Is your situation a; the present time. The great
and paramount interests OF the country require
some sort of national institution which shall fur
ni.h uniform currency and cqualIze the cXcnang-
es. Without these We cannot ~ poet that prosper
ity in business TO which the people are entitled
and which you nave it in your power promote,
by granting TO them such institution thcy
have asked through their Represes Jatives Under
its auspices the business of the country would oe
once more revived and your name would be CLOSELY
identified with all those great interests which IL Is
the part OF an honorable ambition to encourage
and sustain. The wounds Inflicted by the veto OF
Inc former bill would be cicstrced byth approval
OF this. The feeling Of disappointment which
n,w pcrvades the whole country would be turned
into ioy, and that JOY would be heightened by the
reflection that neither pride Of opinion ncon-
81 icratc ceunsels, could long prevail over the pa
trotic impulses of one determined to do his duty
to his party as well a. to his country. II will be
no answer 10 an over-anxious and excited people
to say that hereafter something nay be done. They
will tell you that hereafter is Yet to come, and
that they require it now; that they have for So

longer iaInely and quietly submit 10 see their prin-
cipes trampled under foot by any one. and more
especially By one elected by Themselves to carry
ont their great measures, Of which National
Bank was the most prominent AID important:
That they cannot consen; to lose By an lngoroGs
and pusillanimous rcquiescencc, ihat neral force
which their resistance Of this power has always
given them, and without which they cannot pre-
serve their own selfrespect, much les the respect
AID confidence of the country.
In my former communication, | expressed an
apprehension that rejection OF that bill would
distract and destroy the party have seen enough
OF public sentiment already, convince o. the
error of that opinion. satisfied that re-
lection of the present bill viii distract de-
s,roy the pary.-A Veto may be the means OF
throwing a small aud Insignificant fragment 81 II
into he illicit embraces of tie opposition; but
that will only to give aev life and renewed
energy to the great and patriotic mass which re-
mains. They vii. see the motives which control
such movement. and they viii feel as Freemen
should feel when the fruits of the glorious victory
achievcI uader the gallan; HARRISON, are thus
insloriou.ly wrested from their grasp They viii
once more buckle on their arInor and prepare tot
another cont.st-a contest, not only ci principle

can rouse the patriot 20 action. they VIII again
triumph, under auspice, that will render their VIC
tory permanent and complete.
But will not indulge the fear that such con-
test will be necessary. | will rather hope that
YOU Will seize this occasion to sustain the conf
dence OF the party which placed YOU where you
and that YOU viii, BY the approval Of this bill
render your administration popular as you will
make The countr! prosperous and the people happy
Let Ao hasty opinions which may have been eN-
press ed against the bill, prevent you from con>sm-
