The Bank in 1876, when, as member OF Congress,
he voted Tor ns incorporation, ard supposed 10 oe
both an internal improvement and tariff man-in

Cabinet unoer whose directions the Baltimore
Cony enton acted, nre evidently under the i'm
preston that Virg mia is already committed,

a man, who by some means or other, has acquired
considerable popularity in that region. This is
the secret Of the matter and accounts for tho noml

friend Of the Bank and of laritud,nous construction
ofthe constitution, by patty protesting to regard
the Bank as monster and to hold the rights of the
States in special trust VIVA, say the people of
