Tribune, responded with less of the grace
of eloquence than of the sincerity and ear
nestness of far seeing patriotism. He pas
sed in review all the great measures which
are likely soon to attract the attention of
congress, and expressed with the utmost
frankness his views upon all. He owned
himself favorable TO an immediate repeal
of the Subtreasury the distribution of the
proceeds of the public lauds equally among
the States; the imposition of duty on
imported Injuries, TO pay off the public
debt and TO provide for the support of
government for general bankrupt law
and national bank. On the latter point
he was explicit and emphatic. He stated
that he had ever been an opponent of the
recharter of the late bank. and was an ear
ly and steadfast supporter of the State
Bank Deposie System, until that system
was ruined by the arbitrary caprice of the
federal Executive.
In the present condition of the banks
and the country, he regarded the beneficent
restoration of that system impracticable,
and was prepared TO support heartily a
national bank as the only resource-not
some particular bank project, but the best
bank that may be devised and constructed
by congress and he doubted not that such
a bank would be established, with the
, hearty concurrence of the president.
Mr. Tallmadge avowed himself favorable
to repeal of the expunging resolutions at
the earliest practicable moment. He had
originally opposed the adoption of that
measureln the caucuses of the Van Buren,
party, and would have voted against it but
for the express instructions he received
from the legislature of his state. He then
most reluctantly voted for it a; but he should
now with great satisfaction vote to rescind
and annul that decd.
He closed with an earnest exhortation 70
harmony and hearty concord among all
the supporters of the national administra
lion, as essential TO the triumph of the
common cause and the welfare of the
country.
