PonL If T;rD;,,o


The day for elec,ing the President Of this lns,tu
ton is rapidly approaching, and the efforts Of those
who are opposed 10 the present incumbent, continue
with undated violence. Proxies have been obtained
by them from all quarters and no have been left
untred 10 secure their object. 1t TO be pretty
generally understood upon the street, who 10 succeed
TO the Presidency, who is TO be the Cashier &c. |
have heard many Of our largest merchants, who are
Stock holders and who keep the valuable accounts,
that this Bank has express their entire satisfaction with
the Executive officers Of the Bank. They have no
fault 10 find, and consider that the interests Of the
Stock holders and Of the Banks would not be promoted
by . change. | would suggest, therefore, that the
Stockholders in the country, and those in neigh
boring towns, who have given their proxies should
come TO Richmond day two before The election,
and ascertain the facts regard to the excitement got
ten up against the President of this Institution. Let
them satisfy themselves, whether the profess
ed for their interest," by those most nctive in this
fare is sincere or whether they have private
pque to crafty, some private end in view, either
for themselves their friends, by The changes which
they are trying 10 effect
aThere are mere things in Heaven and Earth,
Than are dreampi Of in your Philosophy
But leaving out of view these suggestions, am con
WINGED that nothing can be gained for The Bank by
changing The Cashier and President. No one es,eems
ready and willing any one to confer upon him the
most distinguished honors. But the Presidency Of the
Bank cannot elevate him in the estimation of his
friends step above where he stands; and far
as salary is concerned, lie would be the loser by the
change. The Bank is now, and has been for time
past in an improving condton-she is doing well, and
has able and efficient officers in command Recollect
