Of the public lands, and to Bank of the s.: Were
these his opinions known TO the voters before and
the day ofelection: And did not many vote against
him. and others again decline TO vote because OF these
opnions3 Yet the face of all this he is denounced Tor
his consistency in conscienousy carrying on his pre-
vioasy expressed and recorded opinions. That DR. NJ
has always been 4 Stale Rights Wing, and ot course
opposed to Bank Of the Y. 3, is we'll known, and
his able and memorable report 10 the Richmond Com
nercta Conven:ion in which he takes strong ground
against such institution, must be fresh IN Tie minds
OF most men.

IL is little remarkable that the Committee who re-
ported these resolutions, all gentlemen of worth, and
prominent Wings, should have relied upon the Globe
rather than the lntcilgenccr, for the report OF Dr.
Nalorys remarks in presenting the memorial from
