knows that the sword of Damoces is suspended over
the head of King and -Aristocracy-that the people
are essentially, and almost universally, democratic
that they ground into dust and ashes, by the
payment of 6o,O00,O00 sterling of taxes, annually
that this is barely within the limits of national ab-
ity-that the general failure of single crop could
scarcely fail to produce declaration of Governmental
bankruptcy, and in all probability, Revolution. So
artificial and complicated has the machinery which
works the Government become, that in the nature of
things it cannot last We know that this prediction
has been continually made since the vast accumula
ton of public debt in the wars of Geo. ii and III.
and has not yet been accomplished. But certain
time is necessary to ri pen moral causes well the
fruits of the earth. The precise moment is contin-
gent but the event tsefs inevitable, and cannot be
very remote
13'Mr James Barbour, candidate for the General
Assembly IT, Orange county, is assoiled from WASH
ington and Richmond from the Telegraph and the
Enquirer! The people of Orange, who have known
Gov Barbour all his life, be oficously instru
ed by anonymous persons, how to vote between him
and his competitor. Can there be- u rudrr Bcivty
offered to the people OF that county, of the most
intelligent in Virginia? Can they not be trusted by
Messrs Green. Kendall and Rtche and their CORES
pondents, to manage their county affairs in their
way? Especially there is county paper, in which
the people of Orange can discuss the qualifications
OF their candidates? We mean not to offer oursef
as an example of proprlety-but when recently, an
ATTACK upon Gov. Barbour in the Reporter sent
u.s. with request To answer it through that paper,
we declined what would have been agreeable task,
OH the ground hat to do would be meddlesome
Interference in what concerned the people of Orange
only. We mention the incident, 10 prove SINGER
lity i'll denouncing the interference of the Telegraph
and Enquirer in county election, as meddng with
what concerns them not, and as insulting towards
the people of Orange, who have always manifested
The capacity to take of themselves.
a. We beg leave to call attention to the ADVERTISE
ment and proposals of Mr.. Carpenter, gentleman
of fine intelligence whose eminent success in the
Northern cities ought to give him passport to the
confidence of this community.
a. The Northern paper mail due on Wednes day.
did not arrve-not even the Fredericksburg papers.
Yesterday, received the Wednesdays mail, but
did not receive the Thursday's-so that we day
in arrear The failure at time of such interest, is
vexctious to the last degree We lay blame TO
Wpe[o, because we Know not where TO lay ll-Dut as

Barry will see to this matter.
