Wo copy the ioiiowlng little editorial from lat

s. We frequently hear democrats orators speak o
the Odlous Bankrupt Law" Whig measure
1t is well enough under such circumstances, to le
| the people know that VIM. r. King, the democrati,
candidate for the Vice Presidency in 1912, voted 70
that identical measnre-'' odous as it is. He alst
voted for the IS United States Bank Charter by
which that party consider the strongest proof Of fed
eralism sustained,
Is the statement here pointedly and deliberately
made' that William R. King voted fur that ;ndenti
ca: "ea.urs- odio' as 1t IT, true in point Of fac.

PIERCE. Prentis, Rives, Sewer, Smith of Conn.,.

We call upon the Vlrginian, and the Whig papers
that copied the statement, to show YES right
correct their mstatement Of public record, con-
tess to an attempt to njure public servant in the
face OF facts too notorious to be perverted.
But two democrats voted for the odious'' bank.
ruPt law OF l84l-Walker and Young-and the FORM
er did so under instructions from the Whip Lepisa-
ture OF his State. The measure, then, was Whig
measure, and the Wings will have to bear its odum
tortured and chafed they already are under the chas
tisements OF public indignation, on account of other
sins.
The vote on Mr.. Clay's Bank bill, passed three
days after the passage of the Bankrupt Law, stands
on the record, thus:
YEAs-Messrs. Barrow, Bates, Berrien, Choate.

Lastly. to complete the picture, here is quotation
trom General Scotts great circular letter of October
| 25th, 1S4l:
"LEADINe MEASURES OF THE LATE EXTRA SEs'
SION OF CoNGREss. If had the honor of vote on
that occasion, it would been given in favor of the
| LAND DISTRIBUTION BILL. the BANKRUPT Bill, and
| the second BILL CREATING A FISCAL CoRPoRATIoN.'
| The conclusive record, given above, presents the
clearest, painest and strongest why the peo
ple~of Virginia. and all good Republicans everywhere
who have any regard for the maintenance of the Con
stituton, the welfare OF the confederacy, and the
Scott and Graham, and cordially rally to the sup
port of Pierce and King. We thank the Scott orga,
for giving opportunity Of demonstrating the Fl
naiity of glorious candidates to the cherished po
tical creed of Virginia, and, the other hand. tn
receive any support at the hands of Virginia an,
other portion OF the confederacy.
