To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is to be an institution for transmitting Uie funds of government, to have a few officers who may " sell bills of exchange to private individuals at a moderate premium. '''' Does not this disclose the great secret of the establishment ? Who will be these private individuals to be accommodated at S7naU premiums ? Doubtless the same description of men, some of whom have been accommodated with small offices. That species of patronage has been all worked up. All these offices are discounted, God ...only knows at what premium ; and unless some office can be estab- lished to discount money or bills of exchange, the great trading mystery of political buying and selling must be at a stand. Why, gentlemen, let this bank but once be opened, and customers, wlio have left every other department of the government without accommodation, will again be seen in crowds pressing towards Washington. Place this great carcass of pecu- niary patronage out in the sunshine, and from all the different regions of our country, birds of eveiy wing and every beak will snuff the prey ; and rush on to the " mad carnaval, " filling and darkening the air with their ctaraour and their flight.
