ere those who are now enjowing the triumph
. of their anticipated division of the p!under,
as they seem 10 consider the only monied in
situiion Of the State, will be visited with a
displeasure at the hands of the people OF the
State, that may perhaps make some Of them
repent this days work. The great Labor
interests Of Missouri, which has no repre-
sentative in the Bank, will not quietly sub
NIT 10 such ostracism--the commercial elias
Of our great metropolis will not be slow to
feel their deprivation Of customary facilities
and both the one and the other are too In
dependent not TO vindicate their rights when
outraged, and claim what is due them at the
hands of Banks which were chartered TO rep.
resent and accommodate the people and not
the politicians.
Mr.. President |, for one, have never
hesitaed 10 enter into combination with any
and all independent representatives., to pre-
vent this bank from falling under such po-
litical influences as those which seem now
TO be on the point Of obtaining control. But
sir, while freely acknowledge to have u
nited for such purposes, and in a great
measure during the last four years TO have
succeeded in accomplishing the object aimed
al, can yet say, with equal confidence,
that those who have been placed in control
Of the Bank by such action have ever justi-
fed the confidence reposed in them, and in
no case failed TO administer its affairs solely
with an eye to the demands of legitimate
business and the wants Of the different elias.
ses of the community.
To understand what follows we give the
subjoned interrogatory and answer, from
the published reports Of the proceedings Of
the Legislatures:
Mr.. RAIYs, of Jasper, Gam. SEM
would ask il Mr.. Palm did not write a let
ter 10 the New York Journal of Commerce,
and if he did not declare in that letter that
he was in favor of emancipation Of the ne
groes in the State Of Missouri?
! Mr.. ZIEGLER--He did so. so have many
very good anti Benton men declared. con-
ceive there is great deal Of difference be-
tween emancipation and freesoiism.
Mr.. BRowN, Of ST. Louis-The Senator
from Schuyler, (Minor) sir, admits all that,
that has been charged upon bis friends. 1t
is for the sake OF his party and not for the
sake OF his country or Of the bank, that he
is in favor Of this nomination. And is it
not shameless admission 10 come from a
representative Of the people, on this floor,
that The mere organization Of a party is Of
more value with him--is Of loitier consider.
alton than any interest of Tie country or any
question before the people,
Sir, should blush to make an admission
OF that kind, or TO hear it made by any gen.
tleman claiming TO belong to the party with
which | have acted in this House. As far
as have anything 10 say in this matter,
wish TO dlsclalm any party views, or any
party object, for tell the Senator, hope
the party with which have acted have moi
regarded this matter as one OF party. We
have made no nominations, and we purpose

sented here, is composed Of strange material

read that letter-as much as the Senator
from St. Genevieve, (Ziegler) has tried tc

freesoi document, and while | dislike every
bone in Mr.. Palms body, give him cred
for his sentiments on that subject. Laugh

when the people will rule for their own ben
