 In the shifting of opinion among able political econ omists, as above stated, observe signs oi rad- cal change in the public sentiment, and the distracted sentiments of many O. the whis nl of Congress, and the doubts of the executive hm elf afford pre ty sure evidence that revolution ia going on in the public mind wbich will thereafter in any Com gress a majority who will, under circumstances, sanction the charter of a National Bank
