On Monday last, the citizens Of Richmond (not OF Hen.
rico couny entertained for three hours and half
by discharges from heavy piece OF ordnance, mounted
Tor the especial purpose OF demoIshng Andrew Jackson
But he is too familiar with the sound OF cannon loaded
Dh ball, by the enemies OF his country, to be iniiinda
ed by the idle explosion Of blank cartridges II the ora
ton delivered at the county Court house, (by Mr. Chap
man Johnson) designed TO influence ne appro ,ch-
ing election, hazard little in saying, that the
pecta.ion will be Disappointed. The audience upon
that occasion, consisted almost entirely Of the citizens
Of Richmond, who are known TO have formed q most
decided opinion against the Admins ration, and in IA.
OF the U. s. Bank and determined 10 sustain the
candidate who will do every thing his pow er TO break
down the former and TO perpetua,e the latter. Any
tempt to convince Them therefore was entirely matter
oil snpereogaiion. But the people OF The county proper
and from whom the friends Of the great moned dig arcy
have most to lear, were not presentor least
them that the assembiage might have been strictly and
properly denominaea Town meeting very large
majority OF the voters residing in the county, both above
can obtain decidedly opposed the renewal OF the char
ter OF the u ). Bank aud in favor Of the present Ad.
nsraon although they do not approve of all its acts
and they will shew Ivy their the cleo
on that they still determined TO support the Pre.i.
dent of their choice although he has denounced by
his old enemies and by the mnions the Bank as ty
rant aud usurper They regard the Bank of the United
States monster encirclng the whole country in its IA
tai COLL aud threatening like the serpent which
LAGOON and his SOM, 10 crush the Union atoms. But
Long Tom Cou in the Pilot, says (vhen spe akDg of
whale which had been harpooned she creatur is in his
furry, and il will soon be with him"
As il seems TO be in vogue high paces) to tell
Dutch anecdotes may perhaps, be excused. for
ing one which illustrates in very forcibe manner the
OF argument adopted by the friends of the Bank
relation 10 the removal Of the Deposites.
In one OF the Western counties Of this State, there re-
sided many years ago, lawyer Of considerable emnenre
and ga popularity and influence, not only with the peo
pie, but with the Cour-so much so, that thong ht
he sometimes assumed rather dciaoiis manner towards
the magistrates upon the bench. Upon occasion this
lawyer, (whom shall call Mr.. Az engaged in the
argument OF cause whilst Duichman was the presid-
ing justice OF the Court The opposing COUNSEL Mr. b.,
interrupted MIR. A. 0hough in very polite nanner) by
correcting some error into which he supposed Mr. A. had
fallen: whereupon Mr. A. flew into very furious passion
and during the ebul ion OF his wrath treated the ouri
with considerable dsrespeci. The presiding Justice how.
ever, instead OF reprimanding Mr.. A. Ieveed his EN-.
lire censre at poor unoiendDg Mr. b. and said in his
Dutch accent "Msher b., you mustn't make Mishter
a. msd de Coort vii sbend you Jail, il you msksh
Misbter A. mad agn. So il is with The psrzans OF the
Bank the present crisis in political affairs: instead of
visiting their wrath upon the heads of Nicholas BIdde
Co.. the real authors Of the present Distress they reserve
all their Indignation Tor the President Of The United States
who merely attempted TO arrest them in their awless and
unJus,ilable course. NARROWLY.
