We have never seen in any paper tissue Of

the National In elliaencer hss thought proper TO
transfer from the Winchester Republican to it,
own columns, under the head of a. Firginid Con-
eeF"s. The motives of the InteliseIcer cannnt
DC concealed or mistaken. The same insdious
poiicy, which has induced them 10 scatter su.pi-
cions among the people. about Caucusses and
COMBINATIONS; the same which has prom: ted them
'o s'H up the Jeaiousies OF the citizens o. ~ York
against DE WW Clinton and Martin Van Buren,:
the same in'idious policy has instigated them to
'epuoish The article in question. They would
rouse the suspicious of the PeopIe of VryIni.
they would have them ID believe that they are
governed ny Juna that il is this Junia who is or
posed TO the present admin ion that II is tb.
'uh'a' VINO would plunge he People of Virginia
into political excesse-, from which sverv riend OF

that they are Circulating assertions which were Ut
ierly untrue.
But what shall we say of the Author of these
unblushing misrepresentation? Can h. he

ourselves bound 10 expose his gross m,,enre-
sensations.
FROM all that we have ever Witnessed land we
nave not been Indifferent spectators OF passing
evenis) we deny in the most explicit, manner thu,
there Is any Junla which rules the national Politics
OF Virginia. The attempt TO trace The origin and
oesisns Oh th's Junta to an Arisocracy, which
prevailed before the Revolution, is as pIeuoste
rou., as 10 assert that such Junta exists /, !.
iaise that any Junia any set of people in yir

Union, that they NAY steer her as thew will: or
that by having the power to do So, they may
bring the other States into their measures. and thus
appoint 10 offices In the General " erumen whom
.heJ please. We solemnly believe it 10 be
