We have III our possession three
counterfeit plates, the first being q fac
smile Of the genuine issue of "The
Bank Of Cape Fear" N. c., and is Of
the denomination Of five dollars, and
the second is of the same denomins-
ton and represents 1.-THE Bank Of
Wheeling" and is dated in 1853. The
third is Of the denomination Of one dol
lar, and processes to be the issue of
"The Northern Bank of Kentucky"
They are copper plates and are all
well executed. The Cape Fear plate
-is particularly fine. These EN- blems of
past iniquitye were found, q few days
ago, by Mr.. John Lewis and Mr.. VIM.
Winall, OF this place, in the woods, on
Sewell Mountain, about half a mile
from the James river and Kanawha
turnpike and near the point where Mr..
Jacob Sturgeon used to live. Before
the war a large number of counterfeit
notes, upon the above named banks,
were in circulation, and no doubt, they
were executed in that locality upon the
same Identical plates now before US.
Various and sundry reports were ahoat
in those days, and suspicion pointed
with a good degree OF certainty
to parties who lived in the i'm
mediate neighborhood where these
plates were found. They were discov-
cred in hollow log and had been
wrapped up in a cloth, but the cloth
had been nearly destroyed by fires
which have ragged in these mountains
since they were deposited in their place
of concealment. The curious can see
these deceitful images by calling at this
ofice.-Greenbrier Independent.

Address of the Committee ON
Resolutions.

| The Administration now in power has
rendered itself guilty of a wanton disregard
of the laws of the land, and of assuming
| powers not granted by the Constitution.
1t has acted as if laws had binding force
only for those who are governed, aud not
| for those who govern. IL has thus struck a
| blow at the fundamental principles of con-
| stitutiOnal government, and the liberties of
citizens. The President of the Tn ted
| States has openly used the powers and on
| portunities of his hi0h offices for the pro
motion of personal ends. lie has kept
! VIGOROUSLY corrupt and unworthy men In
/ places OF power and responsibility 10 the
| detriment of the public interests. He has
used the public service of the Government
| as a machinery OF partisan and personal
influence, and interfered with tyrannical
arrogance In the political affairs of States
and municipality. He has rewarded with
influential and lucrative offices those who
have acquired his favor by valuable presents
thus stimulating the Decentralization of our
political life by his conspicuous example
de has shown himself deplorably UNEQUAL
to the tasks imposed upon him by the
necessities of the country, and cuipably
office.
The partisans of the Administration.
assuming TO be the Republican party and
controlling its organization. have attemp-
ted TO justify such wrongs and palliate such
abuses TO the end of maintaining a partisan
ascendancy
They have stood in the way of necessary
investigation and indispensable reforms
pretending that no serious fault could he
found with the present administration OF
public affairs, thus seeking TO blind the
eyes of the people.
They have kept alive the passions and
resentments OF the late civil war, TO use
them for their own advantages
They hdUe reS0rted 10 arbitrary measures in
direct conflict tcth The organic tato instead OF
appealing 20 the better Instincts and latent ra-
trt0ttsn n the Southern people by restorinG 10
mem those rights. the enjoyment of tohich Is IN
dLspeHsabLe for the successful administration
Of their local affairs. and toOuId tend 10 a Da- /
trtottc and hopeful national feeLing
They have degraded themselves and the /
name of their party, which was once Justly /
entitled TO the confidence of the nation bv \
a base sycophancy TO the dispenser of the 4
executive power and patronage, unworthy /
Of republican freemen.
They have sought TO stiie the voice of
just criticism, to stifie the moral sense or |
the people, and TO subjugate the public
opinion by tyrannical party discipline.
They are striving TO maintain themselves
in authority for selfish ends. by an unscru-
pulous use of power which rightiully be-
ongs 70 the people, and should be EMPLOYED
1nly in the service of-the country.
Believing that an organization thus led
Ind controlled can no longer be of service
% the best interests of the republic we have
resolved TO make an independent appeal TO
he sober Judgment, conscience and patriot
sm OF the American people.
