muncaon OF the inst. would simply state, that the
resolutions presented TO the meeting Fluvanna Court
house OH lite last Court day, presented by the commit
lee to the meeting and from the Isteness of the hour
they acted on, and the me cling was adou rnej
until next Couri.-These facts were published with the
resolutions, for the purpose Of informing those who were
absent from the meeting, that such meeting took place,
aud that the commi tee presented those resolutions
WHICH, certainly the opPosers oil those resolutions, could
not Ohject-as they would thereby see their nature and
could oy the next court day, receive them substitute
others III their place. IL was mere matter OF iniorma
ton that these proceedings published The Doctor
Is very sensisive upon the subject and thinks his rights
are nvade; and he processes out with Of
fact as he calls il but think in his parzan zeal he has
mistaken his opinions for facts Now the resolutions in
your paper were not made 10 express the sentiments
the people OF FuvaDns; for with the resolutions was
expressly said that from the laeness of the hour meet
ing was adjourned until next Court He says the only
ateness OF the hour and he adds fact they should
have said large majority OF those present opposed
TO them. This was TACT, impossible Tor me to deter
mine unless 10 determine il by the ne w
docirine that, because the meeting was adjourned until
next court, that adjournment implied that a Insiori
was opposed to the resolutions could attribute the adj
ournnent to no other than the aeness the hour
III not why the necessity of COL Strange's proposing 10
meet at light in the morning and continue until 10 clock
large majority was opposed to hem How easy to have
decided the question: without meeting at such unusual
early hour, disturbing the of the good people the
county, and hair sing them all day and part the night
upon subject on which such Handsome majority " as

vote on them. But the Doctor thinks the whole fact.

chapter by ending with nothing out The facts. n The
Doctors good memory had styped him well about the
expressions OF the resolutions and note attached thereto
as the resolutions offered 10 the committee he would ar.
rive at others, than the fact, that presented the express
sons OF the sentiments OF the people OF FuyaDDd. ii the
Doctor had considered. 'ha, the fact OF majority Of The
meeting being 'hdndsome," the whole meeting must
nave been more "hdndsOme." The Doctor thought FIRST

very existence OF the Bank itself was upon e
decision OF our county meeting. The Doctor ssys as
well his memory serves him." such and such were
the resolutions offered by Colonel Strange. I think
