Abiding TO the late election of Govcrnor Of
this Commonwealth, the Constitutional Whio
holds forth the following languages: "rhis is ,
new example Of what is becoming very common
inlyirginia, and what loudly proclaims the ne.
csssity OF convention, and the squalzing re-
presentation in the Lsgislature--namely, the
Legislature thinking and acting one way, aud
the great body OF the people thinking another.
So long as County with $50 freeholders pos.
sesses the same weigh, IN the General Assem-
biz, with Que Of 1890, IL must be entirely acci.
dental ifthe wishes of tue people are respected.

of State. Who then will the General
.elects Livingston is perhaps better
qualified than any other, but there is
rule Of the Senate prohibiting the raii-
fcation of the nomination of a public
defaulter. Mr.. Tazewelt's acquil ements
and experience run altogether in the
line OF law and logic. He has neither
diplomatic experience, any known init.

oninion that the Post Master General
would be elevated to this responsible
station, if the events OF the four last
wears had not altered the relationship ia
which the Secretary Of State was form

the Hero will have to put up with some
accord rate man, unless Mr. Richie can
be tolled from the task of directing the

out this hint for the wisdom of General
jackson.

be confessed, that there was never
greater need for an able cabinet
