For those I know are true.
For the heaven that 'mileses above me,
And a waits my apt, ,•
For all human ties that bind e,
Fir the task my God assigned Ul me,
For the bright hopes left behind me,
Aad the good that I can do.
!lire to learn their story.
Who suffered for my sake,
To e mulate their glory,
Arid follow in their wake
Bards, martyrs, patriots, sages,
The noble of all ages,
Whore deeds crowd history's pages.
Pad Time's great volume make.
I live to hail that season,
By gifted minds foretold,
When mea shall live by reason,
And not alone by gold—
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing riAted,
The whole world .all be lighted,
As Eden wet of old.
I bye to hold communion,
With all that is divine.
To feel there is a union,
'Twixt nature's heart and mina ;
To profit by afiltvion.
Reap truth from fields of action,
firow wiser from convictiot,
And fulfil each great di)ign.
I live for three who lore me.
For those who know me trne,
Fur the heaven that smiles above me,
.And awaits my spirit too:
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the FUITHE in the distance,
And the good that I can do.

at Jeep pecuniary interests, I feel that I cannot,

and not to the interpretatione of its administrators,
for its meaning. Such . a message, from such •
man—a man not apt to look bark when he had set
his face forward—elecnified the democratic spirit of
the country. The old democracy felt as if they
were to see the constitution restored
,before they
died—the young, u if they were summoned to the
reconstruction of the work of their fathers. It was
evident that a great contest was coming on, and
the odds entirely against the President. On the one
side, the undivided phalanx of the federal party,
(for they had not then taken the name of twig;) a
large part•of the democratic party yielding to pre-
cedent and judicial decision; the bank itself, with
its colossal money power, its arms in every State
by means of branches, its power over the Ptate
banks, its power over the bnsinesacommani•y, over
public men wbo should become its debtors or re
tainers, its Organization under a single head, issu
ing its orders in secret, to be obeyed in all places
and by all subordinates at the same moment. Such
was the formidable array on one side—on the other
Bide a divided democratic parts', dishesrtened by
division, with nothing to rely upon but the good
ness or their cause, the prestige id Jackson's name,
and the presidential power, rood against-two-thirds

bat the risk to ran of his non-election before the fi
nal question elide on. Under such circumstances
it required a strong sense of duty in the new Prebi
dent to ontninence bis career by risking such, acon
lest tt‘t he believed the institution to be unconsti
tutional srJ di-igen:us ; a.,d that ,t ought to cease
to exist ; and there was a clause in the constitution
that constitution which he had sworn to support
—which commanded him to recommend to Con•
gree•, for its consideration, such measures as he
should deem expedient and proper. Under this
sense of duty, and under the obligation of this oath,
President Jackson had recommended to Congress
the non-renewal of the batik charter, and the sub
stitution of a different fi4cal agent for the operations
of the government, if any such agent was required.
And with his accustomed frankness, and the lair
ness of a man who has nothing but the public good
in view, and with a disregard of self which permits
nu personal consideration to stand in the way of a
discharge of a public duty, lie made the recummen

Batik of the United States, at the very cornspence-
ment of his administration. That such a recom
mendation against such an institution !should bring
upon the President and his supporters, violent. at
tacks, both personal and polilical, with arraignment
of motives as well as of reasons, was natnrally to
be expected; and,that expectation was by no means
dtsappotn'ed. Both he and they, during the seven
years that the bank contest (in different forms) pre
vailed, received from it, from the newspaper and
periodical press' in its interest, and from the pUblic
speaker* in its favor of every grade, an accumula
tion of obloquy, and even of accusation, only lav
ished upon the oppressors and plunderers of na
tions—a Verres, or a Hastings. This was natural
n such an institution. But President Jackson and
his friends had a right to expect fair treatment horn
history—from disinterested history— which should
aspire to Huth, and which has no right to be ignor.
ant or careless. He and they had a right to expect
justice from such history; but this is what they have
not received. A writer, whose book takes him out
of that class of European travellers who requite the
hospitality of America by disparaging of their Ma
lotions, their country, and their character—one
whose general intelligence and candor entitle his
errors to the honor of correctionin brief, M. -de
Tocqueville—writes thus of President Jackson and
the Bank of the United States: .
" When the President attacked the bank, the
country was excited end parties were formed ; the
welt-informed dosses rallied round the bank, the
common people round the President. Bot it must
not be imagined that the people had formed a ra-.
bona, opinion epon a question which offers so ma
ny difficulties to the most experienced statesman.
The bank is a great establishment, which enjoys an
independent existence, end the people, accustom •
ed to make and unmake whatever it pleases, is
startled to meet with this obstacle to its authority.
