Fellow-Ci,izens, you know it has been echoed

Treasury, ut the instance Of the President gave
the Bank the pretext for the ruin brought upon the
country by its operatlons-tha, the President was
therefore censurablc, and il would seem, the Bank
justified for IT'S course. We are astonishcd at the
injustice of this charge against the President and
