The memorial of the officers of the United
States Bank. praying Congress to re-charter
that, Institution, was presented in both houses
last week. 1t was presented in the Senate by
MIR. Dallas, who took occasion to say that he
deemed the time lnauspicious for elaboration
on the subject. but that nevertheless, he felt it
his duty to fulfil what was regarded as the
wish of Pennsylvania. From his remarks,
MIR. Dallas was evidently afraid that the dis
e ssion Of the question at this period would in
jur the prospects of the ROarit,g LioR.' e Q
memorial was referred to select committee,
consisting of Messrs, Dallas, Webster, Ewing,
Hayne and Johnson.
In the House the memorial was presented
|by Mr McDuHie. Much excitement was cree
ated on the occasion. and Mr.. Wayne, of Geor-
|gia, an enemy of the Bank, moved that the sub
iect be referred to select committee. which
was opposed by Mr.. McDufie, who contend
sd that it should be referred to the committee
of Ways and Means, of which he is Chairman,
(which prevailed by vote OF 100 to co.

likewise spoke in favor of its reference to the

In each of his annual messages he has called the
attention of Congress to the Bank, and stated his
opinion IN relation thereto, and now, after they
nave complied with his request lie makes that fact
serious objection 10 the bill. Premature! Who
made IT premature? Gen. JACKSON, in his Mcssnrc
dated December 9TH, 1880, thus speaks:-
"iho Importance of the principles involved in
the inquiry whether il will be proper TO rc-car,cr
the Bank Of the United States, regimes that /
should again cull tho attention of Congress to the

The Western papers bring us the following cir
cular from the Commissioner of the General Land
Office:
''Sir j send you the second number 1.-THE "Eutrg

Comment 2.-Ifthc President is really the 4frani;
old man" his friends proclaim him to be, and moi
capable OF playing the hypocre as is charged by

both, by burling from Office an individual who has

RENUNCJArIONS.-T Albany Daily hd-
vcrtser states that tho following communication
was handed to that paper for publication, by re-
spectacle citizen.
ave are informed chat Governor Pitcher NJ. G..
from Washington County, avows himself decided
~ opposed to the reelection of Andrew Jackson;
that lie is decided Clay man; and that unless am.
other electoral ticket should be nominated, he shall
vote for that already before the public. lie says
no HONORABLE MAN COULD HAVE STAYED AT w ,sII-
INGToN LAST WINTER, AND NOT BEEN GOWN
cED OF THE UTTER INCoMPETENCY OF ANDREW
JACKSON FOR THE SITUATION PILLS"
Governor Pitcher is worthy and sensible man;
but we should not re publish his isolated opinion,
with tho capitals in which we find it cmblazoned, if
1t were his only. There is no honest man, of COM
mon intelligence in the Jackson ranks, who is not
OF tho same way Of thinking. The loavcs and
fishes all that stand in the way of total de-
| sertion of the present Executive, by high and
low; by those who regarded his character at dis
lance, as high minded, chvalric and pure; by the
politicians who used him for their own purposes;
and by those who go with their employers have
done so immcmorially, and will do secula se-
c"tor"m. We only wonder how respectable Jack
son men by profession, can look honest National
Republicans in the face, without laughing or blush

",rhe last mail from Washington brought us the
veto of General Jackson, upon renewing the
charter of the United States Bank and can say
without exaggeraton that it is reprobatcd here by
the independent men of all parties. But for this
act, am inclined to think Cen jackson would
have received the veto of this State. 1t will now
be given to MIR. Clay. We do not, however, des
pair of a renewal of the charter, even should Cen
jackson be reelected. There are not five men in
the present Congress from the Western States
elected with reference to this question. There
will not be fifteen returned to the merit
Congress- west of the mountains not
pledged to for the Bank and WHY
should it be otherwise? This country, which has
suffered every thing heretofore, from wrctchcd
currency, is now, under the administration of the
United States Bank, enjoying the blessings Of a
sound one. Formerly we were glad to pay O. -
and ID per cent for all the foreign capital we could
obtain; now we arc supplied with loans at per cent
Formerly it cost us and per cent. to remit to n
York and Philadelphia; now are furnished with
Bills on either place at J and per cent. and drafts
about which there can be no hazard. i have no in
tcrcst whatever in the Bank, or its Branches but
verify believe that it furnishes the most perfect
system OF commercial facility and accommodation,
and the best regulator of the currency of an extern

other nation. Whether attachment to an ndvid-
