The limited States Bank controversy seems
to have ceased for brief period with the pun
llication of Mr. Lppincotts letter, but 1t may
well be apprehended that it is but the orlel
calm which precedes the tempest. NlcnoiaS


Riddle is not a man to be driven from the neIo


so easy as many persons imagine. he .as
commenced in calm and quiet manner, WIN
GOODNESS of temper and sort OF easy lndliier-
ence, which abundantly evince that ne is pre-
pared for long sel-to, determined tn1t 1t
shall not end in his defeat if it be in the power
of ingenuity and ability TO preventlt. There
is a degree of good humored selfpossession
manifested by the man which we cannot fail to
admire, however decided we may be in our
convictions of the weakness Of his cause.


If we Judged of the merits of this contro-
versy by ordinary rules, we should find good
deal of presumptive evidence In Mr.. Biddle's
favor The man who has the weakest side in
a dispute is generally the first to lose his tenn
per. While the adversaries of the ex-presi-
dent have exhibited undoubted signs of lost
equanimity, the great fnancier himself is as
cool as cucumber-"calm as a summers NOR
ning." We observe that r. M. Whitney has
poked his nose into the discussion, but he seems
to attract but little attention. Reuben is one
of the small fry in this business--there are
larger fish in the pan just now. Biddle is
probably preparing letter with regard to the
worthy Mr.. Lippincott, and we entertain very
serious apprehensions respecting the welfare
of that gentlemans epidermis. Biddles reply
to him, we venture to affirm, will be one of the
incest specimens of impudent writing ever laid
before the public. 1t is great pity that be-
fore the investigating committee of the United
States Bank brought Biddle before the coun-
try in so rough manner the members thereof
did not accurately count the cost--they cer-
tainly forgot that they had to deal with man
second in ability to but few in the nation, fa-
miliar with all points of attack and defence,
and perfectly able to protect himself as well as
to inculpate his foes.


The people of the United States, however,
have no reason to regret the course the con-
troversy has taken; for, more than any other
course, it has served to bring the truth TO light,
and before the affair is settled, we shall all
know precisely how the blame ought to be di-
vided.-N. o. Picdyune.
