H oalaeI9ieAs3 'iso i''s9i'a,esle'i sA 's's ;ss,ally on the subject at the last ses-
 'si 's, oge sir, by the Secretary himself,
 so9 bs haad.--that the deposites were
 p1es' 'aerfecty safe in that bank. And not
 sess' s .a f seems that from having been
 0li5 tben 50 strenuously endeaYored to
 s a-oea9-an iasolyent concern, and ao
 " ,lace in which to trust the public mo-
 s4.e .l,s Rank has notYtoo much specie in

 The bank Is so horribly unreason-
 sal sil that though 1t has ten millions ia spe-
 "y'1, ,,no in its vaults, 1t wants stili inore.-
 .'I .g tbe1. concur that the Bank is a safe
 .i lasa of deposite Wei, ST, ilas ti1c. Bank
 5aei ia complying with any of is stipui;t-
 aons4 Has il refused to transmit the pub-
 r. treasure to any part of the Union, when
 5oedad by the operations of Government!
 sr I speak knowingly and deliberately,
 s.ben I say, that there Is nota Government
 m tbe face of the earth, whether the space
 savered by it's authority be small or large,
 sbicb has been so well served in is finan-
 cal operations, as the United States.--
 Iook sir, at the astonishing fact, that iil all dsq8Dnense receipts and disbursements, not adolar--no sir, not single dollar-has ever been lost by means of inc agency for 1bo collection and transmission and dis hhrsIaeIlt of its vast revenues. N or IS this ag Not a creditor of this Government has had to wait one moment for the reeep- daa of his daas, so far as this agency has besn concerned. And more than that: TAea he got his money, 1t was nIoNEY.-- God grant may be able to say the same tgo geaTs from thj5 time! Thus It ap- ugsrs we have been. Ill relation to our na- doaal Bank, in the fali tide of successful experiment.. Our currency, from rotten ness and rum, has attained to such a de- gree ot purity as IS unequalled by any of i6s same extent in fhe known world. We haze had to pay q mere nominal per cent I age Tor exchange, however distant. And ii the fiscal operations of the Government have been in fact, carried on without ex- 5ease and with | good bank, a solvent 1ank. the most solvent bank on earth, and aita perfectly safe and sound currency hus enjoying all tae heart can wish in this department of our national what 10 We hear?
 After two years of unremitting and un- .xapped persecution, aftef all manner of flanders and libels, which lave recoiled on ne heads ol tic libellefs-altef the most lesperate attempts to prove 1t iasolVent ave been abandoned III despair, though ae Bank has strictly and fully compiled Fitil every stipulation contained in= its char CT, yet have the puhiic funds of tits na- iea, witch had been placed in the Bank. } force ot law, been removed from 1t by ae President of the United States, without 'gaa the shadow of right; and for what2 1! soR OPINION s SAKE. Yes sir, for opin- on's sake. h this land of liberty, where Il men are thought to enjoy the right of Plnion il! its perfection, and the right too, li ail tie ilsfuence they could require and aSs9t ia free community, a great instiffF loE nas been assaulted, and the rights and soperty af widows and orphans trampIed ] the dust of the foot of a tyTant- and hs for the-eXsrcise of the right of opin- on. tray sn, what right has the fresi- lent to say that the stockholders ofa Bank, rs officers, had no right to interfere in IS elecaon! lbelieye they have not in- ellered ln itl am confident there are !oae ef our citizens. who have in a greater iesree abstained from meddiing ia the po- itieal contests of the day But saipposng hey had taken ever so active paftin them, what flght has the President to forbid It. Because a man has placed his capital in a Bank, IS he therefore not 10 dare open his nouthl Ii Is violated Majesty to oppose ne election of a particular President NhY, sir, m the days of Iiberius hlnlaelf hls would scarcely have been viewed as iioated Majesty.
 Sir, one of the reasons put forth by the secretary, i true in point of fact, so far rom belag a reasen to be listened to, and eeelyed b} this House, Is of such kind, aat the very presentation of it ought to ,xeite the liveliest indignation. What IS ne English of all thisl What does the rfealdent mean, when he says that the lianSinlist not thrnst is hand into the pub ie ahans of the country! What does he mean, when he declares ita crime for the pank to possess or exercise any political Influence CT power! Sir, l will tell you Y what ne means. Does any man suppose, if he bank had consented to do whatever the eHeeetlye 2 mandate had required it to do-- I adpat out tonalhan and put in John 'aat we should have ever heard word ef peseetion to its political power! Sir, the :, s's,.sAs',.s lslIiing spoliectlyp When 'ne ffesldenf says, that officers of a Bank oasAt het D interfere with political elections ne means 10 more nor less than his--1ou must become the tools, the creatures oi his ,91l s,9a1lalaistlietion, or you must be displaced. nat, sr, wsss the attempt made, ] eo not say by the President, but by some who We're near tho T9'yss,a4.3;x,s aoa- tlot4ra noi
