A resolution against rechartering the Bank of the U. States, has passed the House of Representatives of the New York Legislature by a vote of 73 to 41, after a discussion of length and warmth. The long arm of the Federal authority, from all accounts was active in the origination and decision of the question, the Secretary wishing to sustain the premature introduction of the question in the President's first and last message, by the authority of New York. It is obvious that he has mounted the U. States Bank, in the confidence that he can ride upon its unpopularity, into power. So that, even if we wished well to the design of putting that institution down, we are under the necessity of distrusting the Secretary's views. The discussion has kindled a war between the Press of the city of New York, and the Legislature. A Mr. Otis, on the floor of the New York Legislature, made a charge of bribery, thus stated and thus repelled by Noah. Other editors in the city, had likewise repelled it, as all doubtless will.
