iiox. WALTER COLES.

The opponents of this gentleman, indifferent partsof the District, are boasting of their ability to defeathim in the coming election ; and speak with an air ofapparent confidence <>fsupplying his place with a goodand true Harrison Wing. This is not strange. Hrnfis a favorite game with the opposition, and has beenplaved by them invariably whenever any slakes were

uy, no matter how desperate their chances of success

Th» opposition, have been beating Capt. Coles for thelast six years just hrfure every election; but no one hasever heard of their beating hirn "fter an election. Unless we are grossly deceived, the coming election willleave them in this District just where they have beenfor the last half dozen years.in a minority.We are, indeed, totally at a lop,-, to conceive what has

inspired the opposition with such fresh hopes of suc¬

cess. Is it because they have enlisted for the cam-

pa-gn, the thrice defeated ex Railroad President ofPittsylvania.3 Surely not. He has been "weighed in

the balance and found wanting."' Is it because theysueceeded in giving the "Old Hero a majority in No¬vember? All the humbuggery, hard cider, cabins andcoon-skms of the celebrated humbug Conventionscould not do that.and surely they cannot expect to

get a larger vote for their congressional candidate thanthey ofctain. d t'or their renowned "military chieftain."We had intended to remain silent on the subject of

our congressional election until the candidates hadtaken the field; but. our opponents have shown a dispo¬sition to take time by the forelock, and have been hurl¬ing their missiles at our candidate upon several occa¬

sions. We intend hereafter to meet them on the groundthey have selected, and shall combat with thein everyinch of it.

By the way, our neighbors of the Virginian have beenholding up the course of Capt. Coles, upon the subjectof the T'»bacco Trade, to the pv pie <i| the District as

the "raw head and bloody bones '

to frighten them intothe support of his opponent F< r tue pri-sent, we willsimply remark, that Capt C. is one of the largest To-baceo growers in this section of the country. He is a<

much interested in whatever allects the planting .nt.e-rest as the editors of the Virgirpun, and we may salelva;nrin, without disparagement to our neighbors, that heis as well qualified, from his habits, experience andMtrong practical sense to decide "upon the mode andniciuure f redrrss" as any man in the District. Wehave no fears that he will do aught to compromit theinterests of the Tobacco planters.

But we are much mistaken if Captain Coles did not

truly represent the planting interest in the course

which he pursued, in the late Tobacco Convention.He opposed the system of retaliatory duties recom¬

mended by that body, and gave It's reasons for thatcourse, which were published in the Republican at;the time. He said truly, that the system bad beentried and had never answered its end.that while the!Tobacco planter was asking relief from the heavyburthens imposed upon his staple by foreign Governments, he was answered by additional taxation at home.That svstem propose*, in order to induce Great Britain to take our Tobacco at a lower rate of duty, toincrease the duties on blankets, hardware and such ar¬

ticles as we buy of that country. Now, we humblyconceive that if the chances for getting the duty en

Tobacco cut down are extremely doubtful.and thattbey are so all will admit.the policy of taxing thosearticles of which the Tobacco grower above all othersbuys the most, is, tosay the least, of doubtful propriety.In the face of the high duty levied on Tobacco bv Eng¬land, we see a proposition before that Government tomake the duty still more. Suppose, then, we increasethe duties 011 such articles as the Tobacco growers are

compelled to bny, and Kngland increase her duty on"the weed," what would be the consequence? Wouldwe not be fleecing the people whom we intended to pro¬tect? More anon..Lynchburg Kcpublicun.McLron.We are informed that McLeod is to be re-

