p. p. Barbour for Vice President. to adopt
such measures as may best promote their e

whether they would on either Of the Others"
What then becomes Of the only apology
for the support of Van Buren, in Virginia?
| Do not these Indications show that Virginia
has, under a pretence of kcering the party
