| In December 1882 National Convention Of IN,

President and Wee President From the time al III,
expiration Of the charter the late Bank OF the mi
ted States mp 10 that period, the currency of IN,

and furnished almost the only topic OF discussion
throughout the country; the Army bill, Hooe case
and the rest having arisen subsequent 10 the nnmi-
nations At Harrisburg, and therefore could have had

voter at the polls twelve months after. In conSe.
quence this general arrangement of the currency
the stnGnlion OF business consequent upon IT, the
fatal experiments that had been rNadc TO correct n
which only served 10 plunge u into deeper Difficult.
~, thousands ofthe wscSt IN the country were
known TO have changed their opinions not only up
on the question OF cSpediency, but also Of the con
suu'ionalitv ot bank; and, in the absence of all
other proof, when Mr. Tyler stepped forward and
arraytd himself under the Wing banner, aud idcn.
titled himself with the Wing party, without cxpla-

been far and natural inference that his mind had
undergone a similar change. But he did not leave

preceding had travel. through the Western coun-
Try IN compSny with MIR Tyler, and was with him
for some weeks. during which time | heard him
say IN steamboat conversations (Which were oi

times should rot hc cStravIGant, that he was sat-
I,hed a Bank OF the United States was not only ne
ccssary, but indispensable; that the country could

We'll, sir, what ptrt did Mr. Tyler play at that
Convention Way, TIC not only persisted up 10
the last moment IN the recommendation of Mr. Clay
but, rs he himself states, wept his defeat. Now
wIil any man pretend that MIR Tyler did not know
that II MIR Cay elected, the first great Leading
Measure Of his administration would hc the csiat

ed a letter 10 MIR Tyler, making inquiry whether
he wOu.c vote Tor bank or against IL , and in
reply TO that letter MIR Tyler says he adopts the
language OF Gen. Hau!son's speech q, DAYTON, IN
Ono. lie: US see now what General Harrison saws
IN that speech!
"My opinion Of the power OF Congress f,,vs Gen
H. to charter National Bank reniains UNCHANGED
There IL not IN the Cons.iton any ,ryreSs grant Of
P0tor for such purpose, and lL could never be con.
snutonol TO exercise that power, save IN the event

"Mr Madison lGen. II. con.inue,j signed a

the revenue could not be collected or discussed 10

Did this constitute sufficient commital 10 A
bank? mot, let us see what further he did and
sad but, before ! proceed to that, LEI me read
another e1'racI from tina: Dayton speech. the Ian.
guagc OF which was adopted by NJ Tyler Il Is
