amalgsmation of parties in the vote on the
passage OF the Bank bill, was the omen of a
like union in support of other measures q
quaiiy essential TO the characte-, TO the har-
plness, II not To the existence of the nation.

iated to facilitate tle raising OF money, we
should ike 70 see among the National Dele
gates the same sacrifice OF party aniuceitv

men, iffurther means be yet thought neces-
sary 10 that object by those who conduct eur