In the midst of the perpetual fluctuation of society,
the community is irritated by so permanent an in
stitution, and is led to attack it in order to see whe
ther it can be shaken or controlled, like all the
other institutions of the country."—(chapter 10.)
Of this paragraph, so derogatory to President
Jackson and the people of the United Stater!, every
word is an error. Where a fact is alleged, it is an
error ; wherean opinion is expressed, it is an er-
ror ; where a theory is invented, it is fanciful and
visionary. President Jackson did not attack the
bank; the bank attacked him, and for political as
well as pe;zuniary motives, and under the lead of
politicians. When General Jackson, in his first
message, of December, 1829, expressed his opin
ing to Congress against the renewal of the bank's
charter, he attac.kedno right or interest which the
bank possessed. It was an institution of limited
existence, enjoying great privileges, among others
a muctoplly of national banking, and had no right
to any prolongation of extistenee or privilege after
the termination of its charter—so far from it, if
there was to be another bank, the doctrine of
equal rights and no monopolies or perpetuities
required it to be thrown open to the lreeicompeti
hoe of all the citizens. The reasons given by the
President were no attack upon the bank. Be im
pugned neither the integrity' nor the skill of the in
stitution, but repeated the objections of the political
school to which he belonged, and which were as
old es Mr Jefferson's cabinet opinion to President
Washington in the year 1791, and Mr. Madison's
great speech in the Muse of Repirsentatives in the
same year. He, therefote, made no attack upon
the bank, either upon its existence, its character, or
any one of its rights. On •he other handy the bank
did attack President Jackson, end under the lead
of politicians, and for the purpose of breaking him
down. The facts were these: President Jackson
had c mmunicated his opinion to congress in'llre

cember, 1842, against the renewal of -the charter;
near three years afterwards, on the 9th of January,
1834, while the charterhad yet above' three yearn
to ran, and a new Congress to be elected be.
lore ha expiration, and the presidential election im.
pending—Meneral Jackson and Mc Clay the can-
didittes)--the memorial of the President and Di.
rectors of the bank was suddenly presented In the
Senate of the United States, for the renewal of its
charter. Now, how came that memorial to be pre.
aented at a time so inopportune! so premature, so
inevitably mixing itself with the presidential elec
tion, and eo encroaching upon the rights°, the pea
pie, in snatching the question out of their hands,
and having it decided by a Congress notalected for
the purpose, and to the usurpation of the rights or
the Congress elected for the purpose Row came
all these anomalies?—all these violations of right,
decency and propriety? They came thus: the
bank and its leading anti-Jackson friends believed
that the institution was stronger than the President
—that it could beat him in the election—that it could
beat him in Congress, (as it then strived,l and car.
ry the charter, driving him upon the veto power,and
rendering him odious if he used it, and' disgracing
him, if, (after what he had said.) he did not. This
was the opinion of the leading politicians friendly
to the bank, and inimicaldo the President. Bet the
bank had a class of friends in Congress also friend.
ly to Gen Jackson, and between these two classes
there was vehement opposition of opinion on the
point of moving for the new charter. It was found
impossible, in communications between Washing
ton and Philadelphia, then rendered slow and un
certain in stage coach conveyances ; over miry
roads and frozen waters, to come to conclusions on
this difficult point. Mr. Biddle and the directors
were in doubt, for it would not do to move, in the
matter, unless all the friends of the bank in Con,
grass acted together. In this state of uncertainty,
General Cadvi-atlader, of Philadelphia, Mend and
confidant of Mr. Biddle, and his usual envoy in all
the delicate bank negotiations or troubles, was sent
to Washington to obtain a result, and the union of
both wings of the bank party in favor of the desired
movement. He came, and the mode of operation
was through the machi. cry of eatteus—that contri- I
Vance by which a few govern many. The two
wings being of different politics, sat separately, or
headed by W. Clay, the other by Gen. %ail Smith,
of Maryland:- The two caucuses disr'greed, but the
democratic being the smaller, and Mr. Clay's
strong will dominating the other, the resolution was
taken to proceed, and all bound to go together. I
had a friend in one of these councils who informed
regularly of the progress made, and eventually that
the point was carried for the bank—that Gen. Cad
wallader had returned with the news, and with in
junctions to have the memorial immediately at
Washington, andsby a given day. The day arriv-
ed, but not the memorial, and my friend came to
inform me the reason why; which was, that the
stage had got overturned in the bad roads and crip
-pled General Cadwallader in the shoulder, and de
tained him ; but that the delay would only be of
two days, and tnen the memorial would certainly
arrive. It did so, and on. Monday, the ninth of
January, 1832, was presented in the Senate by Mr
Dallas, a senator I rom Pennsylvania, and resident
of Philadelphia, where the bank was established.
