means of drawing in his new notes, with the
evident intention of trying to evade the for
feiture of the charter by palpable violation
of it's intentions. If he refuses to pay specie
for a certain length of time (three or four
months) for the notes thrown out as the,
currency of the bank, and which it is bound
to redeem, his charter is voidable by its own
provisions. His attempt is to escape this
provision, by issuing the old notes, instead of
the aeap. He makes them, to all intents and
purposes, the issue of the new bank, They
are issued on its responsibility, to perform
the functions of the paper Of that bank; and
yet Mr.. Biddle expects Coy issuing curren-
cy which, although bound to redeem, he
means to disclaim, and which the old bank
will not be bound to redeem, because issued
fraudulently) that he will escape the penalty
of issuing an irredeemable currency! This
fragrant outrage with the federal party will
pass for honest patriotism, Hating the Go
vernment of the people, the greater the
wrong done to it, the more right to them"


We have seen the United States Bank,
in various stages of its proceedings, seeking
to evade the provisions Of its charter, to pro-
mote it's private ends, and where evasion
would not answer, it has resorted to defiance.


But what can we expect from an lnstitu-
ton, governed entirely by foreign influence;
an institution that refuses to grant dollar
to the honest holders of its bills, in this coun-
try, while it is striving, by every means in
its power, to send specie abroad to enrich
foreign monopolists and bankers2 We have
found that Mr.. Biddle's avowal, that "ou1
first duty is to foreign nations," is by nc
means mere theory he has reduced it tc
famous practice; and is giving the country
a specimen of the high toned morality and
chivalrous honor of bank whiggery, that


would deny promise to pay at home, drain


the country of its last dollar, and subvert the


government itself, to advance the interests


of British Stock Jobbers and foreign and do


mestic Jews.


Let our fellow citizens look at the state


ment of the Bank in 1888, and no Longer
, wonder at the baneful influence of foreign


over our domestic aristocracy:
