1 Wood-Lnwn, sth Oei.'l ߣJ.
l j T)bAr Sir —Vour friendly letter on the
i subject ol tha Bank of the United Plates,
has fieeu received by due course of mail
; I he opioioipVhich I formed of she cnns-i
tutionality' and expediency of the Bank of
the Uniter? Stoto# *hen I was a member of
, the war the ri-eo.lt of o careful ej-i
datninstTon of Vue constitution ol the Uiuied]
iStatv*-. m««le without any preconceived o j
pinions- That opinion la recorded ia two]
' speeches which 1 made in the Senate in thei
year 18XL Since that, time I have had no]
' occasion of reviewing Ihd question. My'
' opinion rqm&ins unaltered. I was Secret#-,
try of the Treasury more than eight years,i
«ud during that time 1 had ample evidence)
of the great u’ility Tis the Bank of the U
States, in mansgmg the fiscal concerns of
I the'Union.
i am persuaded that no man, whatever
{his pre-conceived opinions may be, can pre
iside over the Treasury one year, without
being deeply impressed with the ezpedieo
,cy of the Bank" of the United States, in
j conducting the Euances of the Union. The!
provision ui sh% constitution which gives;
-Congress the power to pass all laws which]
m»y be necessary and proper to carry into 1
the enumerated powers, gives Con
gress the light to pan# the Bank ITII. unless
>a law most preper to carry into effect the:
power to collect aird distribute revenue,
shoiil ! be excluded by that provision. The
opponent# of the constitutionality of the
Bii.k place great streis upon the word ne
c«#sary, contained in the grant of power,
and insist that no law can be necessary,
but such, that without which the power
could not be carried into effect. Yet the
uncoiis'iiutionalify of the bank can be pro
nounced only upon that construction. It I
d"?» appear to me that the framers of thei
COOS rutlon never co-old" liriTc intended to!
exclude the passage of a law moat proper]
t " carry a pnw»r into eff ct, because it;
might be carried imperfectly into effect, be
cause it might be carried imperfectly into!
eff et by another law. My construction ol
he grunt off power to pass all lawa which
may b necessary to carry the enumerated
oowers into effect, includes the powe T to
pasa all laws which are necessary and pro
per to carry the enumerated powers into cf
lectio the most perfect and complete man
ner, and not in an incomplete and imper
fect manner,
I have not seen a complete developemcnt
jof the President’s plan of a Bank. It is
1 possible that by his plan the transmission of j
1 the revenue may be effected. b(it the safety)
"f the pub'ic deposits cannot he effected b>
•he President’s plan. The advantage of
this security to the public is incalculable.
1 1' ' Uglit not tobe relinquished, unless it can
b sa isfactorily proved that the Bank of the
'] United States is unconstitutional.
( l I his I think cannot be satisfactory shown.
,jMy speeches are record'd and can be re-
Mpublished if nrcessaay. They contain the
result of tho best investigation I was able
, f 0 g've the subject. lam persuaded I could
not improve it now, if I had the means of
investigating the subject, which I have not.
I am, Sir, your friend, &c.*

Four very splendid looking-glasses left
this city, a few dav# since, for the Presi
dent’s mansion, Washington. The plates
were each nine feet long, and four and a
t!half wide. We saw the superb and richly
carved frame work at the store of the. manu
facturer, Mr. C. Nolen, in Cfnssput-street.
• They are admirable specimens of workman
