The books of subscription to the bUnk:of the
United States were opened, according to law, on
the Ist tumor, at various,places directed in the act
for incorporating the bank. From what we have
heard, there can be no doubt but the required amount
of capital will be subscribed, and that the bank will
go into operation within the time which the act
prescribes. We feel much gratified at the ascertain-
ment of this fact to oursatistaction, as weshould sup-
poseevery class of the community must feel at any
prospect, however remote, of a remedy of the evils of
the present diseased state of the paper currency:
The present subjection of the mass of the merchants
and tradesmen to the impositions of money-bro-
kers and speculators is as deleterious to the inte-
grity, as it is oppressive to the indaskry of the
community. Let us hope that the establishment
of a bank on national principles will have a ten-
dency to palliate the disorder, if it do not com-
pletely cure the complaint under which we
labour.
Much is Old in these papers of the operations
Of Bolivar and Morino ; but the accounts are of
so contradictory 8 nature as uot to be deemed
vorthy of serious attention.
