GENrLrMEN-AS You spoke last evening of the
general policy OF the wings under the present r,s
turu Of affairs, relative Ia the Bank Bill am wal.
ling tn place you la full possession Of my opinion
on that subject.
IL is not necessary 10 60 further back, into the
history Oi tho past. than the introduction of the
present measure into the House Uf Representa-
tives.
That Introduction took place, within Iwo or three
days Sller the Presidents approval uf ILe former
hil; and have not the slightest doubt that il ,yos
honestly and ihirly intended a measure likely TO
meet The Presidents appreciation do not believe
That one IN hiiy of the Wings had any sinister dc.
sign whatever, if there was an inlIyidual WIN hod
| such design
| bot know that the President had been gr caiIy
troubled, m regard To the former bill being aesr,s
on one hand To meet the wishes of his friend, If
he could and Oh the cher To do justice to his own
opinions
Having returned the first bill with his objection,
| u new one was presented in The House aud an ear.
ed 10 be making rapid progress
| Know that the President regretted ibis. and
wished that the whole subject might have been
postponed.
AT the same time, | believe lac was disposed 4,
consider calmly and consccniously, whatever INCA
sure might have boen presented 10 him
But IN The mean limo Mr., BJIis' very crfr,orIi
nary letter made its appearance. Mr. B,,ts !, n
wing OF euinence and influence in our rank.-
heed not recall the contents Of the letter; lis O.
hough 10 say, that u purpoucd that the wings dc
signed to ci'cumycnt their own President 10 .hoaa
hun MS the expression was. and to placo him m a
condition Of embarrassment.
From that moment, felt IL was the duty Of the
Wings 10 iOrbear pressing the Bank Bill further a.
the present time
I thought 1t bat just " thom 10 give a decisive
proof that they entertained no such purro.o os
seemed To be imputed To them. And since there
was reason TO believe that The President wnuJ be
g'al oi une ir Information and reflection bcE,rc
'c'"s cnncd on 10 FORM an opinion on another plan
I'r Bunk plan somewhat new ID Inc cfpptr,,
thought his known wishes ought To 10 compiieJ
