PRESIDENT VAN BUREN, IN
VIRGINIA.

The Charlottesville Republican Of the first
instant, thus chronicles his movements:
DAT four o'clock on the morning Of the
2sth, the President left Richmond, and ira
yelling by railroad to Frederick's Hall,
where the Louisa railroad terminates.
His private carriage was waiting for him,
and he proceeded on to Louisa Court
House to dinner, the citizens of thar place
availed themselves ofthe opportunity and
received an introduction to him. From
thence he travelled to. Castle Hill, Abe.
marie county, the residence of the Hon.
VIM. G. Riyes, which place he reached
after night, and remained with that gen.
tleman until Sunday evening, and then
proceeded to Edge Hill, the residence of
Col. Thomas j.. Randolph, where be re.
manned until Monday night, and then came
on to Charlottesville; he arrived here
about 8 O'Clock, P. NJ. and took lodgings
at the Eagle Hotel. In the course ofthe
evening several of our citizens were intro
duced TO him, and passed a very agreea-
bic and social hour ia his company. He
appeared to be in the enjoyment of very
good health, and we think, looks better
than when he. was last IN Charlottesville, in
November, 1885. Yesterday morning at
5 o'clock, he left Charlottesville on horse.

answer the following questions?
LIST. Are You still of the opinion that Con-
gress has a right to abolish slavery il the Dis
trict of Columbia
2nd. If you believe that Sub-treasury, such
as proposed by Mr.. Van Buren, and advocated
by Mr. Calhoun, the best plan for the collec-
tionand disbursement of the revenues of the
Union, do you not think that the States ought
to adopt it for the collection and disbursement
Of Their revenues
3rd. As the sub-treasury scheme, as pro-
posed byMr. Van Buren,, requires the reven-
ues Of the country to be collected and disburs-
cd ngoldand silver, do you not think it highly
proper for the State Of Mississippi to collect
and disburse her revenues in gold and silver!
9TH. Under any circumstances would YOU

fuse your support to any measure that Mr.. Van

VAN BUREN, NULLIFIERs.

we nave deep ana aDldlng sympathy
for our friends who have espoused Van
Burenism, with its Proclamation, its Force
BID, and its Expunging. By leaving their
first love they have placed themselves in as
an awkward situation at the most cross
grained man would ever desire to- coyet.
The Van Buren, Locofocos say that Mr..
Calhoun and his friends have embraced
their doctrines,-and Mr.. Calhoun says
that the locofocos have come over to his,
awhile man exclaims, "see all things fol
my USE"
"see man for mine, exclaims the pampered
goose"
Who would hare thought that in few
short years such prints as the Washing
ton Reformer and Vicksburg Sentinel
would bow down in humble alteration at
the shrine of Van Buren, Democracy
Who would have imagined,-aIthough
their imaginations might have been as
vivid as that of seer's-that John c..
Calhoun, the pride and glory of the South,
the brilliant and intellectual Statesman,
would have bent his knee at the foot of
the craUen New Yorker! Tho world
wags wrong, or else the fire of ambition
is lxindled too high in the breasts Of some
Southern Statesmen and their admirers.
Is the Sub treasury scheme the only meas.
ure that wins them with 6 Syren's song
to the Van Buren, Charybdis Is it
that that scheme is Southern Measure
that induces them to forsake old and long.

the reason Of this sdiUorce, we viii tell
thenlit Is a allacy,- yes, dangerous falla.
cy! Is it the South that only supports the
sub-treasury scheme? No-the North
ern Van Buren, prints laud it as the only
scheme that can preserve the North.
" Who shall decide when doctors disa-

Calhoun With his intellectually, and in the
desire Of the former to occupy the Presi.

will repent, deeply repent, in dust and ash
