proceeds OF sales of produce return into the country

The importation of duabe goods thus far has been fair
for the present year, but not entirely in the usual
OF business considerable quantities of goods have
been purchased abroad for the SPECIE which has been
exported with that intent, in consequence of the
uaordnary state of affairs in Europe This ethux of
specie, which was beginning to influence the money
market adversely, has nearly ceased, but the mar

The late conduct of Mr. Van Buren, has drawn upon

in Virginia which we have noticed. The Petersburg
lntellgencer is the accuser 1t most absurdly charges
that "the Old Dominion driven by MIR. Richie into
the support of this man, Martin Van BUREN, not once,
but twice" 1t charges indirectly with crank hypocri-
sy" in preferring him to Gen. Harrison and it asks
whether Virginia twill again heed his advce!
Ii there he hypocrisy in the case, we will not stop
10 argue that it does not lie at door, When Virgil
MIA supported Mr. Van Buren,, he appeared faithful to
her principles When he wrote his anti Texas letter. she
felt it her duty most reluctantly to dsnstruct her dele

From the of the banbxrner press. and portion OF
the ultra whg press might suppose that the late

This from the TRUTH and has not the least foundation
The nomination of Mr. Van Buren, does not change
the aspect affairs particle has been perfectly evil
dent to the least observing for me that owing to the
course of of selfish rue-orruin
politicians this State, say tho least, was doubtful and
hesitate not to say that in all estimates and calculations
that have made, New York has been given to the
wings. H0 .at
weakens this probability far this State is concerned
Whatever vote he gets OF this State comes from WING
States and will mainly be by wings; the effect OF
this silly and selfish movement will actually increase tho
chances OF and Butler in all the northern States except
that of New York. This movement is well understood
everywhere 1t is not to advance the fortunes Of Mr. Van
Buren, for they obscured as at this mo-
and by this 1t is not that they care anything TOR
the principle they profess to advocate, Tor It is directly
opposed all their previous actions and professionals out
for the purpose Of defeating General Cass This 10
proclaimed openly, de,eminedy, and boastingy; and
they suppose-do the people at large suPpose-that
movement based upon selfish and narrow platform,
is any influence away from the immediate scene
of action 1t is not Even here there are many who
have pathzed and acted with these gentlemen In this
city and throughout the State, who denounce the whole
Utica in both loud and deep They have,
we all have been taught by Van Buren, himself adhere
firmly to regular nominations. The nominations made
they denounce because they not regular because they
refused take seats in the convention and be-
cause nominations made by 20 States instead OF

seen by any who wishes to see.
