hands at this time, it must necessarily
result to become so, that regular line
of succession to Office must be estab-
lished and let any person or set Of
persons attempt to establish train and
place themselves foremost in that train
leading to this succession in Offices
those persons are as near the definition
of the term aristocrat, az can well be
in republican form Of governments
And has not this proved to be the feet
with regard to Mr.. Van Buren, 2 Was
he not appointed by Gen. Jackson, his
FIRST Secretary of State Did he nos
resign that Office because objections
had been raised to the succession com.
ing in that quarter Did he not aspire
to the Vice Presidency expressly be-
cause he supposed that he had been
prosecuted by the Senate and that
because it was preferable road to the
Presidency Has be not openly re-
ceiyed the countenance of General
jackson himself and his 10000 Office
holders . Has he no. publickly pro-
claimed through the press his detsrmi-
nation "to follow 10 the footsteps Of his
predecessors" and as bis predecessors
nominated him, may we not infer that
he intends nominating his successor
Do not the leading organs of his party
0strac;se every Jacksonman who has
independence enough TO choose for
himselff Have they not endeavorsd

imported from Englands answer il
the OHIO FARMER is an aristocratf
These are plain questions and can
only be answered in the affirmtive--
And it proves as plainly that if such .
term is applicable TO aay person il is
to Mr.. Van Buren,.
2dly. Gen. Harris9n, besides being
the son Of The signer Of the Declarations
Of Independence, spent the youthful
portion and the prime of life ia the ser-

with foreign and domestic foes, he res
tired in spLENDoUR and PRINCES

becoming TILLER OF THE SOIL. With

Bank Agsscy.--Ths success of the
applications for agencies Of the United
States Bank at Pittsburg and Provi-
dsnce, ought to inspire confdsncs as
to the result of the application for an
agency in Richmond. That the capi-
tai can be usefully and probably ems
ployed here, we presume the directory
cannot for moment doubt; because
they have the experience Of the past 81
guide them as to the future.
With the best disposition on the
part of our Banks, 70 afford all possi-
BILE accommodation, svefy one must
admit that sheir means are Inadequate
to The growing commercial wants Of
this City and We feel certain that q
large majority oil our active business
men are 10 favor Of the eslablishmens
Of such an agency. We hope the
Bank will not hesitate in the mattefs
and that we shall have the pleasure az
an early day Of announcing favorable
answer to the appiicatioa'--Ce"
