and almost insupnrable difficulty ;additional
light has been recently shed upon the seri-
Gus doubts which he had on the subject, n.
mounting at one time to n conviction thai
| it was his duty to Withhold his approval from
the bill. This is found among the manu-.
scrip, papers Of MIR Madison, authorized to
be purchased for the use oftie government
by an act Of the last session OF Congress
and now for The first time accessible to the
public.
F,em these papcrs,it appears that President
Washington, while he yet held the bank bill in
his hands. actually requested MIR. Madison, at
that time member OF the lIouse of Represent
ative-, to prepare the draft OF veto message for
him. Mr.. Madison at his request. did prepare
the draIt of such message aud sent it TO him
on the 2lst of Februaiy 1871. A copy of this
original draft, in Mr. MadIson's own hand writ
ing, was carefully preserved dy him. and is a.
mong the papers recently purchased by Congress
II is preceded by note, written oil the same
shec whicI, is also in Mr. Madison's hand writ
ing and is as fellows:
February 2lst, 1901, copy of paper
made out and sent to the President at his
request, to be ready in case his judgement.
should finally decide against the bill fer in
cooperating National Bank, the bill being
then before him %
Among the objections assigned in this
paper to the bill, and which were submit
ted for the consideration of the President,
are the following:
81 object to the bill because it is an es-
sential principle Of the government that
one power not delegated by the constiIu-
ton cannot be righ,fully exercised: because
the power proposed by the bill TO be exer-
cised is not expressly delegated, and be-
cause cannot satisfy myself that it results
from any expressed power by fair and safe
tIles ofinterpretation."

designed as remedy for various complaints,
dependent ON weakened and relaxed state
of the Spinal and Abdominal muscles. The
vast number of cases of disease, depending
primarily on such weakness, is we'll known

other disadvantages, has long been desid-

In the construction of this instrument, the

led with disease or debilitated condition OF
the spinal column and it's muscles, induced
the combination of the shoulderbrace with
the spinal and abdominal supports, thus ad-
mirably adapting the instrument to those
