Parte tools, who stop at no means, however unprincipled, to effect their purposes,' may read, in the approach ing desertion of Reuben M. Whitney by the faction which he has served with a zeal worthy of a better cause, and meriting, from them at least, a juster reward, the fate, which sooner or later awaits all such mercenary and corrupt instruments. The New "York flatnattkler savs: - "Mr. Gouge, the author ef thsHistiry of American Banking, Jia written a pamphlet in favor of the complete separation, of Bank and State; and Reuben M.
