Mr.. Early, of Albemarle, supposed he
was one OF that class referred to by the
Fredericksburg papers, in which they were
charged with ignorance. Tie was tillel
of the soil, and wasproGd of it. He was OPP
posed to the Funding Bill, because it made
difference between its creditors; because
it promised to increase the taxes, to which
he was opposed. 1t was idle for gentle
men to come here and pirate about the honor
of Virginia, when many of them were SC
regardless of their own personal pledges
and who failed to protect their own honor
by refusing to pay their private debts.
