MIR. RIDDLES CIRCULAR POWER or ATroR-
NEy.-We have received from remote quarter from
stakeholder of the Bank of the United States who
is good Republican to sacrifice the Government of
his country to advance his pecuniary interests another
copy of Bdde's circular and power. II seems they
have been sent upon the wings Of the wind in every d.
rection, to concentrate absolute authority over tho
whole institution and all its means, in the hands of Nj

BASK OF THE U. SrArrs--we return again and
again to the almost incredible fact that State Legisla

thrice rejected by the National Legislature!
The idea OF charering this institution for PenRsyira
mia. is not suggested in the proceedings ills an
open, direct palpabe charter of The Bank Of the o.
States, for the whole u. States; the same name the
capital; the powers and privileges with additional
added and nothing altered but removal of some
restrictions and making difficult if inposs
ble To examine the conduct of the Bank Not single
amendment, introduced into the Te-charer passed
Congress in 1892 is introduced in this State charter; not
even the restriction issuing notes below the denom
ton OF twenty dollars, which Mr. Webster himself
moved in the Senate, and unanimously agreed in
that body.
Pennsylvania has no use for bank of 80 millions
and the cessation of this Bank would not draw that
amount, nor the seventh part of il, from her banking
capital The Bank Of the United States has
ployed more than about the sixth seyentll Of her
capital in the State. At Philadelphia about five or six
millions have been employed and at Pttsbug about
million. The monthly statements prove this fact and
common proves il also; for the Bank had 2J
branches in different States, all Of which employed por
tons of IFS capital, and of them MS at New York
and New Orleans did much or much more business
