NEARLY A HUNDRED
YEARS AGO.

YEARS AGO.
From the Woodstock HERALD, Jan
uary 2lst, 1878.
The London Papers say, the
festival of Easter, this year will
be on the 22nd of March, which
circumstance will not occur again
for 400 years.
Prussia has lowered the claims
which she lately warmly pressed
on France, owing to her own en-
barrassments being such as to-
require loan.
New York, Jan. IA.
A letter from a respectable
house dated Guaduloupe, 18th of
Dec. says I'VE have received in
three days 5000 barrels of -four
from the United States; the ar
ticle will experience a deprecia-
ton. If in time please to reduce
the quantity ordered I; and if you
have bought the rye -four and
Indian meal, sell it again, even
at a loss
A party over the sigma
ture Of Cato asks ''since
the General Assembly of Vir-
ginia have oftentimes heretofore
(and that very properly too)
when any subject of national
concern was agitated in Con-
gress, framed reports and adopt
ed resolutions instructing the
Senators and recommending to
the Representatives from this
State" in such Congress either
in favor or oppose its adoption
why the present General Assem-
bly, should view with folded arms
and cold Indifference the open
and undisguised attack upon our
lnimitable federal constitution
which has lately been made in
Congress in the report of the
committee on internal improve
ment PA report which, if adopt
ed by Congress, will, as humb,y
conceive, violate that constitu-
ton, and be dangerous en-
croachment on the sovereignty of
the states, the labored report of
that committee to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Why too does
the present General Assembly
not only viewed with apathy
and GOODNESS, millions of their
neighbors figuring in the holy
cause Of liberty, cause alike
fraught with momentous conse-
quences to the United States and
the civilized world, but also look
with unconcern at the one sided
policy" of the general govern.
ment why, l ask, this silence
and Indifference ? If the General
Assembly in 1911, beheld with
the most serious concern" the at
tempts made to renew the charter
of the old United States Bank,
believing it unconstitutional.
does the present General Assem-
bly, not behold with the like
serious concern the attempts
now making to violate the same
instrument. If too the General
Assembly of 1909 and 10 boldly
delivered their opinions on the
subject of our foreign rela tions
will not the General Assembly
of 1918 as fearlessly deliver their
opinions on our relations with
Spain and the South America
provinces That they should
do so, l am thoroughly convirc-
ed. What, however, they in
their wisdom, will do, l know
not. Why they have not already
done it, is to me the mystery.
