good ll'ck to all engaged. The fish are beginning to lun finely. At the Greenway Landing, w*e hear, they are already catching from one to two thou a- j aud shad at a haul—a thing that is uncommon *0 early in the season. Supplies of fish from :ie landing below are daily arriving at our wharves. Our market is now also well supplied with ex cellent table fish—such as shad, perch, and 'Ome of the finest rock-fish we remember ever c have seen. A FACT-for Mr. Brown, of N. C. Mr. Brown, of N. C., lately made a speech in 1 ie Senate about matters and things in general, and tobacco in particular. We will give him a 1,lct to go upon in his next speech. A gentle man from Maryland sold tobacco to a mer chant in this town, this week, for $5, for which rf was offered $7 last fall—and this, too, in the ‘ice of a short crop and improved prices in Eu °pe So much for Tobacco. ;i BLOODLESS—as yet.” The report of the death of Mr. Katz in Phila delphia, who was said to have been killed in an affray which took place in consequence of the late great meeting there, turns out to be incor rect. Mr. Katz \vii3 severely wounded, but is not dead. In these times this Harry Clay of ours seems to be Argus-eyed. He sees every thing, watch es every thing, and apparently knows every thing that is going on. Wo to the man that treats him ill, and welcome to the man that treats him well. As Mr. Frelinghuysen said of Mr. Biddle, he is calm as a summer’s morn ing,” so one may say of Mr. Clay. Alive as he is to the sufferings of the Nation, and enthu siastic as he is in behalf of the country, he keeps in an admirable temper, calmly setting facts before the People, and demonstrating what Law and Liberty demand at their hands. I was de lighted with a good humored hit he gave Mr. Van Buren yesterday,—and, as happy as was the hit, yet happier was the manner. Mr. Van Buren, you will notice, declined taking upon himself the responsibility of vouching for the respectfulness of the language used in the York (Pa.) Resolutions. We are in arrange way,” said Mr. Clay. The first officer of the govern ment is for taking upon himself all responsibi lity. The second officer is for taking no re sponsibility.” “Now, continued Mr. Clay, “if you would divide the matter: if the first officer would be a little less committal, and the second officer a little less non-committal, (this with a knowing shake of the head, and a face all smiles,) then, the government would get along much more harmoniously.”—Balt. Pat. Girard Bank Stock.—It is known to most of our readers that one of the meetings held in the Girard Banking House on the 17th inst. resolved to place a book in the Merchants’ Coffee House, in which stockholders desiring the restoration of the deposites, should inscribe their names, with the number of shares they hold. Yester day morning the book presented signatures for 15,019 shares, which is a mnjoi ity of the whole number; add as it is known that many thou sand shares are not available for uses of this kind, it may be considered as determined that i i i i. i hi. _ i _ i _ ii uic ucpuMics snail uc ifMuit'u, CAptruiany as it was understood that the officers of the bank approved of the measure recommended by the meeting.— U. S. Gaz. Marriage Extraordinary.—In Woodstock, N. B. Mr. J. Munson to Mr. Henry Allen. It ap pears that Munson and S. J Page of Hallowell, originally came from Connecticut, and set up business in Hallowed on a very extensive scale; shortly after, Mr. Page went to Connecticut and brought back Henry Aden as a clerk in his store. Every body was well pleased with Hen ry Allen, and he was offered the highest wages when he left Mr. P's. employ, but he would listen to no oilers but those of Mr. Munson who was about establishing himself in Iloulton. Here again Henry Allen displayed the same activity; exciting the same admiration of the men by his judgment in business, and knowl edge of accompts, for he appeared to be quite young; but the astonishment of the ladies at his accomplishments was without bounds, for no woman in the country could sew, iron, or man age household affairs equal to Henry Aden, as he frequently exercised his skid in these matters at his boarding house. But the denoument came at last—he{went over to Woodstock with his employer, put on wo man’s clothes, and was married to him as a Miss-. It seems she had been engaged to Munson in Connecticut, but her father refusing to sanction the match, she ran away, and ended the courtship in the above manner. Hancock Adv. SHIP NEWS.

