Here is a precious expose. This bank had beer
straig hteped in its operations for many months
past by this fraud and yet the President and Di
rectors had no inklng-no suspicion OF any thn'
being wrong. What precious set OF blockhead
(supposing them honcst) they must have beenl Blu
tits singular truth in the recent bank explosion
throughout the country, that, with the abundan
premonitory symptoms Of wrong. the directors snt
managers of banks, instead of eviscerating thu
facts have always sriven to conceal the truth, ant
20 cheat and impose on the community as long a
they could. Such IL the history Of the Manhattan
Bank, Of the Mechanics Bank. Of the Dry Docl
Bank, Of the schuylkill Bank, Of the Mississippi
Union and Rail Road Banks--and such now is thu
history Of the Virginia Bank.
From these and other facts before the world, IL il
easy to that the villsiny yet discovered in III,
banks, is not half Of what exists. We could poin
to certain banks in Wall street, and elsewhere, thai
rotten with fraud and corruption, but as thei
day will come enough, we shall wait patentl!
for their own explosion. So also in Philadelphia
If true statement of the affairs Of the Girsrd AM
United States Banks could be exposed, we have NJ
doubt the world would stand aghast at their rotten
ness and corruption.
We do verify believe that we only in the com
renoement Of the great bank reformation. Tn
