The systeni has for its basis the State Stocks, or 'debts, sad the project is'to give every man the right, to insti. tutu a Banking concern who will deposit with a designated officer, certifieattrs!, Stock-Pur chase, and to issue on those- a given - rimountof notes. a We-are Sitar° that this system looks plans . L ible ; And yet we believe it chimetical and.vis. inlay in the extreme, and that howeier well it may seem , to operate 'for A Bide time, it must inevitably eventuate in denlerable re sults. • Socha syStem would greatly increase the amount of per molly in circulation, , proper* tionally driving 1)peCIO into Alla =Atli 45f.e.np italists, or to a foreign market; and in' the lat ter ease, bringing about a fmal crisis ths 't would convulse to its centre our whole monetary ityi.• tem. When gaga. money is plenty, specie in variably seeks a more ready rearket;, hence, the temlle crisis from '36 to '4 when paper had so far banished specie that' the, gaper be came valueless from the fact timt specie could not be obtained to redeem it. We lay down the principle, that nothing can contribute more to the permanent prosperity, of a govanment than a sound currency. A sound currency can only be buied on phi and silver, and the moment that bicomesi inflated, by too large issues of paper, that moment the currency becomes unsound. If a Bank issues one hundred thousand dollars and hns a capi tal of but fifty thousand, its notes arc worth but fifty per cent, or one half theif-nominal ' rake ? Such a currency is above all others to ' be dreaded as unsound and unsafe, naturally' inducin extravagant speculations that must end in disaster and ruin. 1. This scheme must have a tendency to in- ' creasilirgely the banking capital of the state,' and we ask, in all conscience, `have we not , more paper in circulation to day than the Banks can make par! It is certainly so ; then what condition would our currency, be in, if that were increased a hundred fold as it , must be by the proposed law ? - Eery little town and'ullage would then have its shin-plaster shops, -the circulating medium would be chok ed and clogged with .papery specie would find a resting place in the hands of these bank' , speculators; and its scarcity would force bills of credit - into circulation from -five dollars down to a - sixpence. We say this_must be so, for it would be a consequence nature/2y flow- ' I . mg from such mufti. -Montrose would Then, probably, become the theatre of a third limit, swindle, for State Stocks even could not Eiave 1 ns. A way would soon be devized'fbcre to r evade a 'free banking law' !This whelp' sys. is illusory, and must explode, in • any country, whenever a revulsion occurs to test its stabile ity, for it has not a specie basis,. ~ - -Such a system we consider - dangerous to` 'the institutions of our corm*. ~It practically concentrates a powerful monied interest and Intimatily connects it with' the govimment, - alternately making each a dependent, .till the, interests of the two are an 'completely bknded' —the sympathies of both no: naturally Iselin-. ing each to the other, that nothing can finelly: prevent the gave:tuned frern beentdagauussii of perfect corruptim Sucb e. erstem dares as Sitallyat the putty of - government_ la' da 'the national Bank; which, in sfeWyearsinore thrill not have been sewati,4 trom .

Such a projectis vis ionary because it has no permanency. When reduced to a practical business transaction, it amounts to this;--giro the greatest credit to hlm who owes most—The State owes forty millions, so of course she can thi more safely be trusted for a hundred millions. The theory of this system, wo, know, is spo . . clone and pretty-to look at. An immense monied power concentrated in , the govern• mint will find hosts of advocates; but let us paime and, ask ourselves the question ; does not the history of all such governments shim, thit under the guilded surface heaves an ocean of ;corruption, and degradation? This system would perpetuate A STATE DEBT. • The evils consequent upon large State in dobtedness have been felt in ,all their griev ousness. Our immense debt like a blood leach lens preyed upon. 'the energies and resour- [ cea of the State. Her citizens stre.met at ev- [ cry step - with onerous taxes to pay the inter est on a debt, which, in the shape of stock, has l always been proverbial for fluctuations. And , yet on these stocks, unsteady and uncertain, it is proposed to ground the whole currency of the State. From the nature of the system the very State debt that has crippled every ever-[ Lgy of the Commonwealth.for the last twenty years, is proposed to be made perpetual. The 1 moment our State Stocks - are converted into Bank Capital, that moment.they are out of the control of the State to all purposes. Being in : the hands of men. whose object is speculation, (for that is the object' of all Banks) they of i course must and will bold them as long as any speculation is probable. And besides, this enormous debt cannot be lessened without at: fecting the very security that: is proposed, [which is of itself sufficient evidence that the movers in this scheme have in view its perpe. [ tuity. -Indeed, that , was - a favorite doctrine with the 'Whigs years ago. Suppose for- the treks of tirgninent that the whole 'debt be paid I ' off after This systemjahalL come in operation, where theta is ourse&rity agalnat a total wreak of every Bank in the:State? It is nowhitre ;, and as it might be' diminished from time to time, so would thel security proportionally di.' I minislic igloo plain for eontradietion.— The same insidious:foe that aimed to concert tate the capital of tire whole Union in a United States Bank, completely defeated in that by the firm patriotism and incorruptible integrity of's Jackson, is now cautiously aiming at the State governments. He. - comes in another' [guise, but to effect the same purposes. Would' that another Jackson might arise to beard the monster in his den There can be no security then from this sys tem, ruccording to. the arg,utnents of its friends, without a perpetuity of the State debt, and to perpetuate that is to place a burthen on the prosperity of the State that cannot be removed for all time to come.

Continual fluctna-1 tions have ever marked . - the, history of our swats, and bat a few years since we were on the eve of total repudiation. ' Such events are almost certain to take place in the affairs of any State, debt-ridden like ours. Now, in a season of general prosperity, we can but just pay our interest; what then could we do in a general crisis :I Suppose, as before, our State Stocks should fall, to thirty per cent, ivhat i would become.of2our- Banks 1 , T'nev would suddenly find themselves stripped _of more than two thirds of their capital; the other third tied up in stocks not convertable, and no pow er on with could prevent o general, total and l 1 irredeemable failure, that in one hour would i weep over the whole.