The more we examine tins paper, the more we are

satisfied from the earmarks, the footprints, not to speakof the anecdotes we have heard, that ;t is principally llieGeneral s own thunder. Mr. Webster ma\ have suggest¬ed hints and amendments. He or Mr. Crittenden mayhave thrown in some statements, or some expressions,into various passages.but we suspect, that neither olthem will arrogate the honor of its composition, as thecities of Greece quarrelled for the birth-place of Ho-iner The Whig press stoutly claims the authorshipfor Gen. Harrison alone; and we suspect that neitherMr. Webster, nor any of Irs Secretaries, have anydisposition to contend for the honor of the laurel..Clearly, there are passages in it, which can acknow¬ledge no other author, than the old General him¬self In those happy classical allusions, which aboundthrough the whole work, and sparkle like so manygems in the coronet.these are confessedly a'l hisown. |n such learned lore " no one but hiinsellcan b* his parallel." We have heard an amusinganecdote about thein, which shows the source of histini'st allusions and of his must thriHin<r elcquence. Acopy of the Inaugural is said to have been left at

Washington, when he visited Virginia. One of themost distinguished men of his Clique undertook to

ppruse and revise it After making some few changesin the style, he did net dare to ollend the parental

vanity of the author by taking greater liberties^ h

his offspring Perhaps he might have said with the

Snk-tr when be .i-tled f»|» «l~««t h=- dclora.ay,"God mend v»ii! (re-echoing the words nt the I <>et.)It would be as easy lo make ten new men as to incnil ont|,ke vou

" But sw it was, that on returning the W.fc.,the "General is reported to have asked luin how be

the Ancients.The more too the Inaugural is subjected to the test

of critical analysis, the more import.-ct it appearsThe Democrats (nf course, say the Whigs!) do not like

it.and sorrv are we to say, that they laugh at it. Oneof these gentlemen ol fine taste remarked the other day,that ''when he read il, he blushed for his country.The Whigs themselves do not uppear to relish it alto¬gether.a°nd some of them are free enough to doubt the

purity of its style and the frankness of its statements.Some go further.and "hesitate dislike." Even the

generality of the Whig presses are more fastidious in

their encomiums, than they are wont to be. Some of

them would seem "to damn it with faint praise.Lvni the N Intelligencer itself violated its usual cus

torn of ushering hi the labors of its distinguished friendswith a flourish of trumpets.and subsequently it makesthe best panegyric it can strike out upon Us contents,and the best delence of its obvious imperfections that

its conscience will permit:"Comment (says the ingenuous hditor,) upon a docu¬

ment of such a character, when first presenting it to

our renders, would have bren svjitrfiuous and ill-tnned.Nor shall we now, after it has been tor some days in

every hand, offer more than a feir general obsrrratmnsupon it. The first thought w h.ch, upon perusal of the

\ddress, suggests itself to every mind capable of form¬ing conclusions from internal evidence, must be, thatit is throughout, in entry line of it, characteristic oj its

author." (Pretty true!) "The ardent patriotism, the

ripened judgment, the pure philanthropy, tiie ferventaspiration, The fearless independence, the downrighthonesty, the enure absence of reserve in anythin*! !.these leading features of the Address are

but "the lineaments of its author's mind faithfullyimpressed upon the paper. No man, who has stu-

died the General's character, run for a moment doubtthat it is "his oim writing." It evidently wroughtafter no pattern, but is, on the contrary, so per¬fectly original as to leave no room for the dispute aboutits paternity which has been raised about Addresses on

similar occasions heretofore. Washington's Inauguralmav have been more stately; Jefferson « more philoso¬phic; Madison's more terse; each in unison with thecharacter of the writer's mind. Gen. Harrison's Ad¬dress mi"ht have resembled either of these models more

than it (Toes; but, if it had done so, it would not havebeen his oim." (Yes, indeed, it has scarcely a tinglequality of Washington's, Jefferson's or Madison's.for itIS too much his oim.) "Nor, unless we wholly mistakethe popular taste and feeling, would it have been ha fas

acceptable to the great body of the President's consti-]turnts as in its pre!.ent shape. We do not nf coursr «r-

prct it to pass without caril; but there are few real He-

publicans, call themselves by what names they may,who will not vield to it, as a w hole, their hearty appro-1bation." -'Cavil" they will, hut there are very few, we

should suppose, so devoted to their party, as lo "yield to

it their hearty approbation."The Republican Prints, (we suppose it will be said, in

