lught else those same rowdies owed the safety


aught else those same rowdies owed the safety
of their own lives; for Mr.. j. is said to have
been most active to induce the Governor to
withdraw his late proclamation, virtually
placing Baltimore, during the election, where
it should eat all times until its population
learn to respect the principles of the American
liberty over which they shout so strenuously
when desiring to use them for a cover for the
preparation of lawless outrages under martisi
law

elaborate and really able communication seri-
ously and earnestly urging high protective

out-of-jOint condition of financial affairs. Ii
is about on par with the national bank remedy
of our respected friends of the National Intel
| HgeRcer-only . a little more 500
The fact of its appearance in a rigid Demo
cratic journal like the Press, is a subject for
grave reflection on the part of the portion of the
Democracy who have come to think with us that
protection by levying duties on imports to
that end, is incompatible with the doctrines of
the Democratic party.
LUSA NATURE The Alexandria Gasette
tells Us that the Bank of Virginia, at Freder-
icksburg and the Farmers Bank of Virginia.

quartered for their perverse e,centricity in such
times as the present
