Mr.. EIvEs or ylNcINIA AND TINE NATIONAL
INTELl.IGENcER.
Mr.. Rives, when discussing the question OF authorI-
tative opinion, regard 10 the settlement OF the con-
sttutional power Of Congress TO establish National
Bank, adverted to the following editorial remark of
mornings National lntelligencer
ave have stated fact, on authority, upon which
Madisons signature Of the Bank bill Of lSl6 was
denned in conversation in his presence, MIR. Jefferson,
with great emphasis, vndicated Mr.. Madlson aud SAID
that the General Government must hare Bank SO lang
the States suffered 10 hare them, for that The
General G0rernmem could not get along acifhout
ave are enabled to present evidence Of a ma
urc TO satisfy every reasonable mind that Mr. Jefer
did, three years at least, before Mr. Madison sig
nature Of the Bank bill, declare the consttuonalty
Of Bank Of the United States 10 be seuied question,
by adjudication Of Congress, the judiciary, and the
people, ,rhich he ceiling 10 yeidhiS opinions
on Mc subject.
Mr. Rlves then read passage from letter Of Mr.
Jefferson 10 Mr.. Eppes, written three years subse
quently to the passage of the Bank, which 1t is here
pretended he declared his willingness 10 support in
which he declares his own unchanged conviction OF tie
unconsllutionalty Of such institutions and points to
the very decision of Congress in ISL from which It
is pretended he would have dsscned settling the
question against the power forever. We copy the pas
sage read by Mr. Rves to the Senate in his speech To-
day:
Extract from letter from Mr. Mr Eppes dated,
Monticello, Nuy. 6, 1913.
"Aler the solemn decision of Congress against the
renewal Of the charter of the Bank of the IT, 81 and
The grounds Of that decision, (the want of constitutional
power had imagined that question at rest, and that
no more application would be made TO them for the in
corporation Of banks. The opposition on that ground
to its first establishment, the small majority by which
it overborne, and the practised for obtaining

sacred principles of submission TO majority, suffered
the law to flow through lis term without obstruction.
During this the nation had time 10 consider the constr
uona question, and when the renewal was proposed,
they condemned it, not by their representatives in Con-
gress only, but by express instructions from different
organs of their viii. Here then we might stop and
consider the memorial as answered But setting au-
thority apart, We will examine whether the Legisla-
ture ought 10 comply with it even if they had the pow

TEN.
quoted by the Inelligencer that, in 1916, after Mr.
Madison signed the Bank charter, Mr. Jefferson resign
ed his opposition TO National Bank In looking, after
our return from the Senate, over his letters, published
by his grandson, found one TO John Taylor oil Caro-.
line in 1916 In this letter to John Taylor OF Caro-
line dated May 90 1916 several months subsequent to
the approval by Mr.. Madison Of the Bank charter he
uses the following language:
"And sincerely believe with you that banking es-
Establishments are dangerous than standing armies
and that the principle Of spending money to be paid BY
posterity under the of funding, is but swndling
futurity on a large scale"
Having now refuted the statement OF the lntcligen-
Ger respecting Mr. Jeersons opinion on the subject OF
the Bank we subjon, in conclusion, few sentences
from letter 10 MT lelpeI udleu loH 1uhe, iSioi WI
the subject Of The misrepresentation OF his sentiments
by The Federal prints. We quote them as strictly ap-
plicabe TO the misrepresentation OF Mr. Jetter.
sons sentiments by the National lntelgencer, and
we adopt Mr. Jefferson marks on this similar occa-
SION to save ourselves the trouble of making any.
THE Federal misrepresentation OF my sentiments,
which occasioned my former letter to you, was gross
enourh but that and all the others are exceeded by The
impudence and fa!sehood Of the printed extract you
sent me from Ralphs paper. The word
Federal or IFS synonyme ic may, therefore, be written
