put forth in Virginia by the Wings themselves the
Ann-Bank candidate, and thence argued, that he. Gent
Harrison. presented to the people the AntBank
didatc ergo the Bank could been ISSUE and
could be properly charged with rccrcancy for voting
against since. This is naked shmec catch and spc-
cla pleading by ercdtable either his ingenuity
his fnnncss.
Ii he had permitted that Wing Address speak for it,
self he would have found tina, did pledge General
Harrison any particular in relation to the Bank;
Reference made. is true, letter written, in 1922
by General Harrison, and expressing his opposition to
Bank constitutional grounds but this reference made
to shcw that General Harrison's bases the
side Of Bank, aud that he would not be likely to advo
cate except in the OF absolute necessity to the
Administration OF the fiscal affairs Of the Government
in which alrcady made manifest by actual and hard
eSpcrence) all minds would agree upon its constitutional
~, and unite for its rc-establishmcnt.
Ii Mr. Wise, the he addresse, this specious
argument the People, will read that portion OF General
Harrsons letter Sherrod Williams, wherein he declares
that he would suppoa Bank whenever It should be found
necessary fiscal agent the people apPovedn; and
then read the paragraph his Fort Grecnve Speech in
which he aveed that he would sign Bank Bill whenever

National Bank properly guarded and
regulated shall be the last man, II elected President,

There is another view Of this subject which VIC do not

OF the Wings, and without regard their wishes in the
premises, the issue Of Bank Bank forced
upon tbe country, and By opponents. They never
ceased charge the Wings with being the Bank party Ii
steeoyped accusation rung and rung again by every
Democratic Speaker, and Democratic Press from
Maine to Louisiana; and yet the Anti-Bank party
thrust from power, and that which Increasingly de-
the Bank party installed in its stead The
Bank, then. issue III the contest of 40.
But allowing all Mr. Wise's reasoning be JUST does
yndicste him from that restless cnmiy and vndctve op-

Besides, he admits, unhcsitatngy the Constuonay OF
Bank Now, allowing that he does regard this the
proper re-estabish Bank ought that spirit of
concession and appreciation great and common ends
which hitherto cemened the great Wing party and led it on
to triumph have prompted Mr. Wise yield his indyi
