A CITIZEN.
THE BANK.

III We most cordially congratulate our readers
Wings locos and all, on the long looked and anx-
iously prayed-or passage of the Fiscal Bank Bill thro
ooh houses OF Congress. 1t is true loco BRETHREN
I" point q politics, are opposed to such institution
pu we apprehend 1t to be less true that in p0nt of
Jdct they are secretly and sincerely in favor of it, 1t
strikes US that SELF eUden conclusion addresses itself
to the mind OF one man much in the same way as it
does to that OF another, and without being Uery much
modlhed by the political NAME which he may have as
sumed, whether he will honestly acknowledge the fact
or not AT any rate, when this agent shall have ac-
complshed Its natural and desired end in restoring
long Frustrated currency and furnish industry and en-
'erprISe with means to prosecute their various Objects
we venture to predict that the longest tongued oppo-
nent will condescend become PARTICIPANT in if,
blessings though, perhaps, he may Course the hand
ha' ieeds nm at the same time he greedly partakes
OF the provision. We shall wait most impatently TO
see now many loco States will be spunkv enough TO
make martyrs OF themselves, refuse to have branches
established IN their jurisdiction and lay down and starye
with their "hard-monGy -humbur
racy rather than partake OF the benefits of iudcious
"el'regulaed credit system. Wont il be sport to see
granite hearted New Hampshire pinchng and hobbng
along ITS weary way, obstinate 10 the last but ever and
anon casting envIous eyes across the Connecticut and
h"ardy curSing the thrifty prosperity of the Green
mountain State 1t is to be regretted that the Disrj
oution l did not contain the same clause incorporat
co mo the Bank Bill that such States as oe,e opposed
70 II mtgh sgnYy their determination By their hgislq
lures 10 reeei1e no portion Of the nqonev,
bn' IN The passage Of the bank bill is achieved de-
eiueoly the most important step TO be taken in the
backward march from loco foco "refom" to that stale
OF things which this blessed country Of ours enoyed
before Gen. Jackson commenced his unwarrantable
Innovations upon usages instituted by tho trainers Of
he constitution and sanctioned sucossvely by all the
Fathers OF the Republic by the Judiciary and bv the
people The Bill passed the House on Friday, Aug
ust 9th, lsil without amendment but exactly in the
shape IN which 1t left the Senate, by a majority of 81
votes The day should be celebrated by an annu,
jubilee for the event is Of equal Importance to the pas
sage OF the lsfaeliies the Red Sea
How different the process by which this great Who
measure was achieved from tina, through which the
loco substitute was forced upon the people! The bank
bil! has been the principal topic or discussion thus far
IN the session and has been open 10 all the argument
and objections which is opponents chose 10 bring A.
