A death bed testimony to the truth and
comfort of Religion.-I know no better
corrobora.ing evidence for the relief of
the mind, when assaulted by those subtle
arguments. with which some men, repu,ed
wise, attack the foundations of our faith,
than the testimony of dying: persons; espe.
cialiy such as have been out of the nuise
of controversy, and who, perhaps, never
heard a syllable Of what has been stated in
these evil days against some of the impor-
tant articles Of the Christian religion.
Permit me TO relate. onthfs occasion, some
things which struck me in the converse.
tion Of q young woman whom visited in
her last illness. about two years ago.
She was sober, prudent person could
read her Bible, but had read little besides;
her knowledge of the world was nearly
confined 10 the parish, for suppose she
was seldom, if ever twelve miles from home
in her life. A few days before her death,
in prayer by her bedside, thanked the
Lord that He gave her, now 10 see that
she had not followed cunningly devised
fables. when Ihad finished, she repeated
that expression. "No"ssid she, "not cum
ningly devised fables; these are realities
indeed;l feel their comfort" She then fixed
her eyes s.eadfastly upon me, and said,
"Sir, have often heard you with pleasure
but give me leave to tell you, that, ill you
come into my situation, and have death
and eternity full in view, it will be impos.
sible for you to conceive the vast weight
and importance Of the truths you declare.

THE FISCAL BANK BILL.

This bill i, now before the House Of Representa-
tiyes and viii probably pass that body and possibly
NAV receive the Presidents appreciation, though 1t Is
doubted by many who have as good opportunities OF
Knowing the Presidents views, as those who are
most s.ngpine Of its success.
Our readers afs award sha. tho bill barely passed
: the Senate, upon compromise in reatont0 the az
perion Of the branching power; one party asserting
the unlimited power of Congress to establish branch
In any Of the States, and the other contendng that
tho a..ent of the Siates should be had before The
powerwas exercised
tn. compromise proposed by Mr. Clay and which
was finally adopted provides for obtaining the assent
of the States in two ways. First, by an act or fsS
olution in the. affirmative ossenting: Second oy
refusal or neglect to egislate upon the subject whch
IN not d.,entnr Is TO be construed into an assent
The amendment further asserts tor Congress tne
power to put Bank in any State against Its pFoh'.
bit;on. whenever it shall be thought neeecsary anu
proper.
The characteristic cunning Of Mr.. ClAY is clear
II perceptiblo in this compromise There would
have been something in it worthy the name OF com.
promise If the branching power had been restricted
10 such States rs should assent TO its exercise but
under its present aspect, it is mere trap to eaten
ps, and in which it succeeded admirably SO fur as
the Hon w. C.. PRESTON was concerned.
Kis well kaown that there are many OF tho States
Which assisted in the elevation Of Gen. HARRfsoN to
sthe P,esidcncy, and consequently, in bringing the
oreseut administration into power which are utterly
opposcd to the establishment of National Bank
and if tho subject was brought before them as ma.
ked suesticn would decide against it by anlover.
whslming majority. But it ohaPPens just at this tme'
that in some these States, either one or the other
of the legislative branches have majority OF Bank
mcn 10 that IL will be impossible, at the first session
(and this is the requirement of Mr.. Glars compro'
mso) either to get positive assent OF dissent to the
establishment of branches within their limits, and no
legislative en- aactmea can therefore be made on the
SUBJECT sThe consequence will DO. that Mr.. Cars
compromise will force branches in many Of the States
contrary to the known wishes Of large majority of
tie people.
Itis known that Mr.. TYLER has heretofore been
inopposition to National Bank in any shape, and
il is said utterly opposed to such charter as shall
a,ser The power of locating branches into the States
without their consent. 1t remains to be seen wheth-
crhs will have nerve enough to adhere to his prnci-
pies and arrest by his veto this hasty and unconst'
tutional legislation. ..
