RUSH unanimously supported tor Vice President
Every thing done without dissenting voice,
and the Convention closed It's business at halt past
O'clock this afternoon.
From the alexandria Gazete, JGn II.
We learn from several members Of the Conven.
ton who have Just returned from Richmond, that
august assemblage of Patriots closed their duties on
Saturday evening last, by an able and appropriate
prayer from the Rev. Mr.. Kerr, of the body
! The Committee, of which Chapman johnson, ESQ.
was chairman, reported an address to the people Of
Virginia. accompanied by series of resolutonsa all
| OF which were unanimously adopted The address ,
is the acknowledged production of the distinguished
chairman, and is admitted by all to be mastery
effort Of composition and argument. One Of The
resolutions nomnaes John Quincy Adams as the
most suitable Candidate for the Presidency and
another nomnates Richard Rush for the Vice Pre,
dency.--The purport of the others we have not had
time to learn.
From the Marylander
We congratulate the people of America the
bright prospects which beam upon the Of the
country from Virginia. The array OF talents, weight
lof character and deserved influence Of those named
in her Anti-Jackson Electoral ticket, receive
n the certain guarantees that the vote of that State
II will be given to Mr.. Adams. Ii is impossible that
so hgh-ninded and intelligent people as those of
Virginia resist the appeal made TO their pa
t triotism The names of MADISON and M UNROE,
: those censcrp fathers of the republic, must carry
g a moral force with them, which cannot fail to pro-
4 1uce conviction in the minds of ALL who have not
PREDETERMINED to suffer their to be led cap

g MR.. MARTIN AND MR.. VAN BUREN.
- - Though Mr.. Martin, of Souh-C Carolina, an
knowlcdged enemy of Domestic Manufactures, has
Id the credit, with persons OF originating the pro-
n ect of sending for the persons and papers Of The
nc manufacturers, the Boston Courier believes thathc
20. proposition originated with Mr.. Van Buren, and
C. that its sole object to relieve the Jackson
g. of New FORK and Pennsy ylvania from the dangerous
=, position they occupy between their constituents and
=" nt The managers of the Opposition If the jackson
a members from those states support and vote for that
e. protection whchis required by their constituents,
Up they lose the confidence and forfeit all claim to the
u - consideration Of those men who lead in the oppos-
,t ton They could expect to be again used in
rs the honorable capacity ofinsruments to elevate the
ne, other very honorable gentlemen! Then, suppose
'e they their dcators wish them, will they dare
III 60 home, and meet the offended majority Of their
of constituents They dare not. What, then, is be
iUe done? The great magician and improver Of the
press, furnishes at once method of relief With
a as prophetic sagacity Mr.. Van Buren, if
e Der right, had, months BEFORE in his speech at
Albany, hinted at this ccry proposition. The plan
ion adopted by the House, and ends the first act of
he the farce got up to give the goby TO the business OF
'"' revising the tariff unless this bold and bareaced
sh proceeding should SO nsense the people, that public
ink opinion, pressing the majority in Congress, may
to drive them to relaxation of their resolution.
