The bill 10 repeal the bankrupt act was

Nothing, that we have seen, furnishes a
more complete illustration of the uncertain
~ of popular favor, than the result of this
whole matter. A few weeks since, Judge
Saunders was generally regarded as the
most popular man Of his party. Now, he
is bitterly denounced by his political
friends, because he preferred Calhoun to
Van Buren,, as President. In fact, more
than one prominent man of his party has
declared that the Democrats could get
along very well without his exeriions in
future.
In conclusion, we will add, though the

political friends, that we are well satisfied

give stated last week that it was
highly probable, from the conduct Of the
majority in the Legislature, that the
Stockholders of The Bank of the State
would surrender their charter and wind up.
We rejoice to learn from the following
proceedings that The Bank has no such IN

laturc. The Standard on this subject says
"If this Charter is accepted, and no immediate
remedy devised, of which we see no prospect, the
consequences will be more runous TO the inte-

well conceived. Besides, we hazard little in say.

can form some idea of what they will have
to suffer if the Legislature should foolishly
accept the surrender of the charter. But
