Bank would have been inefficient, and its stock could

culallons about Mr.. f" ags bll-but as to this com
promise bill, MIR. Tyler can never sanction i, without,
abandoning not only his old PRINCIPLES bul The vory
grouho whch he has recently assumed. Upon his own
argument, lie can III scrbe bill which does moi re-
cogn'ze the full, free, unqualified unconditional OK
press assent OF the Sovereign States to the establish
menl oil branches The assent must be express ayowed
assent, not presumptive from the absence of d;saent
That is to be one element of the assent Another il
that the States may express II when they please and
hoic they peascnot limited 10 the first session of their
Legislature. II may also he condona that is TO saw
an assent upon the condition of the branch paynp such
bonus or tax rs her own State Institutions do-and
moreover authorizing her 10 protect her sovereign
~, BY recalling her assent, whenever she pleases II
Mr. Tyler, therefore, vetoes the BILL and assigns his
reason the want of a reserved power to tic States to
sent 10 tho establishment Of Branches, it is 10 be hoped
he will claim for each State, by virtue Of his ar
rument, all these elements Of free and unshacke
assent.
We will speculate further. We will not pre-
sumo 10 enter the Wing Divan, and see what they
will do, in the event of Veto. We leave It to Mr.
Clay and his Clique 10 adhere 10 the high ground they
had taken, or 10 stoop from their eyre, and abate
their caims-w the prospect before them Of meeting
Tie negative Of several States, and with the risk Of
losing the subscription to the stock. Some OF the
Wing scrlbblers think that the Wings will surrender
the Compromise and take Ewngs bill, svh the hope
If obtaining the Executive signature. Not the
Baltimore American, which maintains this position
al the measure now before Congress were defeated,
does any one think that the question would be at rest
Is II likely that the idea Of Bank would be given up,
or that Bank, according TO The Treasury plan-ior
which no Wings voted excep, MIR. Rvcs and some five
or SIX Senators, who did 80 out OF compaIsance aud
not from convictinn-is il likely that such Bank
would be received, Not by any means. If The pre-
sent bill is lost, tie country ,rW fa bark mpoa Mr.. H.
Ciays original bW md rest satisfied 'eiM nothing less
The effort to stave oil the question in lel6 could not
be repeated now with any better success.
Such too is believed to be the position of Hunting

We wait the event with the deepest socitude but with
an ndomablc spirit We prepared for either for