the blindness of their party fanaticism,) are vary freelyplavmg the Censors of the Inaugural. We shall laytome "samples of their quality" before our readers,'from time to time. Besides the other strictures in this!day's paper, which we have thrown upon our last page,we shall lav the two following criticisms before them.The first is from the Pennsylvanian of Philadelphia; andthe other we have had translated from a French paperin New York, disposed to be whiggish in its course ;

but, on the present occasion, it makes as "decent and

manly an examination" of the first act of the President,as that high dignitary could desire. The whole article,indeed, is very happy! The allusion to the cotton

night cap, and the Presidential pillow, is in full keep-jj) if with the declaration of a President, w ho misquotes

thi? Constitution, and strips himself of the rrsponsi-bilitil of recomiiicnilitig measures which he considers"necessary and expedient." We recommend both thefollowing "articles as in the happiest style. They not

only analyze the contents of the Inaugural correctly,but with that groat good humor which excites a plea¬sant smile, without inflicting a venomous wound :

f From thr Ptvn+tflranion.}"Tub ]at'Grisai. Anunr.ss.. Whatever diversity

ofopiuion may be entertained in regard to the meritsof the Inaugural Address «»t General Harrison, no one

will pretend to deny that in several respects it is enti¬tled to the distinction of being regarded as a very cu¬

rious document, unique in the annals of Presidentialspccch-making. After the information it conveys re¬

lative to a certain Roman Consul, it is intimated thatthough the people of the 1 S. may have acted under a

'delusion,' in calling him (Gen. Harrison) from NorthBend to fill the Executive Chair, yet the said delusioncannot last much longer, both of which positions are toour view of the matter, undeniably correct. Havingthus cleared the platform for himself by this remarka-hie apology for having had 'no principles for the pub-lie eve,' the President proceeds to do the same kind of-fire for his cabinet, by observing that the 'sententious-ness of the Constitution' has a tendency to rendermen's political feet erratic, and that therefore, distin-guished and patriotic statesmen are at one time or otherin their earner, on both sides of the great questions ofthe day. This mud have been marvellously comforta-ble to Messrs. Clay, Webster & Co., as well as a sooth¬ing balm to the General himself. The poet tells us

that,'When weak wonirn en asiray,

TJip stars art? more in fault than tliey:'and we now learn tliat when afaui pas is made by a politician, it is not his fault, but that of the'sententiousness of the Constitution.'"Having reached this point in the journey, the Pre-

sidi-nt makes a demonstration against the veto power,which in general lie regards as objectionable and dan¬

gerous ; but, in the end, lie discovers that it is not so

very mischievous after all, and may be used with salu¬tary effect in at least four specified cases, which fully..overall tli«* reas uis ever urged for a resort to it..This matter therefore is left just as it was before theGeneral took the field. The veto may be used wheni' is deemed necessary. No one ever contended formore.

"The Constitution seems rallier to annoy our new

President, lie deals it many hard hits in the course ofIns extensive wanderings. It is wrong in permittingthe Executive to be re-eligible.it is wrong in givinghim power mer bis Secretaries and heads of Depart¬ments.-but he is not exactly sure whether it is right or

wrong in authorizing the President to communicateinformation to Congress and to recommend measures

The General is a little puzzled here; but concludesthat he is of opinion that the Executive had better besilent about revenue bills, though by a nice distinction,he may propose amendments to existing revenue laws."The Treasury is another puzzler. The President

does not like the pr» sent arrangement, and lie cannot

say that he is opposed to a divorce ol Bank and Statelie leaves the regulation of that matter to others, butwould have the Secretary of the Treasury irremovableexcept by the popular branch of the Legislature. TheConstitution is therefore wrong again; but, to our hum¬ble thinking, the plunderer to be guarded against, israther the legislative power than the executive." While conceding to General Harrison the perfect

