to this struggle must succeed The
battle has long since commenced. The
bank party buckled on their armour
and gathered orlhe fight from Tue very
date Of the suspension Of specie pay

Isity Of d National Bank. They take
advantage Of the pressure of the times,
TO illustrate their favorlte position that
a United States Bank IS necessary and
proper to enable the government to
collect and disburse its revenues. They
are, indeed, endeavoring to extort from
the distresses Of the people their che
Tished expedient, and thus To renew
the acknowledgment and exercise DC
the Old federal doctrine Of expediency
and broad construction.
With the State Rights party, it Isl
surely 40 important consideration upon
which banner victory shall perch. IF
a bank is again chartered; what is fhe
consequence? The recognition at once
of the worst and most Federal Of all
doctrine that whatever Congress
may, IN its supreme wisdom, deciareto
be necessary and proper Is consti-
tutlonal Of necessity. The next step
will be the resuscitation of the system
of internal improvements and the tariff,
and all other mad schemes of national
policy which the mere opinion of Con
sgress may dignity with tie attributes 81
necessity and propriety What do we
now behold While one portion Of the
National Republican party is clamor-
ing for National Bank, another
branch Of Il IS calling for the renewable
