The Acting President and United States Bank.
The Charleston Courier says: ave have it, on high
authority, that MIR. Tyler President of the Senate
held himself to be the representative, of Virginia
but of the Union and was prepared in that capacity
to given his casting vote, 1t necessary in favor OF
National Bank
For the life of u.s. we cannot understand this absurd
distinction. Why did MIR. Tyler oppose National
Bank in 1872 in 532-indeed, through his whole poll
teal career IN TO his nomination Vice President
Because he was girginan Clearly not but be-
cause he was an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS he was trend Of
the lie conscientionsiy believed
that the Bank violated the Constitution, and nc
would not "lay perjury upon his soul ito carry ou
his expression in 1879 by sanclloning mat IN
stitution Is John Tyler less OF an American than he
was in 80. Is he less friend of the Constitution
Or is lie less tenacious of the obligations OF an oath
WHY did old George Clinton give his casting vote
against renewal of the first Bank OF the United
States Was it because he was citizen OF Ne"
York, was it not because he regarded The BANK as
contrary to the Constitution and deprecated the as
sumption ofany power which had not been conceded
the Federal Government?
Whether Mr.. Tyler will, or will not sanction and
sign Bank bill will not undertake positively TO say
late letter from Washington, expresses the OPINION
that he would veto the bill. A Wing, recently IRON

mortality awaits him. We recollect, if it were
bnt Yesterday when Mr. Madison, the last act of hi
Administrations vetoed the bill laying the foundation
of 4 general system Of Internal Improvement, with
what enthusiasm it was hailed by the Republican
party. Such an act on the part of Mr.. Tyler, wou
crown him with more splendid fame, even than Mr.
Madison last celebrated act.

these queries can be given in one word IL is owing
10 the want Of public spirit and energy Of character
among her citizens. This is the true Of her pre-
sent degenerated condition in comparison with other
cities.
When it is known that Gen. Harrison always mani
tested particular interest in the welfare OF Richmond

most of his youthful days in this city; and, when Time
had affixed her indelibc impress upon his form and
features, he still watched over her with parental soil
