Inal!y appeared IN the Cnion 7inaes, copied
into re- ghborlng Democrat. making as we
hcleys an unwarraniab!e II not base attack
upon this Bank. AT the time this article
first met our eve, we were at loss to acct
lor II. not only because Of the high reputa-
Ion OF The Institution. but OF what we ever
supposed to be the good natured and mot
ienslve conduct OF the editor OF the Times.
It's hasty appearance in the columns OF Mr..
S.'s paper, on reflection, has relieved all
doubt and difficulty. We happen 10 know,
from good authority, the relation in which
the Editors, sr AT least one OF them, has Tor
some time stood towards that Bank, and
hence The authorship Of The article in ques-
Iion. Il is standing rule with all Banks
never to discount tine paper OF any man,
no matter how unquestionable may be his
endorser. so lone as either NAV have note
ia Bank unpaid, and under Prolesi-yet,
not wIlhslaDdIng this rule, we know from
good authority that al least some of The
very persons who now endeavor to lDlure
the Bank and assall its affairs, have been
more Than once thus accommodated. Agar
we say hence the authorship Of the article
that appeared IN the Times. As 10 any
"facIIOr" alluded to,we have not word t(
say. We know OF no factions, nor do VI
care for hem but i may be as well TO ado
that the faction referred TO have ever beer
able to manage their own affairs. in every
situation in life, and need no assistance
from US. But the Bank which sustained ;
high and enviabc repu'aion through every
difficulty, whi'e Others have been crushed
carry ing ruin and distress IN every quarte'
is very different question. and OF it vi
have feI. /, our duty TO speak.--Mitol
