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.

Back again I went, wondering what else I had got to learn, for I thought I knew all about lhc clock, quite as well as my father did. . j " William, said he, l nave taught you to know the time of day, I must teach you how to find out the time of your life.
