Genfleme, IF you deem il worthy, you may give

is about eight miles OF Buckingham Court house,
in the ncghbourhood OF Willis moun'ain; and i'm the Jirec
ton oil the gold vein running through the county, from
norih-eas TO southwest.
The following extract of letter from gentleman Of
high responsibility and undoubed veracy, in the county
OF Buckingham, to his friend in this city, will probably

Van Burensm is to be held up by the Bank press

Hydra and Chim@ra, dire" is to be put forth, in aid
of the Bunk. Its battles are TO be fought under
the cloud of anti-Van Burenism This is to- be the
great tactics of the Opposition at the Spring cleo
tons. This is the de guerre which is To be
practiscd mpon the People of Virginia Thus, it is
that dust is to be thrown into their eyes-and a for
the benefit of the Bank and its allies.

1t is too early to decide it-but the war which is
upon us, is between the People and The Bank. Will
Virginia abandon her ancient faith; and strike
her flag TO powerful Institution-or, will she re-
assert her old, State Right doctrnes--and vndicate
the true principles of the Constitution? Let faction
rage, cunning mask its true desgns-this is the
real question before the people of Virginia.

of the $4,000 Editors) proposes, that the u. s.
Bank should go on, and conduct its fair business

i'm Pennsylvania prevents the present concerns of
the Institution being carried precisely the same
principle that Stephen Girard carried his Bank
ally pass-in any State, which shall deprive citi-
of his right accept the agency attorneyshp
of that Bank. This, says he, would settle the qnes
tion.-The Star is in the dark. We have already
law enough in Virginia to arrest the career of such
u ld,cless Association-and if we had not, we could
and would make one cO-extensive to the object.
But the proposition shows only the desperate lengths
