We have had a conversation with this
gentleman, on the subject of rechartering
the old United States Bank, or any bank
based upon similar principles, and find that
so far from being in favor of such an insti-
tuition, he is desirous that the financial con-
Germs of the Federal Government, shall be
separated from all Banks. His opinions are
decidedly in favor of the. constitutional cur
rency; he would have the Government pay
and receive no bill, except the notes of it's
own Treasury, (or such paper, as would
be an equivalent to the national currency
which he is in favor of issuing for the conve-
nience of those having dealings with the Go
vernment, and for the accommodation of the
public at large. He is unwilling to see any
corporation trusted with controlling power
over the currency of the Government, by
which its uniform value or quantity can be
regulated; that being power, he thinks, not
only unconstitutional when so entrusted, but
too near and dear to the people, ever to be
placed any where, except where the Consti-
tuition has directed; viz: in the hands of the
Representatives of the People, in the Con-
gress of the United States Should Con.
gress be so unwise as to delegate this pow
er to be used or abused by others, at plea
sure we assure the people, that Mr.. Mont
gomery will not be found among those who
will adopt so suicidal measure. He will not
oppose, but will favor the emission of Coy
eminent paper, in sums not less than S 10


based upon specie deposite, to be provided
by Congress which body is pledged fol
the redemption of the paper when demanded


He is opposed to any connexion with indi


viduals, or joint stockholders, incorporated tc
give the nation currency. These are his
cardinal points in relation to the currency


and in detail, he is willing to carry them out
and extend them, in the way and to the ex


tent, best calculated to promote the interests


of the country and to meet the wants of the
people.
