upon the " evil times" IN which we live, and
the utter recklessness Of some of those out Of
poiDer.
When hear of their propagating false re-
ports about State Banks, calculated to destroy
confidence, bring loss and ruin upon the stock
holders and distress upon our country, only to
get into power or crafty their revenge, am
bound to condemn the leaders, whilst I pity
their deluded followers. twill not do for those
out of power to say that the friends of the Adj
ministration give rise to these reports; for they
are also the friends Of the State Had Mr..
SnOwden published the whole of the article in
the Richmond Enquirer of the 18th inst, head
ed False Rumors, &C." he would have shown
the infamous attempts that have been made to
injure the Bank of Virginia for political pur-
pose by writing letters from Richmond prejudi-
al to the Bank, to some the Western counties
in Virginia, merely to influence the elections.
He might then well have said that this g trans
action is another evidence Of the evil times up
on which we have fallen"
1t will, no doubt, be admitted, that the follow
ing remarks of Mr. Snowden require some no.
tice. He says I" | shall conclude this statement
/" with barely remarking, that the whole trans
6 action is another evidence Of the evil times
/" upon which we have fallen, when officers of
the Government, dependent upon political fa-
+" vor for their subsistence, are amongst u.s.
chastity snatching up what they can catch, with
out waiting to see whether they are right or
wrong trumpeting it through party newspa-
"pers." In answer, l have only to say, that
have been taught to consider all men equal, free
and independent, whether Senators, Lawyers,
Editors, Officers under the Government &C.; and
SO long as live (whether in or out Office, shall
be ever ready to counterfeit reports calculated
to produce the most ruinous consequences, or
expose those who propagate or circulate them
and | would suggest to Mr. Snowden that he
had better cease to give publicity to unJdUora
bic runsorS whether derived from "plebeian or
patrician," without waiting to see whether they
are right or wrong" and he will cease to con-
tribute to the panic and distress that now dis
tract our country.
lreciprocate the "dspositionn which he has
expressed, g not to retort in unkindness," but
leave him in the full enjoyment of his supposed
advantage, with my unqualified permission to
pursue it to its end; and, however fragile the

with his sling and pebble, bid him adieu.

that the DEPOSITES have again been restored
to his SODA and SHERBET FOUNTAINS;
and as this is desideratum of no ordinary i'm

be made known, as its action will produce
health, pigor, and animation. Certainly none
