Lynchburg Virginian

We cheerfully comply with the request of Mr. Moncure Robinson, to copy the following Card from the Richmond Whig:

A CARD.

Mr. Moncure Robinson observed about a week since, from a number of the Whig which fell under his eye in Philadelphia, that an attack had been made on him by a writer in the Lynchburg Virginian, over the signature of "Lynchburg," but had not an opportunity until his arrival in the State, on Saturday evening, of seeing the numbers of the Virginian, in which the essays of "Lynchburg" are contained.

Rumor has ascribed one or more of these papers, to two persons who have been honored with the confidence of their fellow citizens in an important public trust. Mr. Robinson will not take it for granted, on mere rumor, that those persons have been guilty of the despicable attack which has been made on him, in the print above referred to. Much less would he be capable of imitating the example of the writer of "Lynchburg," by founding a charge on his suspicions, however strong and well founded they appear to him to be. He will, therefore, simply observe, that he has no time to spare from his engagements, to notice in detail the allegations and insinuations which have been made in regard to him. His history, and the course he has taken in relation to the improvements of his native State, are known to his fellow citizens, and he is willing to leave it to them to decide, on what they already know of him, if he is capable of aiming "dagger blow at the dearest interests of the State." and whether the epithets of "disappointed, reckless and vindictive," are applicable to any, expressing a favorable opinion of a measure, which he believes, in common with many of them, important both to Virginia and Richmond: or to the malicious and defamatory libellers who have made him (because an obstacle in the way of their views,) a subject on which to vent their "ire and spleen."

Richmond, August 8, 1836.
