ON BANKS, No. 2.

THE United States, upon the organization Of
the federal government instituted National Bank
with branches in the great commercial towns Its
credit during the whole period ofits existence, was
doubted. 1t facilitated the operations Of the
treasury and promoted the business of exchange
throughout the union, more eectually than 1t could
be done by similar Institutions under state
authority. How far il wise to suffer its char.
expire by its original limitation without sub
shutting another in its place, lei the recent enbar
easements of the treasury, and the diminished conf
fence OF monied men in the financial arrangements
If the government determine.
The establishment Of the Massachusetts Bank was
among the first experiments of the kind in this
country. Its success exceeded the most sangiine
expectations OF its friends From its liberal policy
he want of sufficient circulating medium to aid in
he development of the resources of this rising
country had been felt Itwas perceived that hank
,,aper might supply this deficiency; and similar in
.titu,ions were multiplied in various parts Of the
commonwealth. Whether in some sections Of the
;ountry, the number does not now exceed what the
puoc convenience requires, may admit of some
question but that the system itself has had for
years the most salutary effect in giving spring to
every species OF industry, never be doubted by
those who consider the absolute necessity Of COM
,etent circulating medium in every trading country.
Abuses have arisen and frauds been committed in
few instances, by the cupdity and bad faith Of
some who had beea entrusted with the management
Of these institutions. The principles under which
The new charters have been granted interpose many
saiutary checks against the repetition Of similar
practices; aud it is believ ed that nothing is want
ing To give them complete effect for the security Of
tue publc, but the introduction Of chancery rem
edies IN certain cases under the direction OF the
Supreme Court. The Indispensable object of uolic
security being attained, IL is OF essential appearances
that banks should De permitted TO circulate as many

1t will be recoilected that when w ashington
was President and the administration in the
hands OF federallsts, Jefferson and the whole
host of democratic leaders violently opposed
the establishment of the United States Bank,
declaring it to be an unconstitutional and arts
tocratic measure, and they never ceased abu
sing the men or the bank so long as its char
ter existed. But these whitewashed patriot,
having now got over their constitutional an

"A Grampns Cdught.-A correspondent from
Smithfeld informs us that a Grampus fifty feet
| long, and eight feet wide across the tail, was
lately caught in Nansemond river This enor-
nous animal, of the cctaceous tribe, had been
for several days observed in Hampton roads,
James river, sporting amid the ioaming bill
lows, and hailing as it were, the approach Of
the genial season which mparts to all nature
an increase of vitality. This circumstance,
attracting the notice Of some New-England
men, who happened to be in the neighbour
hood, the motions Of the Gramp,,s were close
~ watched, and boat filed with expert and
adventurous fellows, sent in pursuit of the
Lord OF the watery expansc. One OF the
pursucrs, more active than the rest, mounted
three times on the back of the Grampus.
The latter as many times sought the recess of
the deep. leaving his formidable assailant TO
regain his brat, as we'll as he could. The
fourth time the Yankee succeeded in cutting
hole IN the grampus !; aud this wound proved
mortal. For fifteen or twenty miles round
people have locked to the spot, to view The
