SMALL NOTES

We understand that the right to issue notes
below fire dollars will be given to the banks in
this State, at least that it will pass the House of
Delegates It's passage through the Senate is
more doubtful. We have merely noted this at
present for future comment, not having the time
necessary to do the subject justice now. We
learn that some distinguished democrats in our
vicinity have given the measure their approval.
Democrats, indeed We shall hereafter examine
their claims to this title. What, lust at the mo.
ment that the General Government are attempting
to effect specie circulation, and the Banks are
Tightening the screws by refusing all discounts,
we are told that it is wise measure to oi We the m

and that to be done too, by a Democratic Legis-

AS will be seen by an advertisement in to-day's

Richmond, where he has already established

from Maine to Louisiana, for we believe he has

Since he reached ibis city, he has collected
larger crowds 10 hear bis speeches, than almost
any stump speaker Of the day and he seems des-
lined to do driving business in his way. His

he was seized with some distressing symptoms,
and the physician CDR Hall) was sent for-and
he had scarcely entered the loom before Mr.. Tay-
or was seized with a convulson, and in moment
ne breaihed his last. We leave it TO Mr.. Drom-

his abilities and his virtues. Virginia could not
