To the people Of Hardy, Hampshire,
MORGAN. BerkeleH 4. Jefferson counties.

l offer myself TO you fellow citizens, as a
candidate for seat in Congress at the ensuing
election. Having no claim upon your favor, but
such as may be founded upon an accordance
with majority of you in opinion upon the grsa
objects of public policy, | deem it necessary to
saw few words on those subjects.
A friend to internal improvement, should i
elected, support any reasonable aud prudent
scheme, which should have in view, the great
objects of internal improvement, tending to u
mite the distant parts Of our country. by the ties
of mutual convenience, OF interest, and OF
commerce.
Towards the present candidates for the pre-
s;depcy. feel no such attachment to either, as
would sway my Judgment in forming an opinion
of their measures; nor such prejudice against
either. as would induce me to withhold praise
and support where they were due.
With regard to cur state politics, am de-
cidedly in favor of convention, with either
limited or unlimited powers, and shall uhde-
viatingly follow that course, which IN my opin
ion is best calculated to attain that object on
reasonable terms. | make but one exception
N any form of a convention, and that rs, that
if each county in the state 10 to be equally re-
presented in the convention, shall decidedly
opnose it, as 1 should then entertain no hope
of obtaining that share of political power and
influence, 70 which we are justly entitled. and
of which we are deprived by the present COLI
stitution.

shrink from any duty, but there were
reasons which operated on his mind, and
which induced wish on his part to decline
acting He thought those who had talk
ell part i'll the discussion should not be on
the committee, as they would scarcely 20
into 1t with unbiased minds.
Mr.. M'LANE rose to make a similar
communication as to himself taking the

William and Mary CoHege.-It will be
seen by reference to the Legislative pro-
ceedings, that the proposition to remove
this college, was lost by majority Of %
votes. On this result, we congratulate
the low country, and in fact. the state Of
Virginia. We exhort its friends TO be up
and doing, and by the vigor and energy
of their measures, to Justify the decision
Of the General Assembly, and prove the
rcctitude Of their own declarations, that
the college has hourished, and will again
flourish, where it is. To both these pro-
positions we assent, and we hope that the
displeasure Of the community will fol-
low the individual, or individuals, who
shall again talk of removal, before fair
and full experiments are made to rcsus-
citate the institution. fall efforts to this
effect prove unavailing, let the l2sisla-
ture, exercising their legitimate con-
trout over the institution, either remove
the site Of the college, or distribute its
funds among such new literary institu-
lions as = may think most advisable
and profitable.

MR.. CLAY.--This gentleman, with the consci-
business Of innocence, and the gaantry OF honor
has thrown himself and his injuries before the
House of Representatives. We lay the debate to
which his appeal gave rise, before our readers. We
neither doubt the propriety OF the decision which
referred it to select committee, or that Mr.. CLAW
will appear before this nation brighter and greater
for this lawless attack on his reputation.
