These consequences follow irresstibly
from the fact, that the money in the hands OF
the borrower represents nothing, which mon
ey ought to represent. 1t represents none OF
the tolls and solisitudes, by which the wealth
oil useful citizens is acquired. The borrow
er is not limited in the expenditure by any re-
collection of the cost or value. lie expends
il before he has earn, 1t, and cannot bear TO
=" labour for that which is nought." Solomon
is ,,r witness, that this is NO new trait in
the character of man.
Take the distinct case OF man, whom
YOU have paid before hand Tor his work. You
rxpect bis services, but he has expended
freely what you have advanced, because 1t re-
presented nothing bur his promise, and prom
iscs are cheaper than hard days works. Your
money is gone. His fanny is IN wan, bat

Extend this common case to bank, hav-
Ing a capital oil ten millions, and debtors TO
the amount of twenty millions. The adz,the
saw and hammer will move slowly, because
the legislator has sevexed forever the labouI
aud the hope OF reward.
The present Congress has not indeed done
this the Congress of l79l did it, and YOU
are now called to renew the charter OF the
bank The advocates will tell you that the
States abound in banks. Then let us relieve
the people from this. They plead loudly the
artificial diStress from the approaching close
ol this bank, and would by this persuade you
10 ohen hcorever. A great preacher once
remarked, that wise men would not, Tor fear

men, of our government, will be forcibly
struck with the proPristy OF the proposed a.
mendment.
The practical exercise of the federal 60

Indispensable necessity of an amendment
to the constitution, which shall render the
senators and representatives ineligible to
any post, under the United States, during
the term for which they were elected and
for one year thereafter. |. cannot be made
too strict or rigorous. The man who seeks
seat in Congress, with the hopes by that
means to retire upon lucrative office, will
be venal sycophant towards thoss VINO

We have seen of late that the most ready
road to preferment, in the federal goVers.
ment, has been 10 become a member OF
Congress We have seen some made judges,
some attornies for the United States, some
governors of territories, some ambassa.
doris, some messengers, and some collectors
of the customs.
That Offices have, almost invariably, been
conterr.d on those, who have been the
mes, distinguished supporters and promo
tiers of the measures of the administrator
comforting the appointment, no person can
doubt. He who can doubt that political
corruption unavoidably springs from such
source, may, if he pleasss, doubt that
animal putretactiou is produced by the com
bined action of air, heat and moisture
But neither the real philosopher, nor the
enlightened politician, will feel doubt
upos either uf these points and the sc
nuine republican will rejoice to see con,
stitusional check put to practice, which
may be used BY corrupt executive, as a
most eficacicus means of bribing the mem
