And this was christian mothers answer TO
the fearful little culprit, who had struggled with

to screen her fault! With disappointed. dis

moment was crushed in her little heart the

The Republican Of Monday morning, in an
article on Small. Norris" makes the follow
ing statement with reference 10 tins paper :
"But the Virginian IS all Of sudden dis
gusted with individual issues OF shin pIasers,
and yet no paper IN the Commonwealth has
done more 10 gre credit and circulation 10 these
ISSUES than Hat sctsa,ae paper. NcarIyer0y
indiridaal concern phich has get been eSiabii,M-
ed from lHgiaia, has been pg6td by II, and
girea tie highcst credit and rcsP0HsibiiHy.-
And, " hilc these banking establishments were
IN successful operation, moving on smoothly,
not one word of ccnsurc or warning Was ut
tered by the Virginion But now that public
confidence has been somewhat impaired IN
these issues by tho brcakage Of the Bank of
the Union phie Sbank, " hich we pronounced
utterly worthless aud unsound at the time it
was first advertised. the Nirginlan turns to de-
cry down the very institutions which it has as
sisted TO puff into "locul habital;on and name"
Where Is the consistency and justice oil all
this 7"
This statement Of the Republican, and es-
pecially that portion of which we have ltall-
cised, has scarcely shadow Of truth in it
The Virgnan, under its present editor has
not uttered one word ITO give credit and circu-
alon to these issues" nor has it pulled or
endorsed or given countenancc TO a solitary
one of the half dozen or more individual
concerns which have been established from
Virginia" We meet the Republicans alle-

defy it To the proof

sent editor, brief and carefully worded no.
tee of the Merchants and Farmers Bank,
(Messrs Statham x Smithson's) was made. and,
it is believed, that is the only editorial endorse
.ment of any one of these called Banks, TO
he fouad in the files OF the Nirginian. JYehave
been more than once, solicited by parties IN
tereste3, to make some favorable notice Of one
or other of them, but have declined because
we believed such issues 10 be against law, and
against public policy. We have published
sundry advertisements relating TO two of these
Banks, and invoking public confidence in their
behalf These publications were in the ad-
vertising columns and type of the paper, and
had all the marks Of an advertiscment,-and
the Virginian was no more responsible for the
opinions expressed, andsatemenlsm adefn them,
thanlt is for what is said in any patent medicine
advertisement it may publish. One of these
advertiser enls the Republican copied into its
editorial columns, improperly ascribing it to the
Virginian, las statement of its OWN and
giving to it consequence aud weight ten fold
greater than it could have had as an advertise
ment.
The Republican may save itself and us a
good deal Of trouble, and may avoid misead-
ing the public if il will be more particular in
| its statements.
