that that body has in every instance been decidedly
opposed to- the course, endin one instance (when Mr.
Giles resolutions were passed) contained majority
whose unPreiudiced and unbiased opinions, led them
to conclusions directly opposite TO those, which pre-
vailed upon by the fear of political denuDcation and
uDwillingness to separate from a supposed majority

dy, on each Of the occasions mentioned, who basey
surrendered their avowed private Opinions to the cow
ardly apprehension of being left in minority; and
acting under the obligation Of an oath to support the
constitution permitted themselves to declare that un-
constitutional which in fact they believed and in pri-
vate, declared to be constitutional. Wcare far from

To THE EDiroRs OF RICHMOND WuIG
= Gentlemen: -As plain man in the country, | saw
and was satisfied with the statement that the diff
eDce of opinion between Col. Goech and Mr.. Richie,
was the cause which prevented the Editors of that
paper from expressing an opinion the Convention
question Since it has been Known TO the public that
Col. GOoch has retired from the editorial desk
the public have looked with some expectation to that
paper for profound views in favor of Conyen-
ton. Ii this they have been disappointed and at this
time, arc unable to see to what side the ENQUIRER
will direct its influence. Is Il to be tolerated. that
paper claiming to control public opinion more Than any
other, should have no opinion Of its own--or what is
worse that the editors of that paper should have an
opinion, they have not the frlnness to express il?
In times like the present, when the Fundamental
laws of our State are passing in review before the
people, those who have receyeda large portion of the
public patronage, have been generally considered
bound to express their opinions, and the reasons
which influenced them. Nor can it be believed, that
Editor, such times could be influenced in con-
ceaiug his opinion, by any other motive than self
interest. am unwilling to attribute such motive to
Mr. Richie; but unless he believes that the ghost of
Col Goocl still haants his steps, other motive can
he assigned.
Would not be well for the Editors Of the ENQUIRER
to remember that they danger of being branded
with the epithets Of hypocrtea disgrace more to be
dreaded by those who before the public than any
other; for in public estimation, it has been correctly
stated tbat Of all the cants that are catcd IN this
cantiDg world, the cant of hypocrisy is the most
oiious." RUSTICUS.
