In iulfment of promise made in his second veto
message at the commencement OF the second session
of Congress in December, lo4l, the President sub
milted the Erehequer Plan.
In this plan aud those notifications OF II, reported
by the several select committees Of both Houses OF
Congress, it will be seen that the prominent leading
feature is thai providing ga sound circulating medium
and at the time securing the means u aiding The
Treasury and restoring the national credit.
In 1878, when the finances Of the Government were
equally embarrassed as they are now, Mr. Madison
would consent to approve scheme or Bank char
ter which did not IN has Judgment, secure both "a
sound circulating medium and the resu citation OF
the PROSTATE credit Of the Treasury and Govern
ment But this measure and all measures OF kin
dred nature emanating from TINS administrator, are

lot of the ancient Jews, the Scrioes and Pharisees,
exclusively, to strain at gnat and swallow camel.
In his message of December, lS4l, presenting the
Exchequer plan, the President says, cannot aban-
don this subject without urging upon you, in the
most emphatic manner, whatever may be your
ton OH the suggestions which have felt il to be my
duty to submit TO relieve the chief executive magis-
