An animated debate, between several of the

yesterday, notice of which, I was unable to

expired, called up a resolution touching the re,

proceeded to consider at length. He promised

danger of error must increase with the IN.
creasing oblivion of explanatory circum-
starces, and with the continual changes in
the import Of words and phrases.
Let II then be left 10 the decision Of eve-
~ intelligent and candid Judge, which, on
the whole, is most to be relied on for the
true and safe construction of Constitution
that which has the uniform sanction of sue.
cessive legislative bodies through period
of years, aud under the varied ascendency
of parties; or that which depends upon the
opinions of every new legislature, heated
as II may be by the spirit Of party, eager
in the pursuit of some lavorlte object, OF
led astsay by the eloquence and address Of
popular Statesmen, themselves, perhaps
under the influence Of the same misleading
causes.
Ii was in conformity with the view here
taken Of the respect due TO deliberate apc
reiterated precedents that the Bank Of the
United States, though on the original ques,
ton heidto be unconstitutional, received the
Executive signature in the year 1871
The Act originally establishing Bank had
undergone ample discussions in It's passage
through the several branches of the Gov.
eminent. 1t had been carried into execu.
ton throughout a period of twenty years
with annual legislative recognitlons; IL
one instance indeed, with positive ramif.
cation OF 1t into new State; and with the
en..e acquiescence of all the local author
tiles, as well as of The nation at large; 10
all Of which may be added, decreasing
prospect Of any change in the public opin-
ion adverse 10 The constItutionalIty Of such a
Institution. A Veto from the Executive
under these circumstances, with an admls-
sion Of the expediency and almost necessi-
ty of the measure, would have been de-
fance Of all the obligations derived from
a course of precedenls amounting to the
requisite evidence of the national ludg.
ment and intention.
1t has been contended that the authori-
~ OF presidents was IN that case invalida,-
ed by the consideration, that they proved
only respect for the stipulated duration
Of the 3aak with federation of il until the
Law should expire, and by the casting vote
given in the Senate by the Vice President
IN the year ISL, against a bill for estab-
fishing a National Bank, the vote being ex-
pressly given on the ground Of unconssitu-
tonallty. But if the law of itself was IN
constitutional, the stipulation was void, and
could not be constitutionally fulfilled or
tolerated. And as 10 the negative Of the
Senate, by the casing vote ofthe presiding
officer, It IS a fact well understood at the
time, that it resulted not from an equality
Of opinions in that assembly on the power
Of Congress to establish Bank, bu, from
junction Of those who admitted the pow.
er, but disapproyed the plan, with those
who denied the power. On a simple ques-
tion Of constitutionality, there was decid-
cd majority in favor oft.
