The people of Appomattox gave public Dime,
to Mr.. Bnoock and Col s. ID. McDearrnon on Fri.
day last. 1t seems to have been a sort OF medley Of
politics and internal improvements designed to com

The latter for his excrtions in securing the passage

we thought ill-tmcd, especially in the pre-

WHO voted for the late Virginia resolutions
and whose feelings therefore might well
have commended to Mr. b. some little for

have put up with all that, possibly, if he
could have induced Mr.. b. to take stock
in his road. We do not know whether
Mr.. i. regards plank roads as ''nnconstitu-
