Gen. Ashley, the late very respectable Representative in Congress from Missouri, and a candidate for re-election, says, in an address to his constituents, that he voted for continuing the public money in the Bank of the United States, because he considered it safe there, and because he believed it for the interest and convenience of the nation that it should remain in that general establishment—and the Secretary of the Treasury acknowledged his faith in its security: "and I feel assured (adds the General) that two-thirds of both Houses of Congress were, and still are, of that opinion; and would not at any time have voted for the removal of the deposits: but, as they had been removed by the President, through the Secretary, to sustain these officers they voted against the restoration."
