,Ject. Sir, he has more and better infor-
nation than you, sir, or any of you. AN
DREW JACKSON published his opinions in
September last. | am surprised that
you should thus talk to me, sir!-It is
folly: you would have US like the peo
pie Of Ireland paying tribute to London
that already gets large amount annu-
ally from this country, extorted from
the laborlng part of this community
The failures .hat are now taking place
nro amongst The tock-jobbers, brokers',
and gamblers, and would to God, they
were all swept from the land!- it would
be happy thing for the country
Sir said, the Chairman, ali my ex
perence goes 10 show that there is no
money more cheerfully paid by the mer-
chants and people of this country, then
UNDERESTIMATE interest-not such inter-
est as they now pay-two and half per
cent. tc collect sight draft drawn in
Baltimore on Pittsburgh
Sir replied the President, Il had
last night, any amount of money offer
I'd me on good security, by gentleman
from New York, at SIX per cent. 1t is
sir men who have overtraded that they
are now pressed. The real capitalists
of the country felt the pressure last
September and October, when the mon
ster first put the screws down. Did
rot the monster draw from the South
and West, last fall, thirty five miions9
For what. sir?-To Cypress the State
Banks in your city, Philadelphia, New
York and Boston. But Andrew Jack
son foresaw what they were about, and
met them. Sir, could have destroyed
the monster in thirty days-but the Pres
ident would not do it-not wishing to
bring distress upon the people, Andrew
Jackson invited IA compromise with the
mammoth. they would have nothing to
do with me, and now, sir, will have
nothing to do with them. The restora-
ton of the deposites is virtually a re-
newal Of the charter, one aud the same
thing
The Chirman answered,-'The peo-
pie, sir, have not understood the charac-
ter of the President, if be is unwilling
TO bear th~ir calls and demands -
Here, III vehement manner. the
the President exclamed-'The People.
Talk not about the People Talk not
to Andrew jackson, Sir, about the peo-
pIe!-The People, Sir, are with me.
have undergone much peril for the lib>
critics of this People-and Andrew
jackson yet lives to put bis foot upon
the head of the monster, and crush him
to the dust
Sir interrupted the chairman again,
'the country has tried your measures
they will not do. They will ruin two
thirds of the good trading men of the
country. You have bled us-we are
sick, fanting and dying, one after anoth-
Ier.
The Mammoth, Sir replied the
President in aviolent rage,' has bled your
When ! put him down, Sir, the other
monied institutions will meet all the
wants of the people. 1t is folly in the
extreme, to talk to me thus, Sir. I
would rather undergo the fortunes of
ten Spanish lnquistions than that the
deposites should be restored OF the mon
ster rechartered.'
Sir said the Chairman, .as there is
no general relief to he had, do hu, d.
rect the public money now in the State
Bark. in our city back TO the branch of
the Bank of the Unted States, and they
will at once, give Baltimore relief
Talk not to me, Sir, about your
branch!-exclalmed the President
'Did they not send in nine thousand dol
lars Of their illegal bills or checks to
the bank, the first day LET them make
another move or the board, and Andrew
Jackson will check mate them. Let
them turn the screws again, and will
make them feel the power of the Exec
utive, nv returning on them ten millions
of dollars of their illegal checks now in
c circulation
q hope Sir said the Chairman, you
will be able to demonstrate 10 me how
the country is to pay upwards Of fifty
millions of discounted paper now due
the Bark of the United States, with a
metallic currency but little over twenty
millions
The answer was-'Gc to the monster!

the Monster do? Disputed with the Ex-
