BARNARD, in Pennsylvania.
eve understand that Gen. BARNARD intends
forwarding to the Governor of the State his rcsig-
nation as member Of the Senate of the United
States, TO be laid before the Legislature its next
meeting in December. The step is the result of a
determination long since formed, and communica-

 Whereas, it is believed that the President and Directors of the Bank of the United States, are desrous of establishing branch or office of discount and deposite of said Bank, at some point in the northern part of this State-And whereas, it is believed by this General Assembly, that the introduction of such an institution is calculated not only to prejudice the interest of our own State Bank, but also to injure the people at large, because a favored fezU would be enabled to control the operations of the institution so as to favor their own views and interest exclusively
