BANYA7 4 1. 36- " Ilaving received a letter fr a personal fr end, who is a member of an abolition so ciety,,proposing to me two questions, which he requested me to answer; but having limn necessity; art-ing from the absolute unpossi• bilitv of answering the nutiteiow letters receive requi•ing my opinion upon political subjects, declined to answer any from indi victual , , I wit ingly embrace the opportunity of at swering them which this occasion has Riven me, without violating the rule. I had found myself under the necessity of adopt ing.' The questions are the following, viz: Ist. 1),1 you believe the People of the United States possess an unrestricted right to discuss any stilject that to them may seeia worthy of consideriitiota 2d. Do you believe the People of the United States have the tight to petition their Legislature for the redress c,f whatever they may deem a grievance, and fur Cie adoption of such measures as the petitioners may think conducive to the wel•are of the na Lion? I do not hesitate to answer both of these questions in the affirmative. The Constitu• bon of the United States, and that of our own State, have secured to the People the enjoyments of the rights referred to in both questions, entirely unrestricted by their own sense of propriety and the legal rules which protect the rights of others. The freedom of speech, of the press, are the distinguish. in,r, characteristics of free gOvernment Without them we might call pur country a Republic, but it would be so only in name; like that of Rome, uuder the emperors, it might be a mask to cover the most horrible despotism. 'I lie right of the People to write and to speak °pertly and freely upon all mat• tern of pubic policy •- is the palladium of all civil and religious liberty." The authors of our Constitution must have knOwn that it would be subject to abuses, to be used for irn• proper, and indeed sometinies criminal purposes, Set they declared it Without re. stiictioti. More than half a celituy has passed away since it came into: operation, and although, upon one mertireably occasion, it was resulted to for the purpose of giving efEict to councils tending to petal% ze the el lola of the nation, in the midst of a danger. ous war, and to encourage the' enemy tie persevere in supporting their uojust pretem souls, still these declarations of flights in re !titian to writing, •spe .king, and 'publishing, have been suffered tti reniain—in all their pristine f tree. I shou:d be the b ist person who could, under any circumstances, con sent to restrict them by legal enactments. I must, howeter, ta.te this occasion to,re• peat, what I hate before declared, that the discussion of the right of one prultion of ti e States, which compose our Untie', to h .Id slaves, ley an assemblage of citizens of other States, which hold none, is in inly opinion rit.t sanctioned by the spirit of the COI/141W Lion. If it is tolerated by the broad and u.i restricted declaration in the Constioniott, to which I hive referred, it is forbidden by the general tenor of that insiruntent, and the furdsmental principle of the (government which it las i stablislied. Our Government is certainly one of a very complicated cha• racier—Ml - brit t w some 01 its aSpects to be nen uoderstre.d.. To firreign Grivernments it presents. and was interlard to, present, power c:othed with the mist empOrtiffir attri butes of sovereignty, and so far 7 as our rela tions with them may be concerned, they are to see nothing beyond that which is ne• serihed in our glorious motto, " E Plurtbus Ueum." We are, however, not one," in the sense that it would I e understood, if plied to other nations which have been fbrm• ed from enre di-j , ritited and separate parts. Our Uni , n is not 'hit which, like marriage, merges the whole rights of toe parties • common stock. We are not "Joined like meeting•river. Our union is more properly like an ordill nary coparthership composed of a number of individuals, who each furnish a portion of capital to be subjected to the control of the minority of the partners, but who each also retain another portion under their own ex clusive management. With the latter, nei ther the partners collectively nor individu ally have any more right to interfere, than if there existed no sort of connexion between them. 'rhit•is also the theory of our General and State Governments. Over the powers retained by the States respectively, neither. the General Government nor, the other States, nor the citizens of the other Slates, can exercise the least control. , If, this opi nion is correct, it follows that discussion in public assemblies in relation to', the institu- tions of other States, with a vieYv to alter or affect them, was not in the contemplation either of those who framed the consti:ution, or those by whom it was adopted. Let us apply the theory I endeavour to maintai n to this assembly. a are here, some 3,000 persons, in the double character of citizens of Ohio and citizens of the United States. In the first, we can undertake the considera tion land discussion of any subject belonging _to our State policy, embody our sentiments in the shape of resolutions or petitions, and, in the event of a supposed grievance, present them to the appropriate State authorities for redress. As citizens of the U, tiled States we are competent to'consider an discuss any subject of National policy, and y a similar process submit the result of r delibera tions, if we should choose to o an, to the department of the Federal .government which possesses the power to se us relief.

