——A Y urargument mighthivr beenspe
cions enough, when the national bank was
, firs' set up —hut there are now state banks
j enough, to expl ale it. Let the state Bank*
take the place of your national institution.
Le them receive, un.ipiv a wav the money

tiint creditors, is it not easy for the state
banks to make proper arrangements with
each other—to make the remittances in their
own or in each other’s paper? This plan ,
is at least conven:enr enough f >r use—at the
same time it protects us from the od'um of

I trv
I B. But where is v^ur objection to the
■Buik — V Ttie one which ! h ive just men.
(tinned —it is in the very teeth -it' vour C*m~
| stituMon. T-y it by the two Tests, which
have Been laid down for this pmp'se. I', a
, Bank within anv of these powers, v.iichare
expressed in the Constitution? No. Is it
then an “ incident to an expressed power
ruvl necrsxary to its execution ?” It is not.
Whence then. Sir, do you derive this pow
er?
U Pshaw ! The question of Constitution
. ality is set at rest lor ever.-- V How so ?
B. All the departments >1 u .r government
I have sanctioned the bank—lie president,
• both houses of Con(5 'ess, and the Courts have
i recogo aed it. And Congress iiave not only
done s , bv the fi st act which instituted it,
but hv supple men* ary acts, such as that for
> punishing the counterfeiting of its notes. A
Why. as to these supple ments, they do not
I touch the main principle.-Many of iho.se
who voted agiinst the Charter, voted for
I them as appe irs hv the Congressio.i ,1 J ,ur
j n.il-'.it 1 why ? because they were miwiL
i ling to affect the validity of a C'bar er once
j r*val>V:sUet\, and they were willing to give
, full effect to tiie contract. But let its even
admit, that they were wrong in this opinion,
are their inisuk-., Sir. to change the spirit
> j and interpolation of nur great constitutional
j charter ? Your doctrine amounts to this : that
precedents are superior to principles ; that
our consti u iun may be overset by encroach
moots; that which has been done once may be
done again, anti ind ed is the very reason
why it may be repeated; and -hat all that
is necessary to do away the charter of our
rights, is for some miserable lacdon to mount
to the head of alfurs, who will fir-t rumple >n
our liberties and then plead their own u,ur.
pacinus as pretederi’s lor their constitution
aiicy.—I; every step, that is taken, is proper,
for no other reason than because it is on re ’
c ird. why, there is at once an end to the sub
ject and to tiie constitution — \iien and
Sedi'ion laws are proper and consti'utional,
because hey have received the sea! of all
the dtpar ments—because a Chase n .s set
on the i» r ch ot justice, and a Callender has
been in jail.
B. With yon, then, the first question is
not, what is -xpedie.it, but whit is consti..
tu.mnal ? — A Y s, sir, and i .mis be so with
every republican. Before you do any thing,
sh nv me that you have a right to do it.—1
Lo.k, sir, at (iie consequences If you raise
y <ur bank upon the ruins of tiie ennstituti..
on, where is he barrier between the fed el
r il ami the s ate governments? If the re
publicans snbscr.be to tiie precedent
set them by the federalists, the precedent
will not be confined to a Bank, for to what
may it not ex end? If you let in a na'ion
ul Bank, what national institution may you
