uuearthed in one OF the fields an ancient
silver coin bearing the colonial stamp

District comprising Southwest Vir.

exclusively white and where no temp

deciSion-he will not have gained IL
reputation rs al honest politician,

ceive that the esteem in which many
of his fellow citizens hold him, in
such event, may he seriously impair

success, in our opinion, is upon the
innate meanness of that species Of
partisnnry that scruples at nothing
in the promotion of its own adyan-
