That Mr. Meade has facilitated to government more than fifty millions, in sundry contracts of provisions for the army, at a period when no one else did or could do it, and when the very existence of the government was the most precarious, is clearly demonstated by the documents of the department of finance, and by the same it is equally proved that the greatest part of the contracts were not complied with, except after great delays, and detentions, and losses in the mode of payment. From this demonstration proceeds the principle of good faith, which demands the acknowledgement of the damages which a conduct of this kind has brought upon Mr. Meade, and this has been the guide of the junta in proposing to his majesty its opinion on the two classes of reclamation brought forward by Mr. Meade. If the junta should have erred, it repeats what it stated in the commencement, that is, that in this diplomatic dispute they have only had in view the unalterable rectitude of his majesty, who may finally determine on what he may consider most just. God preserve your excellency many years. JOSE VASQUEZ BALLESTEROS, Madrid, 30th September, 1819. Tennessee Bank and Relief Law. When the following memorial, signed by general Jackson, colonel Ward, and others, of Davidson County, Ten. was presented to the house of representatives, a pretty warm debate ensued, on a motion made by Mr. Grundy, that it should be sent to the senate. Some of the members considered it as an attempt to dragoon the legislature into particular measures-others jutified the remonstrance as appertaining to the undoubted rights of the citizens who signed it. The motion to send it to the senate prevailed. To the honorable the senate and house of representatives of the state of Tennessee, now in session at Murfreesborough. presentative must be necessarily either bills of credit or specie. Further, this article of the constitution is general and explicit in the language, and will not admit of any distinction being drawn between one species of bills and another. The undersigned conceive that the last part of the 9th section of the bill, which authorizes the managers of the loan offices to effect sales and conveyances of the real estate of those who shall fail to make payment of the amount borrowed, is a palpable violation of the 6th and 8th sections of our bill of rights; the first declaring, "That the right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate;" and the second, "That no man shall be deprived of his life, liberty, or property, but by the judgment of las peers, or the law of the land." The 17th section of the bill of rights is also presumed to be conclusive upon this question; it is in the following terms: “That all courts shall be open, and every man for any injury done him in his lands, goods, person, or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law, and right and justice administered without sale, denial, or delay." In the section of the bill above referred to, the courts are completely closest against the debtor, and he is deprived of his property without due course of law, or the judgment of his peers. It is confidently believed that no preGedent can be cited from the civil code of any people, where so summary a method has ever been adopted for the recovery of debts, as is attempted to be enforced by this singular provision. The undersigned also except to the 17th section of the bill, which provides that the treasurer and managers of said loan offices, shall not make any loan but for the purpose of making payment of debts, and that they shall so order and direct that these loans shall be properly and faithfully applied. The concluding part of this section is conceived to be entirely nugatory and impracticable; and the first evidently creates an inequitable distinction between the debtor and creditor, in securing the former every advantage which can possibly arise out of the provisions of the act: It grants a preference and exclusive privilege, without regard to public services, and is clearly a departure from the 23d. article of the bill of rights, which is contained in these words, "That and monopolies are contrary to the genius of a free state, and shall not be allowed." The remonstrance of the undersigned citizens of Davidson county, convened for the purpose of taking into consideration the loan office bill now pend. The 6th section of the bill, the undersigned will ing before your honorable bodies, respectfully re-venture to assert, is still more obnoxious and alarmpresent, that, after an examination of its details, asing than those already examined.

From all these circumstances combined, the opinion is unavoidably induced upon the minds of the undersigned, that the basis of these notes is far from being solid and permanent, and such as to constitute them an equivalent for specie.

With respect to the policy of passing the bill under consideration, the undersigned believe that no one can hesitate to pronounce it ruinous of both public and private interests, who will give it a careful and impartial investigation. Although every effort seems to have been made to give the measure It has heretofore been admitted by every judia plausible and enforcing aspect, yet, upon an at- cious political economist who has devoted his attentive scrutiny of its provisions, it will be found to tention to the subject, that the large emissions of be extremely deceptious and fraught with the most paper, from the banks by which the country was destructive consequences. inundated, have been the most prominent causes of The undersigned acknowledge that a considera-those distresses of which we at present complain. ble degree of embarrassment exists amongst a por-They greatly increased the facilities of borrowing tion of our fellow citizens; but they do not believe money: gave property a fictitious value, and introthat it is generally of so oppressive a character as duced amongst us every species of extravagance to authorize this kind of interposition on the part and folly.

This mented by the emission of loan office notes, having opinion is predicated on the belief that those bills property alone to sustain their currency! It would will not possess such a solid basis as is essentially appear to the undersigned, that the poison which necessary to give them a complete and solvent cur-generated the disease, is here attempted to be adrency, and secure the valuable objects promised by its provisions. The first section of the bill declares that these notes are to be emitted on the credit and security of the borrowers and on the proceeds of the sales of the unappropriated lands of the state, which the present legislature pledge themselves to ap. ply to that purpose. To every intelligent man who has directed his attention to the operations of banking institutions, his own experience and reflection will at once convince him, that bills issued upon any other basis, save that of specie, must prove inefficient and abortive—owing to its having ministered for its removal; and that all those evils are to be perpetuated, which are represented as pressing so heavily upon the community. Neither do the undersigned believe that the establishment of loan offices will operate as a means of improving the revenue of the state; nor should it so operate, as it is pretended that the measure was dictated by imperious necessity and the object alone to be the relief of the present distresses of the people. But the undersigned have another objection to this bill, which they believe to be fatal. It is well known to every individual of the least experience and reflection, that public debts due to the state which valid objections might have been exhibited, from a large portion of its citizens are not, in the The limits of this remonstrance forbid a minute and language of the English politicians, "a national critical commentary upon all its details.

When the remonstrance was laid before the senate Mr. Huntsman moved to lay the said memorial on the table until the first day of January, 1821. On the question for laying the said memorial on the table, the yeas and nays being required, it was determined in the affirmative. Those who voted in the affirmative are, Messrs. Atkinson, Blair, Brewer, Douglass, Harris, Huntsman, Lowry, Miller, Reynolds, Wallace and Williams, 11. Those who voted in the negative are, Messrs. Bunch, Edmiston, Moore, Parish and Sandifer, 5. Mr. Huntsman then moved that the reasons of himself and Mr. Wallace for the above vote should be entered on the journals of the senate-as fol. lows: This interference is made without any prospect of change in our commercial relations; and the undersigned feel no small share of surprise that so much sympathy should be indulged for the debtor, and none for the creditor, although there may be some extreme cases that solicit relief; yet it is sug. gested as the best policy, to keep the courts of justice open and accessible to every citizen, and permit those who are involved to extricate themselves by additional industry and economy. If they are known to be honest and solvent men, by pledging their property for the debt, they will receive, in most cases, every reasonable indulgence from their creditors. The undersigned do not believe that the legislature can interfere with private contracts, and cannot exercise any power in relation to them, except in the passage of laws to enforce their execution.

The undersigned cannot but recollect, and that too with the most unfeigned regret, that one of the distinguished characters, who appears to have been actively zealous in producing the above memorial, but a few days since, at the seat of government and in the presence of some members of the legislature, in the most indecorous manner stated, that any member who voted for it would perjure himself, and that if the law did pass, twelve honest juryman upon oath would convict those who voted for the measure of perSury.
