The Globe pufs Mr.. Calhoun's speech in
bracing him fully, his doctrines. How is it
possible that pro(essed anti-bank party can,
without some secret influence, iraternally
combine with the advocate of a National
Bank Is it not at once, an argument against
their sincerity and consistency


In 1884 Mr.. Calhoun made the following
remarks on the removal Of the deposits by
Gen. Jackson:


81 might say, with truth, that the Bank
owes as much to me, as to any other indlvl-
dual in the country; and might even add
that, had it not been for my efforts, it would
not have been chartered.


" 1t is said that the Bank had no agency. or
at least no efficient agency, in the restoration
of specie payments in 1917, and that it has
failed 10 furnish the country with uniform
and sound currency, rs had been promised at
its creation Both of these allegations pro-
nounce to be without just foundation. TO en-
ter into minute examination of them would
carry me too far from the subject, and must
content myself with saying that having been
on the political stage without interruption,
from that day to this-having been an atten-
tive observer of the question of the currency
throughout the whole period-that The Bank
has been an indispensable agent IN The restord-
lion Of specie payments; that soihhout IL the
restoration could not haue been Effected, short
of the utter prostitution Of all The moneyed in
stitutions Of The country, and an entire depre-
ciation Of Bank paper; and that Il has mol on
iy restored specie payments, but has giuen a
currencyfr more uniform, b,t~ccn the ertremes
Of the country than ,cas anticipated or epcn
dreamed of at the time Of its creation"
