The bank bill Of the last session had
been charged by our opporeGts as a hum
bug, got up for the sake Of carrying The
election, and there was no reason why
the present bill would not turn out to be
one, and be denounced al The next cleo
ton. Singular facts had been ascertain
ed about members writing home TO their
constituents, for petitions 10 furnish them
with q bottom to stand on. A petition
on this subject had been presented this
morning by the member from jackson,
signed by a strange mixture OF Wings
and Democrats. An editor OF a certain
paper bad assailed the efforts now max
iOg against the rechartoring of banks,

been in existence thirty years, with a
perfect knowledge that their affairs were
TO be closed when their charters should
expire. Only four Banks had applied
for an extension Of their charters, and
the currency committee were aware of
it. Mr.. B. expressed his intention of
Withdrawing from that committee, as no
had determined 10 have nothing more 10
do with it. He objected to The bill on
the ground that its rovisions did not cor
respond with lis tille-lhat it was not
