In citing the case of Mr.. Loyal, as an example
Of the Misrepresentation of the people in the Rich
mor1 Caucus, we meant to attach no blame to that
gentleman If MS constituents choose for their Re-
preventative TO support one man in Caucus, when
Hcy prefer another, they have the undoubtcd right
to do so. It's, however, only on the presumption
that the Member of Congress, or Of Assembly, re-
presents the opinions of his constituents in Caucus,
that a nomination made by one, co1, have the small
est influence. If we could possibly imagine the 256
individuals who composed the last General Assem-
bly,, to have assembled in Richmond by accident,
and to have met in Caucus, being only private men'
who would have attached any weight to their re-
commendaton' II would have been published IN

the recommendation Of the same men, supporting
the character Of Members Of Assembly, is to have
the most decisive, extensive, and permanent effects
and to settle the very important question, who Vir-
g'nia will support for PRESIDENT But MIR. Loyal,
and all the rest, say they only acted private in
dividuals! If this is distinction without dii-
ference then black and white are just alike If The
corps of Lawyers in the City OF Richmond some 60
or az strong, and certainly possessing more aggre-
gate talent than the Virginia Legislature, were to
nominate President, it would make bat Il slish,
ana transient imprc .,ion-bu, the same number IF
Members OF Assembly, to bind the State, and
aihrmipy all the time, that they we're acting only as
private men. The Truth of the case is 1--WE take il
merely sratia ere,npi) that if MIR. L.. ! acted as
a Member of Assembly in Caucus, he did not repre-
sent the wishes of his constituents only as an
ndi"idua then one hundred and fifty individuals,
private gcntlemen, having public authority, can
give away the VOTES of one million OF people. Take
1t either way, and it does much smack of Rcpub-
lcanism.

SOMETHING FOR REFLECTION.

AT the commencement OF This century, the annual
expenses of the Legislature did not exceed 100000
In 1891, when the population OF The State has
NOT greatly Increased, and when the aggregate and
individual wealth of the community is greatly di-
'ninisied, they are swelled to Sl21,0O0. But we
were told by Mr.. Leigh, tina, if this was upporoned
among the people by captation tax, it would not
amount 20 nnepence head! The circulating me-
dunn of Virginia is or S7,000,OOO and t,, apoo.-
TONED IN the same way, would be five six dollars
Il head! What is five or six dollars TO any man {.
Gentlemen OF the Legislature sit long enough to a-
sorb all the money in the State Of Virginia; it will
only be five or six dollars head, and surely Ibis is
no object

NEW YoRK.-Co1o. Youve.

The abandonment Of Gov Yates by the caucus,
and the taking up of Colo. Young. together with
the other proceedings of the members at Albany arc
so extraordinary and complicated, that they have
confused the political scent There is a disposition
to attribute every thing that occurs i'll that capital
to intrigue and management, and we are afraid
there Is too much ground for the suspicion. The
newspapers of every party claim advantage from the
late evcntS-all W. believe, erccpt the friends of
Mr.. Crawford. Even Mordccai Manassch Mendez
Pinto Noah, with all his harGhood of assertion, and
resolution in denial, has not been able to discover
IN them, any thing suspicious to the cause Fof Mr.
Crawford whilst his opponents exult over them as
inialliblc omens of his and AIR. Van Buren's "de-
cline and fall i'll that State. The friends of Mr..
Clay consider the nomination of Colo Young his
friend, as conclusive-but if Mr.. Yates YVES dropp-
ed because nc was opposed to the electoral law and
70 Clay, why was Gen. Root retained? And if Colo
mel Young nominated because he was fricnd;
10 Mr.. Clay, why did not his friends also exclude
Gen. Root from the nomination? But if the friends
of Mr.. Crawford the ma jority, as is pretended
Why they so impoiitic aud ungrateful as to a.
with them, and was even prepared to put his reto on
the electoral law? Our friend Mo.dccai pretends TO
infer from the retention of 1t. Gov Root the suoc
rior strength of Mr.. Crawford with the Legislature
But we will ask the Major which j., the stronoes,
case and proves the most, the retaining OF Gen.
Foot the second or the discardal OF Gov Yates TIE
principal?
The truth is, that the late event at Albany i,
either very simple one, turning entirely upon the
personal popularity of the two men, it is the
suit of a profound policy, too deep for those who
arc not in the to fathom and 10 be developed
only by time and consequences. We are inclined to
think it the first and that Colo. Young was prcfcrr-
ell only because he was personally. best liked.
| There is dissatisfaction with the nomination in
different parts of the State, and the 18th July is fixed
for the meeting of Convention at Albany, to no.
inmate President, Presidential Electors, Governor
and 1t. Governor, & o. States Senator. We may
expect extraordinary events in the United States du-
ring this year, and hope for the sake of mankind
as well as for particular country, that the arri-
val of the middle of the spring Of 1925, may find il
possessing the calm reposc, that il bass long
| been blessed with

DINWIDDIE GRAND JURY.

lnoai columns of to-day will be found u paper of
much force from the Grand Inquest OF Dnwi,ldie
county. The Jurs complain with great force and
justice Of the nordnate length of tho sessions Of the
General Assembly. They call upon their fellow
citizens to elect men to the neHt General Assembly
disposed TO lessen the evils Of which they co,nplain
and they express their decided opinion OF the neces-
shy OF revising the Constitution of Virginia" We
are happy at the manifestation Of such a spirit in
the large and respectable county of Dinwiddie-
when the same complaints bnrst forth from the peo-
PIE at the same time, ana without concert. from all
parts oil the State when they are made the suect OF
Grand jury presentmrnts, ana Of popular meetings.
1t Is proof enough that there is cause for then-,l,o
there is something radically defective in the Const
tuition The fame is spreading, and the people viii
have Convention, in spite of the denunciatiom -
treason, and all the efforts of the friends OF aui

To Philip Aorbo,ns .hrcioias, Esq.

A friend to Philip Norborne Nicholas. and n
member Of the Republican party, asks him 10
review his argument before the meeting CT So
tnrday last He asserted on that occasion, that
an act ola common legislature was superior to
the Constitution, and the ELL of Rights, and that
tho people had no right to assemble and delbc-
rate on a change of the Constitution. He pro-
nounced any such act on their parts, TREA-
son and REBELLION against the constitu-
ted authorities. Whence did he derive this
monstrous and ultra Royal opinion Never
surely, from the orthodox Republicans of this
land The elder members Of his famiv-Ro-
bert c. Nicholas, John Nicholas of Gcnnesscc,
George Nicholas OF kv., the late Wilson Carey
Nicholas of Virgina-would they have uttered
such opinions Never. You talk of treason
against the constituted anthorities-believc me
sir, you have approached much more nearly TO
