On motion before the last DISTRICT Corr,
OF this place, for leave to file an informa-
tion IN nature of a Quo Warranto rs T.
zard Is. WhRfiock, to enquire by what title
he held the Office CT Clerk of Hanrico
county Court. In the election of this Of
fcer, the court was divided, and the she
riit OF the county gave the CASTING vote /,
favor of Mr.. Wh,tlock.
The case now to be determined, is one in
behalf of the Commonwealth Us. WhitIoct.
on a rule that he s'iew Cause why an infor.
nation, in the nature of Quo UIarrnuto
shouid not be FED against him for exei cis-
ing me once OF Clerk of Eenrico County ?
but before l enter into the various points
MADE IN the question:, think it proper To
declare, that from the evidence produced
IN court, no conduct could have been moro
correct and honorable, than VIZ. the ,oa,,isS
trates, IN the exercise OF the i,nnortant 3n.
~ assigned to them by the consti,u,ion.--
Nothing udair, as 1t related to the cand,.
dates for ibe Office, and nothing corri,,t and
impure, as IT related TO themselves.
La ordinary compfehensions, under this
declaration, 1t would seem thar the question
was at once answered, why Whitlock hold,
the Office ''''N'
But three points are made in objection r.
the appointment, and argued by Mr.. HoS
with his usual ingenuity and strength of Oh
lservation-- " w
1st. The Constitution directs. Tho. a..
county courts shall appoint their own rlert : :.
ana u is ccntended that the sheriff NOT he ;
| ing OF the court, had no right to vote in the
Case, although directed by Jaw, when an '' -
quail division should take place between ,,vo
candidate because that law is nncons';
tutional and void. '"'''-
"a. hat the election should have h.ec
made IN open court, and not in the iurv
room. '"0 jury
81. That magistrate who ,y,s ~ o..
courthouse, although not constitutine The
sitting body, ought to have been called in
and Tor that defect, the election was vo;d a.
rs 20 the hrst point, that the law ernr,o,v.
er'n,g the sheriff to vote, was uncons,ito,;.

General Smith. Friends. fellow-ci-
tizens---I might say acquaintances---
for | know you all, and have known
you long. Perhaps you are surprised
that l came not sooner to participate
and take an efficient part in the cause
OF repubiicanism, to which such an ex-
traordinary opposition is set upset
up by the same party, which eight
years ago you Frustrated in the dust.
Fathers, who know what parental fee
ling Is, will excuse me, when they
learn that I have been ten weeks ira
yelling with beloved daughter, whose
health was impaired and, thanks to
God, | have succeeded in restoring
her to the blessings of health and the
bosom of my family.
Observe, fellow citizens, from
whence and from whom this outcry,
this stubborn opposition comes. 1t
sets In from the federal party! they
held the reins of government twelve
years and did they disburden YOU of
your national debt? No; they went
out of power, and left us saddled with
1t all. Not only so but they violated
the Constitution of the United States
by the passage of an alien law, by
which the unhappy foreigner, who had
taken refuge in America from the
hardships and expressions of Europe,
was subjected to capriclous expor-
tat1on, at any minute at the will of the
chief magistrate. Then followed
sedition-law to gag the mouth of dis
content and suppress discussion and
popular murmurs. But all this did
not suffice taxes were laid on domes-
tic industry to support the expenses of
an extravagant government---and mo.
MES were loaned at eight per ceot.
We were approximating to monarchy /:
but the people were alarmed, -..thev
rose in their might and dismi sed tn.
federal administrators from Office.
You elected republicans to fill your
councils and administer your affairs.
And have they not done more than
the most sanguine among us could
have expected From two articles Of
taxation, ION each of which was impo-
sed S5oo,ooO) one million of dollars
was Withdrawn. The whole of the
internal taxes was repealed. Not a
single tax is levied from you---and.
yet what have we done 1--WE have
IN seven years, paid off thirty.two mill
lions of the public debt---without OBJ
pressing any man or draining the
streams of revenue dry. And how
have we done it?---By carrying into
the public administration, the same G.
economy which every prudent man ex-
ercises in his private dealings, and in
his own family.

fore the Hon. Circuit court in Hartford
(Con.) the indictment against Joseph Porter,
constable of Farmington, for stopping the
mail while carrying through that town on

OF the United States was rejected by the
court, and it became necessary again for
the Attorney to offer TO enter nolle. This
was resisted by the counsel for the prison.
err, viz. Messrs. Goodrich, Dagget, and
Dwight, who insisted upon verdict. A
verdict was accordingly returned by the iu-
