THE BANK BILL

Tho Bin for the charter OF this institu
ton, has passed the House by a maIori!
orth.~y-oac, without amendment, and now
awaits the signature Of TIC President e
become a law. All are anxiousIy antici.
pating the course that he viii pursue IN
relation to this bin the locos are conf.
dent that it will fall before The scto, while
the Wings believe and hope that il will re-
celve his sanction. Should the President
be prevented BY constitutional scrupes
from signing the present bill he will re-
turn il with his objections. Congress may
then modify the details Of the bill, 50 that
il will meet tie views Of the Executive,
and tins enable il to become a law. The
spftil Of amiiy and compromise, which has
SO Eur peryadcd the Wing ranks, induces
US TO believe that this will be the case,
should tue pending bill not receive the
appreciation of Mr., Tyler. The wants Of
our widely extended empire, calling so i'm.
pcraliycly for the establishment Of Bank,
are so fully appreciated by the President,
that we are confident, that nothing but be-
lief in the mconstiiutionality Of the Bill il
It's details, can induce him to withhold his
signature. The plan Of the Secretary can
then be taken up, and adopted, which is
known to obyiato the scrupes Of the PresI-
dent. In that cYcul, the hopes Of the locos
will again be blasted, and the sweetcned
chaIico dashed from their lips, ere they
can swallow, the soothing draught, over
which they have been ggioning with such
malicious delight,
The latest intelligence we have Of the
Bank Bill we cory below from the AleXan-
dria Gazette of the l2th instant:
FROM WASHINGTON
1t is expected that the result Of the Pre-
sidont's action on the Bank Bill, will be
known to-day, or tomorrow, at tarthest.
OF course nothing certain or positive is as
certanod as vet, but the opinion obtains
ground daily that the Bill will be sent back
to Congress with objections, touching one
particular portion of the bill. II is ROW
said that the President recognizes the ne
cessity Of Bank of the United States, and,
therefore, that the consilutionaity Of such
an Institution as a fiscal agent ior govern
mcnt purposes, is, in his mind, settled that
he is willing to establish Bank OF the
United States us an agent of the Govern
ment to collect aud disburso the revenues
and to deal in exchanges with branches in
the states, without the assent Of the states
but that he thinks for purpose OF discount,
the assent of the States ought to be obtain
ed. We do not, at all, vouch for this;
but mention it as late and probable. 1t is
further said that there will be no change
IN the Cabinet whatever. We sincerely
wish the President would sign the Bill

{ gEsSIUN OF THE RonBER.--A slip from the
St. Louis New Era contains an account oil
I the arrest Of II. ID. Town, the late teller o.
,he Jacksonville Bank, and states that he
made full Development Of the facts cen.
nected with the robbery to Col. Mother
and said that the destruction of the Books
was resolved upon in a moment Of desper.
dtion, at the loss of character consequent
upon the discovery of long series of de-
predations upon the funds Of the institution.
This course commenced soon after he went
into the Bank--thrce years since-aad
which he had great difficulty in concealing
from the former Cashier.
He became more adFoil as he proceeded
IN his frauds, and was able to deceive the
present Cashier, who had unbounded conf
dcnce in him. Town aycrred, most So.
omnly, that the whole sum used by him
was Ngtie less than $1,000, which viii be
the only deficit The money taken from
the vaults Of the Bank was all recovered
by Col. Mathcr on Monday night. TWAS
buried in three places A part of it in
the Diamond Grove part Of it north of
town on the barrens; and the gold in the
stable lot. The process of robbery was
commenced on Friday night, and ended on
Sunday night. In his confession to Col.
Mather, he implicated no one else, nor did
be at any time afterwards. He assigned
as a reason for destroying the Books Of
the Bank, that had he not done so, they
would have established his past frauds and
that if he had been Immediately arrested,
he never would have made any disclosures.
Daring the week subsequent to the robbie.
ry, he accused nobody, and when any body
was named as the suspicious person, be
would say he believed they were not guilty.

Speech delivered IN Congress By John ~,
Ter, at the Session of ls1G-I7, on the Com

following passage, as being applicable to
his present position on the Bank Question.
If he be individually, as some assert, op.
posed to Bank, he is precludcd by his
situation as a Representative Of the Peo-
pic, from following out his own particular
notions. Ii he does SO, he ceases to be
their Representative, and represents him
self alone
"Mr, Tyler inquired, who was tue member o.
this House, that would undertake. to set up his
opinion in opposition to that of his constituents
I! member OF this House was not a representa-.
tive OF the People, what was he Aud, if he
was, how could he be regarded as representing
the People, when he spoke not their language
but his own. lie ceased to DO a Representative
Of the People, when he did SO, and represented
himself alone. Was tAc creature to set himself
up 10 opposition to the creator Was the ser
want to dlsobey the wishes of his master 1.-THE
opinion Of a Member of this House is TO be re-
garded as more correct If he is to be esteemed
wiser than they are, why should he be responsible
TO his constituents for his conduct? 1t is the
height OF absurdIty TO say, that man shall owe
responsibility 10 a tribunal not so capable OF de-
Gliding between right and wrong, as the indiv1u.
