repy to an article in a late number of the
Mssissippian, relative to the comparative
claims of Messrs. Williams and Wood

the high office to which they aspire, in
which the Mississlppion attempted 10

NEAR CLINTON, MISS, J


August, II, lS4l(
10 HC LdHOF q inc DeHHHet:--


Sri ask the nse OF your paper to
make known to the public the true state
ofGCe, alluded to in connexion with my
name n the Mlssisslppian on the Both
July, in an article headed, "The Office
Of the Secretary of State" The first
Componl IS that ] voted for the Supple
mental Act 10 the charter of the u. Bank.
The circumstances which caused me 10
GIVE thai vote are, that IN the canvass of
lSb, aseertained satisfactorily, that
agenaJorlty of the people of Ilinds CO.,
wrn ayor Of the passage of the Union
Dloi charter; IN several speeches before
lspof2, J declared nv opposition to the
ph1la 77suaag'- Of hnnL:-.,r.. s.r, A. I;a~aar. 81,
stated That | beIived that the charterlEg OF
the UnIon Bauk would bring more evil
iIla good t. the country, but holding the
doctrine that Representatives bound by
lbe will Of his constituents, that If elected,
would use my best eXertIons to bring the
bank into operation. Ga the passage Of
the bill through the house, | stated 10 my
seat, my opposition to the measure, but
large malority Of my constitu-
cnts in favor liz, lfrlt bound 10 that g.
every other instance TO carry out IN good
iai h their will.


At that time did not believe either the
original charter or supplemental act, IN
constitutional subsequent examination
has induced the to change my opinion on
TINT subject. | now believe both The ORR
gnal charter, and the supplemental act
Unconstitutional, for the following among
many oher reasons which | shall not IN
'as communication give.


Constitution OF the State Of Mississippi,
ATT 7Ih, Sec. 7th. No money shall be
U'a"n ircm the treasury but 10 conse
qleoce Of an appropriation made by law;
uOF Shall any appropriation Of money for
Tue support Of an army be made for IonT
ger Term than one year. u....


Sec' $40 money from the treasury
snail be appropriated to objects Of internal
Improvements, unless bill for that pur-
p0se De approved by two.thrds OF both
branches Of the Legislature; and regu-
l"' statement and account of the receipts
'%"d Expenditures Of public money shall
Oe published annually


Sec. a.-No law shall ever be passed
70 RAISE loan Of money upon the credit;
" y ue state, or pledge the faith Of the state
'0t Iue payment or redemption of any loan
VI ueDt unless such law be proposed in the
S'uaIe or House Of Representatives, and
U' agreed to by majority of the mem-
oerS ol each house, and entered on their
I'uFnaIs, with the yeas and nays taken
"'eleon, and be referred to the next sue.
'''uIng legislature and published for three
o'hs "Oo'hs previous to the next regular cleo
"ou' IN three newspapers Of this state, and
! u'''esS a majority Of each branch Of the
VSsIalure so elected, after such pubica-
"OlI, snail agree to and pass such law.


A"e power here given to the leglsla'
tue 10 Faise loan Of money is evidently
'uF ~ 'ne purposes named in the two prece.
"los sections and as the power Is nc
TAere gwen in the constitution to raise d
'opn oil money tor banking purposes,
!aNe 1t lor granted that the trainers of th'
Instrument, never intended to give The
legislature power to raise loan of money
"f any other purposes than is therein
specified; and the constitution further eX
pTessly declares that all Law. passed con
Irary thereto shall be void.


Therefore any law pledging us, fait
O' this state for loan Of money to ban
upon is void,
