farmer living in Nansemon@ county, who IS dissa-
sed with present Senator, Mr.. MAXWELL akes1his
opportunity Of saying TO the public that he npes
may he brought ou against him f not opposed to him
in political point of view, at least one wiro we have
every believe, will stead in the confidence OF
the people, one who is net aberceed political turncoat;
one who will not disgrace his seat in the Senate, by
giving his unconstitutional subject, before he
amncs The Constitution that head; and ore. who will
not fly to keep from defending his corntry when Gus
country's foes laundering at OFT doors. Now, we
all know, (he people of this d.trict) VIXEN MIR Max
well elected supply vacancy in the Senate
Of this Stale occasones by the death Of Colonel Holt,
he was brought Out as Jackson man: supported by
the Jackson men, and elected BY the Jackson men
for Jackson man, By very small majority q
Wing, Capt john T.. Cuhnon But mark his course
Finding the Wings had majority in this District, he de-
ernlncd not To be 4 jackson Therefore, at the
next Senatorial election, VIXEN he appeafsd before the
Of the Buroygh Of Norfolk after Mr. Cunn;ag
ham, tie Delegate who then represented the borough,
had addressed the people, and who said in his address,
g That he had abandoned Jackson, Mr. Maxwell ;hen
and said, 81 am not like my young friend my
right have no, abandoned Jackso*-for j never
Jackson man " See how he twisted and tried TO
tort his political See this open.hauded, bare
faced political twStrr al one time saying lie Jack
man, and possessing the confidence of that party
but did he end That he likely lose his
seat in the Senate. than he embraced Tie Sue:rnes held
by the Wings. lie came out and openly proclaimed
that " lie never was a Jackson man. This political
who, when Gen. jacksons administration had offended
them, at say, they could stand it no longer
And. if | must say WHIT think Of MIR. MaxweIls
preston above aluded to, say with fSm thai believe
he Jackson nan, OF any 0tSer man,
neither Federaist Republican, Wing nor Tory, but
awayG that party which, from his designing views,
he thought might result TO his private advantage
have good grounds tor these suspicious pclons
growing out Of his political condrct. @r. Maxwell, as
all must suppose: getting disappointed in his czpec
taons for being Jackson man, ard thinking that ar
avowa Of different sentiment might rssct to hs own
private good deserts the FIRST scheule and olns the Wing
ranks But doubt whether THIS caprcious and twisted
politician will contlnGc OF the opinion lie now pro-
trssrs 10 entertain any logger than the Wings continue
10 least him their bounty, until he sees that
change will operate 10 kts own private advantage
Them he will flee from the Wings and unite himself 10
that party which he thinks is strong enough 10 sustain
him. He will then turn those who suHpcst him,
aud with the looks Of old Moipch in has counte-
nance will huI the aaining fiery eurses on the heads
OF those very prrsos who now give Eirrr their sup
port, and with whom he goes hand in hand. He may
then cndeavor 10 Justify his conduct by saying: have

10 justify my opinion III relation TO Mr. MaxweIls
COURSE. could hays to a nuinbc, Of gspat
Statesmen and authors: but let quotation from the
great Patrick Henry, for Tire present suffice He said in
The Convention Of the Delegates of this State, in March,
IT'S That he had but lamp by which his feet were
guided and that the lamp of cnperieRcr- that he
knew Of way of .dgjng The fatupc but IS the past
Then judging by the past we must uneGulvocaliy and
forsooth declare, that the above Judgment pronounced
on him must be true, and that dependence whaeveS
be placed in the Senator .hrmncss.
Mr. Maxwell at tie lis, Senatorial election, while be-
fore the people Of Nansernnd, after avng addressed
the voters, by way Of justification Of his in the
Senate, requested by Mr.. r. NJ Ballard to say,
whether not in his Judgment the Bank of the United
States was constitutional Instead of saying what he
thought in relation to the constuonality of that ns
!ution he quibbed and qubbed but finally said, in
der TO get clear Of direct Fhat he hua
examined the Conssa.o that subject.
On that, let each draw his inference. Can
Mr.. Maxwell say he is not an Aboltonist; with all
those free negro hard-5is which published
raj years since, staring him full in tie face; His
public life, will apologize for ALI CITIZEN"
