NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

twill be seen by reference to tho accounts
from Washington, that the fate Of MIR. Gays
Bank Bill is still extremely doubtful. Should
it succeed in beng carried through both hou-
ses, there seems to be great uncertainty,
whetherit will receive the Executive sane
ton. We can scarcely believe however, that
Mr. Tyler could consider himself justifiable
in applying the veto pewer to this bill, if it
should be brought before him, connected as he
is on this question with the great wing party
of the country. whose opinions on no subject
were more definitely expressed or better un-
derstood than they were during the late Presi-
dental canvass, IN regard to the constitution
atty Of National Bank. Although other sub
jects were introduced into the discussion be-
fore the people at that time, the grand issue,
that was made up between the contending par
ties, the one which in. its superior importance
and the interest which it excited engrossed
more consideration, and enlisted more feeling
than all the others together, was,I whether it
was the policy ofthe country to prosecute the
measures Of the late administration party with
regard to the Sub-Treasury scheme, or aban.
doning that, to return to a National Bank as
the only effectual method by which the fiscal
operations of the country could be successful
ly conducted. It was not, thatone set of men
should be removed from the,seats of power
and another set be installed into their places
for which the people the United States con-
tended during the last Presidential contest with
degree of zeal and excitement that convuls-
ed the whole country from its Northern to its
Southern extremity, but it was to accomplish
certain important measures and to establish
certain grand principles that they entered In
to this agitating controversy. The repeal OF
the Sub Treasury and the establishment of
a National Bank ere measures for which the
party that succeeded in this great political
struggle, felt the deepest anxiety, and their
success in this quarter in thcil glorious victory
Of November lS40, caused their loudest shouts
of triumph. The history ofthc late Preslden-
tial election, the uniform course of the Wing
party, for the last twelve years in regard to a
National Bank and Mr. Tylers connection
with that party, render it extremely mproba-
BILE in our opinion that he can be prevailed up
on by any consideration to take course hos
tile to the views Of the party by which he
was willing to be brought INTO power and sub
versve of the most important scheme which
they had in contemplation in bestowing their
suffrage upon him-We hope hat he will
consider his relation to the party qy which he
thathe viii listen to the voiceofthe
people, yied his constitutional scruples, if he
has any, to the settled legislative, judicial and
popular exposilons of the constitution of his
country and carry out, in his administration of
The government, the principles which brought
him INTO power.
However, there seems TO be such diversity
'f opinion, even among the politicians at
Washington, as to the course which the Pres
dent will pursue on this measure, that we can
10 but little more than hazard conjecture on
his subject whilst we are anxiously waiting
he result. p.
