To the Editor of the Nashville Union. -. - +
Sir-From the many letters which have
been recently addressed to me. askingafor
an expression Of my viewsirelatiye to the
leading measures Of the present adnfiDis-
tration Of the General Government, some
of which are from well knayn andres
peclable sources, representing that Efforts
are made in various quarters of the Union /.
to incite a belief in the public mind that
my confidence in the present Chief Ma
gistrate hos been impaired, it seems TO be
proper that some steps should be taken by
me to undeceive those who are thus impo-
sed upon. For this purpose; sir. beg
the favor of you TO give place inty Your
columns to lhis'note, which trust will be
as acceptibIe 10 those who have written to-
me on the subject, as direct answer in
the form of a letter would be. .
From whatever cause, or whatever au-s
thori,y, statements may be made repre-
senting me as having changed my views Of
the leading measures of the present Ad-
ministration, they are unfounded and un-
Just. OF the wisdom and importance Of
these measures, and particularly of that
which aims at the establishm; by Con-
gress of fiscal agency for The Govern

And the ability which Mr.. Van Buren has
manifested in developing the bearing Of
this great question, and of its antagonist

With such opinions of the present Chief
Magistrate and the measures to which he
has given his neutrality-suspicious. which

is surprising how any one could take up
the idea that my confidence in him had

Of large masses Of wealth, even in. the
hands Of responsible individuals: they de-
precated lis anli.republican tendency. and
hence we find them overthrowing the sys-
TEN of primogeniture, and limiting en-
tails for the purpose of breaking. up great
estates and promoting republican Equa-
ity.
Is not the present banking system ut
terly hostile TO the views and feelings OF
those patriots and foreseeing statesmen!
are not banks created by force Of law, in
direct violation of the great fundamental
principle Of republicanism, I" Equality in
its broadest sense of rights and privileges
between citizen and citizen-pursuit and
pursuit."
Is there not rank aristocracy-gross ine-
quality, in comforting on one man, or set
of men the power to print money, at
pleasure, and almost without cost, while
other men have 10 earn it by the sweatof !.
their brows!
Do not banks, sir, in contravention of
the great republican principle of Equality,
accumulate large masses Of concentrated,
actual wealth; organized under erclusice
privileges. The motive of power which
is yielded by sort of irresponsible jun,a;
consisting generally of able, ambitious and,
often unscrupulous or unprincipled men,
operating in the dark-working under
ground-sappers and miners, whose oper.
ations are only brought TO light by disas-
trous explosions.
But, Sir, the potency and danger of
real wealth, SO concentrated, and so IN
quisitorially directed-tremendou as it
undoubtedly is-dwindle 10 insignifcance,
compared with the power, and danger.
resulting from the facility of multiplying
their actual means three-6ve-ten, and
in many cases twenty fold by printing
money almost at pleasure, causing wild
expansions-speculation and general IN
Observation-Disclosures by sudden, ex-
cruciating and disastrous contractions in
the amount of their rculation-reducing
it as at this moment, beloD the actual
amount Of gold and silper in the coun-
try.
The systemi Sir, is an almost uumiti-
gated curse-erpensiDe in every point of
view beyond metallic circulation--une-
quaz--.-unjust- demorolising -aristocrat-
ic. In short, dangerous to the rights, lib
critics, morals and best inten.s of the pa
tion. -.-
The hydra is now, however. on his
back-in state of collapse, or, syncope,
from his own excesses. Will his destined
victims suffer him to rise again unshorn
of any portion of his locks! This is q
pregnant question. I,

Mr. Editor: ,.
According 10 late report Of
the Secretary of The treasury, the present
number of Banks, in the United States,
The Camden journal. [volume] (Camden, S.C.) 1836-1851, 1840-07-18

and discounts, e,aa5,ooo

Being about 1-2 per cent. por annum: -
And the stockholders of These Banks
will neuer be satisfied with such dividends
mot more than about half the iegakin-
terest of the States. and little moresthan
I'D of the average profits Of the pro-
ductive pursuits of the country. They
will deem thcmsclves.extremely moderate,
in trying to realize not exceeding s or 10
pr. cent?. and in the grand struggle to re.
alize such remuneraling dividends, exces-
sive issues will inevitably be made-prices
will rapidly rise-un,il speculation will
follow. Madness will again meet the
hour-the currency will again become
disabled: and the bubble will again burst.
What is to be done?-But few of the
Banks will voluntarily surrender their
charters; and all cannot proftably erist,
consistently with the general interests of
the Union.
The remedy is in the hands Of the peo.
pie of the separate States, who created
the Banks. To assume that they will
not exercise it is to assume that the Bank
power already has the mastery; or, that
tie people are incapable of self govern
ment, and need master.
But the experiment of self government
has not failed-the people of the States,
can and piH regulate "the currency"
striking out of existence one half of the
weakest and worst of the present number
of Banks, and laying the others under
arbitrary legal restrictions, to save them
from themselpes and the country from their
rapacity.
Such measures, in CONJUNCTION with the
mild, but salutary, incidental support of
the Independent Treasury Bill, may rem
der the system tolerable. But, in addi-
ton let a general compulsory Bankrupt
law perspective in its operation) be ready
TO take charage of such, as moderate
corrective measure cannot restrain within
proper limits.
l am aware, Sir, that facts may seem
to give an air Of paralogy to the foregoing
remarks-that Notwithstanding the plau-
sibiity of my statements, it may be said
it is fact, that the Banks have made
larger dividends than 1.2 per cent. l
doubt seriously whether they have done
So, after all losses;-but suppose they
have what then! Have they done so " con-
sistently arith sound state of the curren-
cy," and the general good? who can cast
his minds eye on the astonishing events
Of the last four years-contemplate, for a
moment, the present deplurable condition
of the currency, and answer affirmatively?