right to be as ornate in his style as he thinks the case

requires, and « bile neither objecting to his multitudeof promises nor to those circumlocutions and ambigui¬ties of phrase with which he has seen fit in a numberof instances, to cover up Ins thought, we must say thatthe occasional indirect allusions to his predecessorswhich appear in his address, are altogether indefensi¬ble. There is a paragraph, lor instance, about an 'exc'.usive metallic currency," which was scarcely introducedas a mere politico-economical abstraction. If it meansany thing, it was intended to convoy the idea that thelate administration aimed at an entire metallic curren-

cy; a charge so often refuted and so devoid vffoiinda-jtion, that it should be left to reckless parcgrnphisls andpartisan slangivhangrrs. There is much more reasonto intimate that there are tendencies in another quarter,towards an exclusive paper currency; and with thischange in his text, the fears expressed by the Presidentwould bo prudent and applicable.

"JJnt it is a wearisome task to dig through the mass

of words presented by this Address, to arrive at its sub¬stance, for when it is readied, it is almost impossible to

deduce a distinct meaning. There is a vast amount ofprofession.an immensity of backing and filling.Fe¬deral doctrine in abundance, and the result is that we

should do our best to render the Executive and theConstitution a non-entity, that the legislative powermay have an unrestricted range, to act as it pleasesThe views of the President on the great questions ofpresent interest, the keeping and disbursing ofthe pub¬lic revenue, a National Bank, the distribution ofthepublic lands, the assumption of State debts.the rege¬neration of the currency, and all that, yet remain subrosu. 'The better times," it seems, are not under hislock and key, and the 'change' which was so wonder¬fully to benefit us, is still as dim and misty as ever.The only reference which appears at all to bear in thisdirection is the paragraph about the 'delusion' underwhich the recent election was determined, and the sub¬stance ofthe allusion is that if we look very sharp, 'weshall see what we shall see.'

"After having given the address one perusal, we findourselves inclined on the second onset, to repose amidstthe classic bowers which line its path, like the 'log ca-1bins' of the days of 'hatd cider." We turn from itspolitical obscurities, to sympathise with that RomanConsul, who became so very angry 'two thousand yearsago," because men's promises and performances rarelycorrespond, presuming that the functionary held thenote of a non-specie paying bank, and was calledupon to pay his debts in 'specie or specie funds.'It rejoices us to learn that 'in the Roman Senatp,Oetavius had a party and Anthony a party,' on theprinciple probably of the modern Wistar party,though it is n<>t usual to have such assemblagesin the Senate. 'The statues of the elder Brulus and of

tin- Curtii and Drcii' cast a cooling influence over the

arid wars of historical generalization, Hiid we are de-

lighted to read that 'Gaul, Egypt and the lesser Asia,

fiirnuJied the larger dividend,' it being pleasant even to

hear of such things in times of suspension. The v< ry'wilds of Scythia and Scandinavia,' agreeably relievethe Inaugural, and we shall for the future lay up our

riutarch and our Lempriere, to read the messages of

Gen. Harrison, w hich so well combine the beauties of

the classir/ue with those of the romautiijue school, statelyvet intense.not very clear perhaps, but beyond all

measure learned. Like .Blenheim's battle, it may be

difficult to tell what they are about, but the glory willbe obvious."

I from tuf Ct'Vrrirr tin F.ltit* f 1U.1. ]"We give below the translation of the most interest-

in<r portions of the Inaugural addressed to the people,bv Gen. Ilnrrison recognized and greeted, at mid-daymi the "Itli of March, as the new President of the U.

States. We have not translated the whole of this docu¬

ment, because, in the first place it is extremely long.and, in a word, we speak it frankly,.because it does

not appear to us to be worthy of the trouble ol a transla-

tion."It is so unusual, for any on" in this country, to ex¬

press a conscientious opinion ot public men and politi¬cal affairs, that before going any farther, we must de¬

clare, not only our entire independence of all parlies,but also, our sympathy for Gen. Harrison himself; that

noble old man", whose frank and open characier inter¬

ests us, and whom we believe, to be actuated by the

best intentions in the world. Although we ought not

to judge of his future course by his first .steps, still we

must confess, that never has a Presidential address ap¬

peared to us so feeble, so grotesque, and containing so

J'i ir things in so many icorils."Four great questions of general interest have, for a

lorn' time, agitated this country, and caused divisionainoti" the people. Ofthese questions the W hig parly hasmade so much capital, that imposing upon the minds

of the people, it has succeeded in securing the majorityto its candidate. The questions brought forward by the

Whig party, of which Gen. Harrison promises the sa

lisfactory solution, have reference.1st. To the restoration of the money circulation, and

to the depositing of the public treasure in other insti-1lu'ions, than Sub-Treasuries.

