nuations under the protection of nanon-
ymOus shield.
The mysterious vindicator has attempt-

TESS most of his arguments are unan-
Swerabie, because they are uninteilisi-
BILE.

lltical complexion of the Valley Bank, The
election OF directors, &C. viii afford "a
bundani testimony.
NIndicator has made sage discovery
in politics. Though the authority of go
vernment dlmlnisEes n you recede from
the centre, yet according TO him, the
state should retain least control at The

shall not frespass on the public BIZ re-
plying to charges of Inconsistency, which
evidently result from distorted view of
my arguments.
4 VIII now present new consideration
The petitioners have no shadow of right
TO CLAIM greater increase Of capital than
would be equal TO the excess stock sub
scrlbed, ami that to be granted under
state control. This excess, producei by
unparalleled emulation and excitement, d.
mounts 10 100, 900, or whereabouts, il

dea! more, was taken by gentl men re-
| siding III the District of Columbia, and o.
| tier places not intended to he i'm
| mediaiely benefited by the act of in.
corporation. In reducing The stock
10 us proper level, these distant stock
| holders VIII be ou>ted 10 tho amount
| OF upwards of 500 which of course
| should be rejected in the demand A
| farther dimlnuion should also be made
| on account Ofihe stock which will in
! slaDiiy be offered for sale, particularly by
the counties disappointed in the location
| ct the branches. | now refer il TO anv
one acquainted with simple subtraction
TO say whether the balance demanded bv
resident stockholders actually amounts
10 S 100000! But enough Of this sub /.
| Ject. MY former arguments remain I'M
controverted, and | trust the legislature
| Will not again remove one cent of bank
