I necessary to mafet some enquiry of the fe- 1

ere _ ed that the law in question had not been car-
ued r ' ef ' into e 2" The reasons given, were 2

mation on this point were wished, it could
)ut _ certainly be got ; but he thought if any
are- wa3 done, it would be better to revifc C
the business gpnerjiliyj,
Mr. Nicholas A(idy the<re was a proposi
tion comtnitte4,t<J *'ConimwUe.of the whole
house, far providing for what was intended
nc . to have beeaprartuccd by means this law. f
_ A It was supposed that this law wonl4 have ir
the produced bulliM enough, an&that thequan- t}
to tityof coin iifued from the Mint would si
lim have re(luce4 th e circulation of foreign coins Cl
the t0 a mere tr:fle - Th « house had been told ra
j,j s j had not been convenient for the Secrata- h
[ ra . T°f the treasury to fend foreign coin to m
Iq the mint ; but it was not known to a cer- CI
ate f aint 7 w hy this had Hot been done ; wheth-
the 11 was ro . m 'h e of that mint, or '*l
ir. | rom tlle lna bility of the treasury. No one w
_ j could fay whether this law could be carried e<
into effeft in futute. The only way in
j which this could be ascertained, was by the f . r
enquiry proposed. ti
■S. Mr. Gallatin believed, if the gentlemen P (
I who objefted to this resolution would recur l ''
to the situation of this business, they would
er- withdraw their opposition. The report
th * of the committee appointed on the Ll
re- fub i e<a of the mint la st year, which, A
ich not having been afted upon, had been re
ferred to a committee of the whole this fef- Fi
nd (km, and might any day be called |up for
ice consideration', that report proposed the pass- J«
re " ing of a resolution appropriating F '
by dollilrs f° r the purchase of ballion. This re- H
the fohitioii was predicated upon a supposition Pi
ley that the adl in question had not, and could Je
not be carried into effta. But the reason Cl
nt- afiigned for this fuppo.fition was now remov- Fr
ed, as it was founded upon the ground of
r". l h c P'efiden#* not having issued his procla- .V
re _ mation to determine the time when the coin-
to at the mint began. That proclamation g,
Ily had now been ifTued; and he wished to knoyv f.
Nt , whether there was yet a-neeefiity for an ap- 1 M
«• . propriation ; he wilhed {to know how far
the law had been executed, what had pre
!rt i ? ented ' ts execution, and whether in future
l c . it could be executed. If it were fouad by re '
it- the information which should be received, I ~
-a that hereafterall theforeign coin which comes
10 into the treasury may be sent into the mint,
there would be no necessity for an appropri
e ation ; but if this regulation could aot be iris
, n carried into effeift, the law ought to be re- JE
to pealed, and an approiation rltade. me
e- _ Mr. Otis faidttie reasons which had been ous
te given in favour wfridopting tS|s resolution, wi(
were, in his opinion, agaiiift i't.—
Though he belifeved the law never could G.
be literally executed, he beWd it"had been
le virtually exeeutecfeo elf=vi>as •'•aliowed, that
lg before the reporiiolf 'thel'e was VI
id fuflicient reason for not carrying the law in- 1
it to effeift ; and since lhat tim<?, it appeared ]
0 by the mint report, that upwards of 50,000
£ dollars had been sent to the mint from the En
Bank of the United States, which he sup- Uv "
I- posed was a large proportion of the caih
g received by the treasury in crowns, and of
>f course, proved that the aft had been execut-
le ed since that time. He believed the law L '
e could not be literally Executed, because the
notes of the Bank of the United States Col
were made a tender for all monies due to q,,.
c the government, and it was well known that [
- all money tranfa&ions, particularly where out
; there were banks, were mostly carried on in Stal
notes. It might be said, these notes were exifl
? s representatives of specie, and that specie refu
might begot for them ;■ but if goveniment ra an
- were always to call upon the Bank of the
United States for specie for their notes,
- where would h< the use of making them le- Shij
' gal tender ? But if the bank were to be cal
' led upon for specie, when they knew it were Brig
. intended to fend crowns to the mint, they
. would mate payment tn.do3lars. Upon the
whole, as there feempd to be fon»e contra- Sch
1 riety between this law and the bank law
making; the paper of the, United States
lawful tender, it would be best-to refer the
business to a fele& committee to have it
properly digested, and not single out this
particular, so as to cast a refletlion upon the
treasury department. Sloe
Mr. Nicholas said, he had before declar- A
ed he had no intention ef calling a censure B]
upon the treasury department. The gen- . Ll
tleman alferted the law had been virtually
executed, for two reasons ; ftrft, because
the revenues being chiefly paid in bank
paper, it had nothing to operate upon.— the 1
: !« This was a ft range trny of eiecuting a law.
,lc j The gentleman would ;idmit, If one arrauge
t,vri , merit in a law interfered with apether, it
j mull want revifal. If the pwnner of con
' t dusting bttfincfs at tbj. bank, bnt it out of
v.iit ' the power of the trefurv te execute the ldw,
i? 1, ( it might be necefTary to enter into fotn?
not i ftipulatioa, as to the proportion, of French
i'* 1 crowns which they should refund to the go
ior vcrnm . ent » 1,1 consideration of the deposits
ore "hich u ' ere made w.'th them. The gentle
, t0 man's other argument was a very extraor
hat dinary one, that becatife the Bank of the U
•ecf. . nited States hail feut the value of yo,coo.
the dollars, in French crowns to tlie rilitit, on
J j * ,s OWI ' account, the lAvv had Vfi tnnlly
>!u- j But, ' even fnppofTng tbefe
out crou ' n3 could be coon'idered ai posping/rom
to, the treasury, he wifhtrd to know whaLwoiild
the be the future operation of the law, which
lid information the refdhition was Calculated to
its produce.
ie > Mr. Kittera said the latter part of the
refolution having been done ;■ way, which
ett l ° Was ver y he (hould not
i; t oppose the remainder. If any gentleman
f e . wilhed for information from any depart
ment °f 'he government to enable him to le
ar_ g'flate upon a question, he {hould never be
, re against it. He believed their laws would be
fat more con sistent, if mote frequent calls were
made. •
The motion was put and carried without
a division.
