THE QUESTION.
The Deposit and the Recharier Questions, though
distinct in themselves, have now become indissobjy
connected by the force Of circumstances. This view
OF the matter Inns been strongly presented by two
OF the gentlemen, who took part ~ the Charleston
>. Z. meeting, which was called by the Chamber of
Commerce, to denouncc the removal of the Depo-
sites. AT this meeting, which was held on Monday,
the 18th, MIR. ID. Alexander, the President of the
chamber Of Commerce, wished to discover the qnes-
t'ons and to avoid all expression of opinion on the
sun]ect oil the re-charter of the Bank. What said
