see whether their substantial interests made any more
secure, and the great institutions and objects Of the Ge-

NOUS action OF the States with it in any degree strength
cned or advanced, by the new, and fcar hazardous
experiment, in our political system; which is attempted
by the temporary disposal of the surplus.
We will assurcdIy hope the best results from it 10

to promote them; but dread The worst from the strug-

We may add as other reasons, that the bill deprlves
the Wings Of the preext Of sounding panic note
on the dangers to which the public money is exposed
Of being 7castcd by the Banks-or ubusrd by the Execu
tive; the dangers which the Opposite Banks may
be exposed of being controlled by the Executive as
to employ their influence their customers and The
community, for the political purposes Of the party. And
above ALL il puts TO rest all that miserable slang about
MIR. Van Burens using the surplus for his cleo
oneerng designs great deal Of stuff has also been pu
forth, about his attempting 10 call down the veto upon
the bill-hs saying about what "a had box had got
n,o," &c. &c. When the surplus panc-n,akers come
10 know the true history Of this transaction, they may be
surprised to learn the part which MIR. " B. has had in
bringing about the compromise in the BILL We have
very little doubt that the preceding articles in the Globe
fully express his opinions. However they as
likely 10 hear all these things from his lips, from
other quarters Nous rerr0nsi
One thing MORE and we have done. The Wings talk
Of divisions in ranks; and expect much comfort and
assistance from the alleged schsms between Rvcs and
Benton, &c. &c. They deceived in their calcua
tons. Men who honestly differ upon such question, are
not going to quarrel about it and denounce each other
There is now no cmper, jarring splitting in our
ranks. The ciicrvcscencc of the moment has passed
away The question Of this Deposite Bill is for The pre-
sent set,Icd-Wc will moi fall among ourselves, and
throw a single ally into The ranks of the Coalition The
hope which they form upon divisions is therefore
empty bubble.
