Report of the Secretary] of the Treasury
on the Removal of the Dcposits.—‘-This re-
port is unusually lengthy, occupying 6 close-
ly prin-ted columns of the Journal of Com-
merce of Saturday last. It is ably written,
and would interest such of our readers, as
have had their attention excited upon this
subject, butits length forbids its publication.
VVe will enc'eavor to give an abstract of it.

Mr» Tauey commences, by citing the sec-
tion ofthe act chartering the Bank, and pro-
ceeds to prove from it, that the Secretary has
absolute control over the funds, as to their
place of deposit,and that it was not a breach

'of contract for him to remove them, mid
would -not have been, even if the Bank had
been safe, faithful to its charter and trust,
and had enjoyed the c0nfid\ence—ofthe coun-
try. Congress could not remove them with-

,out a breach of contract, but according to
the terms of the charter the Secretary ofthe
Treasury might, whenever in his judgment
the public interest would be promoted there-
by. From his argument he adduces the fol-
lowing principles :

The language ofthe law thereforc,and the
usage and practice of the Government un-
der it, establish the following principles.

lst. That the power of removal was in-
tended to be reserved exclusively to the

-Secretary of the Treasury, and that accor-
ding to the stipulations in the charter, Con-
gress could not direct it to be done. ‘

2d.‘ That the power reserved to the Sec?-‘
retary of the Treasury, does not depend for
its exercise merely on the safety ofthe piib-
lic money in the hands of the Bank, nor up-
on the fidelity with which it has conducted
itself; but it has the right to remove the dc-
positcs, and it is his duty to remove them,
whenever the public interest or convenience
will be promoted by the change.

He then goes on to argue, that, the near
approach of the termination of the charter,
and the manifestations of public opinion a-
gainst its renewal, particularly in the result
of the last presidential election’, and which
would not satisfy him in acting with any ref-
crence to its re-charter, called for a decision
upon the question, whether the deposits
should be continued in the Bank, until the
expiration of the cliarl.::r, or not ;—that it
was obviously improper to leave the deposits
in the Bank, and permit it to do the busi-
ness oflthc government, until the moment of
the expiration ofits charter, because incom-
patible with the gradual winding up of its
affairs, and gradual substitzufioiz of currency,
which the interest of community reqnired;——
the conduct of the bank in collecting its
debts, and curtailing its discounts, required
that the public funds should be placed in the
state banks, to enable them to relieve the
pressure, which the bank had occasioned ;
and would hot. even permit such delay as
must take place, had he waited until the
meeting of Congress ; and from these facts
and reasons considers the following propo-

:sitions established : '

I
~ lst. It was the duty of this Department,

3 not to act upon the assumption, that the

Legislative power would hereafter change
I-he law, in relation to the Bank of the Uni-
:38] States; and it was bound to regulate
' is conduct upon the principle that the ex-
istance of this corporation would terminate
on the 3d of March, I836.

52.]. The public interest required that the
deposites of public money, would not, con-
tinue to be made in the Bank ofthe United
States, until the close ofits existence; but
should be transferred to some other place,
at some period prior to that time.

3d. The power of removal being reser-
ved cxclusively to the Secretary of the
Tfiaasury, by the terms of the cliarter, his
action was necessary in order to effect it,
and the deposites could not, according to
the agreement made by Congress with the
stockholders, hav.e been removc'd by the Le-
gislative branch of the Government, until
the charter ofthe Bank was at an end.

4th. The near approach of the time
when the charter would expire, as well as
the condition of the mercantile community,
produced by the conduct of the Bank, ren-
dered the removal indispensible, at the time
it was begun; and it could not have been
postponed to a latter day, without injury to
the country.

Acting on these principles I should have
felt myself bound to follow the course I
have pursued in relation to the depositcs,
wtiliout any reference to the misconduct of
the Bank. But there are other reasons for
the removal, growing out ofthe manner in

~ which the affairs of the Bank have been
managed, and its money applied, which
would have made it my duty to witdraw the
depositcs, at any period of the charter.