2d. To the creation of a National Bank, and to thedemonstration of its constitutionality.

3d. To the restitution of the National hands, to

the different States which had been given up, by them,to the Federal Government, and

.fth. To the transfer of the debt of the differentStates to the General Government, for certain compen¬sations."Well, (Eh Him.') in the speech which was dextined

to expose the principle of his politics and to exhibit hisfuture course, we ask, has the new President satisfac¬

torily adjusted these questions, so important to the in-terests of his country? No, not a single one of them.lie has not even made allusion to the last three, and as

to the first, he has only devoted some few lines, inwhich only is expressed every thing that is calculatedto disparage-the system of Ins predecessors and of his

political adversaries."We are not the parti/.ans of the opinion put forth

by General Jackson, and adopted in part by Mr. VanBuren, tint the monetary circulation of the United!States ought to he exclusively metallic. We regardthis opinion as just as fatal, as that of the system ofthe Banks ins proved to be. It is true, that tins coun-'try has been ruined by the credit system : but it is be-cause that system has been misunderstood and carriedto excess. But it is also true, that by credit such

rapid strides have been made in the career of civili¬zation. Without this powerful agency, the present age,would have been much less rich and powerful than it

is. We believe that numerous and just objections maybe alleged against those who advocate a purely metalliccirculation, (and let us say, en passant, that, at present,but few countenance it.) But to combat this system, as

Uen. Harrison has done, by saying that it produces the

inequalities of fortune; that it facilitates the operation!of usury; that it destroys sentiments of high-minded-'ness and generosity in the people: in all this, we cannotbut detect an ingenuity without example. What thenfacilitates more the spirit of speculation and stock-job-bing, than the distribution of paper, which, to all op-pearance, triples the fortunes of individmls: How longhas it been since men would risk a real vilue, in search ofthe fictitious? Whence do the Americans derive this

rage of adventurous speculation, if not, from the con-

slont circulation of paper instead of palpable gold?What has given rise to the great commercial crises, ifnot the disproportion of paper to hard money? Andhow has usury originated, if" not from the devastationsproduced by these crises?"With the exception of these few unfortunate phra¬

ses in reference to this subject, so important, so vital to

this country, the new President preserves a profound si¬

lence on all his most serious designs. He does not sayone word in relation to the frontier question: now in liti¬

gation between Hngland and the State of.Maine he doesnot make allusion to the McLeod affair. It is true, thathe excuses himself indirectly, by saying that he hasnot as yet had an opportunity ofbecoming well acquaint¬ed himself with the pending negociations; but there are

in conjunction with these questions of interest, princi¬ples permanent and inviolable, with which, for the sakeof his own dignity, he ought to have been more fami-liar. In presence of the dangers winch now have for a

month past threatened the United States, and whichhave engaged the attention of all serious men, and ofCongress itself, respecting the measures which the uu-

protected condition of the country demands, the new

('resident docs not mention the necessary defencewhich ought to be made.and lir flatters himself withthe hope of peace, relying on tfie disposition of sove-

reigns; that is to say, of the Queen of England! In truththis language savors too much of good nature, whichis a quality often fatal in politics.

