TO the FreehoLders Of Berkeley.

1t appears that Col Alexander King of Hsmp.
shire. has at length yielded to the solicitations
of his friends, and consented to become can.
dldste, to fill the existing vacancy in oGr Sena-
toriaI district.
Col. King, has been late in offering himself
before the people of this district bis DELAY was
occasioned by the information he received of
the probability Of candidate being started in
Berkeley, with whose pretensIo,is to that hi nor,
be had no wish to Interfere.
j Col. King, for several years represented the
4 county Of Hampshire in the legislature of this
State. He there, by the soliditv OF his iudc.
men, his devotion to the interests of his con.
stuents, and his general attention to The poll
cy and welfare OF the State. ACQUIRED the meri.
ted reputation OF useful ard attentive member
Col. King enjoys popularity IN Hampshire,
which coulo only have been the result of well
tried moral integrity, and highly gifted social
qualifications. In the late contest for the Clerk
ship OF that county, he received upon the FIRST
ballot, decided plurality of votes, and must
inevitably have been elected but for the com.
blned opposition OF his rival candidates.
In private life, no man enjoys more unspot.
ted reputation. Ills character admirably com
blnes the liberality OF the gentleman with the
! punctuaiity of the man of business. Afiabilitv
and politeness distinguish his department 10 ali
1 who approach him whether on the line of bus.
ness, or The intercourse of social life, His little
y farm house might we'll DE denomnated. the
''obsde Of hospaahty." And while others pre-
8sent, the melancholy instance Of harpe fortunes
seaHsred by dissipation, Or sGumdsTed IL, tetid
#nnd reckless Speculation, Col. King presents the
8 more gratifying example OF man, who has
B demlnIsheG his means alone by the extent of his
g hospitsli'y-the Kindness and humanity of his
affections. Hampshire may feel proud in re.
commenting such a man to the suffrsges Of

remarks from the Chairman, Moses L. Hunter
and Charles James Faulkner, Esuaires. the fol-
lowing Resolutions were unanimously adopted
Re,elved. That it s the very essence OF q
rr0u5iican government, that the majority
should rule, and the implied will Of that ma
jority, constitutes the only legitimate ground
on which obedience can be claimed to the laws
Rsgolred, That the people OF Berkeley do
not recognize this essential feature OF republ-
csnism, in the existing government OF Virginia,
and therefore, however expedent it may be,
to preserve the tranquility Of the Common
wealth, by present obedience to its laws, we
will never cease our exertions to place the 90.
vernment on a basis, better calculated TO Sc.
cure the love, veneration and obedience OF tie
people, by making It true representative OF
thelr wishes, feelings and interests
fesofrsd, That they reprobate the conduct
Of majority ofthe late legislature OF the STATE,
in rejecting bill for taking the sense OF the
freeholders, on the subject of Convention,
Notwithstanding its being supported by the re-.
presentatves OF large majority OF the free
white population of the state, and they hereby
instruct their delegates in the next General
Assembly, 10 demand such Legislative facilities,
as will assure far expression of the will Of
the people on that question, firmly convinced
that by this alone can the present agitation of
the public mind be allayed, and the tranquility
of the Commonwealth ensured
Upon the motion of Moses T. Hunter. Esq
Resofved. That the proceedings OF this meet
