Let into the evidences the
"Retrenchment" Of which the Speaker has told YOU.
Gov. Barssor, old aud tried Republicau--triet in
the day of peril and national dangcr--was sent to
England last summer by Mr.. Adams. also at the OK
pcuse of $4,000, salary and outfit. Mr.. Barbour is
recalled, and Mr.. McLanc, old and uniform FeJc.
rast and who has the honesty to declare himself
still Federalst, put in his place. and this too before
Mr.. Barbour has had time to render services for the
money received. Mr. Barbour too, is entitled by law,
to 81 500 Tor Unfit. How then stands the account?
For these two items alone the nation has been put to
the ertra expcDcc of S27 000that is to say, $4,000
Tor Nloores outfit, $4,000 for NIcLanes outfit, $500
for Gen. Harrisons init, and $500 for Gov. Bar
bour's irtQ. This would have been sarei had Gen
Harrison and ov. Barbour been suffered to remain
IN the countries where they already paid to 60.
and where they would have remained, but for Cen
Jackson's determination to reward his pattzaus out
OF the national Treasury.
Deduct then, 6tr Amos Kendals and Mr.. Isaac
Hills great saving of $3.50 from the OF $4,000,
thus prodigally, and wantonly, laysiled upon Mr.
Tho. Moore and Mr.. McI-ane, and we have the true
amount Of the reiyenchme,h effected, orer Me len
Shouider People Of Hanover, could you listen with
patience to statements less insulting to your I'M
Outstanding than berelt of facts to support them
WHY did you not call upon the orator to specify cas-
eS! Why did not plain farmer rise and ask the
Hon. Speaker, To point Ouf the instances in winch all
this retrencment had been effected Had YOU done
this the gentleman would at once, either have sat
down, told you OF the great saving of $50 made by
Amos Kendall and ofthat only for that is all the re-
ronchnent effected, whatever else has been heard or
Mr.. w aish highly eXtols the appointment Of Lew
is Nclane to England, whom be SAYS is n good old
federalist and one who has always acknowledged it,
and defended the party. Mr.. Walsh thinks the glo-
rous era of"goud feelings has arrived and for aught
we know, daily expects Il national demand for his
own services in the diplomatic line. There is H4i-
son between Mr.. Walsh and NIr. Ritchic They
quote each other with great frequency and applause
Mr.. Richie, like Mr. Walsh, halls" Mr. DIcLancs
as ian excellent appointment" These two neutle-
men are at last pulling together in the same Y ltc
An excellent match and long may they rcruan uni
ted Nature never formed two men OF more kindred
materials who would have done more credit to St
Omers. There is this difference however in the 81 a lc
of their intellect that had Mr.. Walsh started Repub-
ican, Instead of Tory, he would not now have been
Editor of newspaper We congratulate the Hero,
upon the unreserved adhesion OF Mr. Walsh An
Administration supported by Walsh q Coleman must
fortiOri, deserve ,le confidence of the people.
The non-freehodcrs have adopted u vccv general
resolution to vote at the elections Tor the Conven-
tion This is worthy OF freeman. Their right is
undoubtcd Let them exercise it i'll favor OF the
true, original friends Of Reform. Let them beware
of wolves in Sleeps clothing-of those pretended
friends Of Reform, whose friendship commenced
precisely when the people had said there should be
Convention.
Major Lees appointment has struck spark Of
genuine feeling from the Winchester Virginan. we
honour the independence that dare speak it's opinion
under circumstances, that prove it hazardous and
DISTINGUISHED.
l. is curious fact that the only Nirgniais brought
into Office by the change of ministry at Washington
are Major Lee, and his wfcs uncle, Mr. Win. Ro
bertson! The Major all the world knows, is sent
PieniPotcniiary to his Rghness the Dcy of Algers,
and Mr. Robertson succeeds to the Bureau of Indian
Affairs! As far Q6ics is concerned it seems that
Virginia has worked only for the benefit of Major
Harry Lee and his family We hope the Major will
duly appreciate Tie hon0r of this sngularity. We
fear his ,nodcsy Will greatly suffer from the dsinc
ton.
ConrevHon.--Wc devote much OF our space TO the
publication Of subjects connected with the Convcn.
ton elections Those elections arc now nj hand and
i'll justice to gentlemen who wish to address the pub
lic time is to be lost in giving them bearug.-
We ask the people of Virginia to look at what Gov
Preston says of the Executive-he who has been
Governor of the State, aud has an experimental &C.
quaintarce, with the organization and nature of that
anomalous body.
0 Several articles Of interest laid over IN make room
for the Foresn News aud Convention mater, which vii not
admit Of delay.
o. We were mistaken in saving that the counties OF IIari.
SON. Brooke, Preston, Ohio and TYLER onv ionnrd Courr,

very powerful county.
