The standing committee on Roads and Highway! to whom was referred the petition of sundry citizens of the counties of Montgomery and Uutlor, praying that the Rosd La iv be so emended as to do away the principle of working the rotds by days work, and substitute a property tax of suf ficient amount to answer all road purposes within the State, have had the same under conideralion, and ask leave to Kkpoht: That inasmuch is this subject has been agilalod more or loss, lor the last twenty years, the committee havo deemed it not improper to examine it at somo length. The objections that havo gonorally boon urged against the present law, arc: "first, that it ia unconstitutional: and second, that it is inexpedient and unjust." On tho first proposition, it ia slledged that it is a Pol! tax, and in. violation of the Zii section of the 8th article of the Constitution; which declares "that levying taxes by the Poll is grievous and oppressive; therefore, the Le gislature shall never levy a Poll tax lor County or State purposes." Although the committee are not willing to admit that the words ''for County or Stato purposes" could by any fair rule of construction moan to include a road tax which is wholly managed and enforced by township authority, and confined within township limits; yet they are aware that the simple reading of the section, disconnected with the main body or tenor of the Constitution, would admit of such a con struction; and did they believo it to be s correct one, they would bo the first to aban don mo principle by urging a repeal ot the law. Hut on a more thorough examination of tno whole matter, including the original meaning as well as the letter of the Con stitution, with I ho various laws on the sub ject from the first Territorial road law of Hi)!, '(which made "all able bodied male inhabitants from the age of sixteen years and upwards, liable to perform ten days work on the public roads under tho direc tion of tho Supervisors,") down to the State luw of 1-Ui), which established the quantum of labor at two days, thoy have oeen irresistibly led to the conclusion that tho law in question is not only constitution al, hut just and exp'dient. It is a gouerally concedod point, that the must silo criterion by which wo can arrive at a correct docision on a clause ol the Constitution held to be of doubtful construction, is the express, or implied mean ing end intent ol the trainers ot the instru ment. It is a matter deeply to be regret-ed that tlm debaies of the Convention were not published; which, had it been done, would, in connection with the vote on each question, as published ill their journal, have furnished us with inilub, sable evidence of tho true intent and mennm,' ol every clause of the Constitution. I'm by a reference to soiii ) leading facts and circu.nstaiices attending and resulting from tho deliberations ol that body on the points in question, tho committee havo been enabled to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. Tho 4 ih section of tho schedule to the Constitution, provides thut "all laws, and parts ol laws, now in force in this Territory, not inconsistent with this Constitution, shall continue and remain in lull ellect un til repealed by the L-'gislalure." Now as it is a well known lact, that t number of the members of the first Legislature were members ol the Convention that trained the Constitution, and conseq lently were well acquainted w ith the Territorial road law, (as before quoted, which law was based on the principle of a road lax by u-iya work), that body, instead or repealing the law as unconstitutional, sanctioned it hy its contiuuanco for more than a year after the State government was erected; and it was not until the second session of the Stale Legislature that a road law was passed by that body; which law recognized the somo principle, by requiring three days work to be done yearly and every year on the public roads, (passed Feb. 17th, lrjlU.) Ail which goes clearly to prove that, in the opinion of a number of the framera of the Constitution, who composed part of the first Legislature (in ldu:!,) under the Slate government, the prinuipld of levying a road lax by days works, was not repugnant to tbo letter or spirit of the Constitution; otherwise they would certainly have repealed the Territorial road law; and the second Legislature (of 18U4,) would cer tainly not have passed a road law based on, and containing the same principle. And this position is strongly corroborat ed by the provisions of the 5th section of the 4 h article, w hich provides that "no thing contained in this article shall be so consirued as to prevent while male per sons above the sge of twenty-one years. who are compelled to labor on tno roads of their respective townships, or counties, and who have resided one year within the State, from having the rigid of an elector." 