A . majority ofthe present House of Represen tatives, elected according to the report, on principles of avowed hostility to the hank, and in obedience 'to popular opinion, direc ted this investigation to be made. It has been made fully, and without respect to per. -sons. No enquiry was•eluded; every wit. mesa that was •summoned appeared; every 'witness that appeared answered all the ques tions which the -ingenuity and skill of the majority, could -devise. No constitutional right to stand mute, veil or imaginary, was set up to impede or obstruct the course of enquiry. No party to the trial was present to arrest the teem of testimony, by cross examination of witnesses, or to discuss it lifter it was given. And yot,under all these circumstances, the result has been what we have just stated,amtthe friends and enemies of thellank,tiave with equal readiness,eome .4o the conclusion that the institution and the late legislature, were alike free from any imputation of having been the agents yr objects of comiption—or in the language of the tnajonty, that "no eatdrnee has hp'. siren- which -would go , to implicate either the4cers of the Bank, or any climbers of theiegislature,of using any corrupt means to procure the 40, of incorporation." On this result, so honorable to the sense ofjus• lice on OP part of"the majonly, and to the fair fame of our predeceesora—ao conclu• live iu its reputation ofthe numberless charg• ell easiest the individuals wbo have charge of the administration of the Bank, and so pregnant with benefit to the Community, in removing .a moat inappropriate tneans of po Mica!, excitement, the undersigned sincere- ly eongrmulato the House and our common Constituents. Had the majority done no more •than an nounce the result of the investigation, no ex! pression of individual opinion would have been. required from the undersignod; but their celleaguee having thought it right to accompany it, with , tboaattertion of certain matters ofdoctrine as well as policy in which we cannot concur,self respect,and the desire we feel to be accurately understood by those whom we are all responsible, forbid our silence. We propose very briefly to notice these points.,• and first such as are irnmedi- lifelV connected with the subject of enquiry. The undersigned differed from the ma rierity: in the view taken by the latter, that the. enquiry should be prosecuted Without notice to the party whose rights were to be effimted—that is, the Bank of the United States. if the undersigned distinctly under island the reason given for the course adop ted by the majority, it is, that the commit tee was appointed to make the enquines de signated, independent of the act incorporat ing tlie Bank; and that coneequently that institution was no direct legal - party to the proceedings, and therefore not entitled to notice." As neither of the undersigned en joy the advantage of a professional education or ofan acquaintance with the subtle diqt Inc-, lions which professionable habits enable others to perceive, they in some measure, distrust their.ability to refute.the ingenious logic of their , colleagues; all they have to rely on, are certain old:fashioned notions of the itghts of their citizens, which may mis lead their judgment, and from which in this . push ther'Confeas they have been unable so divest' themselves. If the majority, in slaying the Bank was not "a direct legal pir ty" to the proceedings, mean to assert that ' an issue was eat formally made out, and pleadings regularly set forth between the ,Commonwealth of Permaylvania and the Bank of the United States, the undersigned underetand the meaning of the language.— But the rights of the Bank were superior to technical objecting% they rest on' immutable principleit which regulate all proceedings, wbether, formal or iniorrisat, when justice krthe obiect or the . pretest. - Norman or fridy of mens: can be tried airly.

It will .not he pretended 1 - that ulterior measures itincting directly the Bank. would not have been adopted, had fraud been found in its inception, or a violation ()fits charter . since. The commit tee was organized„ to ascertain if such had been the fact; and-to that enquiry it was in The view of the undersigned, essential that the hank should be considered as a wino, and as such entitled to notice.— Clerks and directors •of the Bank were summoned and examined, touching their official acts, and thus in consequence of this Tolima to subordinate at - rents, and of the re- 'fusel to notify the institution, and thus se cure the atienilancti of those who would have instantly afforded full and ample ex• planation of all matters in questien, no in considerable risk Was run of effecting at last only u meagre and ,unsatisfactory in. vesti.intion. if the Batik was not a party to the proceeding, and, the whole enquiry was to' be conducted - "independent' of the act which incorporated II," then it matter. ed not 'to the committee whether the bank issued five dollar bills and discounted uncur• rent paperer not; if all was to be done "inde pendent of the act incorporating the bank," then the committee had nothing to do with what waa done under or contrary to th e act. It would' b 6 quite as intelligible were it to 'be said 'that a committee of this House could roperly recommend the disposal of an estate strictly settled,'. "independent" of the wili,or , deed which settled it, as that this enquiry could be instituted end conduc• ted independently of the act incorporating the bank. - The undersigned did not admit the justice of the decision, when it was made—they do not "see the force Of the reasoning which seeks to justify it now. 2. The nail _point or difference, is the view taken by the undersigned, of the pros priety. of the conduct of the bank in two particulars, first, the paying out at the counter to such as may desire to have theta, the five dollar bills of the old Bank of the ['idled States •or any other bank. The state ofthe facts as proved before the com mittee, and admitted, is