in order to secure beneficial udustmcn!-and this is
the secret of oil you hear about the accession of friends
in the House 10 the bill.
For our own paris, Gas to the opinions which
may enlertain,) we care not who is Ullra-who goes
against adjustment, and who not. We say for one,
are for compromise, and for The ustment Of this

we invite all the friends of the country, Of The Repub

ultimate success. distinguished member of the House
writes that he believes after the failure of the SubTrea

With all hearts!-But the Madisonan asks US,
"wbcer it occurred 10 us, that the banks, Of the

any and all agency Whatever connected with the public
revenues, on the plan (we) so srenuousy urge?"-
Certainly, The question has occurred 10 US; but
have arrived at very different conclusion from the
Madisonan. We are satisfied on this point. We are
convinced, that system be devised, which will
induce the Banks to accept the Agency We hazard
very little in answering for those in Virginia.-We
have no doubt, that the bill will lay the substratum
of scheme, which will be satisfactory 10 the banks
and which we humbly think, ought to satisfy the Ad
mnisralion and friends of the Conservatives ESQ
called.)
