uF- The Pendteton Messenger, published in the
neighborhood of Mr.