brought Mir Rves and his works the crucibe and what
mass OF political puteiactinn does the searching and
searching analysis exhibit TO The former true and
fdinr friends of The ex-senator il is painful in the

for the sake of truth and free government, all poltica
Arnots ought TO be expDsed after the manner of your
able and fearless correspondent who works with gloves
off, calls things by their right names, turns off all false

In the debate upon the Removal oil the Deposcs IN
1884, Mr. Calhoun combaed The position assumed by
Mr. Rives and Others that the question involved the is
sue Of Bank or Bank Of the u s. He brought Mr..
Ryes directly the issue before Congress and The
People and Mr. Riyes solemny and directly pledged
himself to take and maintain the ground for tnkng ard
maintaining which, he now wages war against the Ad

Mr.. Calhoun: ESQ long the question is one be-
tween Bank of the U. S. incorporated by Congress,
and that system Of Banks which has been created by
the will OF the Executive, is an insult TO Inc under
standing discourse the Pernicions tendency and
unconslituon Of the Bank of the u s. To bring
up that question fairly and egitlnatey, you mast go
one step lsrtber-YoU MUST DIVORCE THE GOVERN.
MEsT AND THE BANKISG SYSTEM. VOC MUST REFUSE
ALL CONNECTION WITH BAsxs. You must neither re-
ceive nor pay away Bank notes. YOU MUST GO BACK

men, itself receives and pays away bank notes. IS an
insult The understanding discourse OF the Pernicous
tendency and unconsliuonaliiy OF the Bank OF The
United States that while the Government, by so DOING
treats Tank money it not only has The right but
is in duty bound, 10 incorporate Bank oi Inc Unitea
States and that the question OF the constutionay Of
such institution fairly arise only when me 90

silver in payment Of The public dues. Without stopping
at present to examine the correctness OF The reasoning
of The honorable Senator, reasoning which to my mina
is entirely unsatisfactory, nasmuch as MAKES greal
