-Nason.-If you favor the doctrine of implication in
order to justify the establishment of National Bank,
with what consistency and proprety yon resist the
doctrine of implied powers when urge by the Abolition
lists and others'
.MDnning.-My dear sir, consistency is level which,
have often admired, but possessed
While | think Congress has the constitutional au-
thority to establish Bank, have never given this
subject full examination, and notwithstanding know
you are opposed TO the National Bank, | wish you
would give ME your opinions upon the constitutional
question.
.hason.-The subject has been SO often and so tho
roughly discussed by eminent statesmen, that /
cannot hope TO change your sentiments; yet, as you
ask for my opinions, humble as am will not with
hold them. At this time, my engagements will not
allow % 60 into full discussion, and hence shall
call your attention TO only OF the reasons against
the constitutional authority to incorporate Bank.
One Of the leading arguments used by the friends Of
Bank founded the Sovereignty of the powers Of
Congress The Federal Government is said to be so.
rereign to all the objects for chich that Government
tcaS instituted. sovereign power Includes by force
of the term, right TO all the means applicable TO the
attainment of the ends for which that power is given;
and therefore Congress may, in virtue of their sove-
reign power create interpretations for attaining the
ends or objects Of those powers.
This argument begs the question. The fact of So
veregnty is assumed to prove that sovereignty or in
other words, the proposition, that the Government IS
sovereign is assumed TO prove that it possesses the at
tributes of sovereignty. The acts of Congress, it is
said, declared BY The Constitution, to be the su-
preme law of the land" and the power which can
make the supreme law Of The land is necessarily
sovereign power. But deny that this is correct
definition of sovereignty. The power delegated to
government is but the reflection Of sovereignty, and
the very idea of delegated power implies superiority
in those deegating it. The Federal Government
delegated and limited trust it does not possess sove.
regnty, which that power which governs in the last
resort that which has the acknowledged right to alter
or abrogate existing form of government and esla-
blish another of such character the people may deem
necessary Sovereignty recognises earthly superior
In our country, it is original in the people, who 10 es
ablishing the Federal Government did not divest them
selves of particle The idea of sovereignty imports
that you may exercise power ,chen you will, and ho~
you will it includes right to any means, and all the

All the powers Of Congress can be carried INTO exc

cessary and proper and therefore unauthorized ny this
clause, which has been strong relied upon oy those
friendly to bank
Sir. the arguments against the consttutionality and
pocy of National Bank would fill n volume, and as
entertain very little hope of changing your views on
the subject, need not tax your courtesy any ia1lher
upon constitutional points. The friends oil BANK
seem to consider the constitutional question as res d-
iudiraa thing settled beyond controversy OF aouD'
in favor of the Bank In support of this OPINION tney
refer to the fact that we have hao Two paAs
argument drawn from this fact may be met by the ae'
that Congress the Executive and the People, permit
ted both Banks to expire, and the omission 10 rene"
them implies as much as the two acts OF incorporation
But we are reminded of the omission OF Congress 10
neal the charters and the acquesccnce OF the people Tor
many years An act Incorporating Bank not an oro'
narylaw prescribing a rule OF conduct lot the
Of the people of the U S., law liable TO be
repealed at any time but it usually considered law
in the nature of contract between the Government
and certain individuals who are stockholders. The
frat Bank was established for twenty years, and the
last Bank for similar period The congress whIch
established each Bank had the right 10 judge Of
the consttutonaty OF the law, as every successive
Congress- which felt bound TO respect the Bank char
ter as contract which ought to be executed in good
faith. The Congress- as party to these contracts,
fell bound not to violate the obligations incurred be-
half of the Federal Government. The national faith
was believed to be pledged in the acts incorporating
both Banks.
The charters of both banks have expired by their own

IMPORTANT CORRECTION.

In our account last week fthe Liberty con-
vention, we find We probably fell into some
serious errors: We were not present, but were
informed. as we supposed from source upon
which reliance might be placed. that those who
were in attendance, with few exceptions, were
wings, and upon inqniring of gentleman pre-
sent who should have known, we were likewise
informed that all the candidates selected for
senators were genuine wings. But upon further
information, we learn that the convention con-
tanned nearly an equal number of loco focos.

been with the whig party-about Is or 20 in

separate the proceeds Of the public lands from
the general revenue. The compromise, IN
fact, had relation to the existing state OF things
and must be controlled by it. The Withdrawn
of the proceeds of the public lands from 'he
current revenue is to be taken as condition Oh
the compromise.
Second, That the article mentioned In the
9Th section should remain free OF duty.
Third. That there should be a discrlmina-
,;on in favor of protected articles within the
maximum duty of 20 per cent.
Fourth. That The duty should be laid on the
home valuation. Much would depend on the
principle upon which the home valuation was
estimated. He would not enter upon tina:
question now, further than to say that he con-
sidered 20 per cent. on the home valuation
equal 10 80 per cent. on the foreign valuation.
If he was correct in this, the present bill would
raise not far from 80 millions.
He desired, whenever the tariff was revised.

at auction TO jobbers, who impose them on the

if not for the fluctuations orcaisoned by those
auction sales but against these they cannot
stand. They not Only affected Cur manufac'

foreigners. Our revenues were now at the
hazard of their custom house oaths. He said
he believed duty of twenty per cent. on these
auction sales, if it could be executed, would
afford more protection Than all the provisions
of this bill. But he was aware that it could be
too easily evaded to be Of any value. Ii could
not be executed.

