THE BANK BILL

passengers IN the Cars, who left Washington
Mond'y, at ls O'Clock, report that the President had
returned the Bank Bill 10 the Senate, Withholding
ms signature, on account Of certain Objectionable
PROVISIONS OF the bil which he specifies. IL is re.
Poded that the objections are OF character which
Congress wi. probably concur in. We trus, this
D, may he the case. We wish 70 see this vexed oues-
. ton st'ttd upon some permanent basis-to,h on
account oil the country, and the Great Wing Party,
with the supremacy OF which are Identified the best
hopes OF the Patriot. We sha0 hear more fully by
the MAJ. OF the night, and will suhjoin in a Post
script whatever OF interest may come to hand.
| The mode OF proceeding, on the receipt Of Veto
Message, as sanctioned by usage in the Senate, is to
postpone the consideration 'ull the mex, dav at a
hNed hour. We presume this course was adopted
on the present occasion. II so, no action WAS had
on the subject Mondiy and we shal. not hear. until
by The mail OF o.ntshI Of the disposition Of Con-
/ Sress.
We have many rumoss-diciated, probably, by
the hopes and wishes OF the Locos-to the ,tTc,,
that the Ca5.nc; Wi, be dissolved, and Congress
adjourn forthwith IN uproar and confusion. Asto
the PROPHECY Of the Cabinets resigning. we can
express no opinion. lfIhoy have been treated with
personal dlsresFect by the President (Which we do
no; believed they would owe it TO themselves TO
restsn-or II they discovered manifest disposition
. TO eetray the Wits Party-(which disposition we
hope does not eNs.)-Ihey would owe il TO their
pune pies TO retire. But because the President can
NOT IN a matter OF conscience be guided by their
counsel, we see no reason whatever for their rrsi,
nation. It's his business not thcirs-he is resnansi
bic, 10; they. They may, in common with nine.
tentns o. the Wing Party regret the necessity which
constants the Prcsiou, to the course he may adopt
but this IS only one OF g score OF important n,ea.
su,cs, which The Wings Of the country dssfre-ons
the success Of which may depend upon their lnb5rs.
As to the sudden and violent dissolution of Con-
sress-ihs we take il is altogether the coinage Of
Loco Foco brains. some imprisoned Wings may
os greatly excited a. the arrest, 10y The Executive
Veto Of what they conceive 10 be the popular will
But the greet body OF the Wings will take wiser
and more discreet view OF the whole matter. The
same consideration OF public character which
should Influence the Cabinet, will influence them.
They wi. consider tina, this Is only one ques-
ton upon vAch they differ with the President
whis; ;hcre arc many others ST even greater
consequence, about which they are thoroughly
agreed. They may regret that the President should
no! be able 10 conform his views to the gcner,
opinion aud strong wish OF the Wing party. Bu,
they wi. hear in mind, that he has only exercised
an undoubsd power conceded by the Constitution,
and from an ny.ncble scTup.e Of conscience as the
circumstances prove-that remedy may be found in
some compromise Of the conflicting opnions-that,
az any rate, the Wing cause IS too comprehensiys
and solid 10 rsPose on single measurc-thst the
preservation Of IT'S unity and integrity is Of nappre-
ciao'e importance for carrying GU, the measures Of
reform, which there has been as yet no time to Of.
feet, and Tor consolidating the distractions TO the
ra,urn Of the late dynasty to power-a catastrophe
involving a.. evils. They will consider that com
promise IS g virtue without which, in this uge Of con-
hlc.ng opinions, and in this country Of diversified
Interests, nothing beneficial can he ciTec:ed-thn,
no good to the country, 10 any party but the Lo-
COS can result from whig rupture ~ this time. and
they will conclude that IL Is better 10 take half ,
loaf than no bread. And II the objections Of tie
Presdcn. he Of the character reported, they will
readily yield TO them, aud thereby give quiet to the
country and death to tho Lo.os.
