Prospectus for new political paper, proposed to be
established in this city, by THO. WALKER G1LMER,
Esq at present Delegate in tho General Assembly
from the county of Albem1rIe.
AIR. Gilmer was at time. E ltnr of the Virui-
ma Advocate, published at Charlottesville. In that
capacity he acquired high reputation, deserv ed not
tl,>,
'nent than blythe courtesy and lib ,rality which dis.
tingHshed his department towards those with whom
he differed, ard freedom from tina, spirit of raAa in
tolerance, arrogant dictaton, bloated pride,sand
mere man worship, which characterised some others
with whom he was associat ID, the successful
attempt to secure that great blessing for their coun
try-THE ELECTION oF GENERAL JacNsnN To THE
PRESIDENCY.
Retiring in short time from that station in order
to devote himself to the profession of Law, MI
Gilmer subsequently, tw ice returned from the
distinguished county OF Albemarlc, to the General
Assembly. His career in that body REQUIRES no
comment No member of 1t unites in greater de-
gree, the respect, confidence and esteem Of his as
sociates-none who more combines the present pos
session of high alton, with strong assurance
that time will increase and extend it.
Such is the gentleman who proposes the estab-
lishment of new paper at the Metropolis of Virgil.
MIA, conducted OH the principles of free and in
dependent Press, devoted TO the peculiar doctrines
of the Virginia School, and to her .'permanent inter-
ests, and those OF the Union" When we consider
the wide limits of the State, every part looking to
the centre fer nformation-the exceedingly unset
tied state Of public affairs and political relations
indicating that the immediate future is big with
stirring controversy, and irIJsrous events to the
integrity land much we fear alas! to the tranouitv
of these States-the tried abilities of the Editor
and above all, the extensive apprehension that ns
dous attempts have been made and are now making
to commit Virginia in anticipation, to the political
fortunes of Martin Van Buren,, and the CONSEQUENT
and general wish, to counteract and defeat the move
ment-when these motives are reviewed and weigh
ed, we entertain Nttlo doubt that the Public will
comply wiIhhe condition precedent (of 500 subscri
