A Noteworthy Coincidence.

We are informed by the public journals, that
the Trustees of the Bank of the United States will
make their final dividend on the 2sth of Septem-
Der, when the concern will cease to exist in any
shape"
BY a curious coincidence, the Wing State Cen
trail Committee of New York. anticipating by two
days the final winding up of the Bank of the United
States, have called Wing State Convention, to
meet at Syracuse on the 26th of September, on
| which occasion that concern too will, We suppose,
be finally "wound up"
The original idea upon which was founded the
National Bank and the Wing party, has had its day.
Practical men no longer take any interest in it.
We live, fortunately, at time when, in spite of
our commercial legislation, the material interests
Of the country, though by no means in so prosper
GUS condition as they might be, are yet suffi-
GENTLY SO to allow some scope to the moral senti-
ment The most that the Wing party ever
promised US was material prosperity. That we
have to some extent, through the bounty of Pro-
violence, without being under any obligations for
it to politicians of any school, A National Bank
is an obsolete idea, and SO is the Wing party
New York Tribune.
The Tribune, a few years ago, regarded the
Wing party as the only truly republican party
in the country. But when it discovered that
it was unable to control its movements for the
benefit of VIM. II. Seward, it abandoned it
and set up for an Abolitionist on its own hook,
and for the special benefit of Mr.. Seward.
Other men regard the Wing party as obso-
lete and efiete, and have united themselves with
the American party. For this they are de-
nounced and vilifed by the Tribune, notwith-
standing its open abandonment of the Wing
party and utilization with the Abolitionists and
Disunionists. Now, it strikes us that il this
is a free country, a man has full as much right
to join the American party, which is an Union
loving party, as the Abolition party, which is
an Undertaking party. If Wing or Dem
ocrat is to be denounced for abandoning his
old party organization and joining the American
party, why should that Wing or Democrat be
applauded who leaves his old party organiza-
ton and unites himself with the Abohtionists
and Disunionistsp
The truth is, the Tribune and tho Union,
and the other presses affiliated with them in the
work of vilifying the American party, are
playing very shallow game, which is easily
understood by the masses Of the people. They
have united their batteries against the Ameri-
can party, as the Harmony Hall Unionists in
this city formed league against the same party
at the recent election. The result, we predict,
will be the same in both cases. The Sag
NIGHTS of Harmony Hall were completely pros
trated by the Americans Of Washington in
1865, and the Sag NIGHTS Of the Union at large
will be routed and annihilated in 1856, by the
Americans Of the United States. II is true,
they may manage to patch upa sort Of tenn
porary fusion at the coming State elections,
and in this way elect few constabes or coun-
ty officcrs-but when the great Presidential
contest comes off. and Sam takes the field in
person, it will be another affair altogether.
Then the Irish and the Hessians--the Adolf.
ionists and the Secessionists- Know Some
things and the Sag NIGHTS, will go down to-
gether, and the American peoples candidate
viii be triumphantly returned.
