we insert to-day MIR SHADES apology fol
voting in the negative on the resolution
against recharter of the bank. The
apology is on the wrong side. Mi Slade
would less need an apology, and would
haye more fully sustained his reputation
for consistency, had all his votes relative
10 the bank been of similar charac-
ter. Such, too, from present indications,
seems to be the opinion Of his constituents
Candidates are out for different offices
throughout the district; none of them, at
least livery few, have attempted to gain pop
ularity by avowing opposition to the bank
1.-The current Of feeling sets in contrary
direction. Even the exclusive democratic
candidate for congress, who INDUCES some
Pint hopes Of occupying Mr. SHADES seat,
declares himself Of opinion that national
bank Of some description is necessary,
and pledges himself, if elected, to vote for
modified charter of the present bank, or
for a substitute, should proposition for one
be brought forward. #
Mr.. s. manages his card with some inge-
nuity. When candidate, he saw that the
people Of his district were in favor Of re-
charter. and pledged himself to vote for it,
mot fully understanding, perhaps, the
lengths to which he would be required to
90, in order to be reckoned among the faith
sul. And true, WHOM worst comes to worst,
he votes for re-charter, but in every 9th
er question involving the interests, rights,
and even the existence itself Of the bank,
p he goes the whole against it. This, Mr..
slade may call redeeming his pledge-it
may satisfy his conscience, but we doubt
whether i; will satisfy his constituents.

escape, and thereby avoid the punish>
