ducted wilh mnrc ctuilion, and on sounder

tranriiriirns, t Jit government would create
a' demand for it, which wou'd, to a great ex
tpnt, provput its exportation, and lv keep

sound, and the community more safe, ean
not'adinit''of u doubt.
Thfu'fdrrgoing views, it seems to mo, do
bill 'fairly carry out tho provisions of ' the
FedcraVConstitution in relation to the cur
rency, as far as relates to the public reven
ue. At.the time that instrument was fra
med, there were but three or four banks m
-the United States; and had the extension of
the banking system, and the evil? crowing
out of it, been' foreseen., they would proba
bly have been spceia ly cuardpd against.
The. same policy which led to the prohi
bition of bills of credit by the States, would,
doubtless, in that event, b'avcalso interdict
cdtliejr issue as a currency in any other
fnrm."J.The Constitution, 'however, eon
taitisi'np such prohibition: and since the
States have rxercifcd, for nearly l alfa
cenlUrV, the power to regulate, the business
o.b'nnking, it is not to lie expected that it
vifl Wnbnndi.ncel. The whole matter is
now under discussion before the proper tri-
bu'n3lihc people of the States. Never
before has the public mind been so thor
oughly awakened to a pVVper sense of its
importance; never has the subject, in all i s
bearings, been submitted to so Fcarchiiu'
an inquiry. It wruhl be distrusting the in
telliircnce and virtue of the neonle to doubt
the'-speedy and efficient adoption of mcb
measures "of reform as the public good de
mands.,,' All that can rightfully be done bj
the Federal Government, to promote the
accomplishment of that itnportant object
wjllivithnut doubt, be performed'.

t the! , diflercncc wou'd be much grealitr,
. fThis.'isto be attributed not only to the oe-

tnosewiiicli were men predicated, ami, con

Reiving upon the acts of Congress which
held out to them the strong, probability, if
not the certainty ol receiving this instal

i lie preceding suggestions and recoin
nemlations are submitted, in the belief that
their adoption by Congress will enable the
executive Department to conduct our Iim
oncerns Willi b-.icccss, so tar as their man
igeineut has been committed to it. Whilst
he objects and the means proposed to at

srs and appropi late eluttes, they will tilth
lame tune, i. i.s hoped, ny their nccessarx
operation, afl'orel essential aid in the trans
.ictton ol individual concerns, anil tun

idapicd to the nature of our Government.
I'Iiom: who look to the action of this Gov--riiment
fiir specific aid to the ciiizen to rc
ieve embarrassili'ents arising from losses
y revulsions in connnerce! and credit, lose
ighl of the ends fo.- which it was created
uid the powers with which it is clothed.
It was es.alilishcd to give sccuti.y to us all.
in our lawful and honorable pursuits, tin
ier the hilling safeguard of republican in
stitutions. It was not intended to confer sprci.il fa
vors on individuals, or on any classes of
hem; lo create systems of agriculture, man
facturcs, or trade; or t engage in them,
ither separately or in connecti.n with in
livtdual citizens eir orgauiz ;d assnciattons.
If its opcr.di M's were to be directed for tl.e
benefit of any oiie . class; equivalent favors
must, in justice, lie extended lo this r,-3t;
and the attempt to bestow such favors with
an equal hand, or even to select those who
should most deserve them, won d never be
successful. All communities are apt to
look to government for loo much.
Even in our own country, where if
powers ant! duties are so strictly limited,
we are prone to ilo so, especially at peri
ods of sudden embarrassment and distress.
But this ought not to I e. The framers of
our excelled Constitution, and the people
who appreived it with calm and sagaci mis
dc'ib-ration: acted at the Mine on a sounder
principle. They wisely judged that the
less Government interferes with private
pursiti s, the better for the general pros
perity. It is not its legitimate object to
make men rich, or to repair, by elirectgrants
of money or legislation in favor of particu
lar pursuits, losses not incurred in the pub
lie service. This would be substanii til v to
use the property of some for the benefit of
olliers. Mill us real duty (hat duty, the
performance of which makes a good govern
ment the most precious of human blessings
is to enact and enforce a system of gen
eral laws e-ommeusurate with, but not ex
ceeding, the objects ejf its establishment,
and to leave every citizen and every inter
est to reap, under i,s benign protection, the
rewards of virtue, ind 'stry, and pnidence.
I cannot doubt that on ibis, as on all sim
ibr occasions, tho Feileral Government
will (tint its agency most conducivo to the
security and happiness of the people, when
limited to the exercise of its conceded pow
ers. In novel assuming, even for a well
meant object, such powers as were not lie
signed to be conferrrel upon it, wo shall in
reality do most for tins general welfare.
To avoid every unnecessary interference
uith the pursuits of the citizen., will result
in more benefit than to adopt measures
which could only assist limited interests,
and are o igerly , but perhaps naturally sought
for under the pressure of temporary circuui
stances. If therefore I refr.iin fteun sug
gesting to Congress nv spee'lie plan for
regulating tho exchanges of the country;
relieving mercantile embarrassments; or
interfering with tho ordinary operations of.
foreign cr elomestie commerce; it is from '
conviction that such measures are not !

.If .1 - - I M '
Jeneral Government, and that ihe'ir tulep-
ioji wou'd ne t titon.ete tl e- real ai tl per
manent ue'ferc ef thetc tl.ey might I. c de-
k'lied to aid.
The difficulties and distresses of the
lines, though unquestionably great, arc
i.tiitcd in their extent, end cannot 1 c re-
gai'ded as atlcciing the permanent prcspcri
ty eif the nation. Arising, in a great de
gree, trom the transactions ot foreign and
domestic commeice, it is upon them that
they have chiefly fallen. The great rpri-
uitiir.il interest has in many parts ol the
country, sullercd comparatively little, and,
as if Providence intended to display the
munificence of its goodness at the moment
of our greatest need, and in direct contrast
to the evi s occanoned by the waywardness
of man, we have been blessed throughout
our extended territory with a season of gen
eral health and of uncommon fruilfulncss.
Proceeds of our great staples will toon fur
nish the means of liquidating tlcbts at home
iinii tioror.u, ami cnniriii.uie equally to tne
revival of commercial activity, and the res
toration of commercial credit. The hanks,
established avowedly for its support, de
riving their profits from it, and resting un-
eler obligations to it which cannot be over-
looke'd, will feel at once the neccsf ity and
justice ol uniting their energies with those
of the mercantile interest, t he suspension
if specie payments at such a liuic and un
der such circumstances as we have lately
witnessed, could not be other than atempo-
rary measure; and we can scarcely err in
believing that the period must soon arrive
when all that are solvent will redeem their
issues in golel and silver, dealings abroad
naturally depend on resources and prosper
ity at home. If tiie elebt eif our merchants
lias accumulated, or their ereelii is impaired,
'hesc are fliictunt 0'is always incident lo
xtensive or extravagant mercantile transae
ions. Hut the ultimate security of such
obligations lines not' admit of question,
I'licv are guarantied bv the resources of s
country, the fruits of whose industry afford
ibuudant means of ample liquidation, and
by the evident interest of every merchant to
sustain a credit, hitherto high, by promptly
ipplving these means tor its preservation
