Product Information

Court day! what an important day in Virginia1 what a day of bustle and business! what a requisition is made upon every mode of conveyance to the little metropolis of the County! How many debts are then to be paid! how many to be put off! A las! how preponderate the latter! If a man says, I will pay you at Court, I give up the debt as hopeless, without the intervention of the la. But ifC ourt day be thus important, how much more so isM arch Court! That is the day when our candidates are expected home from Richmond, to give an account of their stewardship; at least it used to be so, before the number of our legislators was lessened, with a view of facilitating the transaction of business, and with a promise of shortening the sessions. But, somehow or other, the public chest has such a multitude of charms, it seems now to be more impossible than ever to get away from it. Tis that capitol rising in grandeur on high, Where bank notes, by thousands, bewitchingly lie} as the song sa ys, which makes our sessions of so long a life; and there is no practicable mode of preventing the evisceration of the aforesaid chest, but deferring the meeting of the Assembly to the month ofF ebruary, and thereby compelling the performance of the commonwealths business within the two months which would intervene till the planting of corn. However, this is foreign to my present purpose, which is to describe a scene at which I have often gazed with infinite amuse fT nent. Would I had the power of Hogarth, that I might Eerpetuate the actings and doings of aM arch Co s. ut having no turn that way, 1musxX mvk sx group the materials, and leave vfc tiX y% vq regular artist to perfect.
