Abstract
He has observed paragraphs in his paper [The Pennsylvania Packet, and Daily Advertiser] in support of an unconstitutional proceeding of the late Assembly, the repeal, of the Bank Charter; last Friday he sent him a paragraph on that subject which has not been inserted; unless the paper intends to make itself a party paper in this business, he does not understand why the paragraph is withheld.