'.The portion ofGen. 1 larrison's address which is real¬

ly pood, if we j ml {re of it in regard to tlie private disin-1lerestedness it displays, is thnt in which he has been so

lavish of the prerogatives under his charge, lie de*clares, tlint the Presidency, such as iiis predecessorshave made it, has arrest tendency to monarchy, in ha¬

bituating ilself too long to the dangerous delights of Ipower, in appointing or removing all the officers of theGovernment w>tli autocratic authority.finally, unitingin its own hands the purse and the sword.that is to say,)in having under its control both the army and treasury. JIn consequence of this, Gen. U declares: 1st. Thathe will not consent to a re-election at the end of the:errn of four years. 'Jd. That he will give up almost

entirely the privilege of the veto allowed him by theConstitution, but which think*, savors t< o much of thedictator. Ild. That he wili never displace a Sfecrttary of

the Treasury without consulting the two Houses ofCon¬gress. -Itfi. That he will not onlv tolerate, but wdl encou¬

rage the independent censure of the press upon Ins acis

"ith. That he will submit it to Congress to decide uponthe best manner of preserving and employing the re¬

venue of the States : and that the farther they be re¬

moved from tins control, the more conformable willthis arrangement he to Republican principles.

"It is impossible for any man to part more cheerfullyfavec plus degaietede rnur, more gaiety of heart,) withthe privileges of power. One would excla in in wit-jnestling tins renunciation, that the good old General in

assuming the functions of lus competitor, .Mr Van IJu-ren, has no ambition beyond his cotton cap and his

presidential pillow. This is a disinterestedness trulyRoman.

'.Tins reminds us, that CJen. Harrison speaks in hisharangue, five or Fix times of Rome, twice of Athens,once ol Gaul, of Kirypt, of Asia, of Scythia, of Scan-1dinavia, of the Capitol, twice of the Roman Emperors,three times of the Consuls, once of Octavius, of An-,tbony, of Hrutus, of Curtius, of Decius, of Ciimillus,of the Scipios, three times of Ca'sar, and twice of a

Roman Knight, that he does riot mention.

"Speaking of the Romans, it reminds us of one of;their sayings, "lltslirmu.i fnrrtvm Consulan.".(ll'churt n fnerlinus Cousui.).The Americans can now

say, "we have a President who knows liis Geographyand his History," at least his Ancient History, for lie1

The President, before lie visited Virginia, mutteredterrible threats against the Abolitionists, lie made it,a point, to declare boldly to the Southern people, th"tierce denunciations which he should infuse into hisI naugural, against the whole crew. He made ho pub¬lic a boast of it, that even (Jen. Waddy Thompsonvouched for it on the floor of the House. It is said

hy several, and reported in the last Columbus States-

man, that lie promised to ligirc the .ibolilionists h-ll."It was a matter of common notoriety here, that his

pledges were of the most decided cast. He was to

denounce the A! olitionists in his Inaugural.he was

to excommunicate them entirely. The WashingtonCorrespondent of the Charleston Courier took up the

tale, and declared, that Gen. Harrison would remove!nil doubt about his position.and would give quiet to

the entire South, by the boldness and frankness of hisdeclarations.. Such were the promises.and now forthe perfnrn:cnecs.The Inaugural does not say one word en nomine upon

the whole subject. " He does not say Turkey once,"as the Indian remarked. The words Abolition, Slave-rv, Ac., Ac . are not even to be found in the piper..He deals in all the flummery of general declarationsHe talks about " domestic institutions" in the general,without mentioning the domestic institutions to whichhe refers. Why ail tins delicacy? all this generali/a-tion? Is he afraid to speak boldly against the Aboli-!tionists? Why has he shirked the question? and whydid lie not imitate the boldness of Martin Van Buren,who did not hesitate to declare in his Inaugural, thathe wouid veto any bill that disturbed the subject of

Slavery?Hut supposing that General Harrison does mean by

"domestic institutions" to referto the subject of Slave¬

ry in the Southern States, does he go the whole for us:

Does he deny the right of petition against that Institu¬tion in Congress? Does lie ever allude to the same

"domestic Institution" in the District of Columbia;the first, assailable point, in the Southern fortress?Not at all. Does he not even expressly concede as

much to the Abolitionist--, asthcy might pervert into themost deadly means of annoyance to our Southern In¬stitutions? Will they not abuse the following reserva¬

tion in the most otTaiijive manner:."The citizens of

Democratic Proceedings in kin£ htarge County.A meeting was convened at King George Court

