| He spoke in high favor Of United States Bank,
and denounced III strong terms the hard money sys,
tenn and Suh-Treasury scheme. Mr. Custis told
The people, that Mr. Aworth had been brought
nut as candidate by General Bayly and Robert !.
Pouson, ana that the whole brigade Of the General :
political followers in Acconac county, did not exceed
IN number half dozen whilst Mr.. P0u!son Admins

that he did No" feel competent sag; but t. the
pediency and necessity of one, lie hud doubt, Mr.
Awor,h made sevc!al direct but Intellectual efforts IL
draw from Mr.. Gusts, whether lie adopted Gen. iiarr
son opinion to appropra,n9 the surplus 10
the emancipation ofslavcs Mr. c. spoke 10 minutes
in aluson to the questions, but did not reach the point
of enquiry. II ascertancd from their colloquy,
that the last Presidential election boa these gentle
men voted the douhe.h"adrd ticket Judge White $
name recommending il to Mr.. Ailworh, while the
Of Cen Harrison gained it favor with Mr.. Gusts. So
it would that Mr.. Gusts favored the election Of

his preference for the SrbTrcasury, but declared that
he would mol vote for Mr. Clay under any circum-
stances. With respect to Mr. Rves, Mr. Gregory said
that I unable say whether amaority Of his dis
trict favor opposed to his reelection to the
United States Senate; and having been asked whether
ne considered the letter which he received IRON ppr
ton % his constituents requesting HIM 10 vote for Mr.
Riyes private public, he SAID that it private
and therefore would not produce it. Thus, it seems,
that the influence Of Juno in Williamsburg dor
understand that out of the city there but two
names subscribed 10 it, one from iork and from
James CITY countless has been powerful enough 10 IN
ducc Mr. G.. 10 vote for who obnoxious 10
himself and nearly all his constituents, and for whom
he had snlmnly and repeatedly pledged himself not TO
vote. The people Of York and James City counties,
however, have been long under the d.ctation Of a
few individuals OF the ancient metropolis, that they APP
pear to be unconscious Of their slrvtude and they
submit without TO be bridled, saddled, whipped
| aud spurred.
