llKMAUKS OK MU. MARSHALL,
O.N Till ‘dlhli OF KiUlU A.lV,
Upon the motion of.Mr. I’hoffit to reconsider the vote
on the passage of the Ituokropt Low.
' The question being upon the motion strove Minted, and
Mr. Ci sMiNu, Mr Kis-ji MtLN,and Mr. 1*. Davis ha
ving sueeeh.sively addressed the House, Mr. MaKsiiai.l
was recognised by the Speaker as entitled to the llnor.
Mr. MAKStl \ 1.1. observed that it would not he pre
sumed to lie out ol order to pay a little intention for a
tew moments to the subject of the bankrupt law, the abo
lit ion of which it was now moved to reconsider.
[Mt.Thompson,! t Indians, here rose and asked Mr.
M. to yield him the (1 *or lor the purpose of explanation ;
but Mr M . declined ]
| touching the expediency of the bankrupt law which
■ was passed at tin* extra session, Mr. M. hud dlllered in
opinion from his political associates: and he had voted to
| repeal the law at the regular session which followed
I He hoped it would Is* repealed. Ho had always tell
j assured that it could not remain any length of time upon
j the statute bool,, hut must shortly be repealed; but he had
1 not hitherto staled his objection to the law. This he
I would now endeavor to do in a very few words.
The Constitution gave to the Federal Government
! the power lo puss uniform laws on tho subject ut bunk
ruptov, and lie bail been of opinion, utnl skill was. that
that power ought to hr excree.i.d. Ho was in Uvor ol
I having a untl'oim brnnlirupt law, as founded on any prill
ciples l»e hail ever heard advocated on that aulijeet up to
i iIih time of passing tl.e hill of tho extia cession,
i He had ever considered a bankrupt law as a matter ol
commercial rcgulatin; and lie referred it to that class
ol pnwfis which authorized Congress to regulate euin
inerce. lie still understood the wold “bankrupt” to
have a precis- legal technical meaning, which was do
fined in tlu* Kngltah law at the tune when the cmislitu
lion was adopted, lie held the powit, indeeJ, to lie an
exception, a departure from the grnenl psnma ol our
system of Government. The Constitution might be
I considered in two different aspects, either as distributing
I power bet we* n the General and the Slate Governments,
or between the several department* of'the General t«ov
ernmerit itself. Now, m this distribution the whole
subject of descents and of contrasts was left Willi tin
Slates. The bankrupt law,as it now txinud, covered
all cases, and w as not confined lo any particular class;
with an except,on, however, as lo corporations. I uder
the power conferred on Congress by the Constitution, it
had hern declared that all persons who were in dub!,
with assets or w ithout, and without consent of their
creditors, might, with a simple notice, declare them
selves released from all their contracts.
Ill* would here state, in Ins place, that such a law as
ihts was in contradiction ot all the principle* ot human
right, and all just notion* ol the powers ot this or an)
uthcr Government. There w« re principle* and rights
n men which preceded all political institutions, and
Government w ns established not to abolish or destroy,
hut to confirm and to render them tiioru secure. In Iho
nature of things, in a commercial countrv like this, a
cast amount of properly of men must consist hi contract*;
»nd their right to the lulfilineut ot these contracts was as
perfect as their right bad been to tin* things in exchange
for whir h the euiitrarls had been entered into. It liu had
parted with Ins burse and taken a man’s note lor the
price, he had always supposed that he had as valid a
right to the note as lie had hail to his horse, and In: never
had imagined that the Government could lake Iron him
he note because the drawer was unable to pay. .Mr.
M. repeated that he thought the power to pa** uuitoim
bws of bankruptcy belonged to the class ol commercial
{lowers conferred on Cugres* by the C’oiihIiiuUou, and
that such a law was made for the benefit ot trade, liy
*i hrankrupt, the law understood a debtor who had done
some act going to defraud his creditors, and that Ins
creditors w ere entitled to have a voice before they were
deprived of their right to the coil tract* ot the debtor.
