The Enquirer complains bitterly of the
dearth os talents in the Virginia legislatm-e,
and mentions one of their scnators who tho't
the iegislature of that state laid the embargo.
Theie is no wonder that the members osthcir
'Iegislatmc are ignorant ; they read .f'zc Ln .. ;
quz'rcr. Men of the first talents, respectahi- :
lity, knowledge and virtue, ale sedemiists ,
and having these qualities, so inconsistent with
democtacy, they are systematicall y excludedct
Men m general of the democxatic class, who!
regard their reputation, feel ashamed to be
brought forward with Tom, Dick and Harry,
the ninnyhammers who compose the major
ity of both houses: some few however, of
talents and roguery, having no other road
by which tO rise tO eminence, prefer the .dis- _
grace of being a Member of that legisiature, .3
to the mortification of total neglect and ob-si
his sight, and minglcs with oblivious ob- ?
scurity. One man could dictatc rcams of
such stuﬀ as this writer, who calls himself
" Valerius," has given us in the Enquircr,
faster than ten pens could lasten it to paper.
Let us try it—Erc again, Vzdcrius, thou
shalt press the pondcrous hand of thy in
dignation on an already deprcssed and dis—
cardcd minister; ere again thy digits ap
proach the feathery cmanation of a gonsc's
side, to draw it from its peaccsul slumber
in the darksomc inkstand; [nose and re
ﬂcct on the mighty havoc which thy dcvas
tating satire, and the murdcrous edge: of
thy awakencd indignation must produce.
Let it suffice thee that the dagger pen of an
American secrctnry of State has cleft in
twain the heart of the British missionnry' ;
that the resolutions of an Amcrican Scmtc
and Hotxsc oslteprcsentativcs have uumask
ed the " political monster"; that a sudden
ly convoked assembly of spirited rcpuhii—
cans at Albauy hsiavc exposed in csstgy the
dclvtcriuus cmissary of Albion; and that
thou th) sclf husc ground him to powdsi-r by
the Athmtean pressure at thy logic; hast
scorchcd him to cindtrs by the sun siisszksi: in- )
tssEnsent-ss of thy eii'uigent eloquence, and
hast blown him almost without the.; consincs
of entity by the breath of thy tempestuous
indignation. Spare then, Osizi ! spare. For
the sake of the wife of his bosom, and his
oﬀspaing who look to him for comsort and
suppott, spare, Oh ! spare ! for shouidt thou
again breathe thy vengeanCc, it will come
upon him like the whirlwind os final deso
