JEFFERSON IAN REPUBLICAN
I flatter myself that the exhibition thus
made of the condition of the public adminis
tration will serve to convince you that every
proper attention has been paid to the interests
of the country by those who have been called
to the heads of the different Departments.
The reduction in the annual expenditures of
the Government already accomplished, fur
ttishes a sure evidence that economy in theap
plication of the public moneys, is regarded as
a paramount duiy.
At peace with all the world the personal
liberty of the citizens sacredly maintained.nnd
his rights secured under political institutions
deriving all their authority from the direct
sanction of the people with a soil fertile al
most beyond example; and a country blessed
with every diversity ot climate ana proauc-,
tion, what remains to be done in order to ad
Vance the happ ness and prosperity of such a
people? Under ordinary circumstances this
enquiry could readily be answered. The best
that probably could be done for a people in
habiting such a country, would be to fortify
their peace and security in the prosecution of
their various pur-suits, by guarding them
against invasion from without, and violence
from within. The rest, for the greater part,
might be left to their own energy and enter
prise. The chief embarrassments which at
the moment exhibit themselves, have arisen
from over-action; and the most difficult task
which remains to be accomplished, is that of
correcting and overcoming its effects. Be
tween the year 1833 and 1838, additions were
made to bank, capital and bank issues, in the
form of notes designed for circulation, to an
extent enormously great. The question scem
td to be, not how the best currency could be
provided, but in whu manner the greatest
amount of bank paper could be put in circu
lation. Thus a vast amount of whaf was cal
led money since, for the time being, it an
swered the purposes of nroncy was thrown
upon the country; an over issue which was at
tended, as ji necessary consequence, by an ex
travagant increase of the prices of all articles
of property, the spread of a speculative mauia
all over the country, and has finally ended in a
gcnrral indebtedness on the pan of States and
individuals, the prostration of public and pri
vate credit, a depr ciation in the market value
of real and personal estate, and has left large
districts of country almost entirely without any
circulating medium. In view of the fact that,
in 1830, the whole bank note circulation with
in the United States amounted to but $61,323,.
898, according to the Treasury statements,
and that an addition had been made thereto of
the enormous sum of 588,000,000 in 7 years,
(the circulation on the first January, 1837, be
ing .stated at S149.185.S90,) aided by the great
facilities afforded in obtaining loans from Eu
rupeati capitalists, who were seized with the
same speculative mania which prevailed in
the United States and the large importations
of funds from abroad, the result of stock sales
and Inans no one can be surprised at the ap
parent, but unsubstantial state of prosperity
which every where prevailed over the land;
in. I while little cause ol surprise should be felt
at the present prostration of every thing, and
the ruin which has befallen so many of our
feilow fitizrns in the sudden withdrawal from
circulation of so large an amount of bank is
s tes sim-e 1837 exceeding, as is believed,
th i amount added to the paper currency for a
si nilar period antecedent to 1837, it ceases to
be h matter of astonishment that such extcn
tir shipwreck should have been made of pri
vate fortunes, or that difficulties should exist
in meeting their engagements on the part of
the debtor States. Apart from which, if there
be taken into account the immense losses sus
tainrd in the dishonor of numerous banks, it is
lcf. a matter of surprise that insolvency should
have visited many of our fellow citizens, than
that s many should have escaped the blight
ing influences tif the times.
