ms Is downright miss,atcment, as the fact
Is CnaCtiy the reverse. The l6Lh fundamental rule

purroseIy overlooked, because you mus; have been
IHh'Iiar with the whOlc.) applies to tie agfnciss
SPOKEN oi by Mr.. Ewing and nowhere recognizes
the assent OF the States as necessary: on the con
trary II IS where the States refuse their assent TO
vac establishment Of Offices OF discount and derosit
'hat II IS provided. "Or, instead of establishing
such ohces,' lol discount and deposit at shall he
awful Tor the directors of The said rncorporat.onr
without tic assent OF the Suites, remcmncr) "iron
ume 10 tlme, 10 employ any individual, AGENT, or
