6830. POWERS, Assumed.—
I had rather
ask an enlargement of power from the nation,
where it is found necessary, than to assume
where it is found necessary, than to assume
it by a construction [of the Constitution]
which would make our powers boundless.—
To Wilson C. Nicholas. Washington ed. iv, 506.
