directly or Indirectly, be repealed; and
that the institution be left hereafter to
its own resources and means.
Events have satisfied my mind, and
think the minds Of The American people.
THAT the mischieEs and dangers which
flow from national bank far overhaul
ance all its advantages. The bold eff
fort the present bank has made to con-
troll the government, the distresses il
has wantonly produced, the violence of
which it has been the occasion in one of
our cities famed for lis observance of
law and order, are but premonilions of
the fate of the American people should
they be dcluded into "A perpetualion Of
this institution, or the establishment of
another like it. 1t is lervently hoped.
that, thus ndmonished, those who have
heretofore favored the establishment of
a substitute for the present bank, will
be induced to abandon it, as it is evi
dehtly better to incur any inconvience
that may be reasonably expected, than
to concentrate the whole moneyed pow
er of the Republic in any form wha,so-
ever. or under any restrictions.
Happily it is already illustrated that
the agency of such an Institution is not
necessary to the fiscal operations of the
government. The state banks are
found wholly adequate to the perform
ance Of all services which were requir
ed Of the bank of the United States,
quite as promptly and with the same
cheapness. They have maintained
themselves, and discharged all these
duties, while the Bank of the United
States was still powerful, and in the
field as an open enemy; and it is not
possible to conceive that they will fnd
greater difficulties in their operations,
wien that enemy shall cease to exist.

1t would as soon have heea expected
: that r.ax collectors would seize on the
customs, or the receivers Of our land
effices on the moneys arising from the
sale of public lands, under pretence OF
claims against the United States, as that
the bank wsuld have retained the divi-
bends. Indeed, if the principle be es-
tablished that any one who chooses to
set up claim against the U. States
may, without authority of law, seize OF,
the public property or money wherever
he can find it, to pay .scuh claim, there
will remain no assurance that our reve.
nue. will reach the treasury, or that il
will be applied after the appropriation,
to the purposes designated in the law.
The paymasters Of our army, and the
Pursers Of our navy, may, under like
Pretences, apply to their own use mo.
Aeys appropriated to set in motion the
public force, and in time Of war leave
the country without defence. This
measure resorted to by the bank is dis
organizing and revolutionary, and il
generally resoried to by private citizens
in like cases, would fill the land will,
anarchy and violence.
1t is a constitutional provision, that
1'no money lhall be drawn from the
treasury but in consequence ofappropri
ations made by law" The paIpable
object of this provision is to prevent the
expenditure Of the public money, for
any purpose whatsoever, which shall
not have been first approved by the
representatives of the people and the
Estates in Congress assembled. 1t vests
the power of declaring for what pur-
poses the public money shall be expen,

SEES, OF this experiment, its success has more
than equalled his expectations, and he will
enter upon second year with renewed en-
ergy and assiduity. Experience has sur
gested improvements which have been al
ready adopted; and others, as they offer,
will be introduced in the course of the en-
suing volumes, tending to give addrionaI
interest and permanent value to the enter
prise.

Gent evidence of what may be again ex
ecuted, and the subscriber believes that a

Gent to produce conviction OF he advanta-

1t is the object of this publication, to
furnish gentlemen OF the bar, throughout
the United States, with the most important
British elementary treatises upon Law, in
condensed form, which will render them far
less expensive than works of this descrip-
ton have hitherto been. To gentlemen
residing at a distance from the principal
cities, the advantages of this publication
will be apparent. The very low price at
which it will be afforded, and the facility
with which important works, In the period

the attractions upon which it will depend
for public favour.
The selection of the works to be embra-

the gentlemen above named, already wide

to depart from our present plan, which is,
to reprint British elementary treatises, sui
ted to the business and practice of this coun
try, in a more cheap and convenient form
than has ever yet been done. For this
purpose the proprietor will receive from
his agent in London, at the earliest date,
every important publication as 1t issues
from the press.
The series will be commenced with The
obald's ''Practical Treaties on the law of
principal and Surety, Particularly with re-
lation Mercantile Guarantees, Bills of Ex-
change, and Bail Bonds, vol. Svo. Lon