The law was a very strange uuo. The principal in a
debt was released by it, while the securities remained
hound. Its provisions contradicted all that he had ever
learned of law. The idea that corporations w ere higher
in their dignity and their rights than individuals was to
him a strange one. It was said that corporation* were
the creatures of State law, and a* such were absolved
from the power of the General Government; hut tor him
self it had ever been Ins eonvicti* n that a man, the im
mediate creature of God’* own hand, was to iho lull
as important a being in God's w orld’aa the creature ol any
State Legislature on earth could he. A statute like tin*
contradicted, he repeated it, all ol law that Mr. M. hud i
ever learned As to the Wien suggested by the gentleman
from New York. (Mr. liutNutn.) .Mr. Al. had never
known so formidable a battery against the law as that
gentleman had opened in favor of its continuance. Thu |
gentleman's premises wi re indisputable, tor he said that
it the law was n<»w rejienh d, it would remain a* a stum
upon the statute hook, 'i he gentleman had treated tl a*
a mere abolition ol debt; and such a one a* was unmatch
ed in history. save by the institution ol the Jewish jubi
lee. and even that had the advantage of it in this, that
as it recurred at regular periods, once in fifty years,
everv body knew beforehand the time when the release
would take place; but tins latent |>ower ol the General
Government to sponge at pleasure all the c« n tract a in the
country, might awake at any moment, and no man
would probably know at what unlooked lor hour it migdit be
exerted. And would the repeal of the law wipe out the
stain, while its effect in abolishing contract* remained in
full effect? It would not. In circumstances wf great dif
ficulty, such as the passage of the law had created, the
heat thin" the House could do was to alsdish the statute
forthwith. I le was afraid the nation would never Gr
eet it: he apprehended that the Democratic party in the
country would keep its ghost in the eye of the nation tor
many a long day, to the annoyan r ol their Whig adver
saries. They would fell the story over and ovt r again,
that the Whig party the first Moment after their victory,
had exerted their power to •■nonge the debts ol their par
lisaus, ami to make pul'lnal capital by legislative pr.dh
gaey. If so, llio act would haveamost unfurl iiuaio re
suit. Hut, ill truth, the Whig parly deserve no such
reproach. This law had been pending lor years rind
years before the triumph ot 1840; the idea had been
broached far ..arly to have it considered as a measure
of the S'11 Congress. Hut, whatever might have been
the motives which led to its passage, the law itself was,
m all Us features, fatal to creditors. Some gen.lemon, in
deed, advocated the measure lor that very reason, because
they held that it was expedient that erislil should ho
destroyed in order to keep the country from getting into
debt any more. ijuI the time oid not allow ol Air. Al.’s
going into this any further ai this moment, lie hail
thus briefly slated his reasons for being opposed in the
bill; hul, apart from them all, there was a reison that
was potential with hiui: Kentucky was against the law.
and her voice was potential with him.
lie would now submit a remark or two on annul other
topics which had been touched on in the coursu of the
present debate.
The gentleman from Virgiuih (Mr. Wish) bod been
I interrupted in the midst of his speech by the. expiration
of his allotted hour, just ul that point where he had been
! about to enter upon the history of the disease of
; which the Whig party had died. The gentleman
' seemed in have Imm-ii well acquainted with the laic pa
I lienl during his life, and Ins relations had been such to
the doctors m attendance, and to w huso disagreements
lie attributed the patient's death, that of all living, lie
was flip lies' qualified to let the House into the true se
■ crct nf the commencement am) progress of the disease.
: Mr. M. said that he meant, w hen he had leisure, (and
; he was likely sunn to have a great deal of leisure.) to
write the history of the twenty seventh Congriss; and
! he should I c greatly obliged to the honorable gentleman
i from Virginia if lie Would furnish him with llu.se faeis
| snd anecdotes in relation to that history of which the
world was not in possesion; and were there tiinehewould
now yield the gentleman the balance of the hour for that
purpose.

which was very important to us as American citizi ns.

And t!. . brought him to n principle at last. | A

Ins (. uhiiiet with having no luilucucc lie disclaimed

without injury to tin national history, yet u might per'

would say. dial the principle contended for by the Ad ,
ministration was the very worst and most iiiiticiitiablc, !
and the most at war with all that hud been taught by
Hie leaders ol that AJuiiuiadratiou that could potfHlOlv be.