In the solemn conviction of these truths,
an'? w?th an ardent desire to meet the pressing
ritttrjvMik-s of the country, I felt it to be my du
ty to cause to be submitted to you, at the com
mencement of your late session, the plan of an
Kxd.rquer.the whole power and duty of main
taining which, inpurityand vigor, was to Le
exercised by the Representatives of the peo
ple mu the States, and, therefore, virtually
by the people themselves. It was proposed to
pi.ice ii under the control and direction of a
Tieasury Board, to consist of three Commis
Muuers, whose duty it should be to see that
the law of its creation was faithfully executed,
and that the great end of supplying a paper
me.-fiuni of exchange- at all rimes convertible
into gold and silver, should be attained. The
IWid thus constituted, was given as much
permanency as could be imparted to it, with
out endangering the proper share of responsi
biJtty which should attach to all public agents
Jnrrdcrio ensure all the advantages -of a
til-matured experience, the Commissioners
v re to hold their offices for the respective
periods of two, four and six years, thereby se
em ing at all times in the management of the
Excluqner, the services of two men of experi
i i.ee; and to place them in a condition to ex
ercise perfect independence of mind and ac
t inn-it was provided that their removal should
i nly take place for actual incapacity or infi
:. my to the trust, and to be followed by the :
President with an exposition of the causes of
such removal, should it occur. It was propo
sed to establish subordinate boards in each of
he States, under the same restrictions and lim
itations of ihe po'wer of removal, which with
the central board, should receive, safely keep,
nd disburse the public moneys; and in order
to furnish a sound paper medium of exchange,
the Exchequer should retain of the revenues
of the Government a sum not to exceed $5,000,
C00 in specie, to be set apart as required by
it pt ratirns, and to pay the public creditor
at his own option, cither in specie or Treasury
nr.trs.of denominations not less than five, ncr
-cerdivg enc hundred dollars, which notes
(should be redeemed at the several places of
issue, ana to be receivable at all times and ev
pry where inpayment of Government dues j
wi:j restraint upon such issue of bills that
Hie viroe should not exceed the maximum of
Sl5.t00,000. In order to guard against all
Uie haz trds incident to fluctuations in trade,
i he Secretary of the Treasury was invested
V'ith Huthoruy t s $5,000,003 of Govern
men: .stock, ihou'.d the same at any time be
regarded as necessary, in order to place be-
nut hazard the prompt redemption of the
ilis winch might be thrown into circulation.
Thu4in fact making the issue otgl5,000,000 of
Exchequer bills, reit substantially oa $ 10,000,-
000; and keeping in circulation never more
than one and one-half dollars for every dollar
in specie When to this it is added that the
bills are not only every where receivable in
Government dues, but that the ' Government
itself would be bound for their ultimate re
demption, no rational doubt can exist that the j
paper which the Exchequer would furnish, j
would readily enter into general circulation,
and be maintained at all times at or above par
with gold or silver; thereby realizing the
great want of the age, and fulfilling the wish
es of the People. In order to reimburse the
Government the expenses of the" plan, it was
proposed to invest the fixchquer with the limn
ited authority to deal in bills of exchange, un
less prohibited by the State in which an agen
cy might be situated, having only thirty days
to run, and resting on a fair and bona fide ba
sis. The Legislative will on this point might
be so plainly announced as to avoid all pretext
for partiality or favoritism. It was further
more proposed to invest this Treasury agent
with authority to receiye on depositc, to a lim
ited amount, the specie hinds of individuals,
and to grant certificates therefor, to be re
deemed on presentation under the idea, which
is believed to be well founded, that such cer
tificates would come in aid of the Exchequer
bills in supplying a safe and ample paper cir
culation Or, if in place of the contemplated
dealings in exchange, the Exchequer should,
be authorized not only to exchange its bills for
actual deposits of specie, but for specie, or
its equivalent to sell drafts, charging therefore
a small but reasonable premium, I cannot
doubt but that the benefits of the law would
be speedily manifested in the revival of the
credit, trade and business of the whole coun
try. Entertaining this opinion it becomes my
duty to urge its adoption upon Congress, by
reference to the strongest consideratic ns of
the public interests, with such alterations in its
details as Congress may in its wisdom see fit to
make.
I am well aware that this proposed altera
tion and amendment of the laws establishing
the Treasury Department has encountered
various objections, and that among others it
has been proclaimed.a Government Bank of
fearful and dangerous import. It is proposed
toconler upon it no extraordinary powers. It
purports to do no more than pay the debts of
the Government with the redeemable paper
of the Government in which respect it ac
complishes precisely what the Treasury docs
daily at this time, in issuing to the public cred
itors the Treasury notes which under law, it
is authorized to issue. It has no resemblance
to an ordinary Bank, as it furnishes no profits
to private stockholders, and lends no capital
to individuals. If it be objected to as a Gov
ernment Bank, and the objection be available
then should all the laws in relation to the
Treasury be repealed, and the capacity of
the Government to collect what is due to n,or
pay what it owes, be abrogated.
This is the chief purpose of the proposed
Exchequer; and surely if, in the occomplish
ment of a purpose so essential, it affords a
sound circulating medium to the country and
facilities to trade, it should be regarded as no
slight recommendation of it to public consider
ation. Properly guarded by the provisions o'f
law, it can run into no dangerous evil, nor can
any abuse arise under it but such as the Le
gislature itself will be answerable for, if it be
tolerated ; since it is but the creature of the
law, and is susceptible at all times of modifi
cation, amendment or repeal, at the pleasure
of Congress. I know that it has been objected
that the system would be liable to be abused
by the Legislature, by whom alone it can be
abused, in the party conflicts of the day. That
such abuse would manifest itself in a change
of the law which would authorise an exces
sive issue of paper for thepurpose of inflating
prices and winning popular favor. To that it
may be answered, that the ascription of such
a motive to Congress is altogether gratuitous
and inadmissible. The theory of our institu
tions would lead us to a different conclusion.
