aress had Tight IL establish u National Bank to
operate PER throughout the L mon that the pro-
posed charter derived TINS right from Congress, in
aerogation of the and rights of the states.
The further ground was taken-that a disc0untIag

grounds would, IN Mr.. EwIngs opinion justify the
belief that the President was actuated by conscen-

When the second Bank became the subject OF
discussion m the Cabinet, Mr. Badger represent

of the bill he bad prepared was maze, and did not

his letter. by the direction oil the President and al
ter wards approved by him.
But the President again adverts, IN bis Cabinet

he had To a Bank of discount. Ia Cabinet meeting,

After this explanation. with another inhibition of
all discounts BY the emphatic expression, - Don l
name discounts, they nave been the source OF the
most abomnabe corruptions. what are We to THINK

sample OF that abominable corruption TO which the
President refers IN h.s remarks. And yet Mr.. Ew
