We understand that the follow ing
Banks have been selected BY the Sec
Rotary Of the Treasury, for the deposite
Of the money OF the United States, in
the places where they are respectively
situated. The change to be made on
the first Of October next:
Baltimor-The Union Bank ol
Maryland.
Ph;ladelphia-The Girard Bank.
New York-The Mechanics Bank.
DO. The Manhattan Company.
do. The Bank Of America.
Boeton-The Commonwealth Bank.
DO. The Merchants Bank.
We understand that another Bank
will be added in Philadelphia, AS soon
as the proper inquiries and arrange
mcnts can be made, and probably, also,
another in New York-and that the
necessary preparations are in progress
for Carrying the measure into fall ef-
feet in other places, rs speedily rs prac-
ticable.

surprise on reading the foregoing. Is 10
perceive that the Manhattan Company
is among the Banks selected. Tha,
Institution, it is VIGOROUSLY well
known, is literally a foreign Bank in
the sense used by the President in his
Veto Message, and yet in defiance Of
the principles advocated in that docu-
ment, We see it selected for the pnr-
pose OF being the depository of the
Government Funds! II the Bank Of
the U. States is unworthy Of the conf
dence OF the Executive o0ccause one

same reasoning apply toan Institution,

property Of Foreigners! Bot this is

this oversight in our state policy, they attribute,
and Justly attribute the mournful aspect which our
state presents, both morally and physically, when
compared with our sister Republics. tits equal
ly we'll understood that, the completion OF few
important works Of internal improvement, such
as are entirely within the ability Of the state to
effect, would convert our apathy into activity,
our sIo,h into enterprise, and our rePinings into

derstood and felt by our citizens, and they would
awake from their lethargy and either through the
medium of the Legislature whose deliberations
they can control. or BY other means equally with.
in the power of a sovereign people. secure to
themselves those advantages which have hitherto
been denied them.

these States contended against the ignorance,
