THE BANK-lTs PLANS DEVELOPED
The interest which has been manifested during the
last few days in this city by the Democrats from every
part of the Onion assembled here relation pros
pect OF the Bank being echartered by the Legislature
OF the State of Pennsylvs is without a parallel
The inquiries first made, are, what is the news
from Pennsylvania? Will the Bank succeed in obtain-
ing are-chartcr' Our reply is, we hope not; but,
several have been led abandon their creeds and
principles through the influence of bribery and corrup

While the Anti--Masons in many of the other States
are as bodies uniting themselves and acting with the
Democracy OF the nation what do in the Lcgis

those who have been warning upon sociees and
dragging persons from their families and homes at an
Indictment season of the year under Legislative man
date, TO dvulge that which themselves alone

same individuals, the most active in advocating the
charter of the Bank aud urging extraordinary meetings
Tor the purpose oil hurrying the Bank charter through
the House Of Representatives of Pennsylvania. Where
is there TO be found odious dangerous
more secret power in country than that of the Bank
OF the United States!-An institution which requires
from all its clerks and servants, the taking of oath,
administered in the most solemn manner, faithfully to
Keep the secrets Of the Bank
What but direct bribery have efcc ted such de-

rates in secret of sufficient force induce Legislators
to abandon the principles which they have protested

Governor McDuie for the aphorism, SHE people
TO BE Corrupted. He had whole congressional
messes, composed of men who elected by people
opposed to the Bank, and coming here its opponents,
and yet closing their its most devoted adherens
We refer 10 the Pondextcr mess Session of 1881
which included his Bank endorser AT that Session. the
Bank succeeded in carrying rechatcr through both
Houses of Congress; and which, but for the rmness of
the President, and his of that BILL would have
honed the po,entae on the Frustrated principles of the
Republic.

National Legislature, and the corrupons which be-
leve followed the employment of them, prepared

Senate in the Legislature stands twentyone Democrats
