srro thai SIT is easy to conceive that great
,v;s 10 our country and to its institutions
m;sht flow FROM the concentration Of power
in the hands Of a few men, Il. Q. the dircc-
tors Of the United States Bank j Irresponsible
to the peoples" and (according to the evi-
dence before us) consequently that this Soon
centrntion oil power" ought to be lodged ia
the hands Of the President; and that there
ought to be union Of the sword and purse,
and ,has "the people ought not to expect any
fayors from the Government" -TSce the rc-
to message and the policy Of the present Adj
ministration.
Tho Wings contend that the proceeds Of
theHsales Of the public lands out to be app
portioned out among the several States, ac-
cording to the trust created ia the Govern
mens by the deeds which coded the lands w.
ing within the respective States to the Uni,
ted States, for the purpose Of paying off the
public debt then owing by the General Gov.
eminent; and that the residue should be for
the joint benefit Of each ofthe several States,
including those making the cessions. See
Mr.. Wkite's letter to the Tennessee Legis-
.lafare.
The Loco Focos maintain that this distri-
butioa oueht NJ q g. ln6de; and Consequent
ly, that it would weaken the Executive pat
ronagc, and thereby snstch a portion Of the
despotic power from the hands Of the Presi-
dent, by giving to the several States the
money which the General Government has
received on trust for them, and, in good faith,
is bound topay over when the ends for which
the trusts were created have been attained !.
--(See the Presidents reto Of the Bill to
make such distribuion.1
The Wings believe that the exercise Of
the refo power should be limited to those
cases when the law would be demonstrations
al, or when the bill, should it become law,
would be an encroachmenr on the rights OF
the States and individuals, or in those which
involve deep interests, when there has been
ahasfy or inconsiderate action on the part of
Congress. -[See Gen. Hasrison's letter to