simply this; it is in fact so perfectly plain, that the undersigned are at a loss to imagine how it could be misunderstood. By the second section of the charter, the Bank of the United States is clothed with "the same privileges and authority given by law to any bank, within this comnionwerilth, subject to therules and restrictions hereinafter provided." It is lhenprovided in the sixth article, "that the notes and bills which shall be issued by order of said corporation or under its authorit%, shall be binding upon it, and those made, payable to order shall be: assignable by endorsement, but none shall be reissued o a denoinination less than ten dollars. In point of fact, as well r0...r tliv bank hn. never issnerrii note under len dollars, which was actually or virtually_ its own, and to its own notes—notes made and executed under its authority. only does the prohibition ap ply. lithe reasoning of the other sidet'of this question be correct, then ira customer were to come to the counter of the bank, and ask in 'imp for specie, a five dollar bill of the Girard hank, and obtain it—it would he the issuing of a note of a denomi- nation less than ten dollars, and as such a violation of the charter. Yet no one can suppose'such a case was contemplated by the prohibition in the charter. Nor does the imaginary ider.tity of the old and the new bank effect the question, they being ut terly and in all respects distinct. The present bank receives in the course of its business the notes of variousother banks,and among them the notes of the late bank of the United States. When its customers want these notes why should not the haitk furnish them? There is no more reason why the bank should not pay out the notes of the late Batik of the United States, than that they should not pay nut the notes of the Girard bank of Pennsvlvtima. Suppose the bank at Herrisburgh. were to recover the notes of the late or the present bank of the United States, and any member of the Legislature wished to receive 'hem, why should tint the Harrisburgh batik give them to him?— And if the. Harrisburg!' bank can do why should not the Bank of the United States do it? So far a? the issuing and making five dollar fills goes, the state banks have the advantage of being able to do so; in all other respects, they stand on the sarr.e footing. Each may pay out at its counter, notes of other banks under ten dollars.— This being the .view the undersigned take of this matter, they have , no hesitation in saying, that in the paying out .the bills of old bank, when asked for at their coun- ter, the bank has acted with perfect proprie ty, and with a strict regard to the letter :.nd spirit of its charter. The undersigned are happy in being able to believe that the majority are by no means clear in a digreni opinion from the one just expressed i and that the argumentative state ment of tho question tn their. report by no means implies its decisiiin. With regard to the allegation and'proof, that the baek has received the notes of other state institutions at adiscountof from a qua r ter to one per cent.-the undersigned will ob serve that the majority merely State the fact without e.dding any other opinion of the right, except that it may be considered a doubtful one. The undersigned cannot view it in this light. They regard it as perfectly consonant with the charter to the extent to which it is proved to have gone,and highly important as an accommodation to the mart of business. The 'late Bank of the United States, during the twenty years of ite - exiiitence, wail in the habit,w hen its customers came to make their deposits, ofreceiving occasionally a note en current in the city. Sometimes withimit any. Charge et 'alt—sotnetitnes with a imall charge founded on the probable time and expesmof sending it • Wile distant-bark • • fp" paymeei.' Tl4l,;:was 4eeigned for..

All the banks: have a clear right to do it, and the men of business are deeply interested in sustaining that rbrbt. If a man in business comes toe bank in Phil-. adelphia with a note - of a man in Pittsburgh, and wishes it collected, th' bank agrees to collect it for him, and charges a quarter per cent., or two per cent,, for the coke non there can be no doubt-of the Power of the bank to do so. If :he ..ttrie man brings. the note, not of an individual in Pittsburgh, ' hut of a bank in Pittsburgh, and wishes that collected, why cannot the bank agree to collect it for a quarter or two per cent. if the depositor chooses to give it—what pos. Bible difference is there in the two caseil— It may be added nn this point, that it wan clearly in evidence before the cornminea, that the discountine of this uncurrent paper. however legally defensible, was altogether the act of the tellers and clerks without the authority of the board of directors, and that it was done exclusively for the accommoda tion of depositors in the bank, who so far from considering it a grievance, regardeJ it as a mutter of very great convenience. a. The majority of the committee have referred to the agencies alledged to be es ' tablished by the hank in other states, and seen,' to think that such a diffusion of capi• tal isnot conducive to the local benefit which the authors of the hank are admitted to have contemplated. The agencies of the bank out of Pennsylvania, arid which are describ ed . hy the majority as being at New York, New Orleans and elsewhere, are believed to be altoeether three in number. One in each of the cities just named, and one,being that which is - described by the comprehen sive elsewhere oldie majority, in.th- state of Georgia. In Pennsylvania -alone the hank has as many agencies as in nil the Union besides. The effect too of the agen cies in other states, so far from being ad verse to the interests of the commonwealth, indirectly conducive to it. [`heir tendency being to bring business hither and tofacilitaie trade and general intercoursejret ween other points and Pennsylvania. A view is - taken by the majdrity, of the motives which