BANK OF THE UNITED STATES.

We were of those, who thought that the
course of the people Of New York towards
the Bank of the United States, would have a
tendency to secure favor for that institution at
the hands of the Pennsylvania Legislature.
But subsequent events show that we were
mistaken. There exists in the Legislature a
most malignant spirit of hostility towards the
institution, and the organs of the dominant
party assert with great confidence that its
charter will be repealed. The following,
from the Pennsylvania Reporter, will show
what has already been done Fred. arena.
UNITED STATES BANK.-The vote in the
Senate, given in our last paper, instructinp
the Judiciary committee to bring in a bill to
repeal the charter IF The United States Bank, is
clearly indicative Of the fate of that instin-
ton, SO far as the Senate is concerned. That
the bill will pass the House, and be APPROX
ed by the Governor, is just as certain, as that
1t will pass the Senate. Public opinion and
the best interests OF the Commonwealth, alike
require it.
We have an amusing tale to tell in refer
ence to the above resolution. Every cir
cumstance goes to show that the whole pur-
pose of the Administration party in It's intro
siuctlon was TO get the Wings to oppose it,
and thus make them out TO be the exclusive
friends of Banks, or ''the Bank party."-The
Wings, however, smeit the rat, and deter
mined at once on course that would effec-
tnatfy expose the hollow trickery. They
made not the least opposition to the resolu-
ton, and even resigned their places on the
committee to which it was referred, SO as to
give the Administration party full swing, to
do as they thought proper. The conse-
quence has been that the clamor against the
Bank is hushed and proposition is even
now before the Legislature to borrow from
the Bank six millions of dollars
