Tyler was substituted as The colleague of Mr.
farewell. There is an additional tact. 4, was
kno in that Mr.. Tyler was put in nomination
by Mr. Moore; who avowed in his place, in
The House OF Delegates. that he bad voted tor,
and should again support MIR. Adams. The
election OF Mr. Tyler was also advocated by Mr.
LeftieT, an opponent Of the politics of the
State. and by Mr.. Davis, Of Hanover. who was
formerly and then the friend OF MIR. Clay, and
who during the discussion, defended the Presi-
dent sgainst the malignant yituperatl0n Of the
same parsonage who shone 50 conspieuously in
proelamatIons on the Niagara frontier in the late
war, aud more recently has attempted 20 sap
the foundation OF the Holy Religion OF Chest.
Mr.. Davis, however offended his constituents
by his opposition OF Mr.. Randolph, whilst the
same objection was urged against many other
delegates, all of whom, as far | know, have
been reelected, But, what Can be SAID OF Mr.

mistaken IN ms sentiments
"AnotheP circumstance which has contribu
ted to convince my mind that the sentiment
OF this State is opposed to Jackson, is the last
! guberaatorial election, 1t was known TO the
members OF the General Assembly, that our
enlightened Governor had refused, perempto
riiy, at Petersburgh, to pledge himself to vote
for the General. and thar his refusal was
received with bursts of applause. 1t was
likewise known that Mr., Hugh Nelson, and
Mr.. John Floyd were in favor of his cleo.
ton: yet Mr.. Nelson and Mr.. Floyd received
together about ninety votes, and Mr.. Giles was
! elected on the first ballot. The Legislature
consists of two hundred and thirty four mem
bers, of which he received upwards Of one
hundred, and would have gotten many more,
IT all had been present.
"There was another election; or, II may be
said. there were two elections in the Council OF
State. The first, of two to leave 1t, and the
second. OF two 10 supply the vacancies occa-
| stoned by the removals, 1t is known that the
highly respectable gentlemen, who were bal
| lotted out of the Council, were for the General,
and that four OF the remaining six were against
him. The gentlemen who we're elected into the
| Council, were, as | have been told oppo,ed to
him.
"The Districts represented by Mr.. L. p. Bar
bour, Mr.. Allen, Mr.. Smyth, Mr.. Davenport,
Mr.. Roans, Mr.. Trezevant, aud MIR. hives,
are said to be for the General, and nine others
against him, leaving six unknown, and to turn
he scale as future events may incline them
My own opinion is, that the estimate for the
General IS as full. as he is entitled to. You may
rest assured that the proud and jealous spirit Of
freedom, which has so long animated the PEG.
| pie Of our beloved and illustrious State, is not
asleep; and it seeSs to me that they nsver
| can embrace the Generals cause-thst they
! cannot forgive his military violence to the con

and one Territorial Government. and other
! acts, as little suited 10 toe meridian of Re

| successful offenders against the liberties OF other
People has been beneficial TO them"
With these facts then before us, exhibiting
some idea OF the sentiments of this State, what
is the course which duty and patriotism points
| out TO the friends of the Administration Is it
to remain Silent, whilst an active, organised Jun
