HOW THEY UNDERSTOOD 1T.

We are under obligations to Mr. Senator
Wright for having called our attention to the
opinions ofthe Great Architects who framed our
Republican Edfice, on the subject of a Nation
al Bank. In Mr. virgins speech, proclaiming
the future course the Government, and the
monied concerns of the country, we noted, spe-
cially, the following PASSAGE
He Mr. Wright knew Of nothing which
could induce him to vote for the chartering ola
National Bank. He should oppose the re-char-
ter of the present Bank, on account Of its open
and fragrant violations of its charter. And he
should vote against the chartering OF the pre-
sent Bank, or of any Bank, by Congress, whe-
Their it was to be situated at Philadelphia at
NewYork or in any other of the States. He
was so opposed, on the broad ground that Con-
gress had not the constitutional power to char
ter any Bank. He might be too sanguine, but
he July believed that, In addition 30 the nvalua-
bic services which had been rendered to the
country by the President Of the United States,
he was yet destined, by Providence, 10 render
one service which would eclipse all that had
preceded it, by bringing back the Constitution 10
the construction intended to be giren to 1t by the
wise men who framed 1t, and by the People aoho
adopted It,"
Of course, as the question ofthe constitutions
ality of National Bank is the subject of which
the Senator is treating the fresh harvest of glo-
nv is to be acquired by General Jackson, by
struction 1rhich The lrise men Who framed 1t, IN
tended 1t should receire UPON THIS POINT" Be it
our provice, then to ascertain holr those Z" wise
men" themselves construed the constitution,
then fresh from their hands, UPON this great
question.

My colleague did not as kindly suggest that
this ought to have been done, until he MENTION
ed it in his remarks on this hoor but another
colleague most kindly and delicately did,
through another person, suggest to me that 1t
ought to be done: and now, as is my duty,
must tell my colleague, and this House, and my
constituents, the reason why Mr.. Randolphs
death was not here announced. But can't tell
the reason why his death was not announced,
without telling whatI told a friend that should
say, in case did"-
Here Mr.. BoULDIN saoooned, fell, and in a fen
minutes after EXPIRED.
1t was distressing circumstance that the Ia
dy of Judge BoULDN was in the gallery of the
House, and a beholder Of the appalling scene
The sensation produced was extreme, and eX-
cited to the highest, by the appearance of Mrs.
Bouldin in the Hall; when she approached him,
and found that all attempts to restore life were
in vain the bereaved and almost distracted la
dy, pierced the Hail with her shreks. She was
borne from the Hall---and her husbands re-
mains were carried to the Speakers room to
await the order Of the House in relation to his
funeral.
