views OF those who are Its members. This par
ty is like an incubus on the energies Of the State
While New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia,
and the other States engaged in generous and
beneficial rivalry in the Development of their
separate resources, and are rising in popua-
ZION, and wealth, and character: Virginia hangs
her head like lovely flower, upon whose bloom
and sweetness the concealed worm is feeding
enjoying capacity for greatne ss-peo pled with
high-minded and hospitable citizens-worthy
ofglorious de stiny-and able, if left TO the free
exertion OF the political faculties with which
she is endowed, to outstrip thousand compe-
,itors in the race ofreputalion every advantage
is paralyzed, every prospect clouded, every bril-
liam, tendency perverted, by the uuwholesome
influence Of the Richmond Junto. The first de-
sire ofevery good republican, Of every citizen
who wishes 10 see the representative system o.
pcrating in its purity, must be that Virginia
may rescue herself from the power Of that &C
tive, and cunning, and well organized minority,
which mas heretofore governed her whole po-
pulation, with despotsm as complete as ever
Turk or Arab exercised The elements Of re-
voiuiIon are not altogether met in Virginia.
The people WILL sooner or later, feel that they
are degraded, insulled, easlaved by this iunto;
and when The conviction of this their true con-
dtion shall be sufficiently known among them,
who that knows their chivaIrous nature, their
high sense of indignity, their sensitiveness to
all assaults on their rights, can doubt as 10 the
course they will pursue, The course of a sun.
beam is not more certain. Ii is the dread of the
consequences, which induces the Enquirer to
make such desperate efforts to perpetuate the
delusion il has aided 10 create, by making its
columns the vehicles for the circulation of such
sentiments and statements only as will subserve
the purposes Of the party. Hence all the dis
colored paragraphs abou, Jackson meetings,
and opposition meetings; hence the cant tina,
The people were insulted by the election uf MIR
Adams, (although the Enquirer and the Rich
mond party supported candidate who had ma
ny fewer votes from the people.) hence the tri-
umph that all the trading measures of the gov
ernmenI were frustrated. The party can only
be kept alive by such regimen. We shall ad-
YER, TO this subject again. As to Pennsylvania,
also, we shall have few words 10 say. There
are men in that State who would fain enslave
her; but her citizens are beginning to awake
from aaathy. -

PUBLIC MONEY.
Since the gentlemen Of the opposition have
aDrlied themselve, to inve. tiga,ng the accounts
of Mr. Adams, Mr.. Clay, Mr.. King and Mr.
Rochester, they surely cannot take it amiss that
| should investigate the accounts Of their i'm.
macula,e idol Gen. Jackson is held forth 10
the American people as man we'll qualified 10
correct all abuses, especially in public expendi-
,ure He is TO cleanse the Augt an stable at
Washington, being as upright as Arislides, and
as Indifferent to money as Diogenes himself
IL we may believe them, he mas never touched
a far,hing Of public money, under any circum-
stance that might be questioned; but rather
has sacriced himself aud his fortune for the
public good

lived at home, and made some extraordinary
