EWING VERSUS CLAY.

The pretence of Mr.. Clay that the issue
Of Bank or no Bank was made and decided
in The Presidential canvass, has been
shewn to be false, by the speech Of Mr..
Badger Of ihe Cabinet. circulated by the
Whig Convention of North Carolina-by
the Address of the Whig Convention of
Virginia. We now have the letter Of Mr..
Ewing Of the Cabinet ito the same effect,
which, says the Richmond Enquirer.

'.That though the issue Of Bank or no
Bank was rendered to the Wings, they dig
reclly declined it. Srme Of Them not on

Tyler, therefore, throws himself back

DAGoN IS FALLEN.-The Bank oftbe Uni
ted States has breathed its last. The mon
ey article of the Philadelphia Ledger thus
notices the event:
There Was some little excitement crea.
ted 10 day, after the rising Of the board Of
brokers, in consequence Of the announces
ment ofthe fact that the Bank oflhe U.ii-
ted States had made an assignment of all
its effects. real, personal and mixed, in
trust, for the benefit of all its creditors; to
James Robertson, the acting President,
Mr.. Taylor, the assistant cashier, James
S. Newbolh, Herman Cope, and James A
Bayard, of Delaware. This result, SO inn
mediately after the departure of Mr.. Jau-
don for Europe, on the eve Of which the
stock of the Bank rose up from S3-4 to
1914 per cent, seems extraordinary. The
consequence was the fall Of the stock to
90 SO per share, and an increase of the
rate ofdiscount upon the notes to 3O, and
in some instances 10 35 per cent. The
object Of the assignment, it is understood.
was to be rid Of the repeated annoyance
of suits which were daily Increasing. The
action, commenced by our city authorities
for $50. 600. part Of which belonged to
the Girard Trust, we have heard intima.
ted was the immediate cause of the final
giving up. II is now taken for granted tha'
the hope Of ever resnscilating the Bank
is relinquished, aud that the assignecs will
proceed as rapidly as possible in the mat.
ter of liquidation.

from the source it does, corresponding
with every act Of Federal treachery, TO
obtain triumph over theayowed, uncom.
promising, and constitutional principles
of the Democracy Of the country, it may
be well enough to place alongside OF the
professions and practice of Mr.. Ewing be-
fore the people, and see whether he, with
his Federal contemporaries, have. been as
expert gamblers with the peoples suffrage
as IN Bank stocks, land scripts, and other
splendid schemes of personal aggrandize-

the subversion of all thalis valued in the
Republican principle of our Government;

matter of convenience useful article of

furniture was convenient or necessary
whether we should have table or settee
standing in our halls-whie their sappers
