economy in the expenditures of the govern

ia manner that will best promote the inter.

actions, and inspire the hearts Of my fellow
citizens, that we may he preserved from dan

This bill, which was designed merely as a

our readers are already aware. the House of
Representatives declared, by vote of con-
siderably more than two TO one, upon the re-

and Means, their confidence ir the Bank Of
the United States. A still stronger tcstimo-
ny in favor of that Institution, however. was
borne by the Senate. upon the recommenda-
ton of the Committee of Finance, of that
body, seconded again by the House of Rep