Which roll into the nen one common flood, And are no more distinguished." h sill give etrength untaine, But in which of these characters, either as citizens of Ohio, or citizens - of the United' States, could we, consistently with the tneo, ry and spirit of the Curistitulan, discuss e sult.ct belonging exclusively to any other Stole? There are ! many principles to he found in the Constitutions of some of the States (other than• the toleration of slaverl) which are very much unlike those of Ohio—the pro perty qualification of voters, for instance. Thisis a restriction upon the right of suf frage to which, personally. I am opposed. I would accord_ this important privilege to every citizen. Having asceitained that he was a citizen, I would not proceed to inquire the amount of money he had in his pocket, orwhat Other species of property he might possess. With these sentiments, I might offer for your adoption a resolution declaring that the restricted suff age in sonic of the • States was B[l aristocratical feature in their systems of.government, and should be abol ished. Such a proposition could not fail to create much surprise, and bring to the mind ery man' in the assembly that neither in his capacity as a citizen of Ohio, nor of the United States,.could he interfere with the people of Massachusetts, Virginia, and Lou isiana, itaiieJ management of their domestic concerti - '':Should-'Aliould I be askedif I thought thittity harm could arise from such a dis cussion, I answer decidedly ju the affirma tive—harmin more ways than one. It I • would. tentrlnOr#, perhaps, than any thing else, to destroy the idea of the perfect 0 14 . t virtuality and' distinctness of the State 1- vernOtents, minich has ever been consid: •d as one of the most important featdres ;our system, and prepare the minds of the people l'or the prostration ofe barriers 'loch have been erected with so much art arid care between the General and State Governments, and those of the States respectively, and finally lead :to that dreaded consolidation which, in the opinion of our wisest and best statesmen, would be the immediate precur sor of the doWnfall. It could not fail:, also, to impair, if not entirely destroy, those feel ings of confidence and affection between the citizens of the respective States, which is the only effectual bond' of our Union. From the discussiOn of any question in an abstract fornino possible injury could arise. I conclude with the repetition of my opi Mon that the right of the People to o rite on, speak on, and discuss any subject which they deem worthy of cousideration, and that of petitioning ter the redress of any thing which they may consider a grievance," are secured4O them both by the Federal and ,: 4 talti Constitutions, and i that these rights can neither he impaired nor restricted. .The alr.ise of these rights is no argument for abolishing them. In the forcible language of the late distingu;shed Chief Just ice of the , Unit. d State,, 4. it is an evil utseparable from the good to *Which it isalliede shoot which cannot be stripped from the stalk oithout vitally wounding the plant from which it is torn." 7'he two Candidates.—We have often heard Martin Van Buren praised as being the friend of the poor in, by his political edherants. but we have been un able to discontsny ground on which such praise can be supported. 'For the last thirty-five years, he has been engaged in political strugg!es, and during the greater part of the time has held office as a member of the Legislatiare of the State of New York or of Congress. and yet, during all that time, his friends cannot point toa single law passed by his influence or even an attempt to procure the passage of a law to amelorate the condition of the Poor laboring classes. General Harrison is called by the Van Buren party, the candidate of,the aristocrats, the Silk Stocking gentry, and of the rich men, but we are also unable to discover the ground on 'which these assertions can justly be based; Gem ral garrison, for the last thirty ears, has been in public life as a member of the Le gislature. both of the State and of Congress, and also es a Governor of Territories and a successful General. In every one of these situations we can point to his tory, documents, and laws for act!, done by him, laws passed, and others attempted to be. all tending for the encouragement, protection and benefit of the in dustrious poor, arid these acts were done during the Whole c,ourse of his public life, not here and there in Dlitary instances, but it, an uninterrupted current, proving that they proceeded from a heartfelt desire for the comfort and happiness of his fe:low citizens It is a very easy thing for a politician to lay hold of a measure that has the appearance of being favourably rro • iced by the people, and increase his popularity by professing his adherence to it, although he may neither desire nor care for its success, any further than it may tend to' his individual advancement, end thus induce the people to believe he has their interest really at heart:: This may•te done once•or twice with success, but no man can dissemble during a whole life snd, a course of conduct uniformly having for its end the good of the people can only proceed from deep seated and hied principles of action. Thus it is with General Harrison, his whole life has been spent in doing good, end he is now receiving the reward from his grateful conntrymin. ' , His good actions were not performed after he waslorniight before the-people as a Candidate Fir the Predidency, but were the rause of his being a Candidate. Ais principles are not made faiths present political cont.Vst, but have been formed. acted upon, and exemplifiedietaring a long life, and are recorded in his messages; ;Teaches and - public acts, and in the history of the country. For a man to say that he dnes not know what are the principles of General Harrison, is to proclaim his awn ignorance. Let him who is desirous to learn what those princi ples are, read the history of the United States, and not the Newspapers of the loco torn party. In the former he will see nothing favourable-to Martin Van Buren--and in the latter nothing but abuse of General Harrison. 'try Major Jai. H. Haan. late Minister to Spain. the Biogruphir of Gen.

