From 1820 to 1630, there was a slow
ana cauuoua mcreasn ot oniyN memy-wo
tanks in the country, and" the increase of
capital was only $eve miliums nine hun
dred and tighty-one thousand jicc hundred
and jijly-teven dollars, while under the Ad
ministrations; of Jackson and Van Buren,
from 1830 to 1837, a short period of seven
years, the Increase of Banks was thbeb
HCBDBED AND POETT.E1GHT, with S capital
of nearly thek hukdibd hiluons or
DOLLARS !
On examination, it will be found that
two : hundred and twenty-four out of the
wlnTenumber of Banks chartered from
1830 to 1837, were chartered by Jackson
and Van Buren Legislatures, while their
opponents, in the saare time, only chartered
one hundredj and twenty-four, with a capital
of little more than sixty-two millions, and
these designed for local convenience, where
the veto of the U, S. Bank bad deprived
the pcopUhof those commercial facilities
which they had previously enjoyed.
We make these remarks that our readers
may see what confidence to place in the al
most unceasing cry of the Administration
against the banking institution.

conclusive proof that the mass of the peo

This gratifying change has, we believe,

has given a very large increase in hep whig

Back again I went, wondering what else
