port the measure, after being convinced OT almost unnumbeied petitions, that the tentiments of their people had undergone a change. This remark, however, does not apply to the delegation from the Wabash section of counwv for although there was reason to believe that a change", to some extent, had been wrought there in public opinion, yet that change was not indicated to the members by petition or anv othtfr tangible source. In-ns-much a».the Bank bill has passed, we can only hope that all the blessings which its friends anticipated from it may be realized, and that as few of the evils may ba witnessed which it* enemies had fearfully dreaded. One of its best features is, that tbe faith of the State is not pledged lo redeem the paper of the bank.
