The Arkansas advocate., 1834-06-13

J. Q. Adams, the t'.Stfoitiag C0mmatee,1 , have adjourntd from Philadelphia to Wash ington. Their last movement vas to sunl- mon the directors of the Bank, to attend upon them with all their books and business. The books and papers were refused. and thereupon tie adjournment took place. The Philadelphia ntelligeneer thus speaks of their proceedings:
 "Ihe eafih lath bubbles, og tte aeotsr hath, '2,'d titts ss {5'Tasoal.''
 Since he irriYal of the Bank Committee in this city, heir singular course has given rise to vanou rumors, several of which have crept into the papers. 1t length these re- ports assume less questionable shape, and exhibit the conduct or the committee m a light altogether discreditable. IT IS NOW OBVIOUS THAT THE COMMITTEE NEVER IN TENDED ENTGE9NG INTO AN EXAMINATION or THE AocoUNTs. It is they who have shsaaa6 from te test-not the Bank-theu came here detahfned 10 erods the investiod- lion. and, if pfsiblet to throw the censure upon the institt ion. They, therefore, made demands so nonstrous and unjust, that they knew they would be declined How ever, had the government of the bank been so torgettul of the duty they owe to truth, to justice, andto the interest of their con stltuents, the stockholders, as to have sub- mitted 10 the dbmands of the Committee 1t would have Ayailed them notbing.

 It seems tha on Saturday the committee sent to the Bank, and demanded that the books and papers should be taken to the Nefth Americin Hotel, accompanied by the directors who were there, to answer all oues- tons that miglt be proposed to them. The directors attended the committee in body, but refused to comply with the demands of the committee. They stated that the busi- ness of the Bank, involving the interests of thousands, coud d not be suspended for such purpose: that no law authorized such an invasion of ther privileges. They express seq then willingness to submit thelr books ana fecordsto any investigation in their pro- per place, and to answer any ouestions a5 dressed to them in writing, This last course, :. ail imitation of great example, they thought II proper to make in order to avoid misre- presentation This game of the committee Will not succeed. We are no bank nart- Zans' but We cannot shut our eyes to inc iact that this illiberal, and we rnns: add h!idish and contemptible policv---eannot . but serve the bank.
