n''ss moo be exposed fer political reasons" How /
Could such hints be tlro.vu out and for political
reasons 700, when we have already shewn that
the ndiscrininntc exposure of the accounts Of the
persons who stood os debtors those books, rs over
drawers, would have displayed the of the |
friends OF Mr.. Adams, as we'll General Jackson
we repeat shat 10 suspicion prevailed III this
qharicr, That these funds had been used for any pO
ttca purposes w!lrtcyer; ana we confidently appeal
even to the most ranco,ous of Gen. Jackson's enc
mes, IN this place for the truth or assertion.
D. Next IN order comes the 5th mterroSatoiy.

stracted from the Bank, drawn by OF the mem
bsrs OF the famous white washing committee, and
devoted to c.cctionecTng purposes"
ihe prcviouS responses afford complete answer
ana reiuta'ion to this inquiry Bat to put down all
eaViiiug We reply that said committee never did, o
Their dleect!y or indirectly draw dollar from said
Bank Tor any purpose whatsncvcr-no- did any icdl-
vduai member of SAID committee draw one cent
from that Bank, that did not honestly and legitimate
iy belong 10 him. We will go further and also state.
that not single member OF that committee is now,
or ever was an oyerdrawcr or deiaucr al that Bank
TO the least extent whatever.
Z. The following is the 9th ntrrrocatory.
IS; Was not its payment guaranteed by the
bal pledges OF some other mentegs OF that commit

This demand has been also fi,ly answered As
TO money ever drawn b. said Committee from
SAID Bank-or BY any individual member OF that
committee no guarantee or repayment. either verbal
or written could have been asked or -ivcn.
! Z. The tulowngi is The 7;il interrogatory.
| ~! Was not s'reaisr (at least who
holds more conspicuous stuiipnl than either OF the
members Of that committee. appraised of these pro-
ceedings; and did he not give in Tie sanction OF his
acquesccncc?"

last line OF the 9th nerrogaory which will be pre-
sen,y inserted that the money just referred to was
sent from Washington city by Gen Jackson. We
proceed o explain. When the late Cashier retired
from the Bank, he to:.k with him several trunks CON
aining the books OF the Bank as before stated.
IieSe trunks also contained about Si2 GOO in bank
notes on this very Bank, which Col Parrish Of course
returned; and thus is the money which we presume
