Banks.
FOR THE ESQUTRER.
The meeting at Shutters Hill, in Fairfax county, on
the glorious 4th, was one of the most numerous and
animated gatherings of the Democratic party That ever
assembled IN Virginia. Great interest was impaired 10
the occasion by the presence of several members -
Congress-, from different States; aud Among them was
The Honorable Mr.. Fandcrpoel Of New York. This
gentleman was reared, and still resides in kindcrlooh,
the native village of the President. And being called
upon for a speech, answered the call in a most eloquent
and effective manner. In the progress OF his able
speech, he related many incidents, connected with the
early history and career Of Mr.. Van Buren,, which have
never been published to the world, and which give TO
our worthy President additional claims to the admira'
t,on and support ofthe Democratic party.
am told, that MIR. Vanderpoel has been request
ed by the Committee of Arrangement, at Shutter
Hill, and by many of the gentlemen who were pre-
sent, TO write out his thrilling speech; but that the pres
sure o. his engagements IN the House VIII render u
impossiblc to comply with the request.

mansions Of his fellow men. His voice has the poieli-

within the compass OF it. When lie speaks, The ire