It is the most condensed and faithful' epitome of the State rights doctrines which we have ever seen, and in a few words gives the most lucid exposition of our com plicated form of Government which, in our belief, any man has given." ' Gen. Jackson was not elected with any fleeing. ~ expectation, on the part of any of his supporter! that he would interfere with the currency of th• country. We affirm this, as the truth of hietery It is incapable of refutation or denial. It 4 es' et lain that the American Revolution was not node taken to destroy the rights of erty, or natal . ° the obligation of morale. T, But unhappily, he become Irivotted In a contr. veray with the then existing Bnnk of the Uni .. States. He manifested a desire, how originating o by whom inspired, is immoter!al, to exercise a polit ical influence over that institution, end to eau°e the institution to exercise in turn, a political irtuen over the community. Published documents prov this as plainly as they prove any other act of Ms Ad ministration. In this desire he was misted, thwart ed, and finally defeated. tut Wifat he could no govern, he supposed he could destroy ; and the even showed he did not overate his popularity, and b' power. He pursued the Bank to the death, an. achieved his triumph by the Vr to of 1832, The a• • customed means of maintaining a sound and unite,- • currency, fopthe MAP of the whole country, Morin • been thus trample 4 down and Jest toyed, recourse wa had to these new-modes of experimental administ tion, to which we have already adverted, and wbic terminated a i disastrously, both for .the reputation u hissdministration, and for the welfare of the country. But Gem Jackson did not deny his constitutiont obligations, nor seek to escape from their force.-41 ii never professedly abandoned all care over the gene al currency. His whole conduct shows that be stls mined, throughout, the duty of the General Governs meat to maintain a supervision over the currency 9f . the country, both metalic and k ipper,- for the genetsl good arid use of the People: and he congratihtted both himself and the; nation, that by the measurer adopted by him, the currency and the eachanges of the coun try were placed on a better footing than they ever had been under the gyration of a Bank of the United States. This confidence in his own experimenti e we know, proved most illusory..

Effect of the Loco War on Banks.—ln 1830 when the locos commenced the war on the Banks. there were only THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY BANKS in this country. In 1840, when the loco Legislature of Pennsylvania embraced the Monster, there were NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY. ONE BANKS in the country. During all this time they had the control of the General Government— and nearly all the State Governments. Fellow citi zens, do you believe that the cry of down with the Banks," was sincere—or was it not got up by that party, to divert attention from their acts and enable them to incorporate as many Banks as they pleased eculative purposes. e s 7 TI a Philadelphia papers would confer a favour on many of their readers, it they would publish a list of the Banks, incorporated since 1830, designating the States in which they are located, and the number incorporated in' each State since that period—and also the political character of these States when the Banks were incorporated. Such a statement would be very gaptable to the people at present—and will enable then to judge which party increased the Banking institutions of the country. J. W.

The gentlemen were addressed upon the subject, and the following is the reply of the Post Master : The reply of Gov. Shannon has not yet been received. DEAR SlR,—Yours of the 4th inst., is at hand. In reply to yont inquiry, I can say that John W.

Is it not dh.graccful in the extreme! Is it not time for a change Bunker Hill Declaration. SEPTEMBER 10th, 1840. WiIEN men pause from their ordinary occupations, and assemble in great nu ',hers, a proper respect for the judgment of the country, and of the age, requires that they should clearly set forth the grave causes which have brought them together, and the purpo ses which they seek to promote. Feeling the force of this ,ibligation; m're than fif ty thousand of the free electors of the New England States, honored also by the presence of like free eiet tors from beady every other :Nish: in the Union, hav ing assembled on Bunker Hill. on the 10th day of September, 1840, proceed to set foith a DECLA RATION of their principles, and of the occasion and olje.ta of their meeting. In the first place, we declare our unalterable at. tachment to that Public Liberty, the purchase of so much blood and treasure, in the acquisition of which the field 'whereon we stand obtained early and perishable renown. Bunker Hill is not a spot on which we shall forget the principles of our fathers; or suffer anything to quench within our own bosoms the love of freedom which we have inherited from them. In the next place, we declare our warm and hearty devotion to the Constitution of the country, and to that Union of the States which it has so happily ce mented, and so long and so prosperously preserved. We call ourselves by no local names, we recognise no geographical divisions while we give utterance to our sentiments on high constitutional and political subjects. We are Americana, citizens of the United States, knowing no other country, and desiring to be distinguished by no other appellation. •We believe the Constitution, while administered• wisely and in its proper spirit, to be capable of protecting all parts of the country, securing all interests, perpetuating a National Brotherhood among all the States. We be lieve that to foment local jealousies, to attempt to prove the existence of opposite interests between one part of the country and another, and thus to dissem inate feelings of distrust, and alieniations, while it is in contemptuous disregard of the counsels of the great Father of his country, is bat one form in which ir regular ambition'destitute, of all true patriotism, and a love of power reckless of the means of its gratifica tion, exhibit their unsubdued and burning desire. • We believe, too, that party spirit, however natu ral or unavoidable it may be, in free Republics, yet when it gains such an ascendency in men's minds, as leads them to substitute party for country, to seek nn ends but party ends, no approbation but party approbation, and to fear no approach or contumely, so that there be no party dissatisfaction, not only alloys the true enjoyment of such institutions, but weakens, every day. the fdapdations on which they stand. . We are in favor of tbe.liberty of speech and of the press, we are friends of free discussion; we es pouse the cause of popular education; we believe in man's capatity fur self-government ; we desire to see the freest and wideiit dissemination. of knowledge, and of truth; and we beliiive, especially, in the be xdgrt influence of the religious. feeling, and moralin lttrpett4Pi 4n the 1 1 0# 1 1 1 sa u on tbq iP4iTidnal *pineal of man.

