G-r Our Conservative friends, who are opposed to
National Bank, Of them regret the votes they
cast at the last election for William II Seward. In
his message, he not only declares himself in favor of
total repeal Of the law prohibiting the circulation Of
small bills but he speaks in decided terms against the
Sub Treasury and against "he creation (by the gener
al government) Of banking institution IN any form
whether corporate or engine OF the executive depart

rines throughout and has added another 10 the many
claims which he has 10 Conservative support
