Ii men and business may proceed naturally,
they will thrive, but it is cruel to rear up a
publick institution, which holds in derision
all the efforts of industry, and the results oi
prudent calculation. .E
The evils enumerated are not peculiar TO
the bank Of the y. States but that bank,
having greater capital, and more extended
circulation OF paper, has produced these CT
tects more than any other. That bank derives
Its relative importance from its being the
worst cancer of the kind in the Union. LIS
hbres extend farthest, and have secured the
most deadening draught on the hnest, most
vital and noble fluids of the body pOlitick.
Nothing in socisty deserves the name ot
acquisition, or the honour OF patronage, un-
less II be the result OF capital, skiil or indus
try, or of combination of the three, but
bsnks set them all at defiance, and millions of
paper Can, at any hours warning, be issued
to defeat the best laid plans OF the most in
genlous Capitalists. Banks engender specu-
lations, false confidence, hollow promises,
daring adventures, publck robbery and ex-
snsive bankruptcy.
For 20 years these effects have been pro-
duced by the extended operations OF The
bank Of the u. States. During the slme
= time the property and personal liberty OF ten
thousand men, and the comfort OF as many
families have been.sublected To the sovereign
and uncontrolled will of few men and this
has been the Refaohcan liberty of The people
Of these States.
If twenty years have enabled that bank to
operate, so as to render 1t dangerous for the
pu5ick and the stockholders 10 close its con-
Germs, let us learn wisdom from hc iaCl, anu
