lures, anu la'I 10 pass 'nIs, we snali Iail lar
short OF the jus. expectations Of a suffering
Ipeople. But the passage of this ONLY,
WITHOUT ANY OTHER MEASURE,
would have fully justified the convention oil
Congress- a+
This bill, and yet another, i, will be re
collected, passed whig Senate and Con
gress, but; thanks 10 John Tyler, he could
not, in violation of his own oath and the
Constitution of the ". States, sanction such
Iagbill. II was for these ve,oes, p"s Mr.
Clay, in pouring ou, ',he vials OF b is wrath
upon the devoted head of the President,
gave u,,erance to the following lachrymose
sentiment,to be found in his speech on thai
occasion
Il came to Washington at the commence
nent OF the session, with tho mos, conf
dent and buoyani hopes, that the wings
would be able Ia carry al their prominent
measures, and ESPECIALLY A BANK
lOF THE UNITED STATES, by far
the one Of the creates, immediate import
ance
In his speech at Macon, Georgia, in A
pri last Henry Clay made use Of ,he fol
lowing emphatic language:
j AM IN FAVOR OF AN us. BANK;
all nations show us the example,
In his speech al Charleston, South Caro-
lima, about the same lime, Mr.. Clay spoke
as follows: ,l -tsI I u
4 'lconiead tbal il is pecesssry to4chsrler
y Naiionsl Bank, 10 regulate and control The
monetary system, and keep it from explo
sion and mischef-lhat a NATIONAL
BANK is necessary to secure a National
Currency, which is as necessary 10 a nation
as laws
These things, together with the fac, thai
The whigs, when they had a majority in
Congress in l84l, passed no less than two
Bank Bills, which would have become p
iav, bu. for The manly independence OF
President Tyler, IN veIoing them, are e
nough to satisfy every one, that the whig
party, 10 the event of success, is pledged to
lhe establishment of National Bank. YET
still, here the wings and whig orators have
unifolmly denied It.
We took occasion, in our paper Of the
9th ult. TO publish an extract IRON the
speech of the Hon. Joseph Il White, late
inl whig s,umper, made to the young
wings OF N. York. last month, and pub
ished in the New York Express, Whig
paper, in which he Is distinctly represented
as avowing it as one Of the leading meas
hres of The "hig party The extract reads
| as follows
The Wing party stand again, am com
lpelled to say commilled to the issue 7of A
NATIONAL BANK, (applause.) know
there are a set ol men and politicians in the
whig ranks who 60 agains, Bank, but it
s idle to deny that this is whig measure,
and whenever, whg orator or editor d,
nes the issue, his whigism should be Mis-
trnsled; He was either ignorant Of what
was whig principle, or being wise he
sought 10 conceal it, For Que / will rather
Than abandon one wing prih6iplc-
The policy was comprehen.
slve one. 1t embraced the interests of the
whole Union. In the west Tariff war
conceded 10 the North to protect her in he.
manufactures, but the Wesl, the whole
Valley OF the Mississippi, asked for a Ma
nonal Bank TO regulate the Iade and ex.
changes of the country. The Yves. de
mands National Bank, and who says nav.
The balance OF trade aId exchange is in
Wor of this city, aud though we in New
York did not desire National Bank, there
we've !hose who did, and they were bound
with us IN one common bond Of faith -
| Applause,) speak from and for whie
principles when say that National Bank
vas one OF The issues OF 1910. Name the
institution wha! you please, but give il The
power and principles Of great naiional
Regulator, with power 10 equalze the cur
rency.'
This extract was pronounced, by som,
of the JACK DAw WHO'S in this region, a
mere fabrication. 1t SO happened, however
that Mr.. White himself, was here on FRI
day nigh. last, the 9th uIl., 10 address the
wings, ON which occasion a general invita-
Iion was given TO the democracy to attend =,
when The following letter was addressed TO
nim;
