-, Duchanan In opposition 10 the Bank
DILL which we publish in this weeks paper
ne enormously denies, and with Justice the
'aise position assumed by many of the ad-
'iin'stfatIon party that such an institution
VIII meet with the sanction of the people,
or that It was presented before them as a
leading principle of the Wing party in the
'a'e contest for the presidency. So far in.
deed from its having been brought directly
before the public mind TO receive its sanction
vigorous efforts were made in many of the
States to convey the impression that Cen
HARRISON was vislently opposed to such an
institution.
he was declared TO be opposed to it, not
only upon constitutional grounds but of ex-
ped'ency, and the animated speeches of Mr..
Tyler delivered years before, were brought
'e light TO prove his uncompromising hostili.
ty to thai monster, which possessed so ma.
ny teTrors to the people. And in the ad-
dress Of an importan, State convention of
which thousands we're circulated among the
people, 1t was boldly avered as if indignant
II the charge that both of the Wing can
tIdates. were the sworr enemies Of a Ma
iona! Bank. The leading characters of the
day. though NJ doubt secretly determined
upon carrying into effect. if they ever pos
sessei the lower, this measure so obnoxious
TO the popular will, spared no effect TO ailav
public suspicion upon this subject. And but
Il few months since in tic Ia,e conrressionaI
election IN Virginia, district which gave an
overwhelming majority for Harrison, showed
clearly, their opposition TO this institution
when the question was raised in the canvass
10y giving preference 10 anti Bank men. u
is direct evidence that they assisted in
placing the present administration in power
heIIevInI that the President wonid not consent
TO the charter OF Il Nationa! Bank. That
the part Of deceit. ard the most c%larinr nv
rocricy had been acted towards them, is evi-
dent TO every candid mind, and that a people
who have always shaved their firm resolve
10 be heard in matters so clearly Identified
with their interests. Will not suffer this hide
Gus creature Of corruption to exist among
them is equally evident. The new dress in
which II may be presented will serve but to
render it the more odious. and though under
the patronage and parental care of Clay and
his satellites, it may for a while seem to
thrive in the cause Of i~niquiiv, yet when
the people shall be again suffered to speak
the curses Of their Indignation will be visited
upon the heads OF those who have so ~treacIl-
ousiy abused the confidence reposed in their
professions, and will blast forever the vie OBJ
jecis Of their intolerance andharred. In,le Ian
Huare of Mr.. Buchanan,the cry OF Repeal"
Repeal wiiI'ne sounded throughout the land
and the rapidi'y with which they strive 10
press it drought Congress will prove as the
cause ofits final & more 81 nal defeat. We in.
sert the following sensible remarks on the
of repeal from KendaIl's Expositor.
'The Why papers are deprecating the
Of repeal in reference to an United
Bank. if one shall be established al
the extra session Of Congress, %drnnuncing it
Us 81 sort of wholesale MULTI ca'ion-a will
f~acrious. and disorsanizing system of op-
position.
Congress rannot hv hw or bv contract
hind the rrople in r~ioIation Of the constiiu-
ton. In reference to that point n contract
no more binding than a law; and the other
party to such a contract is in effect a parti
CPS criminis. 1t is a conspiracy 10 commit
usurpation.
That a Bank Of the United States is un-
constitutional. has been admitted and pub
Iiclv declared by some Of those without
whose agency it mo now be established.
President TYLER declared in Congress. in
1919. iha, he so considered it. and could not
in IFS favor, "wITHouT A VIOLATION OF HIS
OATH" We have Satisfactory evidence that
ne had not changed his mind in the fall OF
$40. not one yoar ago. "The powers that
therefore cannot establish n bank with
mt VIOLATING oATHs, without A wILFUL
BREACH OF THE CONSTITUTION"
W. canno, however believe that Mr.. Ty-
er will ever sanction the establishment of n
Bank. If he does he must prove w%antonly