But a perfect security against a proceeding so
reckless, would be found to exist in the very
nature of things. The political party which
should be so blind to the true interests of the
country, as to resort to such an expedient,
would inevitably meet with final overthrow in
the fact that, the moment the paper ceased to
be convertible into specie, or otherwise proper
ly redeemed, it would become worthless, and
would, in the end, dishonor the Government,
involve the people in ruin, and sich political
party in hopeless disgrace. At the same time,
such view involves the utter impossibility of
furnishing any currency other than that of the
previous metals, for, if the Government itself
cannot forego the temptation ol excessive pa
per issues, what reliance can be placed in cor
porations upon whom the temptations of indi
vidual aggrandizement would most strongly
operate? The People would have to blame
none but themselves for any injury that might
arise from a course so reckless, since their
agents would be the wrong-doers, and they
the passive spectators.
There
can be but three kinds of public cur
rency. 1st. Gold and silver, 21. The pa
per of State institutions; or 3d. Representa
tives of the precious mateials. provided by the
General Government, or unrrrits authority.
The Sub-Treasury system rejected the last
in any form; and, as it was belie vr;d that no re
liance could be placed on the issues of local in
stitutions, for the purposes of gene.-il circula
tion, it necessarily and unavoidably adopted
specie as the exclusive currency for its own
use. And this must ever be the case unless
one of the other kinds be used The chice, in
the present state of public sentiment, lies be
tween anexplusive specie currency on theone
hand, and Government usurs of some kind on
the other. That these issues connot be made
by a chartered institution, is supposed to be
conclusively settled. They must be made,
then, directly by Government agents. For
several years past they have been thus m ide
iri the form of Treasury notes and have an
swered a valuable purpose. Their usefulness
has been limited by their being transient and
temporary t their ceasing to bear interest at
given periods, necessarily causes their speedy
return, and thus restricts their range of circu
lation, and.being used only in the diVbursments
of Government, they cannot reach those
points where they are most required. By
rendering their use permanent, to the mode
rate extent already mtntiontd, by offering no
inducement for their return, and by exchan
ging them for coin and other values, they will
constitute, to a certain cxtcnt,the general car.
rency so much needed to maintain the internal
trade of the country. And this is the Ex
chequer plan, so far as it may operate in fur
nishing a currency.
I cannot forego tho occasion to urge its im
portance to the credit of tho Government in a
financial point of view, The great necessity of
resorting to every proper and becoming expe
dient in order to place the Treasury on a footing
of the highest respectability, is entirely obvious.
Tho credit of the Government may be regarded
as tho very soul of the Government itself a
principle of vitality without which all its move
ments are languid, and all its operations embar
rassed. In this spirit the Executive felt itself
bound by the most imperative sense of duty to
submit to Congress at its last session, the pro
priety of making a specific pledge of the land
fund, as the basis for the negociation of the loans
authorised to be contracted. I then thought
that such an application of the public domain
would, without doubt, have placed at the com
mand of the Government, ample funds to relieve
the Treasury from the temporary embarrass
ments under which it labored. American cre
difhas suffered a Considerable shock in Europe,
from the large indebtedness of the States and
the temporary inability of some of them to meet
the interest on their debts. The utter and dis
astrous prostration ot the United States Bank of
Pennsylvania, had contributed largely to in
crease the sentiment of distrust by reason of the
loss and rum sustained by the holders of its
stock, a large portion of whom were foreigners,
and many of whom were alike ignorant of our
political organization, and of our actual respon
sibilities. It was the anxious desire of the Ex
ecutive that, in the effort to negociate the loan
abroad, tho American negociator might be able
to point the money lender to the fund mortgaged
for the redemption of the principal and interest
of any loan he might contract, and thereby vin
dicate Government from all suspicion of bad
faith or inability to meet its engagements. Con
gress differed from tho Executive in this view
of tho subject. It became, nevertheless, the
duty of the Executive to resort to every expe
dient in its power to negotiate the authorised
loan. After a failure to do so in the American
market, a citizen of hiah character and talent
was sent to Europe with no better success; and
thus the modifying spectacle 'has been pre
sented ot the inability of this uovernment to
obtain a loan so small as not . in the whole to
amount to more than one-fourth of its ordinary
annual income: at a time when the Governments
of Europe, although involved in debt, and with
their subjects heavily burdened with taxation.
