promise winch distinguishes our country
and its institutions, it becomes us TO enquire
whether it be not possible to secure the
advantages afforded by the present bank
through the agency Of the Bank Of the
United States, so modified in its principles
and structure as to obviate constitutional
and other objections
1T Is thought practicable he continues,
TO organize such bank and he goes on
to show how it may be done, adding that
tho states would be strengthened by hav
ing in their hands the means Of furnishing
the local PAPER CURRENCY through
their own banks. while THE BANK OF
THE UNITED STATES. though issu-
ing no paper. would check the issues of the
state banks
In The opening of the veto message be
fore referred to, the idea suggested in the
preceding quotation, was carried out in the
following terms:--

tertaining this opinion, and deeply impress,
sed with the belief that some os the powers
and privileges possessed by the existing
bank are unauthorized by the constitution,

administration, 10 call the attention OF

or wit the constitution of our country
And toward the close of the same docu
ment, the following remarkable passage
occurs, in which Gen. Jackson not only
avows that he was in favor of q Bank of
the United States, but was dspeased that
he had not been requested to prepare the
plan Of such bank:
"That u B,nt Of The United States com

In addition to which, we state, that we
have seen and read letter in General
| Jackson's own hand writing, addres sed to
the President Of the Bank of the United
States, asking that institution to locate q
branch Of the Bank at Pensacola.
We are enabled to state, and can prove
in court of justice, that General Jackson
once agreed to recommend The re. charter-
ing OF the old Bank-that he requested q
gentleman to prepare paragraph for that
purpose, to be inserted 10 his message, and
to have it submitted to the directors, tha,
it might harmonise with their views-and
that such paragraph was prepared, onC
forwarded to Washington. We could
farther prove, to the satisfaction of an,
twelve honest men, hat a movement from
Albany prevented such n recommendation

u WAR, PEsTILENCE and FAMINE, said
HENRY CLAY in 1898. are preferable to the
election Of Andrew jackson to the Presi-
dency of the United States. Let any
sober, rejecting man sit down and enquire,
which these three ca lamities, or whether
all united could have inflicted more uni
versal ruin, than have The measures OF
Andrew Jacksons administration. Martin
Van Buren, has promised under his own
hand, to follow on, these measures. Now
is it worth the while for any individual in
Vermont (oficc holders excepted to sus
tain these measures. They will answer
the ends Of Loco Eocoism but they are
far separated from the interests of the
country. A community Of goods, a me-
tallc currency, a war upon the merchants,
and upon the encouragement Of domestic
industry; destruction Of the CREDIT
system, which alone sust aims labor, and
insures to the farmer, n fair profit for his
productions; these articles in the creed Of
the powers that be will not suit our

that we could abundan,ly prove its ialsy from
official documents under Gen. Jackson's own hand,
