I'd" upon this subject, and all who supported hm IN

On that occasion, they elected Mr. Van Buren,, the op-
ponent Of Bank, and elected Gen. Harrison, whcsc
leading friends loudly e1olled him US decidedly mimi
cal 10 such an institution
Messrs Badger and Ewing were active and prnmi-
nent advocates Ct Cen Harrsons election, and their
services were rewarded by seats in the Cabinet Both

tha, Cen Harrison was in favor of National Bank
Fifty thousand copies of Judge Badgers speech con-

TIE Wings claim all Tie talents, and surely thcy
will corcsde that lis speech rendered essential aid 10

Harrison was oeainst Bank, and how mary were
prompted in con equence Of that IMPRESSION 10 sustain
General Harrscns election, are questions Of difficult
solution.

Wings, that the question OF Bank Bank, was
raised by them last year in every State OF the Union;
that they had denounced Mr.. Van Buren, the enemy
nd euogzed Gen. II. and Mr.. Tyler The especial and
friends Of National Bank, and there

American people As majority Of the Wing party
were in favor Of Bank, they ought tc have pursued
all independent, and manly course IN ,rowng t!cr de-
signs The minority Of the Wing party were adverse
TO Bank bu these dscordant eeme n,s agreed TO car
~ ON the war against ~. Van Barren with ZEAL and to
abstain from the agitation Of any subject likely TO d.
vide the Wing party itself, which would greatly
arouse the Republican feelings Of their Democratic an.
taeonists Hence ii was, that the Wings concealed
their designs and sought 10 entrup their Loo ceaulons
and confdng countrymen.
What was the course pursued by our opponents in
the Empire State Dcring the canvass, the Albany
Evening Journal, the most prominent organ OF The
Wing party of New York, asserted "thas the wings
have no design or desire TO create National Bank.
