1t is well known, that there is but one
individual living who signed the Dec
laration of independence, viz. Charles
Carroll, of Maryland. He is now at a
very advanced age, being upwards of
ninety years, and has survived that me-
morable transaction nearly fifty-seven
years.
1t is also a remarkable fact, that there
is but one member of the convention of
l7S7 living, whose name was affixed to
the constitution of the United States
viz. James Madison, of Virginia, late
President Of the United States. 1t will
be forty-fve years the next September
since the Constitution was formed.

GE-As we cannot find room for the Re
port of the investigating committee on the
Bank of the United States, we give the fol-
lowing view Of its contents by an opponent
THE u. S. BANK REPORT.
1t sets forth that the provisions of the
charter have been violated in the fol-
lowing cases:
|. In relation to usury.
2. In relation to the issuing of branch
orders, as a circulation.
3. The selling coin, and particularly
| American coin.
( 4 The sale of stock obtained from
government under special acts of con-
gress.
5. Making donations for roads and
canals, and other objects.
6. Building houses to rent or sell, and
erecting other structures in aid of that
object.
The report also prefers sundry charg-
es OF mal-adininistration, one of which
is based upon several loans to the edit
ors of the New-York Courier and En-
quirer, amounting in the aggregate to
the sum of$52, 975; made under circum-
stances which we cannot help thinking
authorize strong suspicious that there

as strongly and decidedly in its favor.
