.4notter fair business transaction-A letter to the ID
itor of the Washington Globe, dated Pittsburgh Sept
&c. signed by two respectable citizens of that city SAYS
"Mr. Wilson, halter in this city, went to the
POST Office and enquired if there were anv letter
or him; one of the Clerks handed him a letter
addressed to James Wilson, that being the name
oi the applicant. Onopenng the letter, Mr.. W.

President of the Bank of the u S., for $3.50 on
the Branch IN this city. MIR. w handed the let

no, It IS not for You, st IS for Mr. james Wilson,
the Editor of the Pennsylvania Adyocate.' Tie
letter was then re-seaIed and delivered to the
bank Editor. The letter having been read in
the hearing of several individuals, we can pin the
matter upon the Coffin Handful Editor and his
new master: he will not be able to swear himself
out OF this scrape."

TIE UNITED STATES BANK, &c.
The report of the committee appointed to ex.
anime into the affairs of the United States Bank,
having been at length received, VIC de7ote con-
siderable portion of this weeks paper to its pub
LEGATION. We regret our inability to publish it
entire-ihe remainder, about four or five columns
shai; appear in our next This report unfolds u
scene of gambling and specula,ion--of down
~ioh anb'ushing iniamy, hocus pocus and impos-
ture, which should fill the MUD of every honest
American with shame and ifdignation-and
should cause our representatives to tear from the
statnte book of the nation the license uuder which
such infamv and fraud have been engenaered and
practised. IL other words, the violated charter
of that niquitous institution should at orce be de-
clared extinct, and its corrupting influence des-
|treyed. But we invite the public to read the
statements for ihemselves--and after they have
read it, let them console themselves if they can
with the reflection, that il has enabled the Presi-
dent of the Bank 10 make his 80, 900, and ceriair,
directors and their friends to riot In wealth, that
they have been shaved and plundcred, and ground
'lnwn almost to dust and ashes. People of the
West--debtors to the government--have we not
repeatedly told you that you we're imposed upon
that you were preyed upon by sharpcrs and
l-pc ,ulators? What say YOU now?