Mr. Dallas was democratic and the friend of Gen.
Jackson, and on presenting the memorial, as good
as told all that I have now written, bating only per
sonal particulars. He said
"That being requested to present this document
to the Senate, praying for a renewal of the existing
charter of the bank, he begged to be indulged in
making a few explanatory remarks. With unhesi
tating frankness he wished it to be understood by
the Senate, by the good commonwealth which it
was alike his duty and his pride to represent with
fidelity on that floor, and by the people generally,
that this applicaticn, at this time, had been disconr
aged by him. Actuated mainly, if not elcltrsitrefy
by a desire to preserve to the nation the practical
benefits of the institution, the expediency of bring
ing it forward thus earls in the term of he incor
poration, during a popular representation in Con• .
great, which mast cease to exist some years before
that term expires, and on the eve of all the excite
ment incident to a great political movement, snack
his mind as more than doubtful. He felt deep so.
!iciest!e and apprehension lest, in the progress of
inquiry, and in the development of views, under
present circumstances, it might be drawn into real
or imaginary conflict with some higher, some mote
favorite, some more immediate wish or purpose of
the American people; and from such a conflict,
what sincere friend of this useful establishment
would not strive to save or rescue it, by at least a
temporary forbearance or delay
This was the language of Mr. Dallas, and it was .
equivalent to a protest from a well wisher of the
bank against the per ifs and improprieties of its open
plunge into the presidential canvass, for the purpose
of defeating General Jackson and electing a friend of
his own. The prudential counsels of such men as
Mr. Dallas did not prevail; political commis gov
erned ; the Intik charter was pushed—was carried
through both Houses of Congress—dared the- veto
of Jacason—received it—roused the people—and
the bank and all its friends were ernsned. Then it
affected to hare been attacked by Jackson ; and
Mons. de Tocqueville has carried that fiction into
history, with all the imaginary reasons fora ground.
less acensation which the bank had invented.
The remainder of this quotation- from Mons. de
Tocqueville is profoundly erroneous, and deserves
to,be exposed, to prevent the mischiefs which Mi .
book inight do in Europe, and even to Ametica,
' among tl4l class of oar own people whn look to
r European writers for information dpon their own
country. He speaks Of the well-informed classes
who railed to the bank, and the common people,
who had formed no rational opinion wort the sob
ject, who joined General Jackson. Certainly the
great business community, with a few' exceptions,
comprising wealth, ability and education, went for
Ow bank, and masses with General Jackson; but
hwh had formed the rational opinion is seen by
the event. The " well-informed classes" have
bowed, not merely to the decision, but to the inlet.
ligence - of the masses. They have adopted their
opinion of the institution—condemned it—repudiat-
ed u an it °ballet. idea r and of all its former ad
vocates, not one unto now. All have yielded to
that instinctive sagacity of the people, which is an
over-match for book-learning, and which, being
the result of common sense, is usually right, and
being.disinterested, is always honest. I adduce
this instance—agreed national one—et the ewxom•
bing of the well-infoithed classes to the instinctive
sagacity of the people, not merely to correct Mona.
de Toeqneville, bet for the higher purpose of show
ing the capacity of the people for self-government.
The nisi of the quotation, gi the independent *xis.
tense—the people accustomed to snake and on-
make—etartled at this obstacle—irritated at a per
manent institotionattack in order to shake and
control ;" all this is fancy, or as the old English
wrote it, fantasy, enlivened by French vivacity into
pungent theory—as fallacious to pungent.
I could wish I was done with quotations from
Mona. de Tocqueville on this subject; but he forces
me to make another extract from his book, and it
is found an hie chapter 18, thus :
"The slightest observation enables us to appro.
ciate the advantages which the country derives from
the bank. Its notes are taken on the borders of the
desert for the same value as at Philadelphia. It is
nevertheless the object of great animosity. Its di.
rectors have proclaimed their hostility to the Presi
dent, and are accused, not without , some show ol
probability, of having abased their iulluence to
thwart his election. Thet a President, therefore, at
tacks the establishment with all the warmth of per.
sonal enmity; and he is encouraged in the pursuit
of his revenge by the conviction that he is support
ed by the secret propensities of the majority. It al
ways bolds a great number of the notes issued by
the provincial banks, which it can at any time
oblige them to convert into cash. It has itself noth
ing to leer from a similar demand, as the extent of
its resources enables it to meet all claims. Butthe
existence of the provincial banks is thus threatened
and the operations are restricted, since they are on
ly able to issue a quantity of notes duly proportion
ed to their capital. They submit with impatience
to this salutary control. The newspapers which
they have brought over, and the President, whose
interest renders bim their instrument, attack the
bank with the greatest vehemence. They rouse the
local passions and the blind democratic instinct of
the country to aid in their cause; and they assert
that the bank directors form a permanent aristocrat
ic body, whose inflnence must ulimately ue felt in
the government, and must effect those pi inciples of
equality upon which society rests in America."
