1t is said, that Mr. BiddIes Letter was severely cr
csed il the Bank Convention. No one pointed
than Mr. Gala,ln. He commended ha. Mr. Bdde al

strong enough resist the resumpuon Tia! 1t would
not have dollar TO hoard; that it cannot convert lis
Treasury notes into n circulating medium, &c, DC
but that Mr.. Biddle himself presents the only obstacle

| DR.. Sheppard, the Wing Candidate for the Senatorial
Dis'rc! Of Hanover, &c, has published an Address TO
the People, which contains some curious revolutions
Although his competitor, MIR Fontane, has declared his
opposition 10 the Sub Treasury Scheme yet The Doctor
pleased TO charge him with supporting it-uPon The
ground, that he ceainly attempted Legislative op.

that if he is elected, he the fashion OF orr

The Doctor contends that the custody Of the national
funds belongs under Constitution, the represent

public money is 10 be kept that then it was the du

The Doctor disclaims National Bnnk-at the same
time he proposes the adoption o! the Special Opposite,
"until public opinion settle duwn some final plan
for preserving the public money.'-WeIl, what 10 this
fna plan 10 be? He first cuts himself Oft from tho pet
banks from the Special Dcpose, (fo that is not 10 be

assisting and advising TO what sort of an In

will Doctor Sheppard make any encounter against an

he goes into the fight under such disadvantage, what
mighty efforts he make against powerful an enc
my? Depend upon it, this not the sort OF soldier
which these times We require men, who are not
only right in their opinions but bold and confident IN
sprt-Yet the Dr. is not only awed by the power Of the
enemy. but he is ready TO participate in his councils,
and advises what sort Of bank is to be established when
ait should become rery probable that such bank "a
National Bank 'wOuId be enacted by Congress. And
what species of bank would he give u.s.; Is he to force