1 Ins brings the committee to the second objection, (i. e.) thai the law is unjust and inexpedient. And here the committee would take oc casion to remark, that in tho course of the whole investigation, they were forcibly struck with the conviction that it was the governing policy of the councils of the State, both in Convention and in tho first Legislatures, to place no greater burden on the poor man than would justly bring him within the pale and protection of the law, and the full participation of the bles sings of civil and religious liberty. Hence the true origin of that clause in the Con stilution which gives the right of electors to persons who are compelled to labor on the roads. With these views on this subject, (after promising mat, in forming his social com pact, l'. la necessary mat mo individual should throw part of his natural rights in common stock for the security of those rights which he retains,) the committeo would say, with reference to tho man pos sessing no taxablo property, that to have the privilego of voting and being voted lor, irom me lowest to the highest othces in the government, from a Fence Viewer to that of Governor to have courts of justice open to him, and for an injury done to his person, reputation, or properly, to have justice administered without denial or de lay to havo t tax collected from property for the benefit of common schools, whore the poor enjoy the same benefit with the rich in short, to have the entire expenses incident to oarrying on the whole machinery of our government in the support of the poor in the payment of publio officers of every grade and description in the erection of public buildings and in tho commencement, progress and completion of the vast internal improvements of our State all to be paid by a lax upon property; ought in mo vpiiiiuii ui me cominiuee io aianit as a shield against any imputation ol dealing unfairly ly the man destitute ol taxable properly, whilst he, by two days labor on the public highway, has secured to hun all tho political privileges which tho most wealthy enjoy. The committee would, therefore, rocommend the adoption of the following resolution: KcS'iked, That the committee be dis charged from the furthor consideration of the subject: and that tin petitioners have leave to withdraw tlioir poltuon. LEWIS DILLK, JJKNJ. BALDWIN, JOHN BARNKS, IRA DENTON, SAUL. K. YEOMAN From Hit New York Courlar and Enquirer. No. XL1V. Washington, D. C. March 16, 1834, i his letter is written under feelings of ine ueepest mortification. 1 rerrrel tosav. that those who advise, if tliev do not man- ago the President, have brought him to the conclusion, that he will hold no further in tercourse with the committees, coming from tho people. A suiTering community aro no longer permitted to approach Maiestv. with their humble petitions for relief of thuse ills ana thoo wrongs, which havo been so cru elly mllicted upon them. There are now two hirhly respectable committees here, viz: one from Huston and one from Philadelphia. A member of the lattor, was yestorday presented to the President, by Colonel Walmough, their Re presentative. I ho Colonel explained, that the gentleman presented was Clioirman of the committeo, and that lie would. with his colleagues, wail uoon General Jackson, at any time that ho would name as convenient. I ho President replied, in substance, that lie had determined not to re-ceivo and confer with, hereafter, any com mittees, lie would hold a correspondence, in writing, with thorn, or would be pleased to see tliuin as private citizens. He slated, that tho Baltimore committee had misrepresented him, and therefore he had come to the present conclusion. 1 lie Philadelphia committee have con sulted together, and sniueuf them, it is said, think that their Chairman must havo misunderstood the President, while others are firmly of the opinion that "the greatest aud the best," will not refuse to meot them, coining as they do, from the body of the people. They hove, therelbro, addressed a note to hi in, in which they stae, that they aro not diplomatists, but mechanics and traders. That a labored correspondence. HI the subject of their mission, would be nut of their line; and, as he had ollercd them the alternative of a personal inter view, they would accept it, and reniiost him to name the time of meeting. This note is in their olllcial capicily ss a committee. What reply Gen. Jackson will make is rnittor nf groat uncertainty. Mr Pierson, of Iteiisellser. (the gentle man who authorized Mr Wright tn sny, in the Senate, that there was not a hundred Jackaonmon to the Troy Memorial) was with me rresiu!iu yesterday. During the interview, he informed the honorable mem ber of'Uongrua, that he had determined lo receivo no more of these comm itlecs; and then proceeded to assail, in unmeasured terms of utilise, the Baltimore committee. lie said, that they had given to the public a "palpable falsehood," and he could prove it. lie added, that four "disinterested" citizens were present during the conversa tion, all of whom united in declaring that the report of tho Baltimore gentlemen was false, lie named tho four individuals to whom he alluded, viz: One of this district. one from Kentucky, one from Philadelphia, and one from New Yoik. Thus, then, it is evident that tlm Preai. dent, under the control of an irresponsible Cabinet, has determined to reject a Confer ence, on ths state ol tho country, with committees selected by the freemen of tho laud and why! Have they not a right to de mand nt tlioir public servants an explanation of their acts; and especially thoso sets which have brought in 111 'ir train ruin, dis tress and incalculable misery) Tho President pnsses-es, and under an existing sys tem of usurpation alone possesses, the power of alleviating those sutVerings, recklessly heaped upon an unoffending people. Ami hail their petitions, ami those who convey them, be unceremoniously thrust from the door uf power, in a cold and heartless manner! If they are to he thus insulted, why not let the nation understand the degraded state to which it is reduced! It is no re ply to say, that tho Baltimore gentlemen have uttered "palpable falsehoods." The assertion will nut bo believed; but if it was truo, it is no reason why other men should be excluded trnm presenting their griev ances. 