sunk an Durep VIII De Secretary OF State Tazewell
Of the Treasury, Mclean, the present p. N. g.,
ofWar, Bib ofKy., Attorney General.
We are inclined to think that this speculation is
mot wide Of the mark. Rumour says that Mr. Taze-
wells resignation Of his scat in the Senate VIII be
received 10 time to enable the present General As.
eemoiy to supply the vacancy. 1t is said that Mr..
Orayton and the whole South Carolina Representa-
tion, have intiuated that none OF them can accent
ONCE under General jackson, as their principles will
necessarily place them in hostility to his Adminstra.
uon-providcd we suppose, he supports protective
garff. This Is honest. BY the same reasonipr
MIR. Calhoun ought to resign the Vice Presidcncv
lancashire which we believe would give great salts
faction to the majority of those who elected him.
Rsrachuenf.-Thc Reirenchmept Committee of
the House Of Representatives have repor,ed bill for
reducing the per diem allowance of members of Con-
gress when the sesso exceeds four months in length
To t1oo dollars per diem. Members are also required
TO certify that they have not been absent during INV
day for which they claim paw and they are to be de-
pr'ven OF the privilege subscribing public expense

We misunderstood Mr. Ntzlugh of Fairiax, when
no represented him ns stating that the education IF
School masters, was part of the new system under
which it Is proposed to place the annual appropriation
fdr primary education.
As an ardent friend to the education of s c,,ss.s
weexpress the hope that the system proposed bv Mr.
Eitzhugh, (Which We consider after the Convention
the most important measure of the SESSION. will be
cafried into effect by tho General Assembly. I, Is
dme that the noblo fund provided by the bcraty of
Virginia, for 30 noble purposn, should be efficiently
administered. And what safer course can possibly be
Taken, than to engraf into our system OF primary
edncaton. the fruitful experience Of SO many States,
We learn from Kentucky, that Geo. Robertso,,
ms been. Nominated to the Senate Chief Justice
OF the State, vice Geo. n. Bib, translated 10 the
senate; and Richard a. Buckner, Judge of the
Court Of Appeals in Dir. Robcrtson's stead The
senhtc had rejected Mr.. Robertsons nomination, on
the ground that he must first resign his present
place of associate Justice. No doubt vas enter
