 Sir, the great interest of this country,
 the producing cause of, all it's prosperi-
 ty, is labor labor! labor! We are a la-
 boring commnnity.sls A vast majority of us
 all live by industry. and actual occupation,
 in some of their forms. 3s' ss..s \
 The Constitution was made to protect
 this industry-to give it both enconrage-t ment and security ]. but, above all, seclri-., ty. To that very end-- with that precise object in view, power was given to Con gress over tho currency, and over the mo-
 ney system of the country. In forty years'
 experience, we have found nothing at all
 adequate to the beneficial execution of this trust, but well conducted National Bank. That has been tried--retuTned to---tried again, and always successful. fit be not the proper thing for us, let it be soberly argued against let something better be proposed let the country examine the matter coolly, and decide for itself But whoever shall attempt to carry a question
 of this kind by clamor, and violence, and
 prejudice whoever would rouse the Peo-
 pie by appeals, false and fraudulent appeals, to their love of independence, to resist the
 establishment of useful institution, be-
 cause it is bank. and deals in money. and
 who artfully urges these appeals whenever. Ire thinks there is more of honest feeling than of enlightened judgment, means ,noth-. ing but deception. And whoever has the
 wickedness to conceive, and the hardihood1 to ayow, purpose to break down what has been found, in forty years' experience, es- sen,ial to, the protection of all interests. by
 arraying one class against another, and by
 acting on such a principle, as that tte poor ai,Cays hate the rick, shows hipiself the reckless enemy of all. An enemy to his whole country, to all classes, and to every. man in it., he deserves to be marked esps-
 cially as the pO0r 6idn's curse sgSts
