Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Hill, of New Hampshire, on Mr. Benton's Expunging Resolutions I intend, in the remarks I have to make, to no tice the charge that the Operation commenced by an attempt on the part of the friends of the ad ministration to make the bank at Portsmouth a political bank; and the statement that the bank had taken no part in politics, i'he testimony on which the charge and disclaimer have been based, is the authority and word of the President of the bank. I Shall confront these statements generally, with other statements coming from the same quarter; and if I shall fail to prove by the President of the bank, that the President of the bank and the aforesaid Senator charged falsely when he charged the attempt to make the Branch Bank at Portsmouth apolitical engine ifl shall fail to demonstrate, on the authority of the President of the bank himself, that he had entered, with all the money of the bank, into the political arena, 1 will concede that the friends of the bank have not been quite as much in the wrong as the enemies of the bank have alleged.
