The recapitulation of so many names shows the
utter impossibiity OF spreading their various
before our readers; or even Diminishing satisac-
tory sketch Of them. Besides, our Summaries
would not reach many Of the districts, until the
contests are decided.-We shall lay them by ,how-
ever; and sketch the opinions of such Deputies,
hereafter, as may be delegated 10 the Convention.
II IL obvious, that they will Then assume ne in
and fashion the final results Of that august As
sembly.
UEThe Appeal of Z" An Eastern Virginian'' to
his FellowC Citizens will, in all probability, appear
in our next.
George Clinton will be 50 good as to forward
the rest of his Nos as soon possible.-The dis
cussions preliminary to the Convention Election
being now pretty well disposed OF, we can promise
the publication OF his Nos with more regularity We
should be glad TO have point ddppui with
the Author, as we have a,phamphlet on Banks
forwarded for him, to our address. En- pdssant-
Has the Author seen the Queries that have been
proposed to him by the U. S. Telegraph! Will he
permit himself TO be held up ''the Delilah en-
ployed by the Bank of the United States; by whom
Virginia is to he shorn of her strength, preparato-
ry to the approaching combat on the renewal of
the charter of that Institution" What are his
views Of that lnsttution! Is he for renewing it
Is he not opposed TO it, both on account of Const-
tutional objections, as we'll on his general anti
banking principles? Would he abolish the State
Banks, and leave the States exposed to the over
shadowins influence Of this mammoth Institution;
We trust that G. c. will. present his views on
these interesting questions, ere he relinquishes
his pen.
The Legislature OF N. York adjourned on the
9TH inst, after laborious session of 100 days
The Albany Argus states, that all the old banks,
except the hank of Columbia, sixteen in number,
obtained renewal OF their charters, and eleven
new cnes wore incorporated. perhaps in the To-
cation Of the new institutions, and the aggregate
number, the result does not equal the expectations
of many OF the applicants The progress Of the
business and population Of state, particularly i'm
the western counties, required an increase of
bank capital: precisely how much it was not easy
to determine, and where TO begin and where to
withhold was most unpleasant and difficult pau
of legislative discrimination"
appointments to O6ice-Mr. Niles objects to
members of Congress being appointed to Execu-
tive Offices, except OF the highest rade, in which
we have uniformly agreed with hin.-He repea Is
the sentiment which we uttered in 1920 or '2l, on
the appointment of Gen. Solomon Van Rensselaer,
TO the place OF deputy Postmaster at Albany which
was g earnestly resisted by Vice President Temp.
kins, and Senators King and Van Buren"-The
sentiment which we expressed was this !: &" If the
executive will not keep OIL their hands from the
representatives of the people; if they will go on
thus tempting them to desert their posts, or yield
ing 10 their solicitations in lUlere the min
isferidt office could be equally ,ceH filled 5y a
thousand others, it is time for the people TO speak
ut.'-We see no occasion 10 change this opinion
and we have uniformly thought, that in no case,
except where the office one OF the higbe st
grade, ought the President 10 interfere with the
Representatives of the People. But c,I bono2-
Gen. jackson has not broken in upon this rule--al
his appointments from either House of Congress
are OF that characteristic moment he appoints
members TO ministerial Offices as Postmas,ers, col.
lectors auditors, sc. SC. it will then be time for
the people TO speak out
The National Intelligencsr states that "the a.
mount OF money involved in the charges of NAL
teasance against Dr. Watkins, is said to be $780,"
Rumour originally represented in this city to be
much larger sum.
The same paper states that the last appointment
Of Post Master wiz of Mr.. Nies) evil stand
unaffected by the representations which have been
made against it."
The Hartford Times states, that Mr. Norton OBJ
tanned the appointment by representing that he
had been the Editor ofthe Times,-had made great
pecunary sacrifices,-and was the candidate Of
The friends OF the administration in Hartford, and
the only candidate, and thus succeeded in obtain
ing recommendations from some prominent indi-
viduals at w abingdon in Massachusetts, s. Maine
He had also obtained a Jew recommendations from
gentlemen in distant parts of Connecticut most Of
which, however, were general, and given for
different object He used them for this purpose
and taking advantage OF the short period which
Mr.. Barry had been in the department, and the
great pressure of business, he obtained the APP
pointment, and very soon left the city. In a very
few hours after, Mr.. Barry discovered that he had
committed an error, and ordered his commission to
be checked On the arrival of MIR. Niles papers
at the department. and after full representation
of the wishes of the friends of the administration in
Hartford, the appointment was revoked and con-
ferred upon Mr.. N. "OfJudge Niles, the gentle
man who superseded Mr.. Norton, theITimes saws.
ga more worthy and upright man does not exist
his reputation Is without spot or blemsh, and he
has been distinguished for integrity of character
and honorable conduct throughout his whole
life"
The rumours about Gen. Houston are of too
unpleasant description 10 be repeated They re- .
late to domestic misortunes. He has not only re.
signed the governors chair Of Tennessee-but
abandoned the State, and for ever!
