ESIRABLE I KOPERTY FOR 5 VLE. I ml.-, fbi
sale either my mill tract ol land, in Henrico, or my
farm in Hanover. The former is less than four miles from
Richmond, and contains 150 acres, with a valuable mill.
The land is uncommonly fertile; 100 acres ol it are Chicka
hotuony low grounds, entirely free from inundations. The
balance is improved bigb land, nearly as valuable as the
bottom. A line young orchard just in bearing.
'The fat in in Hanover contains more than 170 acres, and
lies on both sides of the Mechanicsville Turnpike. The
five-mile .stone is not far from the centre of the tract. The
whole ol this laud is rich. There arc not less than 150
acres of low grounds on the Chickahoinony; half of which
is admirably adapted to meadow. But the value of the
whole is greatly enhanced by the immense quantity of wood
and valuable white oak, a«h and maple timber, that may
he advantageously disposed of—a large portion of the tract
never having been cleared. 'The uncleared land is of suf
ficient fertility for tobacco; and it is so convenient to the
turnpike, that the wood and timber may be sent to market
at all seasons, on a road little inferior to a pavement. The
place is healthy and abounds in good water. It is worthy
of the careful examination of anyone wanting to purchase.

Ami now for the Truth:
[From the Albany Argus.1
Mr. VAN HUKKN AND THE M AH.
The United States Telegraph, the befitting organ of
the Second Coalition, attempts to falsity history, and ini
po-e upon the credulity of its ua bus, in a labored article,
on the 2yih of Pel)., from which the following extracts are
made:
“The parti/., ns of Mr. Van II iron, w ho have taken
upon themselves the t.i k ot elaborating public sentiment,
and of relieving the people from the trouble of thinking
for themselves, have emit avore I to break the force of the
objections urged against the ronfirmation ot his appoint-,
ment us minister to England, by suppres.-ing the speeches
ol those senators who vo id against him. and charging a
roali ion between Mr. Fall o in, Mr. Clay', and Mr. Web
ster; and with unblushing impudence, rotund the pro
ceedings ol the senate, on Mr. V. B.’s nomination, with
! the Hartford Convention.”
•• I lie attempt to identity Mr. (.alhnim with tlie Il.irt
I'oril Convention, or even lo a--t.nl Mr. YYchsti r on uceouni
• fir, comes with a bad grace, indeed, from the parli/.ans ol
Mr. Van Hiircn. Mr. V. 15., at that day, was rising into
[tonscqucncc, as a member of (he republican party ol New
York. Governor Clinton was selected by the ami-war
party, (tlie re.il Hartford Convention parly,) as ilmir ratnli
dale in opposition to Mr. Madison, who had been selected
as tho candidate of the republican parly of the nation, and i
whoso re-election lo the Presidency, it was well tinder- !
itood, would he construed as u dccl.tralionpoii the part ol
!hc American people ol their determination to prosecute
with rigor, (lie war, which was the leading measure ol ,
his mtiiiinislr.ition.”
“Where, then, was Mr. V. 15.'s patriotism—where his
devotion to Republicanism ? At no peiiud in the history |
of the government was a sacrifice ol personal ronsidera- I
lions more necessary to the glory ol the country, and the I
experiment of self-government, than during the late w ar. '
We had engaged with a powerful nation, in a bloody con
test for our lights, and the honor, nay, the very existence
of the government, in some measure depended on the una
nimity of the Republican party in its etlorls to carry out
the war it had commenced, to a successful termination.
At such a time, private griefs and personal aggrandize
ment might he expected to yield to the calls of .1 bleeding
country, and the necessities of that party which efleeled
the political revolution ol ’88. \\ here do we find Mr.
Y’att Huren in those days ol gloom and apprehension? Is
lie then to he found breasting the torrent of opposition,
which threatened to hear down not only the President se
lected by the republicans ot ’118, but even to extinguish
the very party which placed Mr. Jeflerson in power? Or
was he found chiming in sweet concord with those fede
ralist* now so liberally denounced ? He was.”
“Vet, Mr. V. H.’s partizans have the unblushing impu
dence In arraign Mr. Webster for pursuing a simil.11 course,
though he had all the pride ol party, all the power ol its
discipline, and all the consistency ol opposition, founded
on political principles, to plead in Ids beh.tll, and lo justify
his conduct.”
Il there is any period in Mr. Van Huron's life, to w hich
more than another, his friends can recur, as evidence ol
liisdevoted paliiotism and trausrendant talents, it is to Ins
course in the senate of this Slate, during the war : and
tiis friends, however much they may despise the base ca
lumnies ot lho Telegraph, have reason to thank the uuthoi
ol them for the occasion which he has allorded of re kind
ling the lire of the second war ot independence ; and 01
showing that Mr. Van Hmcn’s whole soul was engrossed
in tint great contest, tor which Jackson fought and con
quered at New Orleans.
" YY’here,” asks the Telegraph, “do wc find Mr. Y'ar
Huren in those days of gloom and apprehension?” YY'i

been found: And in confirmation of Ibis, wc can rein

That tempest ol passion, and ol lawless Violence, «fiirlr

While thus engaged in an arduous and interesting strug
