THE BANK-THE HERO-AND HIS TWO
CABINETS

1.-THE BANK.-The impression, on "Wednesday.
among his personal friends, that the President
would celebrate the 4ths of July by signing n veto
on the Bank Bill. Instead of doing this he commu

Priatlng more than million for Internal Improve

secure to his support, the conflicting opinions and
opposing interests of the country. They were de-
termined to expose the hollowness of his yauntcd
claim to ''frahknoss," and to test his boosted at

behold. The ''frank" gentleman must perforce, re-
sign Pennsylvania by vetoing, or damn himsefstill
deeper with the South, by approving. This we
say was motive strong and good enough, to impel
the passage of the Bank Bill at this session, although
accompanied by the certainty of veto.
Upon another subject, that of Improvements, he
has also been subjected anew to the touchstone-

How often has Virginia been assured that Jackson
was "with her" on Internal improvements! How
often has the Maysville veto been exultngly ap.

Congress, at which Gen. Jackson sanctioned vari

We congratulate the friends of candor and fair
play, upon the exquisite dilemma in which the
Bank Bill has placed jackson and his two Cabi
nets. Never has there been such case since thai
of st. Thomas Aquina' ass. The game we 4
derstand, is, as he has the Constitutional privilege
of keeping the Bill by him for ten days, that he
should claim its full benefit in the hope that his
portizans can compass adjournment before he
is under the necessity of votoing or approving
This is the last card, and that falling as fail il
will, the "frank" old man must march up to the
crisis.
