The New York Evening Post has given a severe
Professor (OOnpr Tho do,

It, But the Judge is not singular i'm his abominabe
notions, that President Bidde would have been
traitor TO his trust, if he had not dipped his hands
into the funds of the Bank and without any con-
sent on the part of the stockholders, or on the part
OF the Government of the u. States applied them 10
purpose which was never contemplated by the
charter of the institution. He would have been
traitor TO his trust, if he had not applied thousands
ct dollars to the circulation of papers prepared for
the Bank! lie will be a traitor, perhaps if he does
not strike an edition of $4,000 of these late Political
tracts OF Judge Cooper. He would have been n

OF the Bank, or employ mercenary corps of scri.y-
blers TO write in behalf Of lis charter He might
nave been traitor, if the judge had asked gratni-

spontaneous ZEAL to WELD his pen i'm the service of
the Bank and It's Golfers had not been tapped for his
remuneration Is this tire amount OF the Professors

has presses nimical to its renewal has il not presses
devoted TO it! Has it more Presses on its side
than against? Has not more been spontaneously
published in favor, tan in opposition? The fact
therefore, on which the whole soplism rests il nj
