HENRY CLAY.

Alta meeting of the Members of the
Virginia Legislature, favorable to the
Election of Henry Clay, to the Office Of
President of the United States, at Rich
mond, March 8, 1924, it was
Resolred, That Hector Davis, Of. the
II. of ID. and Edwin $. Duncan, of the
Senate be appointed a Committee to
frame suitable address to the People
of Virginia, assigning the reasons of
this meeting for its preference of Henry
Clay, for the Office of President of the
United States: And that the same Com
mittee do frame an Elect al ticket;
and also name suitable persons to con-
stitute a Central Committee, in the
City of Richmond, who shall be en-
poweredto communicate to the Elec-
tors proposed to be chosen, their selec-
ton; and, in the event of any of said
Electors declining to act, to nominate
such other persons as they may deem
proper; andlalso,t to appoint if necessary,
corresponding Committees in the diff
terent counties of this Commonwealth,
But IN adopting this course, any inten-
ton to array one portion of the State
against anotheris disclaimed--its only
effect will be, by widening the field of
selection, to afford, to the people of
Virginia, the opportunity of making
the best choice under circumstances
that may possibly occur.
The Committee appointed to prepare
an address, and TO fame an Electoral
Ticket and Central Committee, sub
mitted the following, which was adop-
tedand ordered to be published. y,

PennsylUania,-A expected, the Harrisburg
Convention has nominated Gen. Jackson for the
Presidency, and Mr. Calhoun for the Vice Pre-
sidency. Although Gen. Jackson is not our ia
vorite. we confess we prefer him TO the Wash
ington Caucus candidate. Good evidence has
been given of disposition on the part of the
Pennsylvanians not to be gulled by the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Gallatin. The nomination of Mr..
Calhoun as Vice President, we think. cannot
reasonably be opposed in any section of the u
mon. His talents and worth undoubtedly emit
tie him to the second, if not the first, office in
the gift of the people; and we believe that no.
thing but his age has seriously operated against
his pretensions Eight years hence, should his
popularity progress in the ratio lit has done
since his appearance in public life, his claims
will be irresistible.

We heartily rejoice to find that the cause OF
Mr.. CLAr has not been abandoned by his ma
tive Virginia. True and genuine worth, though
ellen, in its operation upon those who full
10 .norecia,e it, is irresistisly powerful, and
mus, ultimately prove triumphant 1t has been
frequently alleged, and we fear too generally
believed, that Mr.. CIay's prospects are desPe'
rate. And 1hyl Because his character dignlh-
Ell, consistent and towering above caluninyi his
principles, though liberal, yet firm and decisivei
his iudicous and patriotic zeal, evinced through
a long course of public usefulness, ask no aid
from the bIazoning trumpets Of parastical prints
Had he been so unfortunate, as to have rested
under the imputation (bowever unjust) ofhav
ing suppressed an important public document"
bad he ever been charged with Inconsistency,
and temporising conduct in regard to his pohti
cal principles" or had be ever openly, jsnd IN
the face of day sstrampled upon the laws CT his
country" then had his friends and enemies JOIN
ed the contest, and the dread charge OF edito-
rial fury had resounded throughout tse most
,enote corners of our country. But not so.-
His nublic character unimpeachable, needs no
defence. Silent, dignifed. and always consis-
tent has been his political career, and we trust
such exalted merit will not go unre warded.--
But it IS not his past services. however strong
NAV be their claim to the gratitude Of his coun-
try. upon which we found our preference. We
frankly avo@ that it is from motives OF policy,
which. while it embraces the best Interests OF
our country generally, is more intimately con
nected with the prosperity of that district OF
country, interested in the Chesapeake and O.
hio Canal, that we recommend him to our tel
low.citizcns. From the i'll success attending
the efforts that have been made in the .legisla-
lures Of the two states mainly concerned IN this
great and important work, we have little reason
to expect its speedy accomplishment, It is to
Congress then, that we must look, And to
whom are we more Indebted, than to HENRY
CLAY, for his manly and powerful exertions in
effecting this purpose' And in what other can
dldate can we inorS saieiy CoilhaC ouI '1NNA~'S'
on this score? Should he be our next President,
we may expect success; if not, this district OF
country, possessing, as it does, such important
natural advantages, will in all probability, be
left TO struggle on with difficulty, distress, and
poverty, while Others feed upon the fat of our
land. ..
But let US not be misunderstood. We do not
urge these as paramount considerations in, ia
your of Mr.. CLAY. No! His perfect knowledge.
and correct principles of internal policy, his
views of South American liberty, bis desire to
meet danger at a distance, and to plant the
standard Of free principles at the very threshold
of Despotism, win, we humbly trust. and con-
fdenty believe, prevail in exslting him to the
proud station TO which he is called