House, at February Court, and organized by railingDaniel Coakley to the Chair, and appointing John Mc-Daniel, Secretary.The object having been explained.on motion, by

James M. Smith, Esq., it was agreed that John H'*oe,Esq., should be the candidate to represent the county inthe next Legislature of Virginia, when the meeting ad¬

journed.This nomination was conferred on Mr. Ilone without

His knowledge or consent, and under circumstanceswhich greatly surprised him. It was a source ut re¬

gret to him in consequence of the inconvenience to

which ii would subject him,and the injury his domes¬tic matters would necessarily sustain ; and further, be¬cause he had never sought, desired, or expected itWhilst however, he could not, and would not declinean honor tendered bun, by any portion of his 'eUow-citizens, he vet hoped another meeting would be held,and he relieved from the responsibilities of the presentcanvass,at least.

° DANH'.L COAKLEY, Chairman.John McDa.MKI., Secretary.At a meeting of the Republicans of King George

called to the Chair and Overton Clarke appointed Se¬cretary. The object of the meeting was briefly e.x-

plained, and the following letter from Mr. Hooe was

read:Rikw. Vii.i.a, March 4th, Je4l.

To the Chairman of the Democratic Convention.Sir:.A press of domestic obligations prevents ir.e

from being at Court to-day. I must, therefore, ask

leave to say to you, and, through you, to our Demo-cratic brethren, "that the nomination conferred e n me

at our last Court was as nndesired as it was unexpect-:ed I had disclaimed, upon many occasions, any de-1sire to be so honored; always adding', however, that,should the member* of our political church deem u theirduty, m consideration ot the more favorable prospectof my conducting the canvass to the result they de¬

sired, to place it upon me, 1 should not feel at libertyto decline it. It was in accordance with this declara¬tion and feeling, that I then acted.The call of another meeting to-day, for the purpose

of reconsidering the nomination, I can but regard as

an act to relieve me from the inconvenience and em

barrassment of the previous one. I'ndcr the possi¬bility, however, that this may not be the spirit in

which the present meeting was called, and Unit myclaims may be again urged, 1 avail myself of the op.portunity to say, it is so averse to my feelings and in-terest to be a candidate, at the present time, that I mustask, that my name may not, on this occasion, be placedin nomination. I make this request, with the more

earnestness, doubting not, but that lhe individual, to

whom you will entiust the responsible undertaking,will be better able than I should be to meet that re¬

sponsibility, and to prosecute the canvass to the happyresult which every Democratic Republican has at

heart.To you, Sir, and those of our friends who will meet

in Convention to-day, it is scarcely necessary f-jr me,in conclusion, to add, that, whoever may be the nomi¬nee, inv* hearty co-operation with the Democracy, in

his behalf, may be relied on.

With sincere wishes for the harmony of the Con-vention, 1 am, very respectfully,

Your obedient, humble servant,JNO. HOOK.

Whereupon, it trns unanimously rcsalrid as the sense

of this meeting, That inasmuch as .Mr. ilooe has re¬

quested his name not to be used on this occasion, Jas.M. Smith, Esq., be nominated as a candidate on behalfof the Democracy, to represent the county in thu nextHouse of Delegates of Virginia.

Hesolred, That we will use all honest and honorablemeans to promote the election ot the nominee ol thismeeting, and hereby call upon our brethren in everypart of the county to co-operate with us in giving suc¬

cess to our causp. 1

To O. Ci.akki:, Ksq , Secretary,Sir: I have received a letter from you as Secretary

to a meeting ofmy fellow-citizens, informing me of myselection as an individual to be run as the Democraticcandidate in the approaching April election, for a s-eat

in the House of Delegates. I duly appreciate the honorconferred upon me by that meeting, and hereby informyou of my willingness to accept the nomination.You sav I was nominated "in the place »f Mr. Hooe,

who requested his name not to be put in nomination.'Mad you believed, gentlemen, that Mr. Ilooe desiredthe nomination, I doubt not it would have been con¬

ferred on him in consideration of Ins superior claim to

your respect and confidence for Ins age and services;but informed as you were of his wish not to be put in

nomination, I feel sufficiently honored to succeed himin the labors which necessarily attach to this accept¬ance. With assurances of my highest regard,

1 am your friend and fellow-citizen,J. M. SMITH.

