FNIDAY MORNIYG. MARCH q. Is2o.

Small PoI.-I'he business of Richlnond has suf-
icred considerably, iiom the fears OF t. country Of
the prevalence of small pox here. Rruaour from time
20 tina, has insisted tlt several cases had made their
aPPcarance in the heart Of the city. Jlc fact sno
So There is not now, aud has not been single case
the disease here. T!e official notification OF the
Mayor, aud the affirmation of DR.. Blair, 10 which
we call the country readers attention, are conclu-
sive OF this fact. And in truth, were any cases to
show themselves here, the precautions against the
spreading OF the infection, taken by the police are
such as TO prevent tie possibility of extensive inec-
tion The citizens OF the country may therefore,
feel entirely safe III visiting the town rs usual.
| We regret to learn that in the neighboFhood of
Childsbhrg, i'll Caroline, and of Hanover Town. the
disease has made its Appearance to some c.tent In
the counties south OF James River, We learn it
has subsidized. Vaccinations, and the precautionary
meas IRE of hospitals have dsarmcd this formidable
disease &C halfits ancient terrors.
/ Jackson aud Retoy7a-The case of prescription
which has Justly excited mos, Indignation is that of
Geo. Blake, u s. Attorney for tie District of Mas
sachusetts--who has been removed to make why
for Andrew Dunlap, young Irish lawyer and bawl-
CT for the Hero. Blake pnt into the Office by
Jefferson soon after his first election, and remained
at the head Of the Republican party during bis ad-
mnistrati1n, and that of AR. MISUNDERSTANDING all
the Democratic meetings, and conceded to be aman of
talent and character.
| The project Of District Conventions is met every
where by decided opposition. We ore of opinion
that wherever rcsorted to, nomination in that way
sill prove prcndicial TO the election of the nominee
The popularity and weight ofcharactor Of such men
as Madison aud Marshall may overcome popular ica-
lousy, bot in the general, the ncrpostion of nomi-
mating bodies, will be found unproductive Of public
| advantage. The Delegates from this District as
semble tO"lay, at Williamsburg. We are informed
that the purpose expressed By those from this
quarter, TO make no nomination unless the whole
District represented. We believe that nei-
their Elizabeth City, Charles City n. Kent, sent
deputicsin which case, and ifths purpose is adhered
to, nominations will be made. AS the deputies
from Richmond and Uenrico, represent about n ff-
tconth Part OF the community, we think this rcsolu
ton very prudent one.
| We understand that the District Convention at
Orange Court house (the District Of Orange Mad
ison Louisa and Spotsylvania) has nominated for the
Convention, james Madison. and Philip p. Barbour
Of Orange, Major Watson of Louisa, and Robert
Sianard of this City and are much gratifcd 10
learn that Mr.. Madison has been prevailed upon to
serve in the convention.