Gen.

Hence, in one most important brlneb Of public interest,"iii that essential part of .ao • regulation,, which respect the money, the. anrecii, the circulation and the internal exchanges of_, country, acts tentel occurrences, 'acting on his eh octerietic love of rule and uneasiness tinder oppoak dim, led him to d4art flout all that was expect from him, and to enter upon measures, which pluit both him and the country, in greater and greater dif &cultic.* at every, step, so that, in this respect, hi whole course of administration was but a aeries o, ill-fated exper;ments, and of project,,, framed in di regn - rd of prudence, and precedent, and bursting i rapid succession ; the final explosion taking place, f e w months after his retirement from office. In all the measures of Gen. Jackson upon the ca • rency, the prevent Chief Magistrate is known to he concurred. Like him, he was opro , -ed to the Be of the lin.ted states; like him, le wee, in favor the State Deposue Banks ; and like 116 - , he initiate p that by the aid of such Banks, the administration h i accomplished all that (mild be !lensed, on the greet subjects of the currency and the exchange. ' But the catastrophe of May 1637, produced a nepr crisis, by overthrowing the lust in a aeries of experi— ments', and creating an absolute necessity, eitherit! returning to that pary of the Government whi h General Jackson h<d repudiated, or of renounci4 altogether the constitutional duty which it had hesrt the object of that policy to perform. The latter branch of the alternative was adopted. Refuge nits sought in escape. A duty, up to that moment O mitted liy tdh was suddenly denied, and the fearful resu ution announced, that Government should he e . after pro%ide for its own revenues, and that fur tte rest, the people roust take cure of themselves, • Assembled here, today, and feeling in commits with the whsle country the evil consequences of lie principles, and these measures, we utter 'ego st them all, horn first to last, our di t p and solemn diis approbation and remonstrance. We condemn the early departure of Gen. Jackson (rum that lined policy which lie was expected to pursue. Wer!.. plore the temper which led him to his original qu r. ref with the Bank. We deplore the hesdstro , f t spirit which instigated him to pursue that institutio to its destruction. We deplore the timidity of soar the acquiescence of others. at d the subverviency all his party, which Enabled him to carry its whi unbroken phalanx to the support of measures, e the accomp l ishment of purposes, which we knu have been against the wishea,pe remonstrances, the consciences of many of the moil. respectable intelligent. We deplore his abandonment of mi auras that had been pursued for forty-years, his experiments with great interests; and the pe ranee with which he persisted in them, when of different temperament must have been satisfie . their uselessness arid impotence. But Gen, Jackson's administration, autho 1 and influence, are now historical. Thu belon the past, while we have to do, tosday, with th nines evils, and the still more alarming portent the present. We remonstrate, therefore, most e estly rind emphatically, against the policy upon subject of the present administration. We pro against the truth of ifs principles. We deny thei priety and justice of its measures. We are c strained to have too little respect for its objects, • we desire to rouse the country, so far as we ear the evils which oppress and the dangers that round us. We insist, that the present administration consulted its own perty mids t and the preservatic its own power, to the manifest neglect of grew 1 jects of public interest. We think there is no her silty, tno political comprehension, no just poi in its leading measure/. We look upon its shin cat went Of the cunenc7 es fatal and we regard its tort tern of sub-treasuries as but a poor device to ay • is. high Obligation. or as th e first ins new series of ill. lees experiments .