Now, while Mon. de Tocqueville was arranging
all this fine encomium upon the batik, and all this
censure upon its adversaries, the whole of which is
nothing but French translation of the bank publica
tions of the dap for itself, at.d against Presiden t
Jackson—during all this time there was a process
'going on in the Congress of the United States, by
which 'IL was proved that the bank was then insol.
vent,and living from day to day upon ex pedients,and
getting hold of property and money by corerivances
which the law would qualify as swindling—plan.
Bering its own'stockholders—and bribing individu
als, institutions aiid, legislative bodies, wherever it
could be done. Those fine notes, of which ho
speaks, were then without solid value. The salu•
tary restraint attributed to itisscontrol over local banks
was soon exemplified in its forcing many of them
into complicity in its crimes, and'ell into two gen.
eral suspensions of specie payments, headed by
itself Its solidity and its honor were soon shown
in open bankruptcy, in the dishonor of its notes,
the violation of sacred deposits, the loss of capital,
the destruction of institutions connected with it, the
ex•inetion of fifty-six millions o; capital, (its own,
and that drawn into its vortex,) and the ruin of
families, both foreign and American, who had been
induced by its name, and by its false exhibition of
credit, to trust their fortunes to it. Placing the op
position of President Jackson to such an institution
to the acemmt of base and personal motives--to ro
venge because he could not seduce it into his sup
port—is an error of fact manifested by all the his
tory of the case, to say nothing of the pereonalchar
acter. He was a Senator in Congress dermi the
existence of the first ,National Bank, and was
against it ; and on the same grounds of unconstim
tionstity and inexpediency. He delivered his opin
ion against the second one before it bad manifested
any hostility towards him. His first opposition was
abstract against the institution without reference to
its conduct; sudsegnimily it became opposition to
criminal institution on account of its cinninality ;
and time and events hate shown him to have been
a right on both occasions. He the insfrutnern oflo
cal banks! be who could not be made the instru
ment, or even the friend of Me great bank itself !
who was all bis life a bard-money man, an oppos
er of all tanks, the denouncer of delinquent banks
of his own rate! who, with one stroke of his pen,
in the recess of Congress in 1336, struck all their
notes Irom the list of land-office payments! and
whose last message to Congress, and in hit hire
well address to the people, admonishes) there ear
nestly and afiectionaiely agaicst the abate system
of paper money, the evils of which felt heaviest
upon the most meritorious part of the eommcaily,
and the part least able to bear the evils—the pro-
ductive classes.
The object of this chapter is to correct errors, Tin
dieate history, and do Justice to President Jackson
and the democracy ; and my task is easy. Events
beve answered every questing on which the bank
controversy depended, and nullified every argu
ment in its favor. So far from being " necessary,"
it is found that the country dads infinitely better
without the institution than welt it. During the 20
years of its existence there-were periodical returns
of panic and distrees, deranged currency, and ruin
ed exchanger; in the almost twenty year* since
elapsed, those calamitous words have never been
heard. There was.no golf during the existence°,
the bank ; there has been a gold currency ever
since. There were genet suspensions et specie
payments during its time; - none such since. Ex
change, were deranged dating its existence; they
have been regular since its death. Labor rind pro
perty lived the lite of ep.aml down—high price one
'day, low the next, while the bank "ruled; both have
been up ever since it has been gone. We lieve'had
a War since- a foreign war, which trieirthe strength
of financial systems in all countries; and have gone
through this war not drily without a financial crisis,
but with a financial triumph, the public securities
remaining above par during the whole time. And
in this fact experience his invalidated the decision
of the Supreme Court, in expunging the single argu
ment itpbfl *bleb that decision rested, and which
was the only'one from the time of General Hamil
ton. Necessity ! necessary to carry into effect the
granted powers ! Every granted power, and some
not granted, have been carried into efleet since the
extinction of the bank, and under the gold currency
and independent treasury system; and with trium
phant ,totem—the war power the greatest of all,
andiziost successfully exercised of art. And this
sole hanadation for the scum's deeitioii in favor of
the constitutionality of the (lank being removed,
the decision itself vanishes! disappears,' like the
baseless fabric of a vision, leaving not a wreck be
hind." But there will be a time for this subject,
the only object of this chapter have been seem
' plished in the vindication of General Jackson and
the people from th is error of Mons. de Tocqueville,
in relation to them and the bank.
