The Sen ator says that ihe.Guvermiient ol the United States has a right to purchase bills of ex change; that it may;' it it pleases, instead of "wagoning” the specie (to use the Senator’s phrase) to' the head-waters of the Missouri or Mississippi, purchase a bill, which will accomplish the same purpose. Undoubtedly it may; though; in practice! this is rarely, i‘f ever, done. There is not the difficulty in the -Government’s transferring its funds to our extreme western -frontier; because even the very Indians will accept a Govern ment bill drawn on New Vork, find will .‘prefer it to. specie, knowing that it can be suld at a premium anywhere in the far west m. , . , ... 1 fur gold and silver; As the next step in his certify, that'the tavern above prayed for, is necre- ecl tncuntruvei lible that, haying a right Uaryjo accommodate the public and entertain a the t^m'Lmfen^JtVusf^ have a strangers or travellers, and Uiat the above mimpH-tlglltiQVcr tile whole: that jf'it possesses the petitioner is a person of good repute for honesty power, it possesses the vvhole power: that a, and temperance, and is well provided with house constitutional power cannot be broken into •room and convenience for the accommodation of fragments; but if the power be given at all. strangers and travellers. . the whole poWey must be given.

SPEECH MB. lIUCHAIVAA', of Pennsylvania, ON , The fiscal Corporation $ Delivered in the Senate of the Vnilid States, i September 2, 1841. - Mr. Archer having concluded— Mr. BUCHANAN rose in reply, and ad dressed the Senate nearly as follows: The Senator from Virginia concluded his remarks, by telling us that the whig party had dune a great deal at this extra session. I admit that they have done much: and they have dune one thing fur which the country ought to be gratelul—they have done for themselves. (A laugh.) The gentleman quoted to us, on the subject of our abstrac tions, a couplet from Hudibras; but he stop* ped with the first two lines. Let me supply ■ the couplet immediately following; which 1 the JSenatdr did pot quote; but which, I : | think, applies'quite as well' to the pretended ; difference between the present bill and that 1 which the President has returned to us with his veto: J : [AT TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM: New Series—Vol. 6. No. 20. of State (lid advance some years ago, this same latitudinuus doctrine. I then contest ed, it} and I am happy to say that the distin guished Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Clay) concurred /-with me- in opinion. Congress lias power to regulate commerce; therefore, says the Senator from Georgia, Congress possesses power to create a paper cunency, with which commerce may be conducted* This is the doctrine. Yet even this is not quite so strong as the position of my friend Irom Virginia (Mr. Archer.) A power to "regulate,” means a power to "create!” Were any two words in the English language ever better 'understood than these? To ‘regulate 5 ’ is to prescribe rules fur conduct ing something that already exists. To create,” is to bring that into existence .which before ha<l none. We know that the constitution had its, origin mainly in the general wish to regulate with uniformity the commerce of this country. Previous to its adoptions the different States of the confede-! racy had established different regulations.! | which they were always changing; and hence no fureigu Government would form commer cial treaties with the then Government of ■the United Stales, which it could not enforce. commercialregulations-of- the different Slates were constantly in conflict with-each other. To*remedy these-evils,' power was conferred on the Federal Govern ment to establish uniform rules in relation to commerce, which should apply alike to all the States. Up tp the year 1839,1 never hud imagined that any human being could be lound who would contend‘that this simple power of prescribing rules for regulating our foreign and domeßiit lb3; creanng a bank wjjtli;a capital,of fifty millions of dollars,-and with i power to issue a paper currency sufficient to (Supply the demands of the country., Tlut K>e ductei.q&;v^ J,Wse,lheJl‘jqhusj>f . ■|TO vvi ',is\-smswETs\nelr purpose’much'befter I to derive their banking power, as the Sena tor, from-Massachusetts t|ien did, Irom the I power to regulate conrtncrce, than as the i Senator-.from Kentucky (MV-; Mokehead) (now does, from the power to collect, trails t leiV and ■ disburse:the-pilbiic revenue. Ty derive it I er, ns John Marshall has done, is to involve j it with a question of fact, which might prove I troublesome to its advocates. On their own I showing, the previous question must-first be* settled, whether a bank be necessary to. the collection, transfer," and disbursement of.the public revenue. Uut this vast commercial power leaves all limitations behind.. It mounts at once into the air, and sours aloft to any height.which bank advocates may deem . necessary to (lie accomplishment of their designs. If they want to create a pa per currency. I tell them that (he commer cial power is a belter basis on which to place it than the power over ithe rdveiiue. And here let mo add one word to my friend from Kentucky, (Mr. Moheueaij.) He treated ue to along, and eloquent, nnd able apcech, in reply to one I had previously made; but this reply was unfortunately con fined to a ainglo branch of a single point in my argu ment; and neither ho or any other Senator has yet so much as touched any one of the other points which I made. The Senator's whole speech was directed to the object of proving that the constitutionality of a Bankot the United Sta U-s was a settled question. Now, admitting, for argument's sake alone, that the Senator succeeded in establishing his position that this is a settled question: I ask how has it been settled 1 That Congress has the absolute unconditional power to cre ate, at pleasure, a Bank of the United Slates 1 Not -at all; but that if Congress shall believe d bank-to-be a necessary, agent in collecting, transferring, and dis bursing the pubhc revenue, the Judiciary will under take to decide this question of fact differently, and de clare the law to be unconstitutional, for this reason alone. Now, John Marshall might, if a melnberof Congress, give his vote against the creation of a bank, not believing it in fact to 'be necessary to execute the revenue power of the Government; and yet act in per fect accordance with every principle of his own deci sion in the cose of'McCulloch against the State of Maryland. That decision-amounted to only this; that tho court would not rejudgo tho discretion of Con gress; but it tho constitutional question back to the conscience of each member about to vote for or against a new bank,' untrammelled by airy judicial exposition. If members believe that a bank is a necessary and proper instrument to execute the taxing power of the Government, and can thus re concile it to their consciences to declare if to be con-, etitutipnal, end pass a bill creating it, lho court haVe the source whence has been drawn the imfair. ihe un just, tho monstrous inference, that John Tyler has bad a rule prescribed to him which,makes it'hia duty .

