Union, general governnent-an iniperiun mperio,
unknown TO the Constitution, deiying il power laughing
at its restrictions, scorng its principles, pointing to
its golden vaults the weapon that will execute its
whenever shall be necessary TO them into action
On the 10th of the month, Mr.. Webb continues
thus:
"Tho U. s. Bank altogether turned into great
political Notwithstanding parties and concering mea-
sures Tor the destruction OF the democratic government Of
our country 1t full time TO look the full in the
face"
Again, on the 18th of March, of the same year. Mr..
Webb saws:
"The great Mammoth Bank Erening Journal (bonus
$4,000 is all at once polite TO the working men, and
vses them TO shake hands all round The National Bank
men know how TO squceze-hey squseze the life blood
out of every working and producer in the nation
The above are the unbought opinions of Mr. Webb ex-
pressed before the "sube poison with its 'whering'
influence had been extended to him, and pre- TO his
being bought up, like cattle in the market
From abou, the goth March 10 the 9th April 1891 the
Courier and Enquirer silent the subject OF the Bank
when the latter day. TO the of every BODY
turned somerset and broke ground in favor OF re-

Many attributed it to brbc but the editors declared the

conducted, made their report, when To- appeared that
Messrs Webb S Noah had received from the Bank i'm
the form OF loans, $52972. This unravellcd the
mystery and that which before all matter ospecu,
ton, at once came TO light
From that time forward the Courier s. Enquirer con.
nued TO support the Bank and also advocate the re
election OF General Jackson until the Veto made il ne
ccssary for il 70 choose between ANDREW JACKSON
and the UNITED STATES BANK. The course of Mr.
Webb was resolved but he restrained for
while by Mr. Noah, his partner, from taking open part
II therefore became necessary that Mr. Ms interest should
be exnguishcd. Mr. Noah's interest being done avav
Mr. Webb hauls down the Jackson Gag and run, I'D tba,
OF tho Bank, and boldly in its favor with long
address to the public in which he tries Justify the sa-
crifce Of his principles 10 his interest.
We could quote many Of his savings on this prolific
subject, but we hope the above will DO sufficient 70 ay
his impudent denial of having written line against
the Bank, and will prove 10 those individuals who have
been so active 10 procure subscribers TO his paper the full
value OF the acquisition OF James Watson Webb to their
desperate cause 1t is not only drowning catching
sraws, but its like drowning wretch graspina al SONG
thing that Precipitaes his fate.
