EuLLS AEp BEARs.-In tho early par. of the
eighteenth century i. was tbs practice of stock
lobbers 10 enter into contract for transferring
South Sea Stock at a future timo for certain
prices; but no who contracted 10 sell had ir,-
quonIiy no stock 10 transfer; nor did the buyer
intend To receive any in Consequence of his bar
gain, Tho seller was therefore called bear,
snd the buyer bull. The contract was merely
4 wager. determined by the rise or fall of the
STOCK; If roso. tho seller paid the difference
10 the buyer, ii it Tell the difference be.
.woen the ruling prico and that stipulated in the
bargain was TO be paid by the buyer 10 tho sell.
nr. IT WAS TO the interest tho bear or seller
to decry The va ue OF the siock, ard of the tull
Or buyer TO cnchsnce it.
VIRGINIA TIE Pivotal STATE.-The cleo.
.orsl vote of Virginia is sure TO DO cast for Ham
,tck If the democrats will vote together, and thu
vote q Virginia, as things now stand, insures
no election OF q democratic President and Vice
tresidoai: WlLhou. the vote Of Virginia it will
30 exceedingly difficult to win Virginia, in
his sensc, is the pivotal State. There will be
ct enough hereafter 10 settle local quarreis.-
The end 10 which every other Consideration
must now be made subordinate is democratic
odsrIt7. and its sequence. victory in Noyem.
