" another objection to this enquiry,
because every -one knew that thes.

BANK OF THE UNITED S Fd7,E.S


We persist in affirming that The
question OF renewal or ncn.renewal
of the charter of the Bank of the u.
States, is now, and ever has been "a
Party Question. We are borne out in
this opinion by the authority of that
oracle of Federalism, Chief Justice
Msrz hall. The federalists in every
instance in which they have voted,
have, co man, voted in favor of the
Bsns. The democrats generally, but
net universally, have voted against
the Bank. In this city there are few,
and but a few, democrats who are in
favor of the Bank, ard it is astonish.
ing to see how those few have been
used SO as to play them OF against
the parry. They have heen made
lchsirmen, secretaries, orators & CON-
mittee- nlen at meetings composed
principally of men, who detcst their
principles, calumnIate the men of heir
choice, and accuss the party of which
they profess to be members, of de-
sire TO PROSTATE the con- mercc of the
Il. States in obedience o TIE orders of
la Foreign despnt. We have seen
those few democrats advocating the
Bank With a zeal aud activity ou.syr,p.
ping the federaliats. They have not
tnly ca'i@d meetings OF various kinds,
But hey have amended then, all, AID
hey have thus aided and encouraged
the federal party to abuse the princi.
pies, the measures, ard the men OF
q Rocracy. Is tits as il ought TO be |?
10 cs'fnteract these Prctecus like
Prde zee dings and demonstrate the O..
pinioh OF the party, 6 the democratic
citizens" were called;n the several
wards, and they have all, we believe,
lec,ed delegates decidedly hos lie to
the Bank. The means taken to deter
the democrats from attending he ward
meetings, & the Publishing the names
and occupations of some Of those who
did attend are among the most disa
graceful ever resorted to by any psrtv
to accomplish any object. Tee d.
mocrats who are faithful 10 the con.
stitution are by nan and by trade de-
nounced, whilst those who &C. with
the federalists are cherished as the
most fsvoured nurselings of the party.
These remarks have been extorted
from US by the request for us to
publish calIfor meeting of demo.
Gratis in favor Of renewal of the
charter OF the Bank of the u. States.

WASHINGToN. Jan. 90.
A discussion took place Yesterday in the
House OF Representatives OF an interesting
nature to the citizens Of this district in
which it's interests and relations with the
general government and the states were
more seriously discussed han at any time
since Mr.. Sloan's celebrated motion for the
remov.l OF the seat of government. The
subject was the incorporation of the several
'un'ncorporated banks at present existing in
the district.
We were highly grati6ed at the Eberalty
OF sentiment displayed by some ofthe speak
ers towards the unfortunate and almost
trieudless population this district: and we
respect while we deprecate sentiments which
were uttered OF different tendency. Per-
haps there is nothing more difficult, than to
unite, in any measure of Importance in rela-
ton To the district, the sentiments of ma
Jority of the Representatives of seventeen
distinct sovereignties, differing materially
IN their forms of government, interests and
manners, IN the election of whom the people
to be governed have no agency. II is there
tore subject more Of regret than surpr re
that, under our anomalous governments, we
have hitherto frequently failed of obtaining
the adoption of municipal regulations, con-
corning the expediencv of which no doubt
exists among the inhabitants of the district,
The attention yesterday paid to the subject
under consideration augurs more iavorably
ofthe future.
With respect to the subject which gave
rise 10 the debate, we are induced to believe,
from refusa; tn recOmmit it, that the bill 10
renew the charter of the Bank of Alexan-
dria will pass without much opposition 49,
VI he fate of the others we are not so GER
Tain.
With respect to the Bank OF Washington
we may be permitted to remark, that in ad-
dition TO the general sentiment of the people
In Its favor, justice to the city appears to re.
qulre 1t. BY the dissolution of the Bank of
the United States, the city is left without
any Incorporated bank and bank CAPITAL
to considerable amount loaned out by the
Branch in this city is suddenly withdrawn.
-Even within three days past we under
stand that an order has been received at once
curiail the discounts of the Bank at the
rate of 40 per cent.
The establishment of bank has almost
become necessary. from habit. as a deposit
tary otprlVate property ;-and we doubt
whether there is 4 seaport town of the same
populsiion III the Union which has not at
least one bank. With respec, to the manner
in which the bank of Washington has been
conducted, and its present state, we hazard
prove its situation to be as reputable, the
amount of specie IN its vaults to be as great in
proportion TO the amount of capital paid in,
and its conduct to have been 'as prudent, as
hat OF any bank in the Union, not excepi-
ing the Bank OF the u. S.

A correspondent remarks that, by the
yeas and nays on the indefinite postponement
OF the bill renewing the charter of the Bank
OF the U. S. it is ascertained that the repre-
sentatives from the important commercial
cities of n. York. Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Norfolk and Charleston, including the two
largest Cities in the Union, voted against the
Bank ofthe u. States. So far as this fact
goes, It ~ least proves thar the Bank is not