1 ho Presidential attack on tho Baltimore committeo is, however, a tacit admission that tho statements of the New iork and Philadelphia committees aro cor rect. I ho kitchen Cabinet, who maiiago this whale matter, have other, and more substantial rensms, for the decision which they have made. Disgraceful ss the scene is, I will draw aside the curtain which screens it from pub lic gaze. I ho managers, until rocmilly, have had the address to prevent a free intercourse between tho President and strangers. Tho appointment of committees, by the people, has broken down the barriers, by which the "hero of two wars," was environed. Thcso committees have had access to him. Your New York mechanics having set the example, they have discuss-od with him, personally, the cll'ect of the measures he was pursuing. In these discussions he has exhibited the fury of an un. govorhnblo tompor; a want of information, particularly on the subject of their mission; and a total indifference to tho sulliirings which lie has brought upon the nation. These facts, it became tho duty of tho parties to embody, in the form ot roports, and to lay them, under their own signatures, before those whom they represented. The official statements, from gentlemen of uniin- pcached veracity, have placed the President, herons the country, in Ins trie character. I hev are nrodiieinir etteet. I ha frimiilfl of Mr Van Huron have become alarmed at the consequences. They consider Majesty so sacred, that it should only ue approached by those who are ready and willing to minis- tor to its weaknesses, nieir plan is, to kcop oil all who daro to think and speak, in its presenco, the words of truth, with the boldness offreemon. It is, therefore, they have decided, that the President shall no longer receive these comimtteos. But tliey have another reason for exclud ng them. It he receives them as commit tee men, it is tlioir duty to msko a faithful report, under their signatures, of the result of their interviow. Whereby, if he rocoives them as private citizens, thoy can make no such report, and if they presume to repeat, in detail, his intemperate, and unfeeling romarks, they will bo charged with indecorum if not gross impropriety, by publishing, in a tangible- form, what will be termed tho unguarded convocation of a gen tleman's fireside. The object then is, to prevent the facts from becoming public to hoou-wink the people. I w ill add annthor incident, equally dis graceful to tho Executive 1 havo already remarked thai lha Presidout said "thai four disinterested persona" assorted, that the Baltimore committee hsd stated "palpable falsehoods." A degraded tool of Mr Van Huron, but a distinguished member ol the Kitchen Cabinet, is now employed tn procure certificates of the four individuals alluded to. This minion of power has addressed a circular to each of them, requesting a statement, ice. of the conver ation. I impe the request will be complied with. Its lurm will enablo us to judge whother these men are willing to sacrilice, at the shrine of an unhallowed ambition, every vestige of Tame or reputation. Until the deed is douo, I shall doubt; but you may rest assured, that the underlings of the Kitchen are preparing the dieli. The Spy in Wasiiinoton. xLv" Washington, D. C. March 10, ISM. Mr Webster's plan for tho renewal of the Bank charter is now before the Sen-ale. It is his own proposition, unsupported by the Committee of Finance. It will be referred to thai committee, and will be opposed by a majority ot'thein. Messrs Calhoun, Preston, Mangum, Tyler. Leigh, anil others of the anti-administration party are opposed lo it, 1 have deemed it proper to mention these facts, to prevent the excitement of hopes that will not be realized. I doubt whelhor, under existing circum-lances, it would pass tbo Senate. It cannot succeed. The President lias declined, in a writ- ton note, to receive the Philade lphia Com mittee, lie admits, however, the public picssuro, which, until this week, he has scouted. My attention has been drawn, within a few days, to the actual situation of our monetary system, and iho position of I he united S otcs' Uank. On nosubiect, with in my remembrance, has audi a delusion prevailed throughout Iho loud. In no one mstunce hns such a Iraud been practiced upon a confiding people. It is now admitted, by all parties, that the currency of the country is deranged. That not only the mercantile, but every class of society, is suffering under a severe pressure. That commerce languishes. That the manufac turer is suspending his operations. Tint our agricultural producls have depreciated in value; and that our mechanics and laborers are unemployed. What has produced thcso direful results? The friends of fie administration assort, that it is owing to the United States' Bank; and unhappily, many meritorious and honest men believe the asseriinn, because they want time or opportunity to examine into its truih. Let it be asked, how has the Bank contributed to produce .this disastrous state of things? I propose to examine this question temperately; and if I am so fortunate as to render myself intelligible, I will demonstrate to your readers, from official docu ments, now before me, that this chargo is not only uulounded, but that the Bank, by its liberaliiy, is jeopirdizing the interest of I lie stockholders, and endangering its own safety. It is ssserted, lint the