It b.d, be understood, been said that Mr. M. bad slept
too lung iijh.n Mr. W elmter’sspeeches; that he had slept
•Mhjii them instead ol reading ami studying them, Mr.
M. would certainly be the last man to garble* the pro
ductions o! auv mun, or to inisrepreaeiil Ins meaning hy
disjointed exuaets Irom his language*. It w as not in dis j
jointed |Mirlioii* that lie had Studied Mr. Webster’a
writings; he had hot studied them hy Miiiglcsonlctices;lie
had read iheinssa whole;; and the Ink ik w as a whole. He
had imbibed Irom it not individual phruses or parugrap! - 1
eloquent as tin y were*, but the informing spirit of Ins,
philosophy. He hud endeavored to penetrate the prnu-i
plea which his great mind had decided ; the? great and I

prise riled to him.
W hen challenged to present a sentence from under the
hand ol ' r. W eimter w inch went against the project ol
the Kxclu.pier, as avowed hy liimsoll, Mr. M. had ol
fared lo pledge Ins reputation (and he knew that was hut
a small pledge, hut u was nearly all he had) that tin*
challenger could not find a speech or an argument uf
Mr. W cinder'*, i*« which the ('onstitui on or |>oliey ol
the T nited Stales was touched upon, in which there
could not be found jrrinciplc* which went coru|detely to
overthrow the new currency scheuus which he had
stamped with his own great name.
| Mr Ci siiiNf, hen* rose und wished liberty to present
a passage Irom Mr. Webster.
Hut Mr. Vi ahmiiai.i. refused to yield him the floor.—
I In said (he gentleman had refused lh« floor toothers for
explanation, and he must now submit tu the same rule
lor himself. J
Mr. W ebster was a statesman. He was not in the
habit of making speeches to suit a present party pur|M»se.
lift had fixed scientific principles in relation to govern
ment, and that peculiar form of Government which a
lonft was adapted to our people and to our peculiar condi
tion: from these principles he forever reasoned. Alter
the fashion ol men who weie real philosophers, he al
ways applied Ins general principles to any particular
measure w Inch happened to he brought before him.—
Hence we found in all the works of his pen those mighty
universal truths for which he had uniformly contended
until noiV.
Mr. M. might possibly attach an importance to it hr
yond what n merited, but to Mr.M. it appeared that Air
W ebster’s Faueuil Hall speech, containing the open a
vowul that the Fxchequer scheme was his, constituted
one uf the most important political movements of the day
The leal tires of that scheme were two. First, it eon
lained the plan of a Government hank; and, second, it
declared that the powers conferred ' pwn that hank hy A
mcrienn law were dej»endent up u State legislation. And
this Mr. M. averred to beuvt rse nut only to the Con
Stitution, hut, in a peculiar manner, to the cum ructions
w him Mr. Webster himself had ever given to that sa
cred instrument.
Here Mr. M. quoted from the Constitution the follow
mg pn usage:
"ThisConstilutinn, arid the laws of the United Slates
which &hall bn made in pursuance thrretif, and all trra
ties niadr, or which shall he made, under the authority i
of the United States, shall lie the supreme law ol the
land; and iho judges in every Slate shall be bound there
by, tiny thing in the Constitution or laws of any State to
the contrary notwithstanding.”
This was the Constitution ; now for the Exchequer
hill;
"That no ngrnrr '"'n'llishcd in any State, tinder the
provisions of tin* set, shall, contrary toany law which
such Slate mav mart, receive snv other depositee than
tlc-so of.the United StsV** or niahe or eell “ af.s.
jnr purchusc bills, other than aut'li a* shall lur necessary
in the culleriiuii, transfer, unci dishur»4uut lit ul the pub
In* turn la.”
Hire was the law- a law of Conyroaa drawn by the
hand ul Daniel \\ eosu r, creating an iiistimtlun possess
my ihe most important political [lowers cummiMcd to
CunyreMs for the discharge of its duties both to the
taovermuent and to tin* Hoopla, and in n he declared that
this iiiatitutiuii was tu exercise these power* or not to
eic rciwi them, aecurdiny tu the periniHst"ii ul State
legislation. Com para the two tinny* ; then* was the
Constitution ut the I mud States, and there was Mr
Wehstei’* bill.
Hlirr# was, in one of the classes of tins bill, a power
yiven to tie* Gveliecpier Hoard to transfer the public lunds
lor public* uses, and suoihur to provide exeltnuycs for tlie
benefit ut tlie |nro|de ul the country: one ul these* powers
was made dependent upon Stale legislation, while the
oilier via* not. On what did that desliuelioii proceed/
l hey all knew wliul were Mi I yiwr’s nienw on the mul
ler. ibat a nutioiial bank was nut absolutely necessary to
the Government for the disoliafye ol Hu duties and the
due exercise ol the constitutional |xi\vers conferred upon
it; ami tins dilHeulty was avoided by requiring n concur*
reuee of Sute legislation with that ol the General Gov
ernment. I be elleel ol this was to briny a |»nwi*r into
rxiatruee which was totally unknown to the Conslitu
lion, via. the power, by coiieurrsnee of the* two, to du
any tinny whatever that the Government should choose
*" do. V powir uioic laltl to all that frcemni held'
dear could not have hseu devised by tin* wit ul mun.
In the District ul Columbia ihe Gouenil Government
was absoltiie. (for the Hreanlent considered exelusivn '
powci us iinliiinied power;) and, according lo the Kxche
qm r lull, IIii.h I • >v eminent could do tin same tinny w itb
iii a Null* which il could do m this District, provided
only the Stun* should consent lu it! Su that llie C»ov
ernmuni might in this way annihilate any feature of tl»r
<'onstitutioii altogether. It was to a doctrine lilu* tins
that Daniel \\ ebsier had lent Ills name.
Now, as to a Government Hunk, Mr. M. might quote
any part ol Mr. \\ eb'dn’n speeches in either volume,
and almost nt any page you chanced looped to, (and '.r
M had traced them carefully throughout,) and you
still find the humic gciierul principles* without a single
departure, like a rich golden tinsel, pervading the whole
■d Ion magnificent production*.
Here Air. M. quoted the following passage;
"i here was yet one other provisioned Hie hill, which
was regarded as unnecessary and objectionable. That
waa the power reserved io the Governunsit ol appoint
mg live ol the directors. NN n had no evprrience id our
1 w ii ol tin* effort of such Government inierlerunce in the
Jireclion ol the bank, and mother countries it had been
looml that hiicIi complexion between Government nnd
mnking insiitiilions produced nothing but evil. '1 in*
•unlit id banks lias generally been very much in prupor
don tw their indepiindencu ol G iveriimeiil control. \\ hile
iciing on true commercial principles, they urn useful
loth lo Government mid people, and the history of the
principal moneyed institution* ul r.urop* lias demount ra
ini that their efficiency ami stability consist very mucfi
in then I teed am Irwin nil subjection lo Siuiu inleiest ami
Stair nervssilies. The real sulely to Ibo public lieum
the icsiiamis and I tain 111 irn imposed by law; and in the
iiiimichI which ibe prnpnelors ihemstdve* have m u jii
diciou* management ol llm nil ms ol llm corporation.”
