When this article was c6nmcnced, the
only object was d inform The people how
grossly they had been imPosed upon BY
Mr.. Claiborne, in the abuse to which
through him, the frI,lFiag privilege ha'
been subjected; but VIC could not avoid in
the mem time, a (ew remarks upon tn
system of frauds that have been for severn
years enacted by those who are "clothet
with little brief authority The facts il
relatior to M. Claiborne can exercise nj
influence on the election of Monday .ant
Tuesday, but they will be borne in mind by
the people, and At some subsequent perio(
m7y be brought up-in judgment agains
him.
If Mr.. Claiborne has talents, combined
with integrity, and is found worthy sea
in Congress, men of all parties will be rea
dy to unite in bis behalf Bat until We arr
in possession Of stronger evidence than any
with which he has yet furnished the people
as to his fitness for the responsible Office f
which he aspres, we shall be constrained
to hold on to our old opinions, that he is to
tally destitute ofall the essential requisites
Of an honest politician--a mere party fave

GovERYoR OF VIRGINIA. Just see hoy
a Governor of tho first water disposes Z
Benton's notions of an exclusive metali
currency, which involve, Of course, tn
overthrow Of all Banks. Mr.. Benton ha
ever been regarded as the most faithful
exponent Of Gen. Jackson's financial fooIe
ries, or, rather, the source of them, and a
the Coryphcus of disparity. These Virgin
ia Governors, and New York and Miss.
sipp Senator's are making sad work Of III
integrity Of the great Democratic party.-
