THE LEGISLATURE.

On Saturday, the Senate struck out the feature of
the James River Loan BILL which provided for cut
ting Il Canal through the Blue Ridge. On yesterday
this feature was reinstated in the House of Dele
gates and the bill, with other amendments, which
may be seen in another part of this paper, was re-
turned to the Senate.
The Bill imposing taxes for support of the Co
yernuent, also rejected in the Senate on Satur-
day. Having other discretion but to pass or re-
ject IN tofo this necessary consequence of the
dsapprobation of the Senate the provision of the
bill, which imposed duty of one and half per CT
on sales by Auctioneers. This was looked upon as
State Tariff productive of the same consequences,
in a less degree, which are apprehended from the
one threatened by Congress. 1t was alledged that
in N. York. and other Northern states, from hose
Statutes the provision in question was copied, the
policy the tax was to operate on encouragement
to Domestic manufactures and fer tive purposes
of revenue and that having no manufactures to
protect or encourage, it could not be wise policy in
Virginia to adopt measure which must ultimately
defeat itself, by dscouraging importatons AMI op-
press her citizens by raising the price those articles
upon which the tax operated.
The Lottery bill was rejected yesterday in the
Senate, by large majority. Il

II Mr.. Crawford, falling in his attempt to climb
the Presidential ladder against the will of the peo-
pie, should be permitted to retire altogether from
the Cabinet, his friends have the consolation OF
knowing that he is not without taeats sufficient TO
make livelihood. He has been schooImaser,
and doubtless is too firm Republican TO think it
would be degrading TO labor again in his former
vocation. Though the Honorable Secretary, in his
Treasury Reports has not exhibited perfect know
ledge OF arithmetic, he nevertheless possesses suf-
hcient acquaintance with figures to teach enough in
that branch of education, for all common purposes

Mr.. James.-The following account of this fellow, from
the U. S. Gazette, will be interesting information to those
of readers who have persed the letter of Mr.. Cob
bett to the Author Of Naval Occurrences of the late
War between g. Britain and the U. S. of America
Who is Mr.. James ?-Since the publication of
Cobbelt's severe reply, 10 the Book making James
we have often heard the question asked, Who is this
man? We have made some inquiries relative to
this important parsonage, and have ascerlaned The
following particulars.
Mr. James, in the year 1911 arrived in this city,
fPhiladel phia from Of the British West India
Islands, in company with colored woman, whom
1t may not be proper to call servant, she
IDENTIFY apperained rather o bed than board we did
not learn that this female bore the name Of Mrs.
James. Mr.. James announced himself, in thus
city, veterinary surgeon, uatgate, horse doctor.
The learned professor had not studled comparative
anatomy in any particular school, nor received the
accustomed degree from the celebrated Doct Cole
man OF London; he was an amateur that adnted
practice. The learned Doctor soon made himself
more conspicuous Tor the violence, rather The
vrulence OF his political creed than for his yeer-
mary science. We understand that MIR. James
made very able attempt at explaining auny the
victory which Com. Hull gained over the Guerriere
this, however did not prove profitable undertaking
he succeeded better in obtaining reirad Tor bis
exutalions at the loss OF the Chesapeake, he was
Kicked out OF the Red Lion tavern, III Market street,
for his obstreperous mirth. Mr.. James became
obnoxious to certain laws favorable to the {, gaid
pro gt0,'' and having drawn largely upon the cle.
dulity of his friends in the money lending line, this
champion Of British prowess decamped, leaving
his creditors and his yellow woman minus certain
sums.
1t is proper to state, which we do upon good au-
thoriiy, that this same horse doctor is the pei son
who furnished Clifford with the materials of his
first and most viorht TRADE Of abuse against Amer
ica, which appe red in the Quarterly Review. This
we are persuaded Of from The TACT that know a
person who cot from country paper, and handed
to Mr. James, one or Two of the articles which
Clifford published; and further, James himself,
while in this country was known TO be the author
(the fellow had some genius) OF one or two Of the
lies which the Quarterly Review aiterW ards iepub-
llshed as Gospel.
We do not wish TO repress The spirit OF hospitality
for which country has been justly famed, but
we certainly believe that the creduity and good
feelings four citizens have been long enough sport
cd with, by these ysgabond book-makers, who
escape the whipping post OF their own country
steal or swinde their way through The United
States--return, make book of falsehoods, and are
remuneraed by g certain money loose in the trea
sury,'' by the awards given Tor horse whipping
received.

ELECTORAL. ELECTION.

Rhode Band-Electors friendly to Mr. Adams have been
chosen in tins slate. We have account of the
number Of votes poed but the Providence Journal says
hat not than 2o0 were given in opposition to the
Adams Electors.
North Ca,vtad The Raleigh Star of November 20, has

They give the "People's Ticket, which was voted by the
friends Of Adams and Jackson 30 O7 votes and The Craw

officially heard fom Onslow, which it is said had given
ory OF $40 for the Peoples Ticket. The Raleigh Re-
gscr CraN ford paper, says that the whole Of the
STATE will go for jackson. This inclined TO doubt,
and link that Adams will have part Of the votes We have
however, in Electoral Table placed the Is otes Of

81 The people. -Whatever may be the result of the
Presidenal election, in the Electoral Colleges, or
I'm the House of Representatives, one thing seems 10
2bave been already demonstrsted-that the Caucus
~ STEM is held 10 Just adherence by the people Of
zine United States. We most sincerely congratulate
4hem up,n the triumph they have achieved, over a
#sel created central po0er, not only unknown TO the
Reconstruction, but utterly subversive in its tendency,
o the very principles which give to that instrument
ga its claims to our veneration. The triumph has
abcen even more complete than the warmest friends
the people had looked for. The Caucus, with its
@loug train of attendant evils, has been put down,
I and pu down. we doubt not for ever. The arsto
8crstir league formed ofthe indictments and ntras
Of every party, which sought usurp the privileges
OF tie people, and while it modesty protested TO
aim at nothing more than to recommend, artfuliy
ATTEMPTED to dictate to the freemen OF this country,
whom they should choose rulers, has been dis
membered, broken up, and every where put to rout
II remains only for the people TO say the word and
before another Presidential shall have closed, u
may be placed beyond the power OF any similar
i league to disturb the tranquility, or endanger the
freedom, OF our great election. Let them call upon
their natives in Congress to amend the con
sttution it regards the election OF President and
Vice President: let the right OF choice be given oil
rectly the people, in Districts there can be then
no caving about what is, and what is not, the Will
O the people and above all, lei the moae OF cleo

of the National Advocate, and Albany Argus, with regard

ave can assure Col. Binns, of the Democratic
Press, that he is only exposing his ignorance OF The
state Of affairs in New York. by such paragraph:
as he has put forth for Two OF three days past. VIZ
should suppose that Col B., and other editors at The
SOUTH had by this time become weary OF the decep
ltons practsed upon them by the Advocate ana Ar
gus. 10 regard to the electors OF this state, Col
b. has asserted Two days in succession that no per
sons friendly to MIR. Clay chosen and that the
eleven opposed to MIR. Adams, are Crawordltes
Now the fact happens to be. as IN due time Col
will find, that the electors first chosen, by The
votes of the friends Of Mr., Clay, were positively
pledged to their candidate And had not the pledgt
been specifically made, the whole Adams tcke
