son.
Mr. Sebree nominated Or. J. Lowry.
Mr.. Winston arose and earnestly adj.
vocaled The claims of Mr.. Walker 10
the bank presidency, because of the
valuable services rendered by him 10
the Wing party. He thought it was
time few Offices should be distributed
among the wings, and appealed to his
political friends to give their support
he wanted them TO come up and face
the music.
Mr.. Young said he would face the
music; he would scorn to sell himself or
his party feelings for the paltry
consideration of few pitiful bank
offices; he cared not what might be
said, he would dare do his intentions
in the face Of The gentleman's blacklist
frown. The anti. Benton men had as
sisted the wings in the election of Mr..
Watkins TO the speakership, and also
in the election of Mr.. Geyer to the
Senate; other wings had also been cleo.
ted by their assistance to the offices of
directory and president. He would
vote for DR.. Lowry, as he was man
Of irreproacha able character, and none
dared 10 doubt his position. Intima-
tons had been received by him before,
relative TO marriage of portion Of
the wing party, yet he scorned TO be
counted in such a contract.
Mr.. Winston was unaware of any
intentions on his part to- dragon any
one. DR.. Lowry wBs known to be an
impIacable enemy to the wing party,
and if he could once get the ascen-
dency, he would employ every effort
to crush and suppress il. 1t was pro.
posed to reward the antics for their
assistance to the wing party, by pre-.
senting them with few pallry. piliful
bank Offices, as the gentleman had
termed them. He knew such propo-
sition would be rejected with indigna.
ton.
Ifthe antics voted for wing nomi.
nees, it was from sense of duty, be
lieving them TO be better qualified and
more Unidentified with their principles
than others made, and not from any
expectation of reward.
Mr.. Young replied warmly, and de.
MED any intention or desire to reward
the antics for any especial services rem
dered to the wing party.
Mr.. Dougherty moved to take a re.

Further discussion happened upon
the condition of the Bank at Fayeue
and lis management, arising from an
apparent discrepancy in the report On
that subject, in which Messrs Temp.
kins, Jackson, of H., Roberts and 9TH
ers, energetically participated.
Mr.. Mcpherson said he would not
vote for any wing proposed for the
Presidency of any Bank. The demo.
Gratis had always had the Management,
and chief control of the Banks, and he
intended TO let the responsibility rest
with them. He would not vote for
any one who was not honest, capable
and efficient, yet he desired never to
see wing in any of those Offices
True, much had been said about bar
gain and sale between wings and antics,
but il was not true. In their extremity,
when they were in greatest need of aid,
few Of the antics came over, but not :,
he believed, actuated by hopes of po'
liticaI remuneration, but from convic-
lions of duty. AS he always wished
to rcciprocate such kind favors, he
was willing, whenever desired, to sup.
por, their candidate, and if the same
thing had happened with regard to them
