We referred, a few days ago. to the exposi,;o,
of an attempt made to Jacksoni.e the Bank Of II.
U. States, by the removal Of an obnoxious Pre-
sident of one of its branches. The Na,or,
IntelIigencer has another "pOlitical revelation"
shewiag that it was not the Offices alone Of ,is
Bank that were considered the prey of the VIZ,
tors. They had an eye to its funds too.
In 1881, the Government ordered the "Ne
chanics' and Farmers Bank of Albany" to d..
burse the money for the pensioners of the STATE
of New York.
This order Mr. BiddIe proved to be direct,
contrary to law, and wholly unnecessary, if lie.
sgal, since there are branches Of the Bank Of III,
United States at Utica aud Buffalo, both mOie
convenient than any Bank in Albany for the pas
ment of the Pensioners. But he failed to con.
vince the Acting Secretary, and by agreement
the question was suspended for further advise.
ment. No long time after, the Office Of Sccre.
tary of War was filled by the appointment Of
Governor Cass. Under his administration Of IL.
concerns of this Department. We find the sea- If
reprobation Iadelibly impressed on the Shols
transaction BY the following letter:
WAR DEPARTMENT, March |, 1851.
SIR-I am satisfied, from careful eyamna.
ton OF the laws of Congress, that this Depart.
ment is not warranted in appointing pension
agent, in any State or Territory, where the Unit.
ed States Bank has established one Of its branch.
es. Hence, the agent at Albany has been nOl.
fed that his appointment, by this Department
has this day ceased.
TIE Farmers and Mechanics Bank at Al.
bany" is the Regency Bank. governed by pre-
fessed politicians Of the Van Buren, school. Fur
ther comment is, therefore, unnecessary.
Mr.. WickliHc, in the conversation that took
place in the House Of Representatives rea;ivete
the documents appended to MFR. Adams Bank
Report, concerning the accommodation extended
to Members Of Congress b, the Bank, remarked
that L" his attention had been called more part
cuIarIy to this subject. in consequence oil
" letter from an officer of high standing in tbs
Il" Government, which stated that Mr.. W. hal
" deserted the Administration, and had been
purchased up BY the Bank"
We regard this as another proof OF the e'"'a'
ness of the Executive declaration, that the Po"a
of the Government should not come into comic!
with the rights of the citizens. What ofl'er q
the Government has nsuted Representative
of the People, by accusing hun OF having peer
PURCHASED: Surely Mr.. WiekhIls Is H''
one who can tameIy submit to this. Surely NJ
Wickiffe will not rest easy under such s'a""''
Gus accusation. We should hardly have creaH
ed the assertion, that san officer OF h'sh SAM
ing in this Government" had stated that an homo
rable Representative had DESERTED his par!
and been PURCHASED UP by mon'ed 'n'''
tuition, had not the fact been stated by 'ha' H'
preventative himself. We are curious 10 S"O'
! the name of this officer, and should be sorry l0
the good opinion we entertain Of Mr. "'''''"''
should he let the matter rest here.