readily obtain loans of any amount at a greatly
reduced rate of interest. It would be unprofit
able to look further into this anomalous state of
things, but I cannot conclude without adding
that, for a Government which has paid off its
debts of two wars with the largest maritime
power of Europe, and now owing a debt which
is almost next to nothing when compared with
its boundless resources, a Government the
strongest in the world, because emanating from
the popular will, and firmly rooted in the affec
tions of a great and free people, and whose fi
delity to its engagements has never been ques
tioned ;Afor such a Government to have tender
ed to the capitalists of other countries an op
portunity for a small investment of its stock,
and yet to have failed, implies either the most
unfounded distrust in its'good faith, or a purpose,
to obtain which, the course pursued is tho most
latal whicn could have been adopted. It has
now become obvious to all men that the Govern
ment must look to its own means for supplying
its wants, and it is consoling to know that these
means are altogether adequate for the object.
The Exchequer, if adopted, will greatly aid in
bringing about this result. Upon what I regard
as a well founded supposition that its bills would
be readily sought for by the public creditors,
and that the issue would in a short timo reach
the maximum of S 15,000,000, it i3 obvious that
S 10,000,000 would thereby be added to the
available means of the Tieasury without cost or
charge. Nor can I fail to urge the great and
beneficial effects which would be produced in
aid of all the active pursuits of life. Its effects
upon the solvent State banks, while it would
force into liquidation those of an opposite char
acter through its weekly, settlements, would be
highly beneficial; and with the advantages of a
sound currency, the restoration of confidence
and credit would follow, with a numerous train
of blessings. My convictions are most strong
that these benefits would flow from tho adoption
ot this measure; but if the result should be ad
verse, there is this security in connection with
it, that the law clearing U may be repealed at
the pleasure of the Legislature, without tho
slightest implication of its good faith.
I recommend to Congress to take into consi
deration the propriety of ro-imbursing a fine
imposed on General Jackson at New Orleans,
at the time of tho attack and defence of that ci
ty, and paid by him. Without designing any
reflection on the judicial tribunal which imposed
the fine, remission at this day may be regarded
as not unjust or inexpedient. The voice of the
civil authority was heard amidst the glitter of
arms and obeyed by thoseiwho held tho sword,
thereby giving additional lustre to a memorable
military achievement. If the laws were oflend-
ed, their majesty wa3 fully vindicated; and al
though the penalty incurved and paid, is worthy
of little regard in a pecuniary point of view, it
can hardly be doubted that it would bo gratify
ing to the war-worn veteran, now in retirement
and in the winter of his days, to be relieved from
the circumstances in which that judgement
placed him. There aro cases in which public
functionaries may be called on to weigh the
public interest against their own personal haz
ards, and if the civil law bo violated from praise
worthy motives, or an overuling sense of public
danger and public necessity, punishment may
well be restrained within that limit which as
serts and maintains the authority uf tho law, and
the subjection of the military to the civil power.
The defence of New Orleans, while it saved a
city from tho hands of the enemy, placed the
name of General Jackson among thoso of the
greatest Captains of the age, and illustrated one
of the brightest pages of our history. Now that
the causes of excitement, existing at the time,
have ceased to operate, jt is helieved that the
remission of this finer and whatover of gratifica
tion that remission might cause the eminent man
who incurred and paid it, would be in accord
ance wilh the general feeling and wishes of the
American People.
I have thus. felIow-citizen3, acquitted myself
ol my duty under he Constitution, by laying
before you, as succinctly as I have been able,
the. state of the Union, and by inviting your at
tention to measures of much importance to the
country. The Executive will most zealously
unite its efforts with those of the Legislative
Department in the accomplishment of all that is
required to relieve the wants of a common con
stituency, or elevate the destinies of a beloved
country. JOHN TYLER.

wilh the Washingtonians," the subjects will be
drawn from real life, and it will be ihe object
of the Author to depict ihe horrors of drunken

exhibited in different classes and conditions of
socieiy, as well as io show ihe remedial means
which Temperance associations furnish. In
acconiplihiiigthis object, Mr. Arthur will brmg

njarked his former productions; and it may be
confidently predicted thai, through the influence
ho will ihus exercise, many an inebriate will
be rescued from the fangs of the destroyer.
The price of these Tales if purposely made
very low, that they may be brought within the
