Tile Bank-boHgM administration
For years the public ear has been, syn
ned by the incessant din the Loco ReO
have kept up against all banks in gener
and the United States Bank in particun
When the PENNSYLVANIA U. S. Bank Wa
chartered in 1856, the Administra,no
of Governor Ritncr was declared 10 b.
"b7mt-jonght," and Messrs Penrose, Bur.
den, Dickey, rore, Cunningham, Irwin
and Middlecon, who had the independ
ence to 60 for the interests of the State i
the Senate. were stigmatized as ..brib
traiiors," "bank-bougM riHains," d.
&c. merely because they had voted Ri
chartering the Bank. But Ritner's IA |
and Senators before namq
had taken care that the bargain with ID |
tate should be hard one for the bank
they made her pay for her charter a b. |
nus of over five millions of dollars, rs |
trIcted her to notes of ten dollars deDoaL
nation, and bound her to lend TO tile Coz
monwealth when called upon by the u |
glslature, any sum of money not exceed
ing six millions Of dollars, at four ls|
ceui. interest,".
How different has been the conduc, d
the present Loco Foco Administration 10
wards the Bank! !, seems to have taken
that institution under its especial pro,ee,I
ton. Last winter the Loco Focos refused
to compel the Bank to loan at four pei
cent, but passed law providing for i
Ioan of $1,0J4,OOO to Be taken at st
Of ln'erestnot exceeding fire per cent, and
The bank taking it to have the right 10 pay
it in five dollar notes. Well, the bankha
taken the loan-it receives five per cent
interest, or $4,000 per year more lhal
it would have received had the LocoEe
COS forced it to loan at the rates provl&
for in It's charter; and in addition, the PIE
sent "bank-bought Administration hn|
given the Bank privilege to issue FIVE
DOLLAR NOTES. a privilege for whici
t offered FIVE HUNDRED THOU.
SAND DOLLARS under Rimer's Ad
and was refused.
But there is another view of the matter
Notwithstanding their clamots agaiust,h
Bank and all who formerly showed Jh
Institution any countenance, the locofuu
AVE by going to that Bank proved th
wisdom of Gov. Ritner's measures
They could get money no where else; sol
they were obliged TO go and beg tat the
door Of the Bank, which took care to make
its own terms with them. Thus theyos'
their salvation to Penrose, Dickey, Blu:
den and the other gentlemen on who's
heads they have been for the last the.
years pouring out their,vals Of wrath an'
have substantially proclaimed the hollow
ness of their pretended hostility to VI
Bank. We ask the people to look onlh
picture of daring hypocrisy presented
them in the conduct of the locotocos u
relation to this matter. We would par
tcularly appeal to those who have oeeh
decoycd into an honest opposition % W.
Bank by corrupt leaders we ask them y
tear the scales from their eyes, and la1s'
penden,ly denounce the political traihcs
ers who deceived Them -Pennsyirdar
