TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

FettoIo Cftizens!-The character and conduct OF
Our public men have long presented a copious theme
to tho editors and politicians of the country but
the time has come for the people themselves
to take part in the discussion. They have look
cd on in silent wonder at the singular scenes
which have lately followed each other in rapid sue
cession' at the seat of government; and though
thoy saw That there was much which they could
not approve, there still fingered hope that things
were not SO bad as they appeared to be. But the
recent disclosures at Washington have at last rent
the veil, which venal and mendacious press had
thrown around these transactions, and exhibiting
inc conduct OF our public functonaries in it's true
colofs, nave made the face of every true American
burn with indignation shame. 1t is rirht then
that those who have no interest in the public con-
Germs, distinct from that of the people, and who
feel tor their countrys honour their own should
now speak out, and whether they have contributed
to'bring this disgrace on their country. las many

speak with fraulSness, aud all that he asks is that
his remarks may be read in the same spirit of can
