I therefore rtsign the, : office of Secretary if the Treasury,,and egilm,t o accept this as my letter ofTesignation." • To a-void misunderstanding, I distinctly declare, that I do not consider a difference of opinion - a)§ to the charter of a National Bank, a supicieut reason for „dissolving the ties whiclohave existed between us. TIM' I look' upon that 'measure as one of vast im portance to the prosperity , of the country, and though I should have deeply depl'ored your inability or unwillinumesi to accord it to the Wishes of the peel& and the states, so unequivocally expressed through 'their Representatives, still, upon this and this alone, unconnected with other controlling circumstance's, I should mot 'havelfelt bound to resign , the place l urlach I hold in your Atlmliustration. - tot those 'controlling cir= cumstancea do exist, and I will, in mpown justification, place them in connexion be fore You.

'So far as that bill Was linown-to'me, or as-I was Consulted upon it, I endeavored to bring its provisions as nearly. as possible in' accordance with what I understood to be your views, and rather hoped than. expected your approval.

This is all th e power necessary fortransmitting the.public funds and regulating exchanges and the currency."' Mr. Webster then expressed, id 'strong terms, his 'opinion that such a charter wotild •answer all just purposes of goVernment and he, satisfactory to the people;, and de clared his preference for it over any which had been propoied, especially as it. dis pensed with the .assent•of de• states tO—C-r& , .. ate an institution necessary 'for carrying-rin the • fiscal operations of government.

This'bill, framed and fashioned according to your own suggestions, -in the initiation of which . I and another Member of youi cabinet Were - tmale by - you The agents and the negotiators, was TasSed by large rit jorities -through the ,tWoilotises of Con gress, and sent to_you, and you rejected it; Important as was the part which I had taken, at your' request, in the origination of this bill, and deeply as I was committed for your action upon it, you never consult , ?dine on dn.( subject of the veto message. ' You did not even refercto it in the conver sation, and- the first notice I had of its con tents was 'from rumor. • And to me, at least, you, have :done no thing to wipe the personal indignity arising out of the act. I gathered, it is true; from your conversation, shortly after the . bill' 114, passed the House, that you had a strong purpose to.reject it; but nothing was• said like softening or apology to inci either in reference to myself, or to those with whom I had communicated at your 'request, and who had acted themselves and included the two Houses to act upon the fitith of tha communication. And, strange as it may seem, the Veto Message attacks in. an espe dial manner the very provisions whieli were inserted at your request; and even the name of the corporation, which was not only agreed to by you, but especially changed to meet your expressed wishes, is made the subject of your criticism. Different men might view this transaction in different points of light, but, under these circumstands, As a 'Mayer of personal honor', it wotild be hard for me to remain of your counsel, to seal my lip's, and leave unexplained and undiSeloSed where lies in this transaction the departure from .straightforwardness and 'candor. - So far indeed .from admitting the. encouragement which you gave to this bill in its inception, and..explaining and excuSing"s , 44:_.Sudden and violent hostility towards .it,.you., throw into Jour Veto" Message an interrogatory equivalent 'to an assertion that it was 'such a bill as you liad'already declared 'could not ' receive yoursanction. Such is the obvious 'effect of the first interrogatory clause on the second page. . It has 'all the force of an as sertion without its open 'fairness:. I have met and refuted , this,lhe necessary inference .frona your language,s'in triy.preedding state meat, the correctness.of..which you, I am sure; ; will not call in question.. • Your' veto to the first' bill you rested oh constitutional ground and the..high convic tiona' of conscience; and no - man, my Opinion, had. a tight. to ,question your since.; rity. so said, and I so acted-4or, through all the contest and collision that 'arose out of that act, you had my adherence and'support.

You, therefore, could not be, and you • were not, taken unprepared on this gpeAtion. The bill which I reported to Congress, with your approbation, .at the commencement of the •session, had the clause relating to ages ower—toAeal — in — ex strotrly developed as the one you have now rejected, had equally, without the assent of the States: 'You referred specially and with approbation to that clause, many days after, in a conversation held:in the Department of State.. You,sanetioned it in this' particular bill as detailed above.. And no doubt was thrown out. on the . suliject .by you in my. hearing,_ or within my..krtowledge, until the letter of Mr. Botts acme to your hands.. Soon after the reading Of 'that letter, you threw gait strong intimations that you would veto the bill if It Were not postponed.

Webster and Ewing wore especially requested by the President . to have a cointnuoication- upon the 'subject with certain members of Con gress. The institution then spoken of was tO be located in the District of ColuMbia; to be authorized to. establish - agencies in the States and. Territories, with power to deal in bills of exchange between the 'United States and foreign countries, and in bills of exchange drawn in one State or Territory, and payable, in another State or Territory; and the exercise tif this power was not to depend on any assent,•expressed or impli ed, of the States within which such agen 'cies might be established. In conseqUenee of what passed at this meeting, I saw such friends in'Congress as - I deemed it proper to, approach, and urged upon them tae passage of a bill to establish such an , institution, assuring, them that I. did not doubt it yould'reeeive•the approba tion of the President. The' bill was passed, as. the public know, and was met by the veto. Now, if, the President, after the meeting of ilrelT3th Au gust,' had changed, his mind as to the con stitutional Power of Congress, and hail come to doubt or deny what he had ad mitted in that meeting, (which is the most favorable interpretation that can be put upon his conduct,) it was, in my opinion, a plain duty onThis . part to have made known to the gentlemen •concerned this change - of sentiment—to have - offered' theM an apelogyl4-the unpleasant situation in Which they were placed by his age»ey---or, at least;Ao,liave,:toftened, by a fulLaxple nation of his motivea, his intended veto of a measure in promoting the success of which they, at his request, had . rendred, their as- sistance.

It . was still in the President's power, by a proper stateE ment in the message „containing hii objec tions to the, bill, to have supplied these omissions, and in some degree at least:to have,, repaired .former, neglect; • but when that, phier came to .be read, it was found that so fur from saying .frankly that' he .once favored end had been to sanction the 'bill, but had : _been led (if such was the fact ). by subsequent 'reflection. to adopt different.vieWs upon the subject; he treatedlhe. measure as one. evidently hiCon . - siitent with his - previouslY . expressed:opin-- ions, and Which it might net to have been supposed for a moment he -could aperoim: Whdther this tonduct the President is susceptible - of . just defence 'or reasonable excuse nbtAiecessary now to inquire.