in. duced the charter of the bank by the - last legislature, to which the undersigned can• not assent. After stating very frankly that it has not appeared in evidence that any portion of the capital of the bank, hereto. fore in the use of the people of this com monwealth has been abstracted, they say that "one of the leading arguments in favor of the passage of the bill, was to increase the amount of capital in Pennsylvania. In this the inducements hold out haVe not been realized." Now the undersigned, two of whom were members of the last legislature, never understood the arguments iu favor of the bank, to be that its charter would in• 1 crease the banking capital of this state to the extent of its authorized capital, as seems to be the idea of the majority. To retain what was here already, not increas e it tp such a ratio, was the object and at firgu. eh ti HCCOrUing to the Ogren dmission of the majority, they havo'nol been disappointed. no portion of the capital previously employed here, having beets di- verted by its agencies or otherwise. - . • The undersigned do not think it neces sary to examine the historical details which the majority have given, in regard to the mode, manner and means in which the bill chartering the bank was reported and • pas Fed. The narrative given by the majority, the undersigned in the main believe to be correct, being a paraphrase of twenty 'or thirty pages of the Journal, without any especial claims to novelty or interest. The exceptions taken by the majority to the mysterious title of the bill need not be adverted to. The act seems to have been perfectly intelligible to all parties, and as such, to have been fairly and deliberately discussed and approved. That its passage should have produced temporary excitement was to be expected. That the excitement healer a long tine been passing by, and is now definitively ended, we gratefully be. Hove. The undersigned do not with the majori ty believe, that the poop'.: nt any or every election have fairly pronounced judgment against the measure adopted by the last legislature. So far from it, that at the only election where the question was fairly put to the people. the election for the delegates to the Convenl ion, the decision was in its favor. •As the majority have adverted to this subject, the undersigned have no hesi tation in saying that there never was so signal a rebuke given to all who would i in obedience to rash impulse, trample on the restraint which a constitutional form of government creates, as at the election to which we have referred. Public sentiment was then tittered in tones too emphatic to be misunderstood or forgotten, It was then proclaimed that there was a limit to party violence and excitement—that the rights and party of the people whether individual or corporate were guarded by a harrier which. ishould not be passed with impunity. The violation of the rights of property, the 'forcible resumption of charters fairly con ferred and honestly paid for, the cancelling of edntracts whether made between man and man or the community and individuals, was 'signiAcantly and solemnly denounced by the judgment of that tribunal from which there is no appeal- Without following the majority through their discussion of the principles ofbanking ! which are admitted not to be strictly within the scope of the duties delegated to them, and from most of which, as utterly irrecon cilable with sound polirv,and public econo my, they entirely - dissent. The undersign ed, will in conclusion, and in a very few words, state their viewi'of the constitution- al pOwer of thetoyernment in all or any of its forms, over - chartered rights. They' do not wish to argue it, but •merely -to state their honest and deliberate opinions,leaving to their constituents topes judgment on the contrast with thnse of their .colleagues.— The undersigned do not believe in the pow. er of the Legisrature to repeal a charter for-fraud ititaineoptiou, or violation wards; ma *rig' diennielves the judges of the fraud and the forfeiture. s ill term do they believe it -to be in the, power or any Legislature, because they may think a char ter enemus or .injurious to the people, hi repeal it. They do believe, that all char ters are centructs within the meaning ofthe constitutioo, and as such protected. Tiles hold to the principi.ell.3 laid down by Sinim Snyder, in 1R13: "'!'hizt an act incorparaff ing a company for banking purposes, pat takes of the nature of a contract, against the impairing of which Mere is a coastal/ Fiona' prohibition." When a charter contains a provision frr trying the question of forfeiture judicially, or otherwise, that mode must be strictly followed; and when no provision exists, the ju licial tribunals have a common law au thority, by which it can be tried. In no case, unless the power is expressly reserved, can a Legislature declare a charter forfl!it ed. The general recognition of other principles and doctrines than these, would in the opinion of the undersigned, bo nt variance with the theory of our eonstnu tional system, and utterly subversive of all-that security and right of property which government is intended to Alm). Iu conclusion, the undersioned have only to add the renewed expression of their belief; strengthened and confirmed by what is passing hourly before their eyes, that the reckoner of the Mirk of The United States by the last Legislature, was u measure of sound policy, and patriotic forecast. The relief afforded to the Treasury nlone, en titles us to consider it so. Hut for the means there supplied. the taxes must have been renewed and increased; the school system have been prostrated; and the pub tic improvements arrested. All this has been happily arrested, and there is no rea son to doubt the tranquil a';d sure advances of our great commonwealth in her maanifi cent schemes and improvement and Intel lectual culture. All of which is respectful ly submitted. %VILLIA NI C. FLING, JOHN PARKER, ' WALTER OLIVER. General Acies cot the r 'eek.
