Here again the constitutional question meets us, but certainly on no other ground than it was supposed to have met the plan of establishing the national bank, now existing. As to the difficulty of equalizing the banks, or assigning to each its proper footing; that might be settled upon general legal principles: but it might not be easy to induce those that enjoy superior local advantages to share them with those in less favoured portions of the country.