"In addition to this he, argues, that the
bank is,by the provisions of its charter, the
agent of the government, and that the latter
provided for five directors to watch it, as an
agent; and that upon discovery by them
that it was not faithful to its trust, it',became

' the duty ofthe government to dismiss it from
its agency ;—-that the bank has been an-
. faithful,‘ even to a forfeiture of its charter,
A by permitting the business which ought to
be done by the board of directors, to be

~ transacted by a committee, called the Ex-
change Committee, appointed by the presi-
dent, and the directors of the government
were excluded from said committee, for the
purpose of concealment, by charging the
government the damages of the protested
bill.drawn on France, by buying up the 3

\

1*

per cent, and by increasing its loans to ob-
tain political power, and secure the renewal
of its charter ;——all which he thinks will
warrant the following propositions:

lst. That the Bank, being the fiscal agent
of the Government, in the duties which the
law requires it to perform, is liablcto all the
responsibilities which attach to the charac-
tcr of agent, in ordinary cases of principal
and agent among individuals; and it is
therefore the duty ofthe ofiicers ofthe Gov-
ernment, to whom the power has been on-
trusted, to withdraw from its possession the
public funds whenever its conduct towards
its principal has been such as would induce
the prudent man in private life to dismiss
his agent from his employment.

21. That by means ofits Exchange Coni-
mittce, it has so arranged its business, as to
deprive the public servants of those oppor-
tunities of observing its conduct, which the
law had provided for the safety of the pub-
lic money confided to its care; and that
there is suflicientevidence to show that this
arrangement on the part of the Bank was
deliberately planned, and is still persisted in,
for the purpose of concealment.

3d. That it has also, in the case of the
three per cent. stock, and ofthe the Bill of
Exchange on France, endeavored unjustly
to advance its own interests, at the expense
of the interests and thejust rights of the
)CO )lC of the United States.

I l . . . . .

If these propositions be established, it is
very clear that :1 man of ordinary prudence,
in private life would withdraw the funds of
the United States from the Bank.

4th. Tli.-it there is snfiicicnt evidence to
show that the Bank has been, and still is,
seeking to obtain political power, and has
used its nioiicyfor thepurpose ofinflucncing
the election of the public servants, and it
was incumbent upon the Secretary of the
Treasur_v, on that account, to witlidraw
from its possession the money of the United
States which it was thus using for improper
purposes. Upon the whole, I have felt my-
self bound by the strongest obligations, to
remove the deposites. The obligations was
imposed upon me by the near approach of
the time when this corporation will cease to
exist, as well as by the course of conduct
which it has seen fit to pursue.

It must he confessed that this report pla-
ces thc bank in a worse light than any thing
that has yet appeared ; nda were it not the
fact that the bank was attacked first and
was under the necessity of defending its
credit, ~i“.d equally true" that the reasons
which he has given are as an excuse for do-
ing that which was resolved upon before the
reascns were kiiown,and then on the ground
of its insolveitcy, we should consider them
conclusive. The bank cannot be justified
in concealing its operations from the gov-
ernment directors; biit, at the same time,
this fact will not excuse the removal of the
deposits, because it was not known until the
attempt to have the deposits removed was
made. It must be recollected further, that
on this new charge we have heard but one

side.

 

The ]lIcssagc.—Tbis Document came to
band on Thursday last. It was conveyed
from VVashington by express in 14 hours. It
may be found on the preceding page.-
Throwing aside every thing of a fault find-
ing disposition, it must be acknowledged to
he destitiie ofthat dignity and ability which
has characterised preceding documents,par-
ticularly the proclamation, purporting to be
from the same hand. Nullification, and the
difficulties whicliliavearisei; between thegen-
eral government and Alabama, are not al-
lucled to. The l:1ttC'l' will pl‘0bal)ly form the
subject of a separate message, should the
action of Congress become necessary: al-
though we should think a notice of its char-
acter, and present state, was to have been
expected. The Post Ofiice Department is
understood to be between 3 and $400,000 in
debt,and the message assigns as a reason for
it, that there has been an errorin the meth-
od of keeping the accounts, from the earli-
est records of the department. This may ex-
honorate Mr Barry from fault, as to the C93-
pcnscs of his department ; but it will not ex-
cuse the 'derangements which have existed
in the mails since he assumed the control
ofit. It looks too, a little like a back-hand-
ed stroke at JudgeMcLean,the former Post
Master. VVe feel some curiosity to see what
it is which has eluded the observation of Mr
Barry, for five years, and of all his prede-
cessors. The remarks with reference to the
bank and the removal of the deposits are,
not as much extended as it has been suppo-
sed they would be, and present little else
than a reiteration of his former charges.

