Bank Before and after election The "Experiment," published at Nor walk Ohio, has hunted up some of the "sayings and doings" of the whigs, at the time they were soliciting votes from tho people, and among' other reminiscences is one from the Evening Journal, in which the editor declares that the ichigs hare no design or dciire to create a National Bank. NoV, having Secured the possession of power, and being determined to fasten the monster on the people, the same editor insists that the question of a bank was submitted to the people and they gave a decis ion in its favor. The Experiment says "We noticed last week some of the incon sistencies of the federal party, end the false hood of 'their present profession. Amongst these, we referred to their position respecting a united states name. A tew more circum stances will render the stnr'emehfs wo thee made most obvioirs to our readers. Where, we may ask, in -the resolutions of the thousand meetings aud conventions, that were held previous to the last election, i one to be found recommending such an institutinn to the public? Read them all, scan every word, and it ennuot be found. "Look at the numerous fi-igs, rnottos, and sentiments, which graced their proceedings, and, while you find almost every thing ela;e, a U. S. Bank is not to be seen. Take their papers, too, and in none will your find one word in favor of such a measure: W hen it was charged that they were its advocates, tne only answer was a stout denial. I u deed, we were referred to the speech of Gen. Harrison, who said he believed such an institution un constitutional. We were also referred to Mr Tyler's speeches on the subject, expressing his opposition to such a measure. ' "Iu order, however,' that our readers may not be compelled to take our word upon the subject, we propose to give some extiacts from the leading whig papers, showing most conclusively that we are not mistaken and holding up to view the hypocrisy of Clay and his associates in claiming the last canvass as decisive of the will of the people on this sub ject. The first we take is from the AJbany Evening' .fournal, under the head of "Federal Tactics:? -) Whenever the FoderaV Administration finds it convenierTt to Commit some new atro city to meet its extravagant expenditures or cover up its profligacy,tSrArgus invariably strives to divert public attention from it by some stale tirade about a National Bank.- ' Thus we find it this morning announcing in two lines the passage of the Treasury Note Bill, and following up its brief disclosure of the irredeemable condition of the' Govern ment with uearly a whole column of objurga tory comments upon a Mammoth Incorpora tion,' that the ivhig have no design or 4??ir to create." " i -f "But if this quotation is not enough, we give one from tho New York Whig, a leading pa per of that party, published in the City of New ' But we warn the whig against enow brsg thernielvM with false is$uo.
