The PtsJurg Mercury denounccs the scheme in long
and eloquent article and hopes for escape. "There is

a majority elected while the Bank openly in the

whole nation will be upon them, with the knowledge
that their integrity will be put to the proof and the
certainty that the purse which bestow two
millions upon the State, just readily appropriate
million among her Senators. Wo to the rccrean de-
mocrat who shall waver from his faith! His motives
will be as apparent as the noon day sun; and his name

Reporter says, the Senate is composed Of 81 Demo
Gratis and twelve Ant-masonic Federal Bank Wings.
From this body, containing such decided Democratic

aud to it they look the citadel of freedom not TO he
purchased by the gold Of the British Bank. We must

the Democratic members Of the Senate and though it
is probable that $50, O00 $4,000 vote would

newspapers which expose the hypocrisy Of the title of
an act, which in providing monopoly through which
Nicholas Bddle and Board Of Directors may impose
millions by indirect taxation, yet assumes to repeal ex
pring taxes, aud thus comes in the shape OF an act OF
