LAFAYETrE Il TUE GOVERNOR AND Co1-SCII
| 1t will be seen, b, an extract of letter from
Richmond, published below that the legislature
Will not probably make an appropriation To meet
the advance ri the governor and council for the
reception Of Lafayette at Yorlltowu and that
the sum OF 10000 dollars will fall upon them
The authority is So respectable, that we eau
scarcely doubt 1t; and vet the act will be SO dis
graceful, that we can scarcely believe il.
! When shall this wrctched policy end Hero
is radlcalisn with vengeance, The high the
generous, the chivairlc state of Virginia refus-
ing to perform an act which would be the boast
OF her sons to the latest posterity. Tell it not
in Gath.
We hope most sincerely, we believe
that the people of the state will meet the demand
at once; and We believe. further, that moi an,
! individual who votes against this appronri,tio,
will ever be troubled by the people with ana.
ther trip to Richmond. The voice of the n,ess
will he heard. We viii Ger, aloud, and spare
not" ourSSter states,-yhat will they say
what will they Think let us look to ourselves
Ii was not long since said bl a distinguished in
dlVIdual, that Virginia had lost every thing bu.
her honor. Let Us take care of tIat Away
with this narrow Richmond policy. The 10 O0o
dollars may lie in the treasury and rust. AMI the
chanker thereof may rise to the heavens. but
I let 1t be remembered, that 10000 dollars will
never buy one .onest tmob of the soul.
! We CannYt believe that the lpoisIaturn veil
| be so lost TO respect for public opinion. and
we may add to our public character as To reies,t
tins bill. The extract of the letter we puhIi,h
J Is from respectable member of the house: an!
we should DO injustice To ourselves To orr pat.
! rons, and the reputation OF our state. if we ra
framed thus uuequivocaly to treat the matter =.
1t deserved.
