THE BANK.

The House having taken up the bill from the
Senate (see proeesdngs) rechartering the Bank on
tuesday, an effort was made to postpone it by those
who tenderiy desire to relieve the President from
the equally threatening consequences of approving
or Veto!ng. The motion defeated-ll1 to SO.
and thus says the National Intelligencer, the bill
has escaped the first danger which menaced it.
The Telegraph has the following comments:-

yesterday, by vote of III to SO refused to Law

bank We do not consider this vote by any means
as expressing the opinions of those who voted in
the negative be in favor of the bill as we know
that some of them decidedly opposed to it, and
VIII vote against it's passage Yet, our opinion
inciines to the belief that the bill will pass and we
bavc lost all hope that it will receive the Presi-
dents veto, Ill case it does"

himself on the forgiveness, fcalty and guiibity of
Virginia and the South?
