Constitution, aud so gave itself a power to ,enlc "A
Bank. Then comes the President IN his omnipo-
tencc, and refuses TO treat Bank paper as money,
aud So changes the Constitution back again, and so
takes WAY The power TO create a Bank" This Is hIs
argument. Wen, no" II seems (and yoa have my
thanks Tor 1t, sir) the Government AGAIN treats
Bank paper, as every DO ~ else treats lt-that is, ac-
eofdiug to Mr.. Calhoun-as money, and BY conse-
queucS, the Constitution IS agMu CHANGED, and
by consequence, the power to create a bank is re
stored. This Is Mr.. Cahoun's conclusion not
