of exclusive privileges conferred by

partial legislation. To remove the
influences which had thus gradually
grown up among us--to deprive
them of their deceptive advantages
10 test them by the light of wis
dom and truth---to oppose the force
which they concentrate in their
support-aII this was necessarily
the work of time, even among a
people so enlightened and pure as
that of The United States. In most
other countries, perhaps, it could
only be accomplished through that
series of revolutionary movements,
which are too often found necessary
to effect any great and radical re-
form but it is the browning merit
Of our institutions that they create
and nourish in the vast majority of
our people, disposition and a pow
er peaceab!y to remedy abuses
which have elsewhere caused the
effusion of rivers of blood, and the
sacrifice OF thousands of the human
race. The result thus far is most
honorable to the self-denial, the in
tclIigcnce, and the patriotism of our
citizens it justifies the confident
hope that they will carry through
the reform which has been so well
begun, and that they will go still
farther than they have yet gone in
illustrating the important truth, that
people as free and enlightened as
ours, will whenever it becomes ne
cessary, show themselves to be in
deed capable of self government, by
voluntarily adopting appropriate re-
NEEDLES for every abuse, and SUBJ
hitting to temporary sacrifices,
however great, to insure their per-
manent welfare. r''N2
My own exertions for the fur
therance of these desirable OBJ ects
have been bestowed throughout my
official career with a zeal that is
nourished by ardent wishes for the
welfare Of my country, and by an
unlimited reliance on the wisdom
that marks its ultimate decision on all
great and controverted questions.
Impressed with the solemn obliga-
tons imposed upon me by the Con-
stitulion-desirous also of laying
before my lellow-citizens, with
whose confidence and support have
been so highly honored, such meas
ures as appear to me conducive to
their prosperity-and anxious to
submit to their fullest consideration
the grounds upon which my opinions
are formed, | have on this, as on
preceding occasions, freely offered
my views on those points Of domestic
policy, that seem at the present time
most prominently to require the
action of the Government. ! know
that they will receive from Con-
gross that full and abe considera-
ton which the Importance of the
subject merits, and can repeat the
assurance heretofore made, that |
shall cheerfuIly and readily co-opc-
rate with you in every measure that
will tend to promote the welfare of

MARYLAND BANK CoMMIssIoNER's Report
The Report made to the House of Delegates, by the
Commissioners appointed by that body, to "exam-
inc the affairs Of the Western Bank Of Baltimore"
has been published, and from the general scope of
this report, from the spondence embraced in
animation of the affairs of that bank, the most
private, except the cash accounts, with right good
will. The searching operation, however, seems to
have been somewhat baked by an obstacle in the
shape of provision in the charter of the bank,
which forbids examinations Of that character.
