 It was known In this city, that the pvaSl. dent would come out NgAlnSt the Bank, G6Fts night before the Message was delivered and Mr. Riddle, the President 0f tho Bank, was advised Or the fact, by letter, from thls city; but he cONld not believe h It b whispered that large stock operations were MNdc, in An. llclpatlSn Of the Message, tn tNis city.

At. ter settling the question respecting the basis of representation, one Wf the western mem. bers. Mir. DOddridgO, stated, that he was we'll
 
 to his constituents, Nnd he should detWFmine, after few days delibrratiOn, whether ho should remain any longer In hts seat. If the friends Wf reform should generally come to the conclusion, that constitution framed up- on the principles inv olved in the question above alluded tO, would be 0f 10 service tO their friends, and therefore resolve Go VNcRtU their seats, Or decline acting, probably the con- vcntiOn win break up without accomplishing any thing. Or if they should 0iEsr consti. tuition founded on that principle, the western part Of the State win undoubtedly rrqMest it. Either result. we have n" doubt, win have n tendency to increase the prevailing uncNSness, rather than to HllNy it.--ib.
