THE DESTRuCrIvES IN VIRGINIA.
We find il stated, in The Globe OF Sat.
urday evening, that Mr.. Calhoun. at the
opening olihe sitting Of that day, "pre.
ssutcd resolutions from meeting Of the
citizens OF Buckingham county, Virginia,
AT which, Charles Yanccy, Esq. presided
"a venerable Republican Of Mr.. Jeiler-
sons epoch, familiarity called the Wheel
horse OF democracy in Virginia !" that the
resolutions declare "that the extrn session
Of Congress was uncalled Tor, iniudicious,
and productive Of an improper expenditure
| oil the funds of tho nation; that the ques.
ton between the Independent Treasury aud
a National Bank was no, made in the recent
Presidential contest, or decided by the re-
suit of III that Congress have no power,
under the Constitution, to incorporate II
national bank, under any namo or form.
whether il be established in New York.
Philadelphia, or the Distric, OF Columbia"
&c. /; and that, should such an insiltu,ion
be incorporated, they bold it 10 be can
indispensable duty TO wage against it an
unceasiDg war, and to use untirng excr-
tons TO secure its RErEAL ut the earliest
practicable day." We further learn from
the Globe, that these Vlrginians, passing
by their own proper organs in the Senate.
directed that their proceedings be sent to
the lion. John c. Calhoun, Of tho Senate,
to be laid before that body.
II is also stated in the Globe that % Mr..
Calhoun recapitulated the resolutions. and
said be need not tell the Senate that he
concarred most heartily in all their senii-
mcnfs."
We note these points, first. in perpetual
memory Of the fact that MIR. Calhoun con.

threat contained in those resolutions TO re.
peal Tie charter of bank, should such
one be established in the District Of Co
umbia, or elsewhere in other words, by
act Of Congress to annul contracts and
abolish vested rights.
We note them in the next place. for the
purpose Of showing how feeble tho nssn-

able to rally in Virginia in favor Of this
doctrine of the Destructvts, which was

GENTLEMEN: The Locos on yesterday

and purposes, a miserable abortion. Maj.
Yancey commenced the discussion--but
il is useless to say any thing OF his speech,
for am satisfied that you, who did not
hear it, could give it almost verbatim.
Col. Bondurant replied, and sustained tho
Wing cause well. Mr.. Thomas Bocock
replied. and Col. B. rejoincd. There
were but forty or fifty in attendance, Of
whom at least Is were Wings, who were
merely lockers. on. But the chief failure

Of these Factionists TO arouse the People

distribution, and tariff; aud do nssure
you that il was, in this respect. " flash
