The Message cxciics no remark either COM

ia.ra.Y. Government Bank with II Board of
,oanssioners, Compuollors, or Directors, or
't..ntyers General of Presidential creation, is
uo. e'nsislant with wing principles, aud there it
ysH r.st. We will do without Bank until the
cogotiy demands one, with voice thu. cannot be
lan..en or dEputed.',
S we cannot but believe that the wings, at
whatever cost of consistency, will finally come in
10 pan. Aside from the fact that 1t conflicts
,,ji heir declarations, it certainly commends it.
sn., their invor as scheme Of power over the
r.t ness and exchanges of the country, and AZ the
na. ems OF u great moneyed influence, which has

are 10 Of faith. And when the facility with whicl
~ throw OF one set Of declarations and resort tc
al her is recoectcd, it will not be thought any
t. very .emarkable, if they choose to forget al
,a,r they hare said against a Government Bank
and gave to tia, feature of the present scheme I
pHrty support,
