MR. HLAVD’S PROTEST,
asainst a national bank:
Submitted to tbe JLt gialature oj Maryland.
"To the Sen stars and Jfrfirtsvntativet of the State
oj Maryland in the Congress <tf the
United States.
The general assembly of Maryland feela the
firmest attachment to tbe constitution of the
United S»ates, vuil is sincerely desh us of pro
moling the integrity and prosperity oftlir Union
1 uis assembly is also impressed with sentiments
cf respect amTesteem foe the senators and re
presentatives of this state in the congress of the
V'dted Slati s ; sod it would not officiously oh
trudt its opinions uju-rf the councils ofth nation,
but when it is perceived, that principles have
been agitated, ■ and establishments pmpoved,
which thete is reason to believe must finally
Prove ruinous to me h *rmi>ny of these states,
and poisonous to the liberties of the piople,
if adopted, it cannot refrain from expressing
its opinions atul fears, its hopes and wishes.
1 he Hank of the United States was establish
ed by an act of congress, passed in the year se
tuitceii hundred end ninety one. The pond peo
pie of Maryland, preferring harmony to discord,
and peace to strife, beheld the erection and con
tinuanceof that baleful institution, with .1 spirit
of tolerance and self cotnmkml which they belie-!
'rd coniported with their duty as citizens of a j
free and enlightened republic. They beheld I
their beloved constitution bruised and fracturtdj
by a governmental b-irking- company : but they
jociict'! t-Twurd to a season when die wound
might bi healed, and their fundamental law re
5 ied toils original vigor and purity They pa
tier-dy awaited the arrival of I lie peiiod w! en the
ciii.Mer . 1 the hank of die United States would
exj.’re, when so dangerous an institution should
quietly chop into oblivion, and be heard of no
more. Sin h had bi en the hopes anil expectations
the people of this s*ate ; but tliey have of late
1 ad s 'ire cause to appr ehend that these hop. 3
and expectations may prove to be delusive. Not
withstanding the wanting experience of this &
odit-i nations, m hostility to the intere* ts of the
p* nr it ot d-ebi states, and in contempt of the con
stitution of the United States, the establishment
ol a rational bank has been ..g-dn proposed as an
institution, the erection of which is wise, politic
tmd constitutional !
In opp< sit ion to doctiines so dangerous in
therr ecus, qucnccs, '.he immediate represents
l.vis i f the people of Maryland should hold
tin mst Ives bound to raise their voice. There is,
in the opinion of this assembly, a material and
striking difference between a banking company
incorporated by a state law, and limited in it.
operations to commercial purposes merely, and a
great monied institution, which grasps the
shield of the government for its defence, and is
continually flourished and invigorated by the re
venues of the nation passing through its various
brain! a. The provincial banks of our count ry
•re calculated vo answer all the ends of a fair
c< mmi rce: they c»n never endanger the interests
of the nation, became their operations aie con
fined to given cireli s of demand for paper credit
—they are most likelv to produce the benefits
desired by such institutions lie. uuse their issues
ar.d credits must always be graduated by the retd
Commerce of the country, and those who are in
terested guard their c pital and profits, hy re
tabling funds sufficient to answer any demand,
and by curtailing credit, when credit cannot be
extended 10 advantages tl .*y' cannot long conti
nue to the manifest prejudice of the community,
because they depend solely on the unbiassed
public opinion ; their credit, like that of every
tradinir company, rests v here all credit ought to
rest, upon actual capital and resources—they act
r.n.i acted upon bi the only true and genuine
priori pi* sof credit—public opinions flowing f,
as air in every direr ion to its proper level, iumi 1
fluem cd b\ any’ unnatural or for. ign pnwt r w .n - |
ever. Wdl m these bounds, and upon tin se :
principles, banking establishments have been tie |
in ficial to nur country—Ar.d experience proves ,
that, operating under such limitations, ifuu . f j
fott should fie m ,de to push paper credit far ,
beyond its title extent, the bunks themselves fall
the sacrifice: the shock produced is that of 0 J
common bankruptcy ; the t«\vs, the const'uti j
on and the peace of *li commonwealth, remain |
unagit-ted by' it-sue ti 11 failure induces
caution, and rather renovates than impairs
credit, by evincing that it rests on its proper
basis.
Hut the operations and consequences of ana- 1
tionsl bank are widely dissimilar. Such an insti
tution, und r the control of government, holds
out a perpetual temptatioiuto engage in measures j
of extravagance, or to puftue them after the real
resources of the country are spent It affords a
Cover under which the dilapidaiors of the tveasu
ry may be hid from the eyts of the people It
furnishes an hy pocritical cloak which public men j
may throw about them, to support a cliara ter j
thiry do not merit 'i lie nature of the loans, the
deposits, and all the barg ins, d alings and con
trivsnces, bet ween the g. vi rnmeni and the h ink,
an wholly invisible to the public ; their causes
are not known, and their detrimental effects and
consequences an above ’.tie reach of calculation.
