i
meet in the City Of Richmond, OIL the second
Tuesday of January next, deservedy merits the
most serious consideration OF all the good peo-
pie of this State. The time has arrived when
every friend to the stability Of our Republican
instructions, and every well wsher to the peace
and harmony of the country, should take a
most active and decided stand in putting down
that mad spirit of opposition which has so
long, for party purposes, agi,ated and menaced
the very existence Of The Union, and which, it
not timely counteracted by the virtue and in-
teligence OF discerning public, will eventu
ate in the elevation Of a mere military Chief
tain" 10 the first office under the Constitution,
a man whom his dearest friends admit to be
every wavunworthy 10 be numbered among the
successors Of Washington The friends Of
Gen Jackson confidently calculate on the sup
port Of Virginia at the next election, and have
already denounced any attempt on the part OF
the Republican party OF this STATE 10 test their
strength by means of Convention directly
emana,ing from the people, as an innovation
on the established order Of things, and Of course
calculated 10 weaken the influence Of the I.e
pisla,i,e Caucus which if is expected will be
brought 10 their aid at the ensuing session
of our General Assembly. This is no time
for neutrality, it behoves every man who
is not Indifferent 10 the welfare Of his country,
to take stand on one side or another Of this
important question; all that is dear 10 freemen
is al stake and al such time will Virginia
fold her arms, and suffer herself to be bound
CAPTIVE TO the car of successful Cheitaln,
whose only claim 10 the first and most dislin-
puished Office in the world, is, confessedly, the
victory of single day. The friends Of Mr..
Adams BY no means despair OF the vote Of the
'Old Dominion they are diligent and active in
various parts of the State, nothing deferred by
the threats of their opponents, for they firmly
believe that if The mist is once dispeled from
the eyes of the people, the course of the oppo>
sition will be so plainly perceived and It's SELF
ish object so gloriously manifested, as no long
er to merit the confidence and support OF that
honesty and good sense which has always
characterised the people of Virginia.
1t has already been announced that meeting
will be called in Norfolk County TO appoint
Delegates 10 this Conventions; and in Princess
Anne one will also be held for The same purpose,
and as the importance OF this ancient and pat
riotic Borough is known and felt in all parts OF
the State, it Is not consistent with her honest
support of the present enlightened Adminlstra-
ZION that she should remain silent on this ALL
important measure; il is therefore intlmated
for the dispassionate consideration OF our citl-
zeus. that a meeting will be called here some
time in November next, TO appoint Delegates
IN The Convention TO be held on the second
TUESDAY in January, at Richmond, for the pur-
pose of submitting to the people OF vlrg,sia an
Adams electoral ticket. OBSERVER.

much speculation; among naturaisis, must have
been mere pismy in comparison with this
monster. The largest appears to have been
the left upper Jaw bone-it is twenty feet IN
length. three in breadth, and weighs upwards
of twelve hundred pounds" with a remarkable
projection, in the form Of horn, about nine
feet long, and seven or eight inches in diane
ter, which must have been weapon OF defence;
the other bones are in exact proportion. The
yertebra or back bone is sixteen inches in di-
ameter, the passage for the spine nine by SIX
inches, and the ribs nine feet long 10 what
species these immense remains belong, we be-
ieve, is yet, & perhaps will ever be des'dera>
tum, il is generally supposed, however, that it
as aquatic or at less, amphi6ions in its nature;
its race is no doubt long since extinct.
After seeing these bones we can scarcely any
longer doubt the existence OF The kraken and
other monsters, whose history has generally
been considered fabulous.
