Of these, the six first named voted for the
Bank, and tho last TWO against it.
In the House Of Representatives, there were,
also, eight members who had been members oil
the Convention-they were: Geo. Clymer, Pa,
Ihos. Fizsimmons, Pa, Nicholas Gilman, N
IL, Roger Sherman, Conn, Abraham Baldwin,
Geo, Daniel Carol, Md, James Madison, Va, and
Hugh Williamson, N e.
The four first voted for the Bank, and the four
last against it.
1t thus appears that Of the l6 members Of the
Convention, who were in the two Houses OF Con-
gfess, TEN voted for the Bank, and against it.
We also know, officially, that George WASH
ing.on and Alexander Hamilton were in favor Of
il; and we shall presently STE that Jas Madison
relinquished his objections to it, we find upon a
proper classification that the members Of the Con-
venton stand l3 FOR to s AGAINST it, or nearly in
the ratio of three to one!
This fact being established, may we not be
permitted with all due difference to the superior
wisdom Of our brethren Of the Democracy, to sug-
gest, whether it is not asking rather too much OF
us to require that shall adopt their interprela-
ton of the meaning of the Constitution in oppo-
sition to the solemnly recorded opinions of those
who made itl
In confirmation of our own views again in
woke the authority Of Mr.. McDufhe.
In his report in April lS3O-he says-"Noper
sons can be more competent to give just con-
struciion OF the Constitution than those who had
principal agency in framing it; and no admin
istration can claim a more perfect exemption from
all those Influences which sometimes pervert the
Judgment even Of the most wise and patriotic,
than that of the Father of his Country during the
first term Of his SERVICE"
;, We will here add one other passage from Mr..
Mcl)uffie's report upon another point:
''Such were the circumstances under which all
the branches Of the National Legislature solemn
ly determined that the power of creating Ma
tional Bank was vested in Congress, by the Con-
stituton. The Bank thus created continued its
operations for twenty years-the period for which
the charter was granted-during which tiue pub
lie aud private credit were raised from PROSTATE
to very elevated condition, and the finances of
the nation were placed on the most solid founda-
ton"
Ii this report Of Mr. McDuflie be sustained by
facts-and we confidently appeal to all co,empo-
raneous authority for its truth-thrn readers
will see how perfectly it answered the end for
which it was intended, expressed in the reso-
lotion of Congress Of 9th August, 1890, viz: "to
establish the public credit"
In our next number will continue to trace
the history of The Bank, and incidentally notice
the objection TO its Consttutionaliiy, which is de-
rived from the refusal Of the Convention to confer
on Congress the general power to grant charters
OF incorporation.

and adjusted, A desolating and wasting
war with savage tribes has been brough,
to close. The internal tranquility OF
the country, threatened by agilaling ques-
tons, has been preserved. The credit OF
the government, which had experienced
a temporary embarrassment, has been tho
rougly restored. Its Golfers, which for a
s'aspn were empty. have been repenish-
ed. 4 currency, nearly uniform in its va
hue, has taken The place of one depreciat-
ed and almost worthless.
Commerce and manufactures, which
had suffered in common with every other
interest, have once more revived and
the whole country exhibits an aspect of
prosperity and happiness. Trade and
barter, no longer governed by wild and
speculative mania, rests upon a solid and
substantial footing; and the rapid growth
Of our cities, in every direction, bespeaks
most strongly The favorable circumstances

Gov. Davis mud Nlr. IL ynn.

Gov. Davis has published pamphlet of IA pa
ges in reply to the letter of Mr. Ryan to the Jour
nal of Commerce, giving the causes of the failure
of the canal negotiation. We have not seen this
pamphlet, but tie main part of it, which is the
statement of Gov. Davis over his own signature,
has been published in several papers, and this we
have read. The language is what the the friends
of Gov d. would probably call caustic, but might,
we think, with much more propriety be charac-
terized as in the highest degree abusive. In point
of dignity Of style, it is certainly beneath what
nigh, reasonably have been expected from man
occupying Gov. D.'s position. In many places
it is little above the dignity of slang, aud is very
free iC is accusations OF "unfairness,' "perver-
sion of,ruth" "wilful faschood," &c. Against
SUCH or any other charges the letter may contain,
it is, however, no, our intention to defend Mr..
Ryan. We are not sufficiently acquainted with
the facts and circumstances to do 1t were we SO
disposed; and besides, Mr.. Il. is abundantly
able to, and doubtless will, attend TO the matter
himself. We do not believe, however, that the
10Y manifested by some Of the wing papers at the
supposed total humiliation Of Mr.. Ryan by this
letter from Gov. Davis, is destined to las, long.
The last word of this quarrel has not yet been
spoken. Besides in mere question OF veracity
between Mr.. Ryan and Gov. d., and the whole
controversy mus, turn upon little else, we are per
suaicd our people generally will about as soon
believe their fellow citizen, Of whose integrity and
zeal in promoting .heir interests they have hat
so much proof, as they would the renowned "blut
light" editor Of the Worcester Spy"

GIVE discover by the last Chicago Democrat
that Mark SKINNER, Esq, has been appointed

Of Mr. Butterield. Mr. Skinner is good demo-
crat, but we think his appointment would have
been acceptable to the party if he had recelv-
ed it from President Polk instead Of Capt. TYLER.
The idea of Tyler, ir his "dying agonies," CIV
Ing life to the new democratic administration, is
too absurd to be dwelt upon, and must be met
in the commencement with an unbrokcn front by
the democracy, Let Tyler wreak his vengeance
on the wings il his wishes lead him that way, but
