MoRE BANK INsoLENcE.-The National Gazette
contains long editorial article upon the subject of
proposed investigation into the situation OF the Bank the
object Of which Is to prejudice the public mind against the
members oil Congress who composed the majority OF the
Investigating Committed, aud who agreed to the report,
which the conduct Of the Directors Tor refusing
TO submit 10 investigation. The principal objection
which is urged. is. that they but little known.
But Il seems they sufficiently known to enable the
editor OF the Gazette 10 collect together four columns
personal abuse against them. VIVA others may think
of the matter, appears TO to be great piece oil
solence the part Bank aud It's intimate
that they should have been permitted prescribe what
cuar members OF Congress should have been selected to
compose the Committee oi TO asail those
who have been selected Tor the purpose the ground
OF their being little known Aud, besides, seems
10 be singular objection. They men. IL would APP
who suxccniiy known aud respected ia their
different districts to have received majority OF the votes
oil the people, and the chosen, legal qua sd repre-
senaiives Of the people, aud ened respect suc
aud they appear have been sufficiently known ia Con-
gress 10 have been selected Tor the performance OF the
duty which assigned u the Committee; and they
we've a.saed by the Bank presses before they entered
upon the discharge OF the duty assigned TO them, the poba
biy Il, that they were better known even to the Bank
men, Than they wished them 10 be; Tor they had been
unknown 10 iem iey could not have objected 10 them,
snd they would not have objected 10 te they had no,
had believe that nothing hey coul say against
then, would have had any effect upon the course they
would be likely To pursue.
Our principal object however in no icing the article Of
the Gazette is show that the bank has violated 8
rule, and The rule upon which the directors professedy
refused TO submit their books examination, which is
arepugnance to dvulge the private the
bank; as the Gazette publishes extract oil letter to
the bank, alleged TO have been written by Mr. Lyle,
applying Tor ioan aud threatening with decided oppo
s,ion IL the apple alton refused. Now such letter
was written, aud II il was written il is among
the private correspondence oi the bank Ii 10 Is
proper dvuge the private ndence OF the bank
1irec
tors have refused 10 submit this private
animation upon ground that would b. imp, oper; and
yet the Gazette alleges that such letter by Mr.
Lyle aud has published extract from the letter which
he Is alleged TO have written, which the editor could have
obtained from other than the bank itself But
the editor states the name OF The writer to be john y
tie, and the name OF the gentleman whom he ss.sils
AMI 10 whom he attributes the letter, is Robert H. Lyle
And besides, Mr. Lyle had little appre Of any
difficulty that might arise to himself from the
oil such letter, that he anxious to have the whole
respondence examined. The probability refore is
that II Mr. Lyle had any matter attributed
To him, the whole letter. IL presented public view
would Afford very different appearances and that while
the Directors OF the Bank pe'end TO feel adherence
the idea Of dvugng private correspondence, they have
not only violated their princip, but have given
garbed extract from this letter, Tor the purpose preu
dicng the public mind against the OF the letter.
TO our view, therefore, this article the Gazette pre-
sen's us with additional evidence agns, the Bank and
shows additional reason why the correspondence should

Another Panic Mouement.-The Memorial OF the late
Harrisburg Convention presented aud read in Sc

all the powers of language which tho author Of il could

ced that scarcity. Is owing to its having been export

alter The panic having frequently alleged that
the price OF grain bad been greatly depressed conse
quence OF the removal Of the deposes they should
tell The flour has fallen price IL. that there
Is scarcity Of the article. There such an

Again. after charging the President with an usurpaion
oil power in ordering removal OF The deposes, aud
tending that the control OF The money altogether in
tie hands OF Congress- the memorial alleges that IL they
IAN 10 order restoration Of the drpoN'es they too will
participate in the violation OF the Consiu and rvs
the country The result of This argument would appear
10 he that IN the judgment Of the emoriass any oppo

no mater IN what department OF the government that OPP
position may make its appearance, violation OF the
Cons ntion and Laws, aud that il Congress refuse TO

awful and tremendous violation Of the Constitution and
Laws OF the couDiry.-Ib.
The Telegraph makes the following remark in regard
TO the Speakers elections:
The election OF Mr.. Bell is sore defeat TO the Ki,ch-
no had paraed in the lobby House in all their
strength. Kendall, Lewis Blair and the whole concern
were there's and rrmored that Mr. Polk
was their candidate than he abandoned by many Who
who, but Tor that circumstance, would have given him
decided pre ference We know and could MANY
votes that would have gone Tor Mr. Polk had enla
and Lewis made their appearance in the Hal OF the
House."
This i, all deception MIR Kendall assures us that he
did not say word upon the subject the election or
press any preferences his part Tor any the
dates freniiy to the Adninst alton the her Ma
Jpr lswis Is known TO have been inciinsd rather Mr.
Bells election than Mr. PoIks and for oursei we can
say, that although present during part OF the baIoiing
yet did offer solitary suggestion to member Of
the House upon the subject.
Now we would ask the Telegraph TO "designaie" the
names OF the members who "abandoned Mir. Polk be-
Kendall aud Lewis made their appearance in the
Hail. Ii either OF them had expressed pre- Tor
Mr.. Polk, cannot believe that any friends Of the Ad.
Ininstraion would have abandoned him that account
and we are informed, since the election that he the
vote Of bn, other. We therefore call OH the Tee-
graph to speak out--"designote" who abandoned Mr.
Polk the ground that the friends OF the Admins
traiion named, favored his pfeensions.-- Globe.
