These are some OF the objections Whlc

this charter is designed TO continue fol

the defects to which | have alluded, being
founded on the fundamental law Of the
corporation, are irrevocabIe; and that, il
the objections be we'll founded, it would
be oyer-hazardoas to pass the bill into a
| law.
In conclusion, | take leave most respect.
fully to say, that have felt the most anx-
ious soIicitudo to meet the wishes of con-
grcss, in the adoption Of Fiscal Agent,
which, avoiding all constitutional objec.
tons, should harmonze conflicting opin.
ions. Actuated by this opinion, have
been ready to yield mucd, IN a spirit Of
Cancellation, to the opinions OF others !;
and it is with great pain that ! now feel
compelled to differ from congress u second
time in the same session. At the com
mencement Of this session, Incijned from
choice, to defer to the Legislative will, |
submitted TO congress the propricty of
adopting a Fiscal Agent, which, without
violating the constitution, would SEPARATE
the public money from the executive con
troll, and perform the operation Of the
treasury, without being ourdensome to
the people, or Inconyenient or expensive I
to the government
1t is deep y to be regretted that this de-
Dartment Of the government cannot, upon
ana other grounds. concur
with the legislative department in THIS
asst measure proposed to obtain these de-
sjrabIe objects Owing to the brief space
