We sclect for to-day, very temperate and as it
seems to us very serious attack the manage
mcnt of tho Bank Of the U. States, from the Nor
folk Herald. The editorial article accompanying
it is worthy of notice, and contains in brief space
satisfactory evidence of the erpediency of this In
stituton, the only question which ought now TO
be considered open for discussion. There certain
ly should be statute of limitations, applicable to
constitutional questions, and if so, we know no
stronger to apply to- than the Bank of the o.
States.
While we disposed to admit the practical
good effected by the Bank, we must at the same
time not forget that it is like all monied incorpo-
rations, peculiarly liable to abuses; and that tn.
people of the u. States, one and ALL are deeply in
tercsted chat its management be pure; the interest
of the stockholders themselves cannot be opposed
10 the interest of the community, or 1t would not
be e1pedcnt to establish tho Bank. 1t behoovss
all, thereto to be watchful, lest by msma ge-
ment, its blessings be turned into sweeping desola-
ton. well nigh the case some few years ago
1t is uncomfortable to US, that the States of Ken
lucky and Tennessee could, upon right motives
become deeply indebted 10 the Bank of the u.
States, and doubt not on investigation it will
be found that the debt is of long standing contract
cd under former End defective adm; nistration of
the Bank. If not, awful responsibility rests on
the present Directors and they ought to be indig-
nanty hurled from their places.