W lieu (•euernl Jackson bad vetoed the charier ol the
National Hank, be bad lobl (Jui.grees tbai, if they bad
consulted bun, be could have given them the plan of a
bank which would answer every end, ami not contradict
the Ci.iiKtUnliou. Hear Air Webster ip/iin:
“ l lie Coin;Huiioii gives Congo..* a right to lay du
ties of imposts, ami it prohibit* llm exercise of tiny such
[lower by the States. Now, it so happi im thul the Na
ilonaI 'I reusury is full slid llm Suite 'treasuries are lar

ceived by the Stales. Hut will any man say that Con
gres*i*uuld now autboriv.T the Slate* to lay and collect
imposts ondei any restriction* of limitations whatever/
No one will preituid il. That would be ui mukou new
[Uilitioii of'power between tills t«uveriiiiu ni ami llm
Stale lioveinmeiil*. Mr. Madison bus very eoirnefy
observed, that llm asHenl ol llm Slate* cannot cooler a
new power un ( oiigiess, except in those eases espe. iul!y
provided m ibr ( ousiiiutioii. This is very true, ami n
s e t .ad , true that the Stales cannot ubtim a new pow
• i. bv the consent of Congress, against the prohibition of
hi • 'institution, except in those cases which are ex
p.csaiy so provided for in the Constitution 11 self. These
reasons, sir lead me to think that, if, lor pur [loses cun
iieeted with the beneficial udmiuistration ol llm (loveni
meet, wedenn it imeossufy to eoiilmue tbits cur|Kjraiion,
we me mil at litn riy to repeal any protection or any mi
mmiiiy with winch the Constitution surrounds it. We
cannot give to a law of the Coned States less than it*
constitutional effect. The constitution say* that every
such law, pasted in pursuance of the Constitution, shall
be parmamouut to any State law. We cannot enact that
it shall not be sc; lur that would be lo repeal, So tar, the
( omditutioii.”
“Kvery bank must have Home stockholders, unless it Im
such a bank a* tin President has recommended, and in
regard to w hich be seems not likely lo find much con
rurreiioe of other men’s opinions; and if the stockholders
whoever they may he,conduct llm nllair* id the bank
prudently, llm < xpeetutioii is always ol course that they
w,II make it prditatdn to tbemscjvis as wi ll a* uselul

“Sir, toe object mined at by such institution* i* to con
nect the public safely Mini convenience unh private in
tercut*. Il has been lound by experience tliul banks ait*
safest under private management,and th at (ioVcrsinciil
■banks are among the nmsl daugeiuus of all inventions.—
Now,sir, the whole dull uf tlm inetsige is lo reverse
the setih d judgment of all tlm civile/,id world, audio
set up (iuvcniiiuut banks, independent of private interest
or private control.”
Air. Ai. said be bad marked above forty passages* in
thebfi volumes touching the question of Stale puwi i«.—
lie would ipmle but ono or tw j, in order to show what
those great doctrines on ibr.il Biibjsct were which bad
ueen taught bin. by bis master.
On the very question ol llie necessity of the assent of
of tlm State UegiglalunH to the location of a branch ul
tin' l nited Sian * bank wilinn a Stale, .Mr. Webster iiad
made a most able argument to show, that, according lu
tlm Uoiisliiution, Ibe laws of Congress wrrn paramount,
and that the States could not prevent their being so
w ithout violating the Const ilUtlon. And il they did, the
effect would necessarily be to throw llm States into par
Hal coiitcderjcuand evcutuully to ovcrtbloW’ the pow
ers of the nation.
In another spi ech the game man declared tlmt it was ,
llio duly ul lInr (ii nerul Governi. em, tu provide a cur
reney nut alulie lor ilm Government but also tu turinsl.
a iiaiiunat iiinuimu ul value lor circulation aiming the
I’enple. Y' l now lie I'anie to Congress and utlerrd ilieni
llnx priijeel ul an Kxchcipier llnurd! Mr. M. said there
was a whole volume ol principles involved in such a
Melinite; and that il Congress ever lei it in, they would
by that act determine tins Conlcdcracy. All Iho Vir
ginia doctrines of Siale rights and all the maddest pust
lions id nul iticalinn itself were a had to thin.
Il Seemed that since Mr. Wchster had been the chief i
arm of the Administration lie must have learned new
ideas entirely. Only ihiukofii! That Daniel V\ ebslor ,
should claim such |mwors as these (or lilts Federal Gov- ■
ernmenl! Suppose the same uriiu'lples should oe applied;
tn any oilier ol the i»i«ers conferred upon Congress by j
the Constitution. Suppise the same thing claimed in i
relation to the larilV, for example. Once incorporate this !
principle of Stale assent, and you denationalized every
thing, llow would it look to see Congress etuai lishing
certain post offices and |mst roads, provided the assent
of the Slates In which they were to he locate ] should
Ii st he had to receive I hem? Yet the reasons would be
•;.e same for one ns fur the other. No. The United
■ lairs were one as to the genera! powers of the Guvern
