election, we took time by the iorelock, and announced
that we would no longer be a candidate for the office,

THE SLIPPER.

A Supper was given to Mr.. Wise, by his Wing friends,
on Saturday night, al the Powhalan House.-A public
dinner was rendered him for Monday; but he declined,
in consequence OF his public engagements.
The Wing says that "Rrbrrt S,anard, Esq, presided
at the principal table, and William II. Mcfarland and
Wyndham Robertson, Esgs. at the others. The Vice
Presidents were, James Lyons, Samuel 5. Saunders
and James w. Dibrcll, E<qs. The Company, which
consisted Of citizens, members Of the Legislature and
strangers, sat down to supper about . o'clock, MIR. Wise
on the right of the President"
Mr.. Wise was toasted by the President-and respond.

'pourlrayed the principles which ought TO animate The
Wings Of the nation in their struggle with" (quere, Jo,)

which had been so happily begun in Tennessee, and
continued in Indiana, Ohio, New York, Maine and else.

Many toasls were given during The evening, and an
address elected from MIR. Stanard.
The Compiler estimates the number Of gentlemen pre-.
sent at 'some hundred and Thirty or forty"
Thus 60 the Wings merriIy on-hushed with the
hopes OF ~victnry.-But we see their designs and calcu.
laiions-und let US profit by them. They count on our
divisions-shall we not diSaPpoint them: They unite
together, and shall we moi initiate their example:-llis
supper is only the prelude 10 the great Jubilee we are /"
expect from them in April next, il they should carry the
State al our Spring Elections. Let US be forsraT"ed,
forcarmed.-Aye, they will give us some of their own
thunder, if they should succeed in the Old Dominion,
By the apathy or indiscreton Of our party. They will
give US cheers enough-und artillery enough-and an
uproarious Jubilee in Richmond. What say you, Re-

The New York Herald Of Wednesday says, that "The
controversy respecting The resumption OF specie pny.

classes. Fhis grows out of the continued curlailmenls
Of the banks@@- In the beginning OF May last, n ccrtain

The same paper of Thursday adds, that 'the contro

Any man, in good business, who can present unexcep-

know cases where discounts have been offered by the

who have not been prepared for the times, there is great
