REPORTED CONVERSATIONS OF
THE PRESIDENT.

We have RETAINED from a particular No.
tice heretofore of the reports of the various
committees that have waited upon the pres
sdcnt on the subject OF the distress which
was alleged to have fallen upon the coun-
try. Although many of them have been
obviously designed to give false views of
the opinion and sentiments of the presi-
dent, we saw that the discernment of the
public wanted no aid from us to point out
their error in this respect, and suppl,
what Was necessary 10 vindicate the presi-
dent.
Now, however, that the source of such
misrepresentation is in a great degree ex-
hausted, it may not be amiss to adver,
briefly TO the prominent views which the
president is understood to have expressed
in connection with the subject which now
so generally engages the attention of the
public, and which he has avowed in sever
al Of the interviews held with the commit
tees to whom we have referred.
LIST. Among these we number his opinion
that the present bank of the United States
is unconstitutional, and dangerous to the
liberty and morals of the people; and that
all national banks, organized upon the
principles of the present, are liable to the
same objections, and are therefore not con-
templated by him as substitute.
I'd. That the state banks can be made
safe repositories for the funds of the govern
ment, and useful Instruments, under suit
able regulations prescribed by congress
Tor transmitting the public moneys from
place to place, and securing solvencv and
uniformity to the currency of the country.
Towards the attainment of these objects,
the Presiden, has been represented as look.
ing alone to the action of the secretary of
the treasury, independently of the sanction
of Congress. Such, we feel assured. has
never been the case. Whatever measures
have been contemplated by him as necessa-
ry, alter the discountInuance Of the present
bank OF the United States, they have uni
torniy been considered as subordinate to
the general authority of Congress over the
whole subject of the revenue; and all his
suggestions on the subject have been made
with no other view Than that of urging the
timely interposition of this authority to give
permanency and success to the determine.
ton to dispense with 2 national bank as n
fiscal agent of the Government. Within
these limits 1t was obvious that III the great
interests Of the country, affected Us they
