! Here then was meeting in Copial, in
which GEN. BROWN was chiefactor,ex-
pressing views directly at variance with the
course pursued by Gen. Jackson, in rela-
ton to the very institution to which he now
says he was always opposed Here was a
meeting, The objects of which were ''erpbi-
citLy" stated to be to express their oPposi-
lion to the course pursued by Gen, Jackson,
and their appreciation of the course puF-
sued by Messrs. Polndexter, Black and
Cage, in relation to the bank of the United
SttGteS. Gen Brown heard the objects of the
meeting stated acrpIicitEy," he kneiO what
had been the course of General Jackson on
the subject of the Bank, and he knew also
that Messrs Poindexter, Black and Cage,
had been in direct opposition TO him. After
hearing the objects of the meeting "erPG
city stated, !" General Brown moved for the
appointment Of committee to draft pre-
amble and resolutions expressive Of the fee
lings and sentiments of that meeting, and
appointed On that committee. After delibe-
ration the committee reported and the fol-
lowing was the 4th resolution.
sResoEved, That We SANCTION the
course that our Senators in Congress, and
our Representative, Honorable Harry Cage.
have pursued IN RELATION TO THE
BANK OF THE UNITED STATES, and
that we desire them to do every thing in
their power, consistently with their high
charac tiers as individuals and Representa-
tives, towards restoring the currency of the
country to its former uniformity and sound
ness"
Here then General Brown F'sdnctions"
the course pursued by Messrs Poindexter,
Black and Cage. siR relation to the Bank
of the United States" And need we ask
any one what was the course of these gen
tlemen on that subject? Need we tell any
one that all of them were the warm and able
friends of a United States Bank? Need we
say that this much abused institution found
no ADLER advocates and defenders in the
Senate Chamber than were Messrs Black
and Poindexter9 Need we tell the reader
that Harry Cage stood up in the House of
Representatives long and manfully in favor
of it and in opposition to the policy Of GEN
eral Jackson? II is we'll known that npon
this question, Messrs. Poindexter and Black
both separated from the President, and
for his able and eloquent advocacy Of Ma
tional Bank in opposition to General jack
sons wishes, Mr.. Poindexter drew down
upon himself the concentrated wrath of the
whole party throughout the Union.
Yet with full knowledge of the course
which our Senator and our Representatives
had pursued, with full knowledge that the |
warm as well as able champions Of Nation
al Bank, General Brown reported resoln-
ton sANCTIoNTNG their course. He not only |
reported il, but he UOted for it. It was passed
without a dissenting voice. Gen. Brown,
among the rest voting in the Affirmative
Shall, we then, with the resolution staring
him in the face; with the recorded votes and
speeches of Messrs. Black, Poindexter and
Cage, in favor of a NATIONAL BANK
aging side by side with it--shall We be told
low that General Brown never was in favor
,Fa Bank of the United States? Shall we