To the People of King George County.My Fellow-citizens.Though once defeated, I am

again induced by the kindness of a large portion of mypolitical and personal friends, expressed privately andin public meeting, to otTer myself as a candidate at the

ensuing Spring Klection, to represent you in the lowerhouse of the Legislature of Virginia. My respectedcompetitor Col. Tayloe, was the then incumbent, a

gentleman who had won his claims to your support bya life of unblemished integrity and the highest moralworth. I made then, and make now, no complaintagainst the verdict winch you rendered. My rule is to

bow witli submissive deference to the will of a majori¬ty. He was the friend of Win. Henry Harrison.I, ofMartin Van Buren. We, I agree, were equally honestin the support we gave those gentlemen. The peopleof the I*. States have pronounced their verdict, and theformer has been elevated to the Presidency of this Re¬public. However much I may have opposed the prin¬ciples I believe he entertained and condemned themeans which were resorted to in his election; it is

far from me to say, that the people have not the

capacity for self-government. 'Tin sufficient thatthe verdict has been rendered, and that I should declnre in nnnouncing myself a Candidate noic, that 1will judge General Harrison fairly and impartially.I will not wage against his administration, as did manyof our opponents against that ot Mr. Van Buren, a war

of indiscriminate hate. Jt is no part of my nature toacton factious principles. I mi'st i>o kigiit, ir i know

it. If, therefore, the measures of his administrationsfin 11 be such as we have been led to anticipate theywould be.if Gen. Harri#on shall conduct his adminis¬tration on the tree principles of Jetiersoman Democray,33 h" has virtually promised he would do, 1 shall findno difficulty in giving hi in my support as an individualor a member of the Legislature, if that body should becalled upon to supervise in any manner his acts, as your

Chief Magistrate. In short, 1 will support him when

right, and oppose him when icrong 1 will "nothing ex¬

tenuate, or set down aughi in malice." In the presentstate of the question, 1 do not feel that it is necessarv or

proper, for me to say, whether I am a Benton man, a Cal-iioun man, a Van Buren man, a Clay man, a Harrisonman, or any other man's man. It will be tune enough forme to answer such an enquiry when the course of Gen.H.'s Administration shall have been made known, and

opposition determined on in the person of some one or

other of the Statesmen of our country. Whenever such

contingencies arrive, I shall not be backward in prn-tnulging my views. If, however, 1 should then unfor¬tunately differ with a majority of my countymen, their

remedy is a plain and easy one.tcp.n me oct. With

this avowal 1 am at a loss to perceive any justificati <n

for a violent party opposition to my election. Our

good Whig friends declared before the election, that

'.all they desired was a change of Rulers" to rest..r.peace, happiness, and prosperity to an oppressed andsuffering people; and .Mr. Cr.ttenden said that the barfact of General Harrison's election would add liJO «,,]lions towards relieving the country from its pecuniaryembarrassments. The desired "change" has been "rant,ed, but the happy results predicted have not vel'becurealized. I trust they may be and that speedily.

Gen. Harrison is now the President of the 1 Stato^with a majority of 10 or li in the S. nnte, and :i*> or ;;i|in the House ol Representatives.lie h;i it perfectly inhis power to propose and carry through any nie,i»tJri.jhe may think proper to benefit the people "i'is (li.

due to him for it.His fr.ends have said he was in favor of tiie Com-

promise Aet, and would favor n# Tariff, further thanto defray h ueereascd expenditure of the public money

by the Federal Government. Jf he comes up to tbiVstandard, he will deserve praise.

His friends have represented him ns opposed to In-tenia I Improvement, as the States themselves had ta¬
