-to give my reasons And I would submit to the Senate, whether it can be
believed that any State would be likely to sit quietly
down under such a state of thin.,:,
? In a great measure
of public interest their patriotism may be stmcesefully
appealed to, but to infer their assent from circumstances
at war with such inference, I cannot but regard as cal-
culated to excite a feeling at fatal enmity with the peace
end harmony of-the country. I must, therefore, regard
this clause as asserting the power to be in Congress to
establish offices of discount in a State, not only without
its assent, but against its dissent ; and so regarding it I
cannot sanction it.
On general principles, the right in Congress to pre-
scribe terms to any State implies a superiority of power
' and control, deprives the transaction of all pretence to
compact between them, and terminates, as we have
seen, in the total abrogation m freedom of action on the
part of the States. But further, the State may express,
I cCter the most solemn form of legislation, its diseent,
which may from time to time thereafter be repeated,. in
\
full view of its own interest, which can never be sepa-,
rated from the wise and beneficent operation of this Go-
vernment ; and yet Congress may, by virtue of the last
proviso, overrule its law, and upon grounds which to
such State will appear to rest on a constructive neces-
sity and pronriety, and nothing more.
I inl and the Bill as asserting for Congress the right
to incorporate a United States Bank, with power and
right to establish offices of discount and deposit in the
several States of this Union, with or without their con-
sent. a principle to which I have already heretofore been
op nosed, and which Cllll never obtain my sanction. And
waiving ail other considerations growing out of its other
---zions, I return it to the House in whiche it orini-
•"ee my objections to its approVal.
