THE CARD.
The Billet which appeared i'm this paper or the
ISL INST, addressed to NICHOLAS BIppLr. Esq
PRESIDENT the Bank of the L. S." has underyone
singular fate. The article was commonwealth - me-
ny friend OF the Bank-wth some doubt on his
part whether we would publish it-but we were do
'ermlned to give him fair play in his proposition.
whether he meant it seriously, or i'm iest-thongh

proposition could avail the Bank even if il were
carried IN Congress. We could scarcely sIpnose
the writer very serious i'm suggesting such an appIi

but taking him in his own vein we demonstrated h,

likely 1t was that Mr.. Biddle or his friends in
Oonsress coud OBTAIN any thing from the President

dignity to make such application TO the President
we presumed indeed 1t never would be made-and
attempted TO show how utterly ridiculous II wouJ

measure.
With this object in view the communicated letter
went FORTH with our reply to the same. And how
have they been treated?-Eyrst the National Intel

good thing, and the proposition as one which ought

In vain, we might say, that we published il in cour
csy 10 irlend OF the Bank, and in respect to the
freedom OF the Press.-In vain, we might saw we
could scarcely treat the article seriously and tiat i'm

rress and friends of the Bank.-We are to be
burnt us lleretcs because we published such tbng
aa-or as others say, because we did not not spnd

principle of the proposition.-l,ut this matter has
Deeh so well handled by our friend of the
New Y ork Standard that we bep leave TO odon, rho
following structures from his pen, in place of of
lerInS any further remarks from our own:

whole article proceeds on The ASSUMPTION that Inc b,
and the Daily Indignantly and loiIy declares that the
compliance by Congress, would be mean abiect and
sI'vish submission TO arbitrary power-and that the
President has no right 10 demand ihs' from ten
than some other absurd thing. Aud SO, with vehement
TRADE about the abuse OF the veto power and the
am oil e Executive TO concentrate all power in his own
grasp, II concludes declaring il would rather see the
bank anhihated than that Congress should so degrade
ITSELF Now the uninstructed reader who is oloSn,

usurper That is cOnsprng against our remaining liner
lies, would never guess what is the real foundation
upon which the Daily has erected this column OF clumsy
