MR. INGuAM--U. S. BANK.

/ ~A iHGBAM--C 0ANE.
Mr.. INGHAM has appeared, IN pub
lication Of length, on the subject of the
alleged interference of the Administration
with the management Of the United
States Bank. He says 'the Secretary
OF the Treasury is exclusively RESPONSE
bic for all the sentiments contained in
his correspondence; ;" and denies any at
tempt to make it a party machine. He
says, when he entered the Treasury
Department, he found the President of
''the United States had imbided strong
prejudices against the u. S. Bank, and
was decidedly opposed to the existence
of that institution, as (he) understood,
on grounds of expediency alone" Mr..
Ingham intimates that his object was to
prevent the Bank from becoming par.
ty machine. That is to say, we pre-
sumo lest it might get upo ! one side, Mr..
l. wished to draw it 10 the other.
He seems good deal out of temper
with Mr.. Adams; for bringing the trans
action to light; and thus cuts right and
left at both Mr.. A. aud Gen. jackson
"Of Mr.. Adams, however unwarrant-
able his attack on me. it seems most fit
that should say as little as possible
A great man has said of him, "that be
could not see the truth )" this case is a
striking example of the wisdom of that
observation. | can scarcely be provok-
ed to recrimination the most exalted
tribunal in the world has passed upon
his public character; and so anxious
was that tribunal to execute its senttnce,
that it has, with less consideration, |
fear, put much worse man in lis place."
