1 - i tlie let section of this act authorizes
A - the Governor to subscribe for $6,000,000 i
of the Union Bank stock; thereby pledging
the faith of the State, as principal, which,
was never completed by the original char.'
ter, in positive and palpable violation of
the constitution, as admitted by the Legis
lature in the report of the joint select •com
mittee above cited.
The supplementary act also repeals sev
eral other important provisions of the oil
ginal charter, thereby taking away from
thopeople the principal inducement which
they had in becoming the 'security for the
bonds. All these facts have been canvass
ed before the people fully and freely, in
every mmk and corner of the State; and
The people (the only proper tribunal) have
decided that the bonds sold by the Union
Bank to N. Biddle, are not the bonds of
the Stale of Mississippi. This I consider
an act of non assumpsit, not of repudia.
tion. The bonds being framed in viola
tiou of the constitution, and no part of the
.
proceeds having been received by the
State, the people have declared that there
is neither legal or equitable claim upon
the State for either principal or interest;
and from that decision there is no appeal.
1 have noticed is the moral world, a sort of
people who are very desirous of appearing
to be good, only by abusing and persecu
ting what they think to be evil in others.
So also in the political; for, strange as it
may oppear, there is a proposition before
Congress to create a stock of 8200,000,000,
for the purpose of enhancing State stocks
—not for the relief of the States, but to
enrich the fund-mongers. We have fallen
on evil times, if such a policy shall prevail.
If I were permitted to give these honor.
and dignity gentlemen a hint, I would re
_ commend them to attend to their own af
fairs; and if they create this stock, to apply
it to the payment of their own repudiated
debts. The continental issues are estima
ted at 8200,000,000, the whole of which
bare been REPUDIATED by the Federal
Govetnment. This is not all; the Federal
Government has forced its creditors to
compound their debts, some as low as one
dollar in specie for one hundred dollars
nominal value. The Government of the
United States also had its agents in the
market, buying up its own debts, and ac•
wally borrowed money for that purpose.
These facts will appear on examining the
act of 1791, making provision IT the pub
_ 1W debt,—Laws U. S., vol. 1, page 109;
also, see Seybert's Statistical Annals of
the United States, upon Public Debt, pa
ges7lB to 724, inclu s ive.
Here is a field ample for these honor
and-dignity gentlemen to exert their ta
lents and sympathies in; and before they
undertake to become tbe saviors of State
credit, I would advise them to pay their
own scores, and show clean hands. But
I do not expect this; for this portion of
the public debt perished in the hands of
the revolutionary soldiers. And I distinct
ly recollect having £lOO notes for thumbs
papers which my grandfather received
for his services as captain in the Revolu .
tion; but I have the highest consplation in
knowing that neither he nor any of his pos
terity have ever asked a pension; and
Should any attempt it, I hope the hand
may wither bef-re he sign the damning
petition. I desire not to be understood as
qtrestioning the propriety of these acts of
the Government of the United States; for
I view it as an act of sovereignty, of which
the sovereign power is on!y competent to
- decide.
Some persons contend that, inasmuch
as the State pledged its faith in the sth
section of the original act; diverting the
appropriation of the money does not viti
ate the pledge. This is certainly a strange
mode of argument. But to admit this to
be true, yet the p'edge is not a constitu
tional one; for, by examining the constitu
tion, it will be seen that two distinct ob
jects for a pledge are named: Ist. "To
raise -a loan of money up :m the credit of
the State," as for state parposes, or, 2d.
"To pledge the faith of the State for the
"N' , .. payment or redemption of any loan or debt,
as security;" as in the instance of the ori
ginal Union Bank: fee . the sth section
pledges - the faith of the State only as sem•
rem; and any act which changes it from
security to principal, must pass through
all the forms required in an original act.
Others contend that, no twithstanding
there is no legal or constitutional obliga
tion, yet there is a 7noral obligation.
Strange doctrine this: for not one dollar of
this money was received by the State. I
have always considered that the only Ali"
gation which could be put upon any cor
poration must be recognized in the coat
pact. To say a moral obligation can be

