The connexion between the government and the bank would, by necessary consequence, in the hands of that party, have led to a renewal of that system amount of their profits, and of a still larger portion of their respectability and influence. To touch their interest on this tender point is to combine all in one united and zealous opposition, with some exceptions in our portion of the community, where the union of the two powers acts injuriously to the banking, as well as to the commercial and other great interests of the section. To encounter so formidable an opposition, sup ported by a powenul political parly with whom I had been acting for' some years a gainst entire power, and who regarded the union of the government and the banks as essential to the union of the States them selves, was to assume a heavy responsibili ty, under the most favorable circumstances; but to buck and sustain those in such oppo sition, in whose wisdom, firmness and pa triotism, 1 have no reason to confide, and over whom I have no control, is to double that responsibility.
