THE BANK.

The Telegraph OF Thursday says, care we to
understand that the President will not sign the
bill? We mean disrespcct to Mr.. McLanc but
we say that no one will believe him if he asserts
that he had not consulted Gen. jackson on the sub
ject of his Report We affirm that he did consult
him, and let the Globe deny affirmation at its
peril. We do more. We affirm too, that if bill
session, it will not be vetoed unless it be ascertain
ed that there is the requisite majority in Congress
TO pass it,
This is what we have said, led to the conclusion
without exchange of thought with any human
being, and entirely by observing the Horo's shut
fling course in every emergency, (not excepting
the Maysville veto) by knowledge of his thirst of
power, and his cunning. Now, let the end be
marked. If he does sign it, mark what course the
tribe of power worshippcrs will take. Mark if our
venerable contemporary does not stick to jackson.
Mark if he does not expectorato lamentation,
well sprnked and seasoned with ustiGcatory hints,
tending to represent the Hero as the victim of ne
cessity. He will be the Hero, and the Patriot and
the of Virginia principles the less for sign
ing the bill We know these people-we know
them wcll-wc have never yet been disappointed
in them their course. They will not give up
power-thcy will not give up Jackson, long as
he aid them-do what he will, he is sure OF
their support long he commands the affections
of the People. We speak of tire power worship
pcrs.

W The South Carolina Legislature has passed
bill permitting the consideration TO be given in
evidence, under the plea Of non est fIciun,, ac-
cordisg to Gov 1amilton's recommendation. The
Charleston City Gazette says, is obvious indeed
that this is intended to give Jurics jurisdiction over
Constitutional affairs, and especially, in cases oil
the collection Of tho Revenue.

patriotic gentlemen who stood the former suit, will
speedily come up for contest, and from the
