Thtotify reasonable argument ever
advanced against a National Bank
w e find in the Richmond Wliig:
We cannot forget (says the Whig)
that if the late United States Bank had
leagued with Andrew Jackson, which
it might have done, if it had been cor
rupt, the liberties of the country would
have been (laced in in mincot criU
and remembering this, wo cannot but
fear that a new Bank-w ill take - warn
ing from the fate of the old one, and
will never permit any scruples of virtue,
or any regard for the public welfare to
endanger its existence, w hen it can save
itself ly leaguing with a corrupt Exec
utiye. True, It may be said that it is
not within the range of probability that
the country will ever again - be cened
witn ruicrs so profligate and abandoned,
as those who now atd latcjy bore awayi
but there is a possibility of it and a-
patriotism, by all means to provide,'
A little argument holds good, howev