 

Mn EDITOR :—Happening at Bridgeport
last week, my attention was called to the
devastation, which was made by the recent
fire in that Borough. ‘While observing the
ruins, I noticed that many of the buildings
were some distance apart, and the reflection
occurred more forcibly than at any previous
time, that our situation here, in the neigh-
borhood of the Bridge, where the buildings
are so contiguous, was not only a precarious
but an alarming one. Now sir, although
this fact is the subject of common remark,
I am pursuaded from my own experience,
it is notfclt as it would be, were every one
to visit the scene of the Bridgeport confla-
gration. To know that a thing ought to be
done,and tofecl that it ought,arc two things;
one will permit us to remain careless and in-
difi'erent,but the other will impel us to make

the necessary exertion to effect it. Is there

no means by which we may be roused to
feel our situation ? I hope sir, some will be
tried, and that by a general impulse, we
may adopt some feasible plan, to avert the
danger which iinpends over us. That such
a plan might be devised, both feasible and
sufiicient, I do not doubt, were we once to
become awake to the importance of the sub-

ject. ONE INTERESTED.

 

Correspondence ofthe Journal of Commerce.

VVAsiiiNo*ro.\‘, Dec. 5th,—The Veto of
the Land Bill was communicated to the
Senate to—day. You will find it in the
Globe ofto-morrow. Mr. Clay commented
upon it, in severe terms,spcaking particular-
ly of the delay of Executive action on the
subject. Mr. Benton excused the delay, by
adverting to the fact that the Bill was sent
to the President on the last night of the
session, when he had some ninety or a bun-
dred bills to read and sign, and when, for
that reason he could not be supposed to be
able either to form or express an opinion on
the subject. Moreover, he could not see
why the President was expected to prepare
his Message so expeditiously,when the hon-
orable Senator himself, (Mr. Clay,) was
two months engaged in preparing his speech
on the same Bill for the public eye. The
Message lies on the table, and may be taker.
up for discussion next week. Mr. Clay has
signified his intention to introduce, at an
early day, the Vetoed Land Bill.

Both Houses have adjourned over to
Monday, Mr. Calhoun took his seat, in the
Senate, yesterday. He looks very well——
though the sudden departure, from this
world ofmanufactures and Executive usur-
pat.ion,of several of the leading Nullifiers,
was a bad angury for him.

Burdcn’s new Steam/)oat.——This boat,
about which there has been much curiosity
arrived here on Saturday evening.—The
hull, or rather the halls, of this boat, are
two parallel tubes of 300 feet long each,
eight feet in diameter at the distance of I6
feet from each othcr- Her draft of water
in the center, where she sinks the deepest,
is 35 inches. Her engine is of seventy
horse power. Although the engine is new
and incomplcte—making only I4 instead
of 24 revolutions, for which it is calculated,
——tlie boat came through in twelve hours.
Her speed at times was estimated at sixteen
miles per hour. When her engine shall be
put in complete order, it is no exaggeration
to believe that herspccd will exceed twenty
miles per hour. [Conn

The inhabitants of Midclletoivn, in legal
town meeting, on the ‘.2d inst. confirmed a
former grant of $10,000 to the \Vcsleyan
University, about which there had been
considerable discussion oflate.

The Zllexican Congress has declared the
Pope to be without authority in the country
and a law has been passed, rescinding all
civil obligation forthe payment of ecclesi-
astical tithes, and repealing all laws which
impose any coercion for the performance of
monastic views. By this last provision,
the niinneries and coiivents havebeen thrown
open for all who choose, to return to civil
life, and many ofthe cloistcred have availed
themselves of the opportunity to return again
to the world.

 

The Merideii Bank has,witliin a few days
past, sent out her emission of very hand-
some bills. They are ornamented with
Clocks, Block Tin \Vare, Patent Lamps,
Tin Cannisters, VVooden Combs, and other
articles ofAmerican manufacture. On one
of the bills a manufacturer sits, drawn by
furious steeds, which are pushing on with-
out the incuinbrance of reins. [Rcg.

Inhabitants of an o_2/ster.—Observation
with the microscope have shown that the
shell of an oyster is a world occupied by an
innumerable quantity of small animals,
compared to which the oyster itself is
a colossus. The liquid enclosed be-
tween the shells of the oyster contains a
multitude ofcmpryos covered with trans-
parent scales, which swims with ease; a
hundred and twenty of these embryos; pla-
ced side by side would not make an inch in
breadth. This liquor contains, besides a
great variety of animalculy, five hundred
times less in sizc,which gives out a phospho-
ric light. Yctthcy are not the only inhab-
itants of this dwelling, there are also three
distinct species of worms.
