"CLAWING OFF,

Tho Pennsylvania Inquirer, the Jackson Van
Buren organ in Philadelphia, has steadily and un-
Quali6edly persisted in the assertion that tho Pre-
sdont pouId sign the Bank Bill. From the follow
ing article i'll that paper of Saturday, some doubt
is evidently implied of the result though it is still
apparent the EDITORS confidence predominatcs.
What we wish to point the readers attention to,
is the hole which is opened for the President to
crawl out at. He has, says the Inquirer "onIy ex-
pressed himself opposed TO the Bank as at present
organized. The bill from the Senate, is u different
affair altogether, from the present charter"
Early in the winter, predicted that the course
OF the Presidents party would DO this to stavc off
the bill if possible, until after the election; but if
they were defeated in that, then to present one,
which, somewhat different from the present, would
enable him to take the ground which the Inquirer
here preoccupics for hun. The new charter may
be great deal than the old; but if Mt all diff
ferng, it enables the President to say this is not
the charter to which expressed myself opposed.
Such is the unworthy, dcceitful, jcsuitica and pct
.ifogg;ng system of tactics which prevails at the
Palace. What motive, too, is assigned for his ap-
prevail of the Bill? Why to indulge Pcnnsylvania--
nothing
But, let the Inquirer remember, that the Presi.
dent has declared the Bill unconstitutional If we
are not mistaken, evidence of that fact may be
found in tho columns of neighboring print
1.-THE BANK-TIIE VETO
"a fortnight longer, at the utmost, will proba-
bly, terminate the discussion of the Bank Bill in the
popular branch of the National Legislature. 1t will
then pass to the President for his signature. On
viewing the whole of the Chief Magistrate
npon the subject, and taking that in connex-
aon with public opinion and the modified form in
which the Bill will be brought before him, it is
highly probable, we think, that he will sign it. Gen
M Onl gad hinca TO- Tho
Shank of the United States present organized.
The Bill which passed the Senate is different af.
fair altogether from that under which the insti,u.
ton at present exists The Chief Magistrate may
therefore sign the Bill without being liable in
any sense to the charge of inconsistency; and as he
has never expressed determination to place his
veto against the institutions but the contrary as
we understand his last message, has resolved per-
NIT the representatives of the people TO decide the
question, we confident that his conduct finally
will be such as to please and satisfy Pennsylvania
awe can assure the President and his friends
that so far as Pennsylvania is concerned the Bank
question is not of political character although
tho enemies of the Administration strive to render
so. 1t is natural they should, nine-tentls of
the voters throughout this Commonw calth arc
friendly to the Bank, and certainly have an or
roneous view of the case, if the majority of those
ninc-tenths are not also favorable to the Admins
traton of the General Government. The poor as
well as the rich; the radical the reformer, the de-
mocrat and the federalist, if there arc any among
US that still answer to that appcation, all in
favor of the United States Bank, because they be-
liere it valuable, if not indispensable institution
and because many Of them well remember the form.
or unfortunate state of the currency, or have had
occasion to travel or make remitanccs from one
part of the country to tho other and knoir that to
them at least, the Bank has been of essential
vice. In short, confident that if President
Jackson desired to infct blow upon Penn
syivania, and if could suppose so unnatural a
thing as to think, he further desired that the blow
should fall with more severity upon his friends
than upon his enemies, then and then only would
he veto the Bill to renew the charter of the Bank
of the United States. That he will not, however
we feel every confidence, and and it is therefore
we would advise friends to pay little heed to
the reports OF contrary character which the vio-
lent and the factious busily endeavorng to
circulate IN order to nure the President, in
Jure the Bank.
''Sincc writing the above, we have received a
letter from the publisher of this journal, present
at Washington. He says ''rhe Bank Bill has
been made the special order of the day for Mon
day next. Its friends are sangune with regard
to its final passage-thc majority is estimated at
from ten to fifteen The tide of representative OPT
Mon, at present, is evidently in its favor. Warn,
speeches are expected from two of the ma
jority members of the Investigating Committee,
who arc understood TO be preparing themselves for
the onslaught. They will be met ably and con-
clusiveiy by Messrs. Adams and McDuf1ie. There
are various opinions in circulation here touching
the veto of the President. From all that can hear
he will not oppose the wishes of Pennsylvania
should a ma jority Of the Representatives vote in
favor of the rc-chartcr.
al learn from distinguished Senator, that the
chances for an adjustment of the 'vcxed' Tariff
question, have increased within the last fortnight
The modification, however, will not be so full as
that proposed by the Secretary Of the Treasury,
by Ex-President Adams; but that some important
modification will be effected during the present SEES
sion, apPe' - to be f;;lly ascertained.
The President enjoys excellent healtl-is as 10
vial, social and earnest republican as any i'm the

rylvania, and will not thwart their wishes"