Datrtzt..Wpasrza, Secretary orState. Looking over a 1 tie - of Documents, a few days since, we came across a copy of" General Jackson's farewelladdresi," when he laid clown hie Presidential 14ors and retired to private life:~ ,, It seenr ti outburst of f . that great heart, eyery throb -of which trem bled for his coliiatry's Welfare, - and ;which now ~_ has ceased to beat - . Would t the whole „ tha address might be read and remembered and eked upon by every citizen of this Union; coming is it doeinow, a voice from . the tomb ~ of -Jackson ;—a warning from the grave of a departed sage and hero. We say acted upon, for however much too stringent some provis ions of the fugitive slave law May be;—how ever objectionable to_ the mind of any person —we are certain all 'good citizens will agree, that the proper,course to pursue is the one guarantied by the 'Constitution .of our common country, var.— its modification, . as may be thought proper. The dnetrine'of"fir eible resistance" Is a dange,rous one, mad must eventuate in the most fearful consequences if recognized. That some of the provisions in _ the, law spoken - of are unnecessarily severe and repugnant tit -mu feelings, is not sufficient to persuade us that a resort from the plain and proper course, laid down i n cases where citi zens feel aggrieved, to force and arms is at all justifiable. The must be full of future calamity, if established. We cog , from the Address: "In order to maintain the Union unimpair ed, it is absolutely necessary that the laws passed by the constituted authorities should be faithfully executed in every part of the country, and that every good ,citizen should, at all times, stand ready to put down, with the combined force of the nation, every attempt at unlawful resistance, under whatever pretext it may be made, or whatever shape it may as sume. Unconstitutional or oppressive laws may no doubt be passed by Congress,either from errianeons views or thq want of ue con sideration ; if they are within reach of judicial authority, the remedy is easy and peaceful,and if, from the character of the lair, it is an abuse of power not within the eontrid of the judicia ry, then free diseuasion and Calm appeals to reason and to the justice of the people, will not fail, to redress the wrong.. But until the lair shall be declared void by the courts, or re pealed by Congress, no individual or combina tion ofindivicipals, can berjustifio in forcibly resisting its execution. „ It, is impossible that any government can continue to exist upon any other Principles.

' • Mr. Jefferson Davis offered a resolution to prohibit-a revision of debates, which was deba ted at some length, and finally laid on the ta ble. • Mr. Clay called forthe resolution offered by him yestcrday, that the President of the Uni ted States be regtiested to lay before the Sen ate, if not Ineompatiblb with .the public-inter ests,sany infOrmation he may possess in regard to an alleged recent case of a forcible resist ance to the execution of a law of the United States, in The city of Boston, •and to•commu nicate to the Senate, under theabovecondition what measures lie has adopted to meet the oc currence, and whether in his opinion, any addi tional legislation is neeeisary to meet the exi gency of the ease, and to more rigorously exe cute existing laws. Mr. Clay said, in calling up the resolution, that perhaps, in a Strict sense, debate would be out of ojder until reliable information on the 'aubjeet Was first'obtained. But' he must be ixrruitted to say that he was astounded on reading the newspaper reports, that such a fla ' grant outrage should haVe taken place. He shuddered at the thought of the officers of kis. tice 'being rnaltrented'bY a limb, and - i'prisoner I legitimately in their custody, rescued froin them. And this - too; in the fade: of the law abiding citizens of the City of Boston. I Who committed the outrage I Was it our ; own people ? No ! but a .band blacks who i had taken the law into their own hands: 'Must the laws of our .country thus be trampled un der foot? Must the Government yield to the mobocracy, or stand up firmly and vindicate I the laws ? Iri offering the restitution, his only I object was to get real facts, so ihat if necessa ry, Congress . might impose such stringent mea sures as would insure the enforcement of its laWs. He therefore hoped the resolution Would pass. • ; • [ Mr. John Davis said that the law was offen sive, and before coming' to conclusions, we must wait for real facts. The people of his State had too much respect for the laws; to • see them trampled upon. The old fire of '76, ,still run in their veins. They would let the races work out their own salvation, be they good,or oil. He thought that no attempt should be made to stifle free discussion on this all important question. Mr. Clay thoughtthe Fugitive Slave Law would never be repealed if such outrageswere pennitted. He Could not express himself in terms strong enough against thosewho burst into a temple of justice,-and carry off with saV age shouts of joy—a prisoner be they black or white men. Mr. Davis said - he was as strong in dennnei. I [ ation of such conduct as any man could be [He thought the only way for the. people to overcome an obnoxious law was an appeal to the ballot-box, and not to brute force. - Mr. Hale said he, to a great extent favored the grou'nds taken by Mr. Clay. Mobs, how ever, belonged to no city. They. were of daily occurrence in various parts of the country— but no one pretended to.say whole communi ties were at fault for the transgressions of the few. What did the resolution call for? Was not the State of Massachusetts able to protect itself in its own local affaias? As the metier stood, the Government -was Wth about to take a Quixotic siep—a step 'something between the sublime and ridiculous. Whoa were troops to- be sent to Boston to put down a mob of-ne- groes ? He did not doubt that - the State authorities were; competent to suppress any_disturbaice whieh took place in their borders. It must be expected that when laws did not meet the sup port of the people, that at times, the cauldron of popular excitement ;would boil over.• He hoped all laws would' be properly enforced, and no violence perniitted anywhere in the country. • Some further debate took place, when the question was taken, and the resolution adop ted. • - Wistitsoros, Feb. 19.
