On the other question I readily decide
against the project recommended by the
President. Reasons more than sufficient
appear to have pecn presented to the pub

of the latter may be seen in his memoirs,

of the State Banks, vol. 4, p. 199, 220.

this, he had in substance but one answer.:

that he should see in the conduct of some
