But instead OF receiving these vlrginlan old
fogies with the stern attitude Of chief magis-

addresses them with all The aHability and

superiority oftheir ancient blood over the poor
whites Of The South, and the mudsiils of the
North. Aft. Pierce and Mr.. Buchanan were

ycars, will not likewise be doomed 10 have
the finger Of sco1n Of yonng and old pointed
