FOR THE ENQUIRER.
To THE EXECUTIVE OF VIRGINIA.

The constitution of this Commonwealth
has wisely foreseen, that crises might a.
rise, in which it would be necessary to the
public welfare, that the General Assem-
bly, should be convened before the time TO
which they stand adjourned: ard it has
provided, that this NAV be done by Vou, or
on application Of majority of the House
Of Delegates It is obvious, that the
sense Of numerous and dishcrSed set Of
individuals, cannot always be promptly
obtained, even under circumstances of the
greatest emergency. It is also certain, that
for one month at least, (that of the neral
election,) there is no legislature IN existence
TO make the app ication during which time,
the greatest pablc Inconvenience may en-
sue. Unjust, therefore sometimes become,
emphatically, your duty to exercise this
executive power with which the Constitu-
ton has clothed you. You ought, especi

in which delay will produce the greatest
