upon to name a document which best expounds the true principles of finance and statesmanship on this difficult subject, and in a perfectly unanswerable manner, free from ill-temper or bias, and full of wise prescience and overwhelming argument, I should name the report made by Robt. M. T. Hunter in March, 1852, to the United States Senate, which accompanied the bill proposed by him to regulate the coinage of gold and silver. It is not mere eulogy to say that, Since the passing away of Jefferson, Madison, Marshall and Monroe, hardly any Virginian has borne so influential a part in political affairs as R. M. T. Hunter. In great qualities of mind and character, he was the peer of any, without the eccentricities of genius which marred so many of the worthies of that day. But time would fail me to depict in detail his varied labors in the achievement of his fame. When that fame was at its zenith, and in the very height of useful promise, at the age of 52 years, he bade farewel

ives me the clue to the reason. From the time of the resolutions of 1798-‘99, the States' Rights party had been firm in their opposition to a common arbiter. Mr. Jefferson, in his resolution, and Mr. Madison, in his report, had laid down the law, that in case of an infringement of States' rights by the common agent—the Federal Government—each State must be the judge of the wrong done her and of the mode and measure of redress. The Kentucky resolutions of 1798 were drawn by Mr. Jefferson. They declared that the several States, composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government, butrties having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infraction as of the mode and measure of redress. On this platform Mr. Jefferson was elected President in 1800, overthrowing John Adams and the Federal party. It was the corner-stone of the Democratic faith, and the government was administ<

d conclaves that ever met anywhere. Prof. George Tucker says, in his Life of Jefferson, that President James Monroe was one of them. If he be mistaken in this, it is certain that two ex-Presidents of the United States, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, were in it, with nineteen worthy associates, several of whom were fully thquals of President Monroe. Judge William Brockenbrough was one of these. Mr. Jefferson was made President of the Board, who appointed a sub-committee of six to con similar cases? The Board also adopted an elaborate report, drawn up by Mr. Jefferson, which was, with some amendments, signed by all the twenty-one members present and transmitted to the legislature. Mr. Jefferson's signature was the first; Judge Brockenbrough's was the fourth. Thus our now famous University may be regardr of it. The Commissioners who signed the report to the legislature were: Th: Jefferson, Creed Taylor, Peter Randolph, Wm. Brockenbrough, Arch'd Rutherford, Arch'd S
