RICHMOND. TUESDAY. AUGUST 3, 1911.
THE COMPROMISE
We are crbhed aud crowded. as usual by the volu
minons proceedings of Congress But we canno, far
bear touching the chances and prospects This inmbug
Bank Bill. The Wing presses de not app-ur s,oyu;n
of its success The Washington scribber fine y V
Express writes on the 2Sth that he "knows not wh,,
President Tyler may do, but the opinion of ererv Uhg
in Washington, ! believe is that NE WILL s,Gs rur
BILL" 1--WE shrewdy suspect, that of the Wings
have since changed their key.) The same Correspond
enl writes the Goth, "he spectators and doub,ers
still send forth their nssives 10 what the President
will do in reference TO the bill Believe of them
except those which from the Presidents friends
and who ought best TO know his opinions. The Bank
bill will become u law" (But perhaps notD The N.
Y Star (Tallmadges twinkling Star y says, "a com
promise has been effected that stumbling block, the
Bank which il is understood will meet the views of
the President and which is known to be heartily APP
proved by his Cabinet (What his Cabinet APP
proves, 10 one lhing-what the President may ap-
prove, is another They are Federalists, TO man !!
He once JeffersonIan Republican, and still
claims TO be such) TIE same Star, on the 3lst, has
the npudence to say that bill has passed the Senate,
(which he approve and which does more for State
Rights than any measure adopted for many years m
Congress TINT is TO say, the mcrest mockery and
trick upon State Rights that ever was attempted by an
humbugger upon an intelligent people , MIR. Rlses
himself denounced il as mere nominal concession,
which kept "the promise the ear but broke IL TO the

the States, which he, State Rights man, could not
and would not sanctlon.-The same glimmcrng Star
says, that Mr.. Tylers "own views and his own prln-
ciples are recognised in that bill Not one Of them
not a principle which he has formerly supported, or
has recently assumed. Not scintIlIa Of one The
bill essentially establishes National Bank, which

tramples upon the principle Of the assent OF The
States, which he now requires an indispensable
prerequisite 10 the writing Of his signature. THIS

the liberal and distinguished Wings of this city,
speak of rs eon,tngte device, miserable hum

pu, in a confession, that he is not merely destitute OF
common honesty, but Of common sense, lie may give
his signature to this bill-whch is evidently drawn up
IN this manner and forced through the Senate with
view Of either compelling him 10 make open Terac
ion of his scrupcs on the Bank Question, and thus
reducing him state Of political nsgnifcance, or Of
crushing him with the powerful opposition OF tho whole
Bank party. MIR. Clay Will not tolerate HIM IN any
other ca paciiy than tina, Of obedlcn subject he
remains with the Wing party he must connrnl-if he
refuses to conform, he must be cast out. This "com-

Some Of the Wing presses The other hand, express

the Correspondent Of the y. Y. Herald says, Mr.
