93By what authority do some of the good whigs
of this town assert that Mr. Polk is an intemperate
man? It has never been claimed by any of the
whig papers, but that Mr. Polk is a strictly moral
... man in every particular. We suppose the whigs
have circulated this report to bring our candidate
on a level with theirs; but it wont do, gentlemen;
. n.ole are not disposed to believe such lies.
You may be called on by name iu the Spirit of De
mocracv to substantiate your charges. How would
you like it? -Wonder how some of these sapient
.v! i..rnt that Mr. Polk had but one arm?

TllB BANK OF THE UNITED STATES
The whigs now avow a bank of the U. States to
- be one of their leading Vneasures. Some boldly
and fearlessly advocate the chartering of another
Vint, notwithstandine they refused to make it a
nuestian in 1840. That they did refuse to make it
a question in 1840, we presume is not now denied
by any intelligent manr Not only their candidate
f th Presidency, but all their stump orators,
with probably a very few exceptions, either denied
that the chartering of a national bank, was then a
qoestUn before the people, or remained non-committal
on the subject. Thomas Ewing, the head
and form of whiggery in Ohio, alleged in a letter
Kv Mm Hurinar that campaign, that a na-
hank was not then a question under consid
...:n. No sooner, however, do they obtain
power, than they immediately introduce a bill for
fastening on the people of the United States, an
other bank, with a capital of fifty million.
Let us examine for a few moments whether the
late bank of the United States was entitled to the
confidence oi the people; if not, it is fair to pre
sume that another bank, chartered upon the same
principles, would not result for the benefit of the
imrnla. and the safety of our free institutions.
". In the report of the bank directors of 1833, will
be found the following resolution, wnicn u is st-
' ted in the report was adopted by the ooarq
directors on the 11th of March, 7831 1
"Retolved, That the President (of the Bank) is
hereby authorized to cause to be prepared and or-
i.i-A .,.-1. Wtimnta and Diners as niav com-
CUIKivU, uva. www - , . (
tmmieaie to the people mformatummregard to the
nature and operation vf the Bank."
- After the passage of this and other resolutions the
Directors, in their report, say
"The expenses incurred, as stated in the expense
account, in executing inese resoiuuom, uu
cember 1829, when the firit at$auli was made on
the Bank by the rrenaeni, io uie presem um,

and 1888, amount 10 ooxov v.,

During that period, the total expenses under the

. amounted to S10607 73
Of which, the proportion for the de

And for the miscellaneous
V expenses of books and
.,inn.rtr i 46.792 69
... , ; v. J 8105.05773
So that Ihe general result is, that within four
-ears past the bank has been obliged to incur an
expense of $58,000 to defend itseU against tnjuri,

' Now what was the "auauU" made by the Pres.
Ment on this institution" in 1S29 ? It is the follow
toe. from bis annual message of that year t
;,- "The charter of the Bank of the United States

among tli people. Accordingly the following
resolutions have been adopted by the board,
Among the resolution here spoken of is the one
above quoted. Now will any person deny that
liis is virtual admission that the bank had enter
ed into politic? But to show that the bank bad
entered into politics, we give the following extract
from the report of the government director of
that bank t
"In pursuance, it is presumed, of these resolu
tions, the item of stationary and printing was

We have been thus lengthy in this part 01 our
extracts not knowing well how to curtail them.

of the Bank, we can find the foulest abuse of the

not rather an alarming state of aflairs when a large
moneyed Institution, deriving its existence from
die eeneral aovernment, so lavishly and reckless
ly squanders money to abuse chief magistrate of
this republic, and a portion or that money, 100,
belonging to the people at large. The bank direfr
tors, when charged with this lavish expenuiiure,
haui-htilv sav: "Of the time, and manner, and

at a time when the bank had some eight or ten
millions of the people's money in its vault
It is claimed for this bank, that after the close ot
the late war, it compelled the local banb lo resume
specie payments. Is this true? - By reference to
Mr. Cheeveb' report to the itockboldor made in
1822, we find it to be in fact bankrupt, and depend
ing on these very local bank, which it is claimed
it had compelled to resume specie payment, for
existence. Mr. CheevesTu hit report, says
"The institution commenced active operations
about the first of January, 1817, and in the course
of that year established eighteen orancDe.

advantage of immense ' government deposites,
feieht millions of dollars.) The curtailments at
all noints. within eirfit months, were $6,530,000,
The specie in the vaults on the. Close
of the day on the 1st of April, 1819, was only
aim MS and 28 cents, and the bank owed to the
city banks, deducting balances due to it, a balance
of $97,1 25 and 99 cents. It is true there were in the
mint $267,000, and on the road from Kentucky and
Ohio, over land, vzou.uuu; oui me ireaiur

Accordingly, on the 12th of the ame month, the
submitted by them for th regulation of th bank 1
was always voted dowfa by Biddle and hi friends.
We could also show that the amount of money
loaned to members of Congress, at the time when
the Bank was asking Congress for re-charter,
was sufficient to carry a measure of that kind
through almost any legislative body.
Then we ask our readers, after taking into con
sideration the admissions made by the bank direc
torsthe statements of the government directors
the refusal oi the bank director to permit the
government director any participation in the
flair of the bank the amount of money loaned
to member of Congress can we not say with
safety that such an institution is dangerous to the
safety of any people?
"The queition, Mr. Speaker," said James K.
Polk, on the floor of Congress, "it whether toe
thall have a republic without a bank, or a bank
without a republic." This, then, is the question
for us to decide at the approaching contest.
We use the term, "bank directors," for the pur
pose of designating those appointed by the stock
holders from those appointed by the government.
We may resume the consideration of this subject
hereafter.