IV hero such a connection subsists, no efficacious
mode can be devised for preventing collusion
Let ween the necessities of the administration h
the avarice of tlie* hank,to the prejudice of the
nation. i nt ineiM.ic mtaium or the whole coun
try may be collected, or it m«y be hastily drawn
from l bo banks of any state in die union into the
bands of administration, and squandered on ob
jeet.x and for purposi s the most ill-advised and
disastrous, with « rapidity ruinous in >ts effects
and utterly beyond control. A nation d baqk,
sooner or later, concentrates tbc power, and
congregates into a distinct body the monied inte
rett of h country, wiiicli it ever ranges outlie side
cf administration. Exn utive patronage and
monied influence are thus brouglit to net in con
ceit for their mutual ag. raiidizrnient, to the
destruction cf public virtu- , and the ruin of.lie
hhetlils of the people. Nothing cun finally re
fist their united awry; even the monied interests
of the state banks, allured by the pri fit to be
der'-ved f rom bending to circumstances, d wmdle
at length ii.lo petty streams of influence, mere
ly tributary to mat of the great national insti
tution.
It the whole moss orpnpcr to be issued by both
ratio ud and state banks should obtain circulation, !
either through the influence or coercion of the
government, the price ofinb-.r must rise, out m i j
mlfacturers would be disabled from compel n,;
with foreign manufacturers—The agricuituivrs, i
artizansand traders of tin Uu ted Staten, having
the. products of their imlustiy thus burthened by
an artificial and unfair vaine, would have to meet
those of other nations under disadvantages which
they would be wholly unable to with;,land, if a
national bank of any sort be erectvd, it will one
way orotber be connected with government, ami
the work of corruption will commence ; avarice
will he m ute the ruiii g prim iple ; schemes, plots
and intrigues will bi the mode by which the ad
minis*rator of national affairs w-ll act, and a m-r
4.lil love of lucre will crowd il*< If into t: ep-.aee
ot generous attachment Hut s n h a bank it is
a-ill, “ will tend to give facility to the .obtaining
of loans for the use of the government in sudden
emergencies” The government of the Uni **d
Ststi 8 stands in need of no such awkward bo ty
gu ard as that of a banking Company ; it rests on
t'.r good opinion of the pcopde t it is a work of
their 'twn, and thi y will uphold it with all their
I -wer : it b»x their confidence, because it is tiieir
collected will, and they arc ready at a call to in
trust it with their money and property —It is *!.»
object of their best affections, and tiny will
\ j'r.h ever it with tenderness, and protect it a*
the hrz,n! of their lives. Hy adverting to the
anna’s of other nations, It will be f*.mid that no
toVrrbV- j*ist government ever failed to obtain
^rom individuals credits and loans, amply coro
inenaurat necessities, and with a readiness
Answerable t>» any emergeicy ; and this assent
•'} is ir-mgljf impressed with thr belief, that

Metallir medium, as the sign of the value of

f muled on the opinions of mankind in general, 8c
is the- vfore not withrtt the reach of any inutnci
P d regulation, nor under th«* guidance of any sin
gl nation of the earth The paper medium is
stung from a national bank, indirectly carries
with it the pliglitcd fiitlt of t!ic government, and
obtains a credit above what it should have as the
mere representative of real v due—It consequent
Iv is halite to m it of t ie evils, and subject to
the depreciation, incident to mere paper money.
*'Exrcssive credit has hitherto proved the tomb
ol public credit in all nations ; it advances from
a dollar lo a hundred, from a hundred to thou
sands, fn.ni thousands to millions, and finally to
the juni'iure in which tliu wit de delusion vanish
es in the expansion of its own magnitude.” Self
interest will prompt the bank to extend its issues
of paper: the government pressed by its necess
ities, or tempted by the prospect of power, will
ik; urgvci 10 »un»'.tion u;e procedure? tne bank
will •g*n» over-issue ; the government will again
extend its shield, anil so on without end Thin
in not merr theory, it may be found as a portion
ot the actual political history of other nations.—
Ami when this assembly beholds one of tiie most
polished nations of Europe at this moment strug
gling, aiul apparently struggling in vain, to extri
eat- herself from the fullest corruption, and most
complir.a'ed embarra.smems,occasioned chiefly
bv this system • f paper credit, in the short peri
od of little more trail halt a century, it turns to
wards t.ie national councils of our common coun
try, and awaits their final decision upon this Ml
important subject, with the most uiixi us &<>l.ct
lude.
