i/'this exiriiordhiy arguifienf, the' Si-arr-mry
has offered not a single illustration', nor st eni
sle remark bearing tho semM'ince of reason,
out one, which I shall now proceed to notice:.
lie assorts, apd asserts truly, that the bank
charter is a ciralmct'betwcen me Government,
or rather Ulo people oCt(ic United States and
the bank, and that it constitutes'lriin ti cniii.-
inon.agent or trustee, to superintend lire exe
cution, of.tire stipulations-cuutifrned in. that
portion oftbe contract comprehended in rhe
sixteenth section. • .Lot us now,, taking these
a«siimptions hi bo.true, jisc'eriuiii what Those
stipulllioa's are, 'tire anpermterpicned • n f the
execution of which*'®*. lie affirfb*. nrc jrrrntly:
confided by the parties to the Secretary. The
Government stipulated ik its part, that the.
publicuinhey sUould.be deposited in the.Baok'
of the Untied. Stales-»a great, anil -valuable'
privilege, on’ which the successful ojremtioii
of tlie institution ’mainly depends. • The Bank,
da its phrt,-stipulated that' the.funda-shorilti.
bo safely kept—that ’tlie 'duties imposed fit
relation to.tIieinshould.bc jaithfullp
sed, and that for iltii,, with other .,
ft would pay to .the-. government, the sum. of
ouo milium ijve hundred thousand dollars.
These, are, the..stipulations, the .execution of
•which',' according tdthp Sacretaryts itssutnp-