The crusade against the Canal Commis
sioners is one of great virulence arid we are
no little surprised to see the Penna. Repot.s
ter uniting with their persecutors. We
have always looked upon that paper as dis
posed to do justice to men who faithfully
perform their duty to the public; but its
sneers, on the 17thlifist., about increasing
the profits half a milion annually by chang
ing the Board, and the esserti3n, that (by
a retrenchment of $50,000) the Improve -
Incas may clear $1,500,000 a year, a sum
so far above the entire ordinary proceeds,
will not allow us to award to the Reporter
the credit of treating either the Canal Board
or the public with its usual candor on this
subject.
That the profits of our improvements will
greatly increase we have no doubt, but to
whose exertions must it be attributed?
The remark that giving the present Corn
missionors due credit for what they have
accomplished, is a home thrust at their pre•
decessors, is certainly unjust,notato say in
vidious. What matives could public ser"
vants have for their labors—what incentives
to praiseworthy exertions, if the result of
their efforts must be concealed from the
people on such grounds. For that matter,
we have no hesitation, without any inter•
lion to reflect on the conduct of those who
have heretofore filled the arduous and thank
less office in question—that such efforts as
the Commissioners have made to make our
Improvements answer the ends of their con.
struction, have never been even attempted
by their predecessors.
It is not to the effect of their policy on
the treasury alone, that we are to look for
proof of this fact. It is now visible in the
preconcerted revenge of the influential com
bination they have broken up, and which
hung like an incubus on our public works;
and in the bitter assail' ts of those who have
been i isappointed or ousted from fat pla
ces by their searching measures of reform.
We envy no paper in the State the lau
rels it 'may gain by uniting with such influ
ences, and the fixed hostility of the federal
minority of the Legislature at this crisis.—

The Boston Times of the 17th says that
the brig Raymond (of Thomaston) before
repotted ashore near Absecom, went ashore
at 3 o'clock, on the morning of the 11th

of Great Egg Harbor Inlet, during a violent
gale from S. E. The clew remained on
the wreck until 4 o'clock, when they at,.
tempted to reach the shore in the long boat
but she immediately swamped, and they
were all drowned except the second mate
and one seaman. The following is a list
of those who composed her crew, with the
plaees of their nativity:
Orvis Levenseller of Thomaston, Maine,
master, drowned; George McLellan, of do.

, drowned; James Turner of Lancashire, Eng
land, seaman, drowned; JamesiSarsfield cf

Two bodies drifted ashore, and it was
supposed that others of the unfortunate
crew would be picked up and interred.—
Part of the cargo has been got out, but the
sugar, in consequence of the vessel's bilg

their eyes in holy horror at the wickedness

with honest men to convince them that the

more than putting a stop to a system of

Rms./L.—The charter of the Columbus and

Statesman says, although this is not the first time
this great principle of republican sovcreignty has
been practically asserted, it is the first time it has
ever been applied to an active chapter. It is an
achievement worthy of the State and of the age,
and may be regarded as an era in the oolitical
tory of this country. Flagrant as have been the
outrages of this Company under the aristocratic
authority of special privileges conferred, not. for
private emolument, but public good, and tong as
they have been borne by an abused public, jus

give the following extracts from Benton'e speech
in relation to the valley of the Columbia River:
I do not dilate, upon the value and extent of

the inaccessibility of its borders—and its single

and belief of the creditor that he shall ul
timately obtain payment. if the public
give credit to banks, by taking their notes,
it is because they are confident that those
notes will be paid. if an individual gives
anothet credit fur property, it is because
he believes that he will pay him; and if
he will not, that the laws will compel him
to restore the property. If a capitalist
lends most y to a State, it is because he is
confident that the Legislature are possess
ed of common sense and common hones
ty, that represent truly their constituents,
and are not contracting larger debts than
those constituents are able to pay. While
confidence is thus unshaken, creditors are
willing to extend their loans to almost any
extent; and such was the case in 1836-37,
and 1833-39; at the former period it first
became evident that the banks could not
pay; the Legislature allowed them to suss
pend, because only the public were the
creditors. This was the first serious blow
to confidence; the creditors of the banks I
found that they could not get their pay,
and the law would not protect them. The
sophistry of bankers and financiers, howev•
er, lulled suspicion; and States and indi
viduals were still trusted: Soon the rev
olution reached the individual speculators,
and they, having suspended, as the banks
had done wished to have their failure le
galized in the same way; and the bank
rupt law of Congress, and the stay law of
the States, taught creditors that their trust
in the protection of the law was as fruit
less as that in the means of their debtors.
The next phase which the revolution pre
sented, was the infection of the taxpayers
in many States. The law had absolved
banks and individuals from the payment
of debts, and this formed an admirable ar
gument why taxes should be resisted; and
State bankruptcy has been the result. A
gain the revolution rolled forward, and as•
sumed a new phase. The bankruptcy of
the several States formed a capital argu
ment for ruining the Federal Government
for their relief; consequently, profane
hands seized the land revenues, and atten
dant measures have brought the Federal
Government to the verge of bankruptcy,
to perfect which, nothing but the issue of
8200,000,000 of national stock is required.
Each and all of these measures have been
called "relief' measures; they have been
perfected by those men who clamor for a
restoration of confidence; yet their object
has been to defraud those who give cred
it! What a singular infatuation, that men
should imagine that the way to get credit
is openly to cheat and defy those whom
they wish to trust them!"
