Gen. Jsekson and Bsnks-His Farewell Ad-
dress TO his countrymsn.
There was no one question with which the
strong nind OF AsDBEw Jackson grsppled,
that he more thoroughly eouprehendsd at the
close Of bis illnssriOus public career, than that
OF currency and The evils Of he banking sys-
TEN, Federal and safe. No one ever wsrrsd
with themlwi VIII anek determined resolution, or
crushed them 50 eGsetually as he did. With
the people at his back he bid ds6snes to the
whole monied power OF the country. But Gen.
JACKSON understood their seductive and iasidi-
Gus arts too well to suppose thai they would
not make other efforts 20 fix themselves upon
the yitals Of the country. He therefore took
special pains IN The fsrewsll address which he
bequsaihsd 70 his eousFymsn at the close OF
bis e~veatfal public caFeer, % anticipate these
evils, recount hsir dangers and warn P~Osterity
against them. Il was for US who are now upon
the theatre Of setioa that he wrote. Let US
heed, therefore, the following words Of wisdom
as though the patriot and sage s.ll lived, and
was speaking 10 us fron the capital:
"Tne severe lessons of experience viii, !
doabt not, be sufficient to prevent Congress
from again chsTteriag such a monopoly, (as
the Bsak Of The UHiied Sates,) even II the Con-
situation did not prevent an insupera6ie obJee-
tiou to Il. But you must remember, my fellow
citizens, that eternal vigilance By the peopieis
the price Of liberty and that you must pay
the price il you VIA to secure the blessing.
Il beh0oVes Won. therefore, 10 be lrdtchfug IN
yoHT SiGtes, as well az IN the federal govern
meHt. The power which the moDeyed Interest
can exercise, when concentrated under a single
head and with our present system OF currency,
was Sufficiently demonstrated in The struggle
made BY the bank Of toe United States. De
feated in the general government, the same
elSEs Of intTigaers and politicians win now re-
sort to tire states, aud endeavoT to obtain there
the same organic alton which they failed to per-
peluate in the Union and with speeious and
d~eceitiul plans Of puDlie advantage, aad Safe
interests, and State pride, they viii eDdeavor
10 establish in the different states, one mon
eyed Institution with overgroWn capital, and
with exclusive privileges sufficient 70 enable II
90 control Interpretations iOf the .o,ber hanks
Such an institution will be pregnant with the
same evils pFOdneedby The bank Of The UEitsd
States, although It's sphere Of action is more
confined and in the STATE in which II is char
tered, fhe money power will be able to einbody
It's whole strength, and 10 move together with
undivided forces to accomplish any object It
nav visa to attain. Yoa have already had
abundant evideuce ctfts power 10 inHict injury
