rectly home TO every man ia the State. II the friends Of
the Bank could spend sr months in collecting their potes
and Instructions, and In sending them before Congress,
expressive OF their will upon the subject OF the public
distress, and the necessity OF an elong alton OF the charter
OF that Institution, cannot the friends of the Adminis,ra-

they have exhausted the superlaive phrases Of Billings
gate upon us as a party, and spared no name dishoDorable

these things may be carried, depends perhaps more upon
our own vindicaton OF our own strength as a party, and
