SECOND REPORT OF THE INVESTIGAT
ING COMMITTEE.

To he Stockholders ofhc Bank efMe United States
Ii is with considerable reluctance that the members
Of the Committee of Investigation, appointed at the
meeting of the 18th Of January last requested the at
tcntion of the Stockholders 10 afew remarks on GER
tain statements made by Mr.. Nicholas Biddle, in his
letters to the Hon. John M. Clay ton, lately publish
cd in the newspapers.
In submitting the report, they performed duty
which to them unexpected as painful; yet,
having assumed the office imposed upon them, it was
a duty from which they could not shrink. Informa-
ton of the causes which had occasioned the prostra
ton of bank Of so large capital, and which had
been declared by its President, but two years before
to be in state of great prosperity, was demanded by
the almost unanimous voice of those interested and
il was due TO the Stockholders, due to the community
and due to the character ofthe members of the com
mittee themselves that the answer should be an hon
est and candid one. That answer was given IN the
st lie of simple narrative of facts which had occurred
in it'd history since it became State institution To
all who could think and calculate, these facts were
amply sufficient to account for It's actual situation II
the inference fairly deduced from them were uniavor
able TO any ohose who had been heretofore entfnst
cd with It's ma agement ii was for them To exculpate
Themselves before the Stockholders the public The
committee were not judicial tribunal, and II was not
for them TO arraign at their bar The officers and Direc
tors as persons accused They therefofe confined cx
animation TO the books and when explanation on
any particular subject needed, sought Tor u from
those who were supposed to be able to furnish II,
A yndication of the measures and policy of his adj
ministration was certainly to be expected from the
former President and had his publications been limited
to this, the committee would have remained silent.
Buta personal attack having been made upon them,
their having been directly Impeached, and some
of the facts presented in their report having been Tor
may denied TO be true, notice Of charges grave
as these seems absolutely necessary.
| IL will be remembered that the committee were APP
pointed not only TO rery but 10 erdmins the details
ofthe report of the Directors of December II, 1870

tails. We conceived that we had undoubted righ

ORIGINAL HYMN.

ORIGINAL HYMN.
BY W. D. TApPAN.
Given is To earth its treasures;
Relics slumber in the DUST
Yielded is 10 God the spirit
Spirit mingle with the just.
"Earth TO earth"-if His were only
Wailing in our hymns Of wo,
God, what dark ness thy creation,
Soundless, hopeless, lost would know
In that cry in yonder palace,
Spirit unto spirit calls;
Sec the Reaper lays the Mighty
But the body only falls.
Not city, not a province,
IT'S nation hears the rod;
Awful is the lesson taught us
o Appointer Thou ART COP!
Humbled at the throne Of Heaven,
Whose rebuke people feel
Let the tear Tor sin be given,
Where, to-day, our billions kneel
Warrior Chieftairi Statesman Ruler
Honors heape1 upon thy brow
Filled, Ambitions golden chalice-
What az these and what art thou
Father Brother Patriot Christian
Titles craven on the heart
These are names by which we know thee,
These and thou can never part
Given is TO earth its treasure
Relics slumbcr in the dust;
Yielded is to God the spirit
Spirit mingle with the Just.

Where dashes wild the Numbering tide,
And round the oak the bramLle twines
His wampuln belt around him flung,
His eye the prairie wide survey,
W here OF his tribe their war notes sung
And thus hear his spirit say:

Whose yells, re-echoing, fill the shores;
Their footsteps seek, through Western lands

They yet may find home again.