Win n this assembly views this subje-t in ano
ther aspect, and looks into the constitution, in
search of t ie article or section by wludi Con
gress is en -bled to incorporate monied inst ituti
ons, t * create monopolies, or establish bodies po
litic, and confer unon them great and exclusive
powers nud fi aiich'zes, us *pprebciisions, <xcit«-d
by the impolicy of such institutions, a e not un
mnigl-u with a considerable degree of indigna
tion at the boldness of the proposal to erect a
n itioncl bank. The government of the United
Stains is peculiar in its etructuie, and. limited in
its powers. The constitution, which cal td it in
to existence, ‘ is not a general grunt, out of which
particular powers are t xcepted—it is a grant of
particular powers only, leaving the general mass
in othet li. nds *
Thus it w .s interpreted and understood by its
best friends at llie time of its adoption ; &. lest
other and improper constructions should be giv, n l
to it, the Unlit art le of the aniendments, which
was fin ally adopted soon after the pa-sage of the
act incorporating tne hank of the United States,
explicitly declares that ‘ the powers not delega
ted to tin. United States, by the constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the Males, are teserved to the
Stales respectively, or to the people.” Review
ing the constitution with an eye to the principle
o! this amendment, it is in vain we search for the
p rwerto incorporate a bank. The only clauses
under which sir li a power can he pretended, are
either, 1st *• The power to I ay and collect tax
es. to p iy debts, aiv.l provide for llie common de
fence and general welfare ”
It will not be allcdgcd that the first part of this
clause has any ix la(ion to the subje t ; of ihe Isst
it may be said, “ that by general welf are, is meant
cases, in which a general power m,gut be exerci
sed by congress, w ithout inter!* ring with the
pnwi rs of tiie states : anil that the establishment
of i nat ional bank was ot this sort ” In answer
to this, it appears to this assembly manifest,* that
th proposed bank would interfere so as directly
to . fleet a state bank at the same place ; that it
would diretlv intcrh re with the rights of the
states to prohibit as well as to establish banks, 8c.
the circulation ot bank notes ; that into, ference
with the power of tiie states, is no constitutional
criterion of the power of Congiess If the pow
er was not given, congress could »u<t exercise it;
if given, th.-y might ex, rc.s t, although it should
nilei ieie wiib iiici-iwa, ui cYCPi ti c CiiiiSiitiiuuii
ot tiie states ; that if congress could incorporate
a bunk, merely ber. use the act would leave the
Malts tree to establish banks also, any other m
corpiuation might be made by congress; they
might even establish religious teachers in ivery
palish, and pay tln-m out ot me treasury of tiie
United State*, teavu-g olht r teachers unmolested
in their functions ’ And it must be fresh in the
recollection of the Senators and representatives
of this Mate in Congress, how loudly and dis
tinctly, on a late occasion, the people of Mary
land « xpresaeri their indignation at an attempt to
en. mirage religion? establishments; their feel
ings upon this subject are yet alive, and Ibis as
sembly is convinced that nothing would do grea
ter violence to their sentiments and opinions, m n
any act which should indirt-tly invest congress
with a power to erect or promote such establish
ments.
The second clause is, that which empowers
congress to borrow money. The obvious mean
ing ot the power to borrow money, is that of ac
cepting it from, and stipulating pay orient to, those
wdio ale a'de and willing to lend. To say that tne
power to borrow involves a p wer of creating the
ability, where there m y be tne will to lend, is as
forcttl a const'uction, as to say mat it involves
the pow. r of comp-1ling the will, w here there
may he the abmty to lend
The third clause i«, that which gives the pow
er to pass all laws necessary and proper to exe
cute ih<-specified powers—** Whatever meaning
this cl;-use nt «y have, none can he admitted that
would give an unlimited discretion to congress*
Its meaning must, according to the nutui d and
obvious force of the tc; ms, and the context, be h
mi'.ed to means necessary to tbr end, and incident
to the nature of the specijieupisuers The clause
is in f.ct, merely tic< i tiutory ol what would hav
re suite tl by unavoidable implication, as the »p
propriate, and as it wire technical, means of e x
ecuting these powers” Let its pursue ibis im
plied power a little further, and we shall cle<ly
perceive its unsutiudnea* and absurdity. “ To
borrow money i-> ma»'e tin end, and the accumu
Ihdon of capitals implied as t' e means. The ac
cum lation of capit als then toe end, and a bank
implied as the means The bank is dien therm/
a cnarler of incorporation, a monopoly, capit al
punishments, &c implied nv the means If im
plications thus remote, and thus multiplied, can
be linked together, a chain may he formed that
will reach every object ol legislation, , very ob
ject within the whole compass of political econ
omy” The doctrine of implication Is always a
dangerous one Like an insidious serp> nl, it has
wreathed and coded itself alnutt other govern
incuts, ami stung ‘hem in the very vitals ■, we too
may be made, ete long,to feel it i deadly vi nom,
" if vve do not keep close .o our chartered autho
rines ” This Assembly feel* itself fo idled in
tbe interpretation which it his given to the Con
slitiltion of the United States, when it recollects,
dut it has been solemnly declared by one >f the
most distinguished fra rue rs of that ins'runniu,
who now f.lls tnc highest station in the Union
