BANK CnMMIssIoNrR-

GEN. BYRp.--We are informed thatthi man and his Whig eeadiutors are assang Gen. DrEw for having retained the office of Receiver al Batcsve after his acceptance of the nomination of Governor They, ai the same time, with most infamous dis regard of truth, proclaim that Byrd has resigned the office ofBadt Commissioner, and present his course, in this respect as a model of patriotism and poHti- cal purity
 h relation to Con. DREW, this is the fact Ne gotaties were pending with several creditafe of the Bank, the managementof which had devolved upon the executive raceiver; and to consummate which. his aid was especially requisite In addition to this, before another commission could have reached there courts were held at which il was of the utmost m- portanee, to the Bank that her proper agent should be present. Under such circumstances Gen. DpEw could not resign, without very materially eopard- zing the interests of the Sate and of eose he did not
 Lot us now look at the matter, in relatonto Byrd. He has been an avowed candidate for Goyeraorsince December last; but he has not get resigned his office of Bank commissioner. He still retans that office and is receipiag t6e saia5y about 5 day. luis true, he gave notice more than month since of his intention to resign Gfier tRe 20M Septefbcr leaving about five weeks unexpjred, of the term for which he was elected. That this notice was giyenin good faith and that he will comply with it, we have no doubt; and Tor two reasons: h3& il will enable him 10 shirt out of the very troublesome duty of making report of his ar2ioas lqbors, and of the condition of the Banks; duty for which his en- dowments either in finance or literature, qualify him aboutas well as Cumanche Indian. The dis iiaciioa he won, some years age, in reporting his Bank iabors, can scarcely leave him very strong desise to attemptit again. Ia the next place, it may be noticed, that lis iiof appointments o address Ac people, ends on the 2lst of Sep'e@5er. Thus there being no longer any necessity for his travelling al the expense of the State, he will aqguaa .#oasig re- sign tho office of Bank coglmissioner.