27TH CONGRESS,--lst Session
August, 80.
FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
ACTION IN CONGRESS.

The news of The action of Congress on the
very important and highly interesting measures
which have already passed, or are certainly
about passing diffuses every where general
Joy, In the pleasing consequences of which at
least even the opponents of the Administration
partake.
We are enabled, to our great delight, to con-
tinue the annunciation of glad tidings to the
People. The LAND DISTRIBUTION AND GEN
ERAL PRESCRIPTION BILL yesterday passed the
Senate, by % votes to %. 1t had, as the rea-
der knows, previously passed the House of
Representatives but having been amended in
the Senate, (by provision to suspend its ope-
ration when duties are laid on importations
beyond 20 per cent. on their value i; has yet
to 90 back to the House for its action upon
that amendment.
Respecting the passage of the Land bill we
have but one regret, and that is that Mr.. PRES
TON could not, in view of the opinion of his
own State on the subject, vote in favor oft.
We regret it, because his vote would have ad-
ded so much weight to the preponderance in
its favor. Every other Wing voted in favor
of the bill, which is therefore emphatically a
Wing measure.
After Mr.. Benton had ended his speech
(Which he did, by the way, with solemn ap-
peal to President Tyler to veto the billy Mr..
Smith of Indiana, chairman of the Commit
tee on Public Lands) who has indefatigably
watched Il cared for the bill. during its whole
progress, waived his right ofrepy, from his
anxious and laudable desire to terminate the
debate and come to final vote upon the bill.
Thus the debate was happily closed.
The House OF REPRESENTATIVES, still goes
ahead,with good will and unprecede nted vigor
of purpose. The bill approprating money for
the relief of the Posi- OFFICE DErARTMENT
was yesterday finally passed, and sent to the
Senate for concurrence, together with two
other bills.
There are only three or four bills, and those
of subordinate importance, now to be acted
upon by the House of Representatives.
The Postmaster GENERAL, who seems to
have been selected as the target for arrows
shot from the longest bows of the Opposition
organs, has reason to be abundantly gratifed
with the vote in the House of Representatives
yesterday upon the bill making an appropria-
ton to relieve that Department from the
disgraceful condition in which it was left by
the late Administration. One hundred and
twenty seven votes to forty eight is majority
sufficient to console him for volumes of vulgar
abuse.

he would otherwise reject, it is species of
treachcry, which 10 the ordinary concerns of
life would fall little short Of crimlnality. We
learn that the old office ofthe defunct FreePress
has recently been employed in this contempt
bic business. Three different kinds OF tickets
for the next election have been struck OIL there,
which nave been sent into various sections OF
the county. OF the first one, containing the
names Of the nominees for senators of the Lib
eriy convention, Messrs. Wooster, Langdon
and Grandy, we have no reason 10 complain.
The second containing the names of Titus
Hutchinson for Governor, and E. d. Barber
substituted for Alva Sabn fol Lieut.. Governor.
we deem highly suspicious in its object. The
third, placing the name Of Solomon JeceH at
the head of the Liberty ticket, we regard as
mean attempt 10 palm him off upon voters, who
| would not otherwise sustain him. We have
been assured by one of the committee of the
Liberty convention who speaks for himself and
his associates, that no authority was given for
publishing such ticket. In what we have
said we mean no disrespect for MIR. Jewstt, for
we are confident he would as much despise the
idea of riding inIo Office on split ticket, as
any other honorable man. But we wish to put
the public upon their guard, and to express our
utter adherence of the frequent practices of the
tools of Iocofocoism to push their candidate
into office by this kind OF deception.

FRAUDS!

Beware of Locofoco Frau1s and misrep-
reservations, Let every Wing be on his
guard. Every kind of falsehood and mis-
representation which fruitful and wicked
imagination can conceive, and lying
tongue can utter, are being and will be. set
afloat against Wing candidates and Wing
measures. The same game was played
last year. Not content with common and
ordinary wholesale falsehooi, certificates
were got up and sworn to, in order to run
the character and defeat ono OF our candi-
dates for Senator. But the people were
