self into this--a Bank has
been twice chartered by

again create "a Bank,

sion, that such fiscal agent,

Grafton, for it must have high

CONTRAST BETWEEN THE ACTING PRESIDENT
AND THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY:
We present our readers with an extract from
the Repsri of Mn Ewing, laid before Congress
on Thursday last-and an extract Of speech
from Mn Tyler delivered only seven years
ago. What remarkable contrasl How con-
fnsed assuming, unsatisfactory, is the Secre-s
tary'p doctrne!-- How clear, commanding and
satisfactory is Mr., Tyler'sl Can Mr.: Tyler
forget the immulaSle principles which he adj
vOcated in '34-Or can any man expect to
shake him by such sophislry as M. Ewing ul-
tersl The Secretary; however, 1t appears, is
armed at every point-and ready TO prepare
plan Of Fiscal Agent which is free from all
Constitutional objections Mr.. Wise has sub
mlled resolution on the heels Of The Secre,
Ia y's report, calling upon him for such plan.
