Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1829-04-28

the day OF peril and national danger--was sent to
England last summer by Mr.. Adams also at the ex-
Pepse OF $4,000, salary and outfit. Mr.. Barbour is
recalled, and Mr. McLane, an old and uniform Fcde-
rals and one who has the honesty to declare himself
sa Federalist 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 $500 for init. How then stands the account,
For thesetwo items alone the nation has been put to
the ert'a expence Of S27 ooo--that is to say $4,000
for Moore's outfit, $4,000 for NcLanes outfit, S45oo
for Gen. Harrison's init, and $500 for Gov. Bar
bour's u!j1. This would have been sarea. had Cen.
Harrison and c ov. Barbour been suffered to remain
in the countries where they ere already pad TO po
and where they would have remained, but for Gen
'acksons determination to reward his pattzans out
ofthe national Treasury.
Deduct then, BIZ. Amos kendali's and Mr. Isaac
Hills great snviug of Sleo, from the SUN of $4,000
thus prodigally, and wantony, lavished upon Mr.
Tho. Moore and Mr.. McLane, and we have the true
amount OF the refrenchanerh effected, over The left
shoulder. People of Hanover, could yoa listen with
patience to statements, no less insulting to Your un-
Outstanding than bereh of facts TO support them.
why did you not call upon the specify cas-
es! Why did not some plain farmer rise and ask the
Hon. Speaker, to point o,d the instances in which all
this retrenchment had been elfectes Had YOU done
this the gentleman would at once, either have sat
down, or told you of the great saving of $50 ad. by
Amos Kendall and Of that only for that is all the re-
tiunchment effected whatever else has been heard of
Mr.. Walsh highly extols the appointment of Lew
is McLane to England, whom he says is good old
tederalist and one who has always acknowledged it,
he NJ ale
rous era ofgood feelings has arrived and for aughs
we know, daily expects national demand for his
own services in the diplomatic line. There is la;
son between Mr.. Walsh and Mr. Richie. They
quote each other with great frequency and applause
Mr. Richie, like Dir. Walsh, "hails" MIR. NcLaues
as Gan excellent appointment" These two Gentle
men are at last pulling together in the same yoke
An excellent match, and long may they remain uni
tea. Mature never formed two men of more kindred
materials or who would have done more credit to ST
omers There isthis difference however in the grade
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 &. Coleman mus,
a f0yii0'l, deserve ihe confidence Of the people.
The non-freeholdcrs have adopted q very, oanar.l
resolution TO vote at the elections for the Conven
ton. This is worthy of freemen. Their right is
undoubted. Let them exercise it in favor of the
true original friends of Reform. Let them beware
of wolves in sleeps clothing-of those pretended
friends OF Reforn, whose friendship commenced
precisely when the people had said there should be
a Convention.
Major Lees appointment has struck spark Of
genuine feeling from the Winchester Virginan We
honour the independence that dare speak its opinion
under circumstances, that prove it hazardous and
disinterested.
L sa curious fact that the only Virginians brought
into Office by the change of ministry at WASHINGTON
are Major Lee and his wife's uncle, Mr. VIM. Ro-
bartecr!saghe Major all the world knows, is sent
PieaiP0tesaEy to his Highness, the Dey of Alriers
and Mr.. Robertson succeeds to the Bureau of Indian
Affairs. As far 2tcs is CONCERNED it seems that
Virginia has worked only for the benefit of Major
Harry Lee and bis family! We hope the Major vii;
duly appreciate the hono OF this singularty. We
fear his 1uoacsty will greatly suffer from the dstinc
ton.
