On page 281, it is stated, that the bill to incorporate a bank of the United States, was defeated in the senate "by the casting vote of the vice-president, George Clinton, who was opposed to the bill, not on the ground of its unconstitutionality," &c. This is not correct. The writer had in mind the opinions of a certain other distinguished public functionary, which were, through inadvertence, attributed to Mr. Clinton, whose opposition to the bank, it is well known, was based upon the ground of unconstitutionality, as stated on page 985 of this work. On page 1004, the statement purporting to exhibit "the value of certain articles imported," is a statement of articles exported, as the intelligent reader will readily perceive. |
