1t has been declared by the Opposition papers

The Richmond Wing of Saturday has another
long ieremiad over the downfall Of North Western
Virginia After thorough examination OF the
clements which eoBspired 10 throw the State into
the hands of Letcher, the Wing is convinced that
the hsretica free sellers Of the North West did the
business. "There is evidence conclusive aud over
vheimning Of the existence and progress Of thor
oueh-going snd radical abolition sentiment in
Northwestern Virgins" says the Why. " There
arc no less than five Free Soil journals published ia
Northwestern Virgins" also, ssys the Whg. Too

appeal to and excite the prejEdices of the ultra,

tion of the State, it has been proceeding upon q
very fimsy foundation. We think We can speak
for majority of those entertaining Free Soil ser
timents in Virgins when We say that their senli-
meuts are decidedly sympathetic with the gen
eral opposition of the State-that is with the Wings
and Americans, and not with the Democracy. Most
of these belong to the regular Opposition, used
to when they were at horne, and they have only been
compelled into the unwilling position of an EARNED
neutrality" as it were, by the low stoop which was
taken by the regular Opposition to secure iri
umph, by abandoning what was always understood
to be characteristics of the Wing party, viz White
mems interests rather than negro interest.

"The Memphis Enquirer says that the Nashville

Csss doctrine" the rights of naturalized citizens
This is misrepresentation of our position which is

on the subject"

did commit itself We should like further to know

question Do you repudiate the doctrine Of the Cass
letter No explanations ere needed-s simple yes,
or no, i5 sll that is required. Memphis Enquirer
We repeat, what we have heretofore demorsirat-
ed, that no doctrine is laid down in the letter of
Gen. CAss to Mr.. LECLERc. We have shown that
similar letters, but yielding the point which the
Opposition take issue, which Gen. CAss did not, had
been written by WEBSTER and EVERETT. But while
showing that, we said distinctly, that
"For our own part, we regret that, when a case
came up during Mr.. FILLMoRE's administration, the
principle asserted in Constitution of the unoon-
ditional right of change of allegiance had not been
maintAined and we would have been glad had Gen.
Cas-, when stating The claim Of Foreign Govern
ments, added the determination of this Admins
tration to contest the claim"
Not one word inconsistent with this paragraph
has ever appeared in this paper as editorial.
As farther answer to the Enquirer, we say, that
the late dispatch of Gen. CAss to our Minister TO

The Constitution Of Tennessee declares truly that
"Perpetuities and monopolies contrary to the
genius of afree State and ought not to be allowed"
Therefore, all speculative corporations psrtake Of
this nature, the Legislature is empowered to grant
them only when "expedient for the public good"
Through the neroenary and cOrrupting agencies Of
capital this sacred principle of the Constitution has
been violated, and bank charters, in the nature of
perpetuities aud monOpOles, have been conferred
upon individuals for their private benefit and to the
public harm. For instance, the Central Bank,
which closed its doors without redeemng dollar of
lis circulation that in the pockets of the people
the Bank of Esst Tennessee, which threw out
thousands of fraudulent issues which it has failed
to redeem-the Agricultural Bank, which defrauded
the people of almost equal amount-the Ex-
change Bank, whOee notes selling in the market
at ten cents on he Gollar-the Bank OF America,
which was aided ana abetted in obtaining fictitious
credit by fraudulent practice of the Union Bank
the Citizens Bank which Gel. NETHERLAND, SIS
member of the Legislature, aided in enacting-the
Union Bank, which, in conjunction with the Plant
ers Bank, has set at defiance the laws passed by the
last two Legislatures, and which Col. NETHEaLAED
himself as one Of an investigating committee years
since, reported to have been guilty Of conduct
(which, between individuals, would be stignstised
as fraudulent, and which only be explained in
the present instance by the well-esablished fact,
that corporations in their aggregate capacity. will,
upon their joint responsibility, frequently commit
acts which. as individuals, they would blush to JUS

charters were granted upon terms which have en-

and mOnOpolies, and limits the granting of corpora

The Democratic party, always true 10 the rights
and interests of the people, has had the anliness
to make war this abuse of legislative power, and
declare its intention to seek reform of the present
pernicious system of banking, which will bring them

In our structures on an article signed 81" pub

that ''if we we're rightly informed the author of
that article Mr. JOHN LELIYtTr) "WaS one Of these
who would have denied his brother foreigners any
rights in this country whatever" &C.
In communication in the Patriot of yesterday,
Mr. LE1LY1Tr denies the accuracy Of our informs
ton with referenceto his foreign BIRTH and INDUCES
in certain criticisms with regard to cur conduct in
this matter, which We thought susceptible of con
struction Injurious to u.s. Having stated however,
In reply to a communication from US, that he was
not aware that his language susceptible of such
construction, take pleasure in acquittiug him Of
any intentional discourtesy.
At the time application was made to the editors of
this paper for the name of the gentleman who had
informed us that Mr.. LELLYETT was foreigner by
birth, we had not enjoyed opportunity of confer
ring with tina. gentleman on The subject and there
fore did not feel at liberty to disclose his We
felt perfectly satisfied of the truth of the statement
and have since been authorized by our informant
Mr.. JOSEPH BARNARD-to state that he was inform
ed by Mr.. LELLYErrs father that he (AIr. JOHN
