Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Marvin, of New York, on the Sub-Treasury Bill: Delivered in the House of Representatives, June 9, 1840 Under these circumstances, if such an institution is deemed essential to the fiscal Operations of the Government, I submit to the wisdom of the legislature, whether a national one, founded upon the credit of the Government and its revenues, might not be devised, which would avoid all constitutional difficulties, and, at the same time, secure all the advantages to the Gov erhmént and the country that were expected to result from the present bank.'
