A FACT TO BE REMEMBERED.-Of


the Congress of I790-9l, nineteen mem


bers had been members of the Convention


which framed our Constitution OF these


nineteen. thirteen voted for the first Bank


of the United States. two for the right of re-


peal after March 1902, and four agains; the


Bill. Among those who voted against tie


Bill, was Mr. Madison, who afterwards
changed his opinion and sanctioned the Sc
cond Bank. So that more than twothirds
ofthese statesmen, interpreting the work o.
their own hands, decided that National
Bank was constitutional. Yet the in fate of
this fact. the known opinions of Washing
ton, Knox, Governeur Morris, Hamilton,
&c, and the repeated decisions of the Su-
preme Court, modern democrats say that
National Bank is unconstitutional.


In the same Congress were seven signers
of the glorious DECLARATION OF INDEPEN-
DENcE. Five of these. namely, RoB'T
MORRIS, ELBRIDGE GERRY, GEORGE
CLyMER, ROGER SHERMAN and GEORGE
READ, voted for the charter, and only two,
RICHARD HENRY LEE and CHARLES CAR
ROLL, Tor the right of repeal after March,
1902. These men understood and appre-
ciated :be Liberty for which they had pledg-
ed their lives. their fortunes and their sa-
cred honor" and which they had bequeath-
ed to posterity But modern politicians
say that Bank will take away the Liber-
lies of the People i-Columbia Observer.
