STATEMENT.

/ called to see the President on official business
on the morning Monday 18th Augusf) before the
first Veto Message was sent in. 1 found him read
ing the Message TO the Secretary of the Treasury.
He did me the honor to read tho material passages
to me. Upoa reading that part oft which treats
Of the superior impoI lance and value OF the business
done by the late Bank Of the United States, in fur
nishing exchanges between the different States and
section, OF the Union, WIS strongly impressed
with the idea that he meant to intimate tina. he
would have no objection a bank which should be
restricted to dealing in exchanges that interrupt
ed him in the reading and asked II | was TO under
stand, by what he had just tesd, thot he pre-.
pared give his To bank in the District of
Columbia, with offices or agencies in the States,
having the privilege, without the assent, to deal in
exchanges between them, and in foreign bills. He
promptly replied that he thought experience bad
shown the necessity of such power in the Govern
ment. | could not restrain the immediate express
SION of my qualification upon hearing this avo~si.
| said To the President once, that what | had
fea;, would lead TO fatal dssensons among our
fiiend., now regarded as rather fortunate than
otherwise that h, veto of the bill then before HIM
would lead to the adoption of much better one.
also congratulated him upon the happy circumstance
OF The delay which had taken place in sending in
his Veto Message. The heat and violence which
might have been expected II the Veto had been sent
Immediately upon the passage OF tho bill, would
