idle chickering's and foolish disputations. 1t
is an act of Justice TO the Western States,
who have righ,ful ownership in the Public
Domain. 1t will be of great and essential

The rejection of Mr. Rives' Amendment
to the Bill reported by Mr.. Clay, for the es-
tablishment of a National Bank is generally
received as a favorable indication for the
chartering of such an institution. 1t is to be
feared however, that it is not well advised
movement it would seem to be the best
policy on the part of Mr.. Clay and his friends
to accep, this compromise. 1t is a matter
perfectly settled that the People of the Uni
ted States and all their interests loudly de-
mand the establishment Of National Tnst-
tuition which shall regulate our exchanges,
cqualize and render stable the currency, and
act as a Fiscal Agent for the General Gov
eminent. Now without the Presidential
sanction the country can never have Bank
Of this kind: it is very generally understood
that, should Mr.. Clay's project, giving to the
Bank the power to establish branches when
ever it please, with or without the consent of
the several states, pass both Houses of Con-
grcss, it wiW be uetocd by President Tyler.
Would it not be cxpedcnt then to accep,
such Bank as we can have, provided it

wait patiently in hope for better
