demands
Here, in a vehement manner. the President
exclaimed, The Peoplel talk TO AsDREw JACK
son, sir, about the People!-thc People, sir, are
with me. have undergone much peril for the
liberties Of this People; and AspREw JAcKsoS
yet lives, TO put his bead upon the foot Of the
monster, and crush him to the dust
Sir interrupted the Chairman, again, the
country has tried your measures; they will not
ldo-they will ruin two-thirds Of the good trad
ing men of the country. You have bled us-we
are sick, fainting, and dying, one after another.
The Mammoth, SIR replied the President, IN
violent rage, has oiled you!" When put
him down, sir, the other rnoneyed institutions
will meet all the wants Of the people II IS fol
ly in the extreme to talk 70 me thus, SIR. j
would rather undergo the tortures OF ten Spanish
lnqusiions, than that the deposites should be re-
stored, or the Monster be re chartered
Sir, SAID the Chairman, 'as there is no gene
raj relief TO be had, direct the pablo money now
in the State Bank, in city, back to the Branch
of the Bank OF the United States, and they will
at once give Baltimore relief
Talk not TO me, sir, about your Branch!' ex-
claimed the Presiden.--sDid they not send in
nine thousand dollars OF their illegal bills OF
checks TO the Bank, the first day? Let them
make another move on, the board, and Andrew
jackson Will check mate them. Let them turn
the screw again, and will make them feel the
power Of the Executive, by returning on then
ten millions of dollars Of their Illegal checks now
| in circulation
| Il hope, SIR said the Chairman. you will be
able TO demonstrate how the country is to pay
upwards Of fifty millions Of dscounting paper
now due to the Bank CT the United States, with
a metallic currency but little over twenty mil
| lions
| The answer was-sGo. 20 10 the Monster,-
and only the other day, sir, what did the Mon
ster doS Disputed with the Executive the right
10 the pension fund.- At this time the President
had grown into such rage, that no object to
be gained by attempting to prolong the discus
sion, and several Of the delegation had already
manifested their wish and their impotence &c
close the conference, the members of the delega-
ton Withdrew.
The delegation have cndeayored TO report all
that passed at this Interview as accurately as
possible. They have employed, as far as theii
memory has allowed them, the exact words thai
were used on both sides, and have set nothing
down which was not distinctly within the recol
lection OF some Of their party; whilst, at the same
time, they believe they have omitted nothing o
Importance to the illustration of the opinions
which the President endeavored to express, ex
cept one assurance from the President, which
upon reviewing what they have detailed above
they now supply. In the course Of his remark
on the state of the question before the country
the President declared, that he meant 10 try tn
present experiment with the State banks, unit
the period of the expiration Of the charter Of tn
Bank of the United States; aud that il il the
should be found not to answer, some other pla
would be resorted 10.
Thus concludes all that the Delegation have t
report of the sentiments of the President.
Soon after this interview, the Delegation re
turned to the City Of Baltimore. They deem
| unnecessary TO comment upon the incidents
their visit to the city Of Washington. The abov
narrative-faithfully detailing all that passed, a
nearly as was possible for the Delegation to re
port the same-will afford every citizen of Bait
more the means of making up his own opinion
regard TO the probable duration Of the preser
state of things.
