For j he IrlpuRe
Messrs. Editors: Your Philadelphia cores
pondent Of the 1st inst, says among other things
Now, no one knows Nicholas Biddle and at
the same time is ignorant of the inordinate and
restless ambition w hich has given rise to so many
glorious bubbles"


Will you confer favor on one who does nOt
knop N cholas Biddle, and who also shares the
ignorance above described, by informing him what
are the glorious bubbles alluded to by CRITIC,
and how they were inflated by the inordinate and
restless ambition of Mr.. Biddle Granting the
ambition, where is the sequitur OF the bu bbles
made out!


In the matter Of the the United States
Bank by the iron-handed man, and the consequent
removal Of the deposits, Mr.. Biddle was rather the
soap-dish than the blower of bubbles, or even the
pipe-stem; and in his last desperate effort to save
mass of bad debts BY an illjudged speculation in
cotton, he was as it seems to me, rathar prompted
by the straw-catching energy Of drowning man,
than by ambition, either inordinate or restless.
In the working of the ruin which followed that
w1etched financial civil war, where The iron
hand stayed, and where did ambition begin
In producing this effect, they eonscDtane
Gus and concurrent, or consecutive causes and
how much is to be attributed TO each7


Yours, in the pursuit Of knowledge