local Banks ii.i,c Kieaii, exiemieu their discounts, while the United Stales' Bank has been curtailing. Is it true? No. On the con trary, it ia a fact, established by ollicial documents in the Treasury department, that in the month of February, (he Bank increased its loans more than ono milli n of dollars. During the same period, I believe, the Mate 11 inks employed by the government, curtailed llieir discounts; but as I have not the returns, I will not speak pos itively. Of the result of their operations, during tliu months of January ami Februa ry, I possess evidence. And now, belore I enter upon the examination, may I not be permitted tn ask every candid man, who reads this letter, what will ho think, if I shall demonstrate, beyond shadow of doubt, that during those months somo of the Banks employed by the government, while the public money was increasing in their vaults, reduced their discounts? And what will he say if I show that the United States' Bank increased its loans, in tho same ninths, notwithstanding the continual withdrawal of tho public mincy Irom the institution.'' Let it be clearly and distinctly under- s'ood, that every statement I am about to present, is taken Irom olllcial documents on file, in the Treasury department; and I beg that tins observation may bo remembered, becauso I wish to guard against the audacious and rccliluss assertions ol hire ling cavillers. From these documents, it appears, that in the begi.ining of December tho Dink held, in deposits, on account ol the Treasu rer of the United Slates and public officers, lour millions six hundred and hlty seven thou'and dollars. That on the 1st ol Feb ruary following, there remained in the Bank only two millions five hundred and forty thousand dollars. That on the 1st of December the loans of the Bank wore fifty-four millions lour hundred and fifiy three thou sand dollars. That on the 1st of February they wer incroosid to fifty-four millions eight hundred and forty three thousand dol lars. Thus, then, it is evident that during the months of December and January, the government reduced its deposits in the Bank more than two millions one hundred thousand dollars; while, in the same period, nothwithstanding the withdrawal of this enormous sum of money, the Bank increased its loans about four hundrod thousand dollars. This plain statement, it ia hoped. the wayfaring man will understand. If he does, and is an honest man, he must admit that the Bank has been wronglully charged with oppressing the community. 1 will not stop, however, to comment on this fact, but proceed to give you some ol tno do- tails. In the beginning of Decomber, the loins of the Bank of the United States, in the city of New York, on every description of security, including domestic exchange, a-mounted to live millions two hundred and thirteen thousand dollars. On the 3rd of February following, they amounted to six millions four hundrod and ten thousand dollars; being an incrcaso of discounts equal to one million two hundred thousand dollars; notwithstanding the government had withdrawn from its vaults in that city, during the same period, about ouo million of dollars. Now, how much did tho Banks employed in that city by tho government, in collecting its immonso revonucs, extend their loans during the tamo porioil? In December the total loans of the Manhattan and Mechanics Banks, and tho Bank of America, were ton millions seven hundrod and fifly-threo thousand dollars. In February I they wore eleven milliops sever) hundrod and fifty thousand dollars, being an increase of about eight hundred thousand dollars. Thus, then, we seo that the "pet Banks" in the city of New York, with an increase of government deposits of a million of dollars, have increased their loans Irom December to February only eight hundred thousand dollars, w hile tho Bank of the United Slates, notwithstanding the withdrawal from their vaults of this million, have increased their loans one million two hundred thousand dollars. But there is another view of this case which mercantile men will understand. The government Banks, it will bo seen, have increased their loans about seven and a half per cent., while the United States' Bank has increased her loans more than twenty-three per cent. How stands this matter in Philadelphia? In the month of December the loans of the Girard Bank were three millions ondeigh-ly-two thousand dollars. In the beginning of February they were reduced lo two millions six hundred and fitly six thousanddollar-; being a reduction in their discounts equal to four hundred and twenty-six thousand dollars. During the same months the United Stales' Bank reduced her loans in Philadelphia, less than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In Baltimore, llio Bank of the United States increased her loans in December and January, about fifty four thousand dollars, while the "pel Uank" in that city, during the same months, reduced her loans ubout two h.indred thousand dollars. Wnat is the result of all these details? They present the fact, beyond the power of contradiction, that the loans of the United States' Hank, in the beginning of December, in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, were fourteen millions five hundred and fifty six thousand dollars, and they were increased by the month of February, nolwilh (landing the withdrawal of the public deposits, to fifteen millions six hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars; being an increase of more than one million one hundred thousand dollars.How much did the "pet Banks," during the same months, in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, increase their discounts, with the aid of the public deposits? The loans, in those cities, in the beginning of December, by the Manhattan and Mechanics Banks, and the Bank of A-merica, in New York; by the Uirard Bank in Philadelphia; and the Union Bank in Baltimore, amounted to sixteen millions three hundred end eighty-thousand dollars. In February there were sixteen millions seven hundred and fifty-four thousand dollars; being an increase of three hundred and seventy-two thousand dollars. Thus, their ex ension of relief to the community during the months of December and January, supported by the government, was sev en hundred thousand dollars less than the extension of the United States' Bank in the same time, with the whole power of the Bovorninenl operating against iU Can the U.nk ef lit. United Qtntcc aontinuo thus to act with safety? II is she not been cal umniated and slandered in a most heartless manner? These inquiries shall be pursued in my next letter. The Spr in Washington. No. XLVI. Washington, D. C, Mirch Sls, 1331 In my last letter I demonstrated, by ex tracts tram omciat documents, on me, in the Treasury Department, that notwithstanding the withdraws! of the public do- nosits. I he Bank, ol trie unueu oiaios, Du ring the months of December and January, at great naznru to ineir own saiety, increased their loans, in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, more than one million ono hundred th msand dollars; and that the Manhattan and Mechanics Banks, and Bank of America, in New York, the Girard Bank in Philadelphia, and Union Hank in Baltimore, with the aid ol the publio deposits, increased their loans, during tho ssino period, only three hundred and seventy two thousand dollars; being seven hundred thousand dollars less, than the increase ol the United States' Bank. Now, these facts were, at the time, within the knowledge of the Treasury Department, and of course, within the knowledge of theKitchir Cabinet: and yot, the panders of power had tho audacity to charge the Bank with creating distress and difficulty in the money market, by curtailing their discounts; when, in point of faet, they were daily and hourly extending them Was there ever practiced upon an unsus pecting people a greater fraud? Is it not tho duty ol evory Honest man to assist in dispelling the delusion which has pervaded the country on this subject.'' It is now shown that the Bank for months past, has boen increasing and not diminishing its losns. What, then, has produced the difficulties which bear so heavily upon the community! It is the loss of confidence in the soundness of our currency, so far as it depends upon tho State Banks. It is a firm conviction, on the part of those who own, or are counectod with those Btnks, that they cannot withstand the shock with which they are monaced, if some remedy is not found for the embarrassments attending all money transactions. Those considerations have tended to alarm the sensitive capitalist, and ipduced hun to withdraw from circulation his money which was tern porarily loaned. They havo at the same tiuv, driven into market the heartless usurer, who was loaning his money at eight or nine per cent., and induced him to demand tweniy or twenty-five per cent, per annum. The fall of real estate, and of every species of stocks, and other personal property, on which there was a lien, has rondered it necessary for the owners of it to find new and additional security, or to behold their property sacrificed for cash. These various causos, in eonnection with others that might be mentioned, uniting in one great mass, are annihilating all confidence and credit, and will ultimately prove ruinous to thousands, that yet imagine themselvos secure. It is asked, when will the storm pass over? I answer, ita fury is not yet spent; thick clouds are gathering, and none can tell when or whore they will burst. But to return to the Hank of the United Slates. Can she continue her present amount of discounts? Certainly not. If your Safety Fund Hanks havo been tottering, as they are said to have been for the laat three months, whilo tho loans of the United Stales' Bank have been extending, what will be their situation when heavy curtailments commence, as they soon must? Does it require a magician to answer the question.- Is it not evident, that witnoui relief ihoy must suspend specie payments? The notes and checks on hand in the "pet Banks," as exhibited by their returns, prove that theso B inks havo been retaining the paper of the branches in Philadelphia, flow York and Boston. For what purpose? Most probably for the purpose of attempting lo run on some branch which may ap pear to bo weak in specie. With these alarming facts staring them in the face, how is it possible for tho brsnch in your city to continue its present line of discounts? What reoson can be assigned for their not curtailin?? Do they not intend to prepare for winding up their concerns? And do they not perceive that the local institutions are acting towards them with duplicity? Such, then, is the aspect of money affairs in New York. No relief will be granted hero. Enormous reductions must and will be made, between May and September. All the specie in your State out of the vaults of tho branch is insufficient to pay what sho must curtail during the coming summer. Can the interior Banks, under such a pressure, continue to pay specie? Tub Spy inWashinoton.