THE discovery of the Chloride of Soda and its uses, by Labarraque, of Paris, was an addition to the resources of medicine of the ut most importance as a neutralizing agent. To counteract at once the principle of decay, which commencing imperceptibly, slowly ga thers strength, and finally destroys, is the im portant service which can be derived from the use of the Chloride of Soda, when administered l. _i j :_~ r k rP v. Iw i in oam cx 11 4 tai c. i i x u ux mu x being, in the great majority of cases, the result of neglect and a gradual accumulation of the i principle above alluded to, it became obvious, j from the earliest experiments, that the Chloride was the proper remedy and preferable to pow I ders, dentrifices, &c., of whatever kind or pre tension. By a chemical analysis, it will be found that the greater proportion of the Chlo rine Compounds so extensively in use, do not contain a particle of the Chloride of Soda, on the agency of which their efficacy must neces sarily depend. This article is confidently offered to the ex amination of the public, as possessing in an em inent degree the virtue of neutralizing all that is offensive in the mouth and breath, removing soreness and sponginess of the gums,destroying the taint of tobacco, or any other effluvia from whatever cause. In short, this preparation will be found to justify the various commendatory notices and recommendations it has received.

REliFE’S 05*- Botanical Drops! are every year increasing their long estaolisned repu* tation. They have outlived many rival preparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence. The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin istered for many years, as a thorough remedy for that well known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or an he reditary predisposition in the patient, and generally appear under the various and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony’s Fire, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foul and Ocr stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Byes, Scald Head, and Venereal Taint. _ In the last mentioned condition of the system, the Botanical Drops 'will be found to eradicate the lurk in* poison, where mercury has totally failed,and thus prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he reditary disease on his offspring. Dr. Kelfe’s Botanical Drops are successfully used in cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches—pimples on the face—festering eruptions on the skin—and other diseases of the external surface; and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics known, to free the system from humors A physician of eminence, who had witnessed the er ftcacy of this article, had the candor recently to ack nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the best medicine known, for the complaints for which it is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole class of such remedies.

TrioSB who would retain or restore these desirable personal advantages, are assured that no compo sition can be obtained superior t" the __ BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICE. This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every respect, and has, for many years past, given universal satisfaction wherever it has been used. The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently, enter the composition of tooth powders in common use, and it whitens the enamel of the teeth without doing it the least iujury. The regular use of this ad mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing the accumulation of tartar, operates as tiie be-.t pie ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentrifice removes discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white ness of the enamel. As its application braces and strengthens the Gums, it secures to them their healthy and florid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign accumulations Irom tne teem, preserves sweetness of the breatli.

IN that long train of diseases which seem to grow with the growth of civilised society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human life; yet his dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles the sagacity of professional science. An obstinate cough is the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con sumption Improper neglect in the timely adminis tration of simple and salutary remedies, is sure to be reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive symptoms oppression of the breast; greenish and bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri j veiled extremetics, and general emaciation of the whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses •ion of the mental faculties, and while hope still, whis pers her flattering tale—rold extremities, and a pre mature death. For the various stages of this complaint, one ot the most approved remedies ever vet discovered is DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS. This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc ed in a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter mination of he disorder. As ihe Fills require in ordinary cases no confine ment, they may be administered with confidence and safety to all ages an i classes of people. Unexampled success has hitherto attended their administration in a great variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving the emaciated victim trom the bed of disease, and re storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and activity. Frice $1 for whole boxe9 of 30 pills, and 50 cents for half do. of 12 pills, with directions. Debilitated Females! flltlE complaints peculiar lo the lemaie part of the X community, have been long successfully treated by the administration of the Aromatic Pills, originally prescribed and compounded by Dr Relfe They cleanse the blood from those disorders of the female constitution, for which the pills are an effectual speci fie; they restore a free circula ion, reform the irregular operations of the sanguderous system, and rectify the disordered habit9. I he proprietor's confidence in the superior excellence of this equally innocent and pow erful preparation, is founded on the most decisive tes timoay from many restored patients. He can assure this portion of the public, that when DR. RELFE’S AROMATIC PILLS FOR rbMALGid are regularly taken, according to the directions, ac companying them, they revive and establish the desir ed healthy habits, and restore to the pallid counte nance the natural giow of health and good spirits Married ladies will find the pills equally useful, ex cept in cases of paegnancy, when they must not be taken; neither must they be taken by persons of hec tic or consumptive habits.
