fest the irratonality of such inference. Let one or two m addition suffice
 The popular branch of the legislature may express it's dissent by unanimous vote, and fs resolution may he defeated by tie yole in ihe Senate, and yet ihe assent is to be implied Both branches of the legislature may in a resolution Of decided dis sent, and yet the Governor may exert the oefo power conferred on hIm by the State Constitution, and their legislative action be defeated; and yet the assent of ihe legislative authority is implied, and the directors of this contemplated institution are author ised establish branch or branches tn such State, whenever they may find 1t conducive to the interest of the stockholders to do sO and having once estab lished it. they under circumstances, with if, except by of Congress. The State may after wards protest against such unjust interference, but its authority is gone. It's ls implied by its failure or inability act at it's first session, and it's voice can never afterwards be heard. To nterences so violent, and, they to me, irrational can not yield my consent. No court of justice would could sanction them, without reversing all that is tahshed in judicial proceeding, by introducing pre- sumpons variance with fact and inferences at the expense of reason. State in condition of duress would be presumed to speak, as individual, mana ced and in prison, might he presumed to De in the en- joyment of freedom. Far better to say to the States loudly and frankly-Congress wills aud submission Is demanded.
 It may be said that the directors may not establish branches under such circumstances. But this IS question of power, and this bill invests them with full authority to do If the Legislature of N. York Pennsylvania, any other State, should be found ts be in such condition as have supposed could there be any security furnished against such step on the part of the drectorsl Nay, it moi fairly to be pre- sunled that this prOyso was introduced tor the sole purpose of meeting the contingency referred tol- Why else should il have been introduced! And submit to the Senate whether it he believed that any State would be likely to sit quietly down under such state of thngsl In great measure of pub lie interest their patriotism may he successfully ap- pealed to; but to infer their from circumstan ces at with such inference, I cannot but regard as calculated to excite feeling at fatal enmy with the peace and harmony of the country. must there fore regard this clause asserting the power to be in Congress to establish offices of discount in State, not only without its assent, but against its dissent and regarding It, l cannot sane ton it. On general principles, the right in Com gress to prescribe terms to any State, implies a superiority of power and control, deprises the transaction of all pretence to compact between them, and terminates, have seen, in the total abroga- ton of freedom ofacton the part of the States But further, the State may express, after the most solemn form of legislation, it's dissent, which may from time to time thereafter be repeated, in full view of its interest, which can never be separated from the wise and benfcent operation of this gov ernment and yet Congress may by virtue Of the last proviso, overrule it's law, and upon grounds, which, to such State, will appear to rest a constructive necessity and propriety, and nothing more regard
 the bill as asserting for Congress the right to ncor- porate United States Bank with power and right to establish offices of discount and deposte in the several States of this Union, with without ther consent-a principle to which have always hereto- | fore been opposed, and which can never obtain my sanction. And waiying all other considerations growing ont of its other provisions, return it to the House in which it originated, with these my objec- tions to it's approval.
