Directors OF the institution. The VIC.
laiion of moral principle committed by
bank in suspending specie payments.
Is, IN my estimation, not inferior TO
that Of fraudulent bankruptcy in an
individual. The right Of any Legisla-
ture to authorize such a suspension is
questionable, and the repeal of laws
expressly enacted to enforce the full
filment Of contracts, at the very mo-
ment when they have been broken.
is a mockery Of all moral principle aud
scandal to human LEGISLATION.
But, fellow-citizens, indulge the
hope that the sufferings Of our country,
at the present crisis, arc. like the pa
roxysms Of fever. efforts Of Nature 10
throw of the disease. We have tried
the nostrums of empires, md, as usual,
they have aggravated the worst symp-
toms OF the distemper. fear We have
not yet reached the last stage of the
lpestilence, and that we are still TO be
more severely handled BY The doctor
than by the disease.
But the patient has a firm aud vigo.
rous constitution and he cannot die
After suffering, as we must, under the
operation Of some other mounte6ank
experiment, upon the failure OF which
those who palm il upon us will tell
US II is what they alS avs predicted.
aud then otter another. perhaps the
People Themselves will discover that
they have been led astray upon wrong
track, and Will return TO thc right one
This has happened 10 us more than
once heretofore. This calm and con-
siderate return of the People, through
their own suIerings, 10 injustice, tenn
Perance and prosperity. is one OF the
greatest and best characteristics Of the
r1tion. IL gave Us an excellent con-
stitution Of the United States, instead
Of National Palsy, under the name
of Confederation. II gave US gal.
LIANT aud glorious Navy, instead of dry
docks and gun. boats. II restored spe-
Gle payments. after they bad been
suspended almost universally, and un-
der circumstances Of far greater diiii-
Guilty aud danger than the present. I
trust il Will restore them again. With
regard to the present Administration
l cannot have much confidence that,
as you suggest, il will profit by the
errors Of The last. The errors OF the
last Administration are. IN the eyes Of
the present, its virtues. The eminent
success Of the substitution Of State
banks for Bank Of the United States
has crowned the late Administration
with so much glory, that nothing less
than a hint from the People can ever
convince the present Administration
that IL was an error. The reform must
come from the People themselves.

could adopt, undeT the circumstances,
such measure, proiessedly for such
purpose. 20 be looked upon in the most
charitable light, must be set down as
palpably ignorant. Unless We so look
upon it, We should be forced TO say the
meeting was composed Of slsvish and
sycOphantic citizens. or Of knaves. In
neither light are they TT inhabitants for
Republic. They deserve the scoTn
ofevery freeman.
We have eschewed Politics-we oc-
oupy a neutral ground; and deny that
we now violate it, We reserve to our
selves the right Of freemen in express
ing our views ofpublic doingsin which
we consider the public feelings insult
ed, and the genius OF our freedom out
ragged. TINS is a marked case Of the
kind. And We may be allowed TO ex-
press our regret, that Mr.. Van Buren,
should have replied 10 these citizens
IN the courteous manner that he has.
In his letter 10 the committee he saws:
"For this expression Of their confidence
and good will, and for the accompany
ing pledge of support and cooperation
in unfolding the authority Of the con-
stiiution and laws, beg you TO male
those YOU represent my sincere &C
acknowledgements"
President Van Buren, is said 10 be q
calm, dispassionate man, and we hope
! patriot. Could he think tor a mo-
ment that the enlightened and law.
loving people, over whom he pFesides,
were prepared TO resist the enforce
ment OF the laws; aud did he not see
the movements Of these mo party
rcn, were based upon the inference
that resistance was probable, Was the
whole not blair aud blot and an in
suliing reflection upon the character
of Americans 1t undoubtedly was:
and we express our unfeigned regret
that the President did lot saw 10 these
oficious men, that their offer was en-
iirely gratuiious, as be ought 10 have
done. We regret this proceeding, so
unnecessary, not on account Of any
great irjury 10 result from IL alone; but
this sort Of proceeding looks like one Of
the apPurtenances Of despotic Govern
meat; when n first caught our eyes we
thought q body guard and ali the
train OF force and aieguards " !. ich be-
long 20 the Executive Departments in
such Governments. And so evidently
Sraiui'ous and out Of keeping in this
country, we de,est The preceding as
insulting to the people and unworthy
Of Americans.