' It did nof skulk into this District of ten miles arid than stealthily steal out into the States, where the States did not positively forbid. “How arc the mighty fallen I Tell it not in Gath; publish it not in the streets of , Askclon'—that the great,' the triumphant, the dwni* nant, the irreaistabla Whig party, has sunk to this thing called a “Fiscal Corporation I” And,-from what the, [Senator from'Virginia says, I doubt whether they tvilh even get that.

The bunk which you propose to establish by ibis bdl is a perfect ipcculalort ’- bank;— All the “bulls,” and the “bears,” and oth er spuculating animals in Wall street.'.will hail it with exceeding great joy; while all o llicr men, to whatever party they may be-, long, will have reason for sorrow ami-lam entation. Your industrious mechanic—vour discreet retail merchant—your plain farmer —your enterprising and ingenious manufac turer—will .get no accommodation there:— none. It is an exchange bank, confined to buying and selling foreign bills of exchange, including bills drawn in one Slate or Terri tory, ami payable in another. To deal with such an institution, a man must be known ' on ’Change; he must have foreign corres pondents. Yuu_ can’t fly your kite from' one city to another within the same State.-~ This bank is to deal in kite-flying only be tween different. Stales. Now, Air. Presi dent, what is kite-flying?—fori hold'the contrary sentiment to that advanced by the Senator from Missouri, (Mr. Benton;) and I maintain that the “kite,-.flying fiscality” isa •' better name fur;'this'institution than the; “Aleul-lub Bank.” Let me explain my no tion of it; and, if. J am wrung, .there ace gen - - tlemen here who, •up doubt, understand a great deal mure about it than 1 do, und who will kindly put me right.' Kite-flying, then, as 1 understand it, is never predicated on a real business-transaction. A speculator in Philadelphia,' wishing to raise the wind to the amount of one hundred thousand'dol lars, cannot übtain the money froin this bank pn an accoinmotlatiun nute. urhc could fiave done from am old-fashioned Bank of the U. States; and to what expedient inust be re- ' sort fur. this purpose? lie gets a.,brother 1 speculator in Ne w .York to consent that he , may draw a bill of exchange on him. The Fiscal Corporation, which, cannot discount his note, buys his bill thus drawn; and he puts the money in Ids pocket. The bill, a? ' immaturity, is not paid in money by the New York Bpcculator; v but he squares .the account by simply; drawing another bill back ' on the speculator in Philadelphia. This se cond bill, when - due, -is abo-satisfied by - merely drawing a.secund bill on the .specu lator in New York; and so they keep it go ing backward and forward betweeu tfie two cities as long as they please. .' This, in the technical .language on ’Change, is called kite-flying. The bank, meanwhile, pockets the legal interest, ami n&’inuch more as it can get for exchange. This process evades the usury laws, and enables it, without dan ger, to demand and receive more than legal interest fur discounting bills. ' Now, gentlemen will perceive at once how , exclusively this fiscality will becomes spec ulator’s bank. A plain mechanic goes to the counter, and asks an accommodation for a moderate sum*—say from five hundred to five thousand a promissory note, with good endorsers; and \i hat is.the answer? “\Ve can’t accommodate you, sir;, we oidy deal in exchange,” The, poor; man , turns * away disappointed, ami walks.nut without his money. . But as he pusses alojig,. the?e ciiines in one of ,these kite-flying speculators, who are up tothe, tricks of ti'ade. He. resides in Phihulelnhia, and, draws his bill Ou tlio cily id Camdin, within five.min utes run across the IK-iawarc, for five.’ ten, or dollars. “ThatlsTmsiu;-, ; coinnibdalion note; dh, lio! it is a cliaiigej and while the poor inrehji nid-dnl ‘ hot -. kmiw.how-to dir the thing, theimorc ’ uiiruitj speculator gets all he .wants., 7 ..