the constitution, TO guard it with a " fam
ing sword"
In the 18th section Of the second arti-
Gle it is declared that no senator or re-
preventative shall be appointed to any
civil Office under this state, which shall
have been created, or the emoluments of
which shall have been increased during
the period for which he was elected !;
and in the 25th section Of the same arti-
Gle 1t goes on, among other things, 10
say, that no person holding any Iucra-
tive office under this state, shall have a
seat in the general assembly. No lam
guage can furnish more definite prohi-
billions against the exercise of distinct
powers, than is contained in these two
sections. They point, with an unerrjne
hand, to the distinct and separate duties
OF the office-holder and the law-glver,
and forbid their junction in the same
person. The one evidently in,erdic,s
the legis laiure from carving out places
tor themselves, or organizing places oil
public emp 'oYnent, and filing them with
their own members. II there be any
members Of your body, holding lucrative
offices under this state, their seats are in
effect declared vacant by the other Sec
ton alluded to. Your memoria lists are
aware that persons may differ as to what
is civil office under the constitution !;
but they will not withhold the expression
0. their belief, that whenever law is
passed creating place of employment
to which there Is annexed salary, or
recompense given and paid by the state,
such is such civil Office as is contem-
plated by the constitution.
They present these considerations TO
your body, with the hope tina, they may
have salu'ary effect in checking any
attempts to violate the constitution, and
operate as an inducement 10 yield Already
obedience 10 all its iplunctions. Safety
and security to our political rights, viii
be assured to US, when our public men,
entrusted with the enactment OF our laws,
are fully sensible of the obligations i'm
posed upon them by tne constitution, and
feel, that, like the moral law, whoever
otfends in one title, is guilty of all. With
The hope that the sentiments herein ex.
pressed may be acceptable to you, and
receive your sanction and approval, your
memoria!is,s, as in duty bound, will ever
pray, &c.

.Hnezu discovered stable Of Commerce.
MIR. Joseph Giles, an ingenious tam
ner of this county, has discovered and
reduced 10 practice method OF obtain
ing liquid extract from oak or hem
lock bark, saturated with the Tanning
principle 10 so high degree, that calf
skins immersed therein will be tho-
roughly and fairly tanned in 4s hours,
and other hides in times equally short in
proportion 10 their thickness. One hogs
head of Mr.. Giles extract contains the
certain tanning power Of four cords of
bark. There is no foreign substance
used by Mr.. Giles in his extract, nothing
but the pure tanning lixiyum, drawn by
an ingenious and peculiar process from
the bark. MIR. Giles has secured to him
self the exclusive right to his discovery,
and is erecting works for an extensive
manufacture of the article. He has tes-
timoniais from tanners Of the first re-
speciality in the cities of Troy, Albany,
New York and Brook Ign, who have tried
his article, of its surprising power and
efficacy, in separating, with great rapid.
ty, the gelutine from the hide, and pro-
ducing the leather in fine, durable and
healthy condition.
Great public benefits are likely to re-
suit from his discovery. In addition TO-
the great saving Of time and labor, tho
leather produced by the use of this IL
quor being more completely tanned will
weigh heavier, wear better, and be less
susceptible Of moisture than leather tan.
oed in the usual way. Cord, ropes and
cables, saturated with this tanning prin-
ciple, will support much greater weights
withsu. breaking, be less liable to be
worn by friction, and will wear moro
smoothly on pullies, and thereby super.
ccde the use Of tar.
This iixivum being also the mos, pow
erful and friendly estringent yet disco.
vered, will probably be Of great use 10

raj Jackson against the attack OF those
who now avow themselves his political
friends; but the influence of the repub-
licans OF this great state ought not to be
leopardzed by an unreasonable attach
ment to any Northumberland even to &C.
neral Jackson. Why not then, | saw,
prepare to act according to circum-
stances, so that Pennsylvania may have
its due weight in any contingency.
II 1t should SO turn out that before the
meeting of the electoral college there
would be almost moral certainty that
Gen. Jackson could not, with the whole
vote oil Pennsylvani, be elected Presi
dent, is it not unreasonable and absurd
that it should be thrown away or him,
when, by giving il to some other favorite
candidate, Pennsylvania could make the
President? There can be no difficulty in
answering The question.
IL Is therefore respectfully submitted
TO The republicans OF Pennsylvania, whe-
iaer they shun,d not mcetin electoral dis
lrlets, and pass resolutions instructing
their several nominated electors that they
shall not be bound, under all circum
stances, 10 vote for Gen. jackson, but
they may, and ought, in certain events,
give their sutfrages 10 John Q. Adams,
or to some such Other candidate as may
have, by his superior talents and repub-
lican principles, secured the confidence
oil the people; and as il is highly pro-
babe that The republicans Of Pennsylva-
MIA will lind i, their duty to take this
course, to set the exa nple, would beg
leave TO suggest, that the people of this
district, friendly to the election of Gen.
Jackson, should have public meeting,
euher al some central place in the dis
tric,, or IN their respective townships, for
the purpose OF so instructing JOHN RUSH,
their Nominated elector. Ii is course
Of liberal policy which not only the m
terest of Pennsylvania demands, but
which would really be pleasing TO her
iavorite candidate, General Jackson, vino
has LOO much magnanimily to desii e
SO great a sacrifice as might result, in
adherng, nndsr all circumstances, 10
his nomination. Besides, i, is we'll un-
dersiooi, that of all the rival candidates
