1t is just as well, fir as Inst, thar tic Democracy
should understand tic true tate Of this m1tter. as re-

%rechartcr If the L. 5. Bank for IL years, fr which
the Bank was to ray 70 the government half a mil
lion e dollars. II has been stated that he supported

Pa. 1t i true that that Legislature did adj ,pt res.u-
tons in favor # a rc-cIarter, but according to the
evidence We possess. 1t opicar, that Mr.. Dall,s was
then convinced, aside from those resolutions, TINT n
bank was an institution # necessity and utlty. The
bill however was re'ooi by Old Hickory-tic best and

sustained by Mr.. Van Hurcn, while certain ohcr

against the Bank, and the only one which could
have accomplished It's downfall. We have a riolt.
under such circumstances. u suppose that Mr.. Dallas
had become satisfied, at that time. # the I'm ound-

been influenced BY NJ other motive that we can

Mr.. Dallas thus sustained Gen. Jackson. In a

For our own part, we would observe, that no man

We probably 60 further, ard feel stronger, than the
majority Of our party on this subject. They. howev-

Y speak of il, to show, that we should be as likely
: the Wings are, TO oppose Dallas ON the ground If
if there were just cause to do 50. We
owevcr are satisfied to the contrary, and ultra as we
re against Bankism, we shall support George NJ.
)allas in the full belief that his integrity is unim-
and that we can safely trust him, on this.

But we have further evidence of a later date. and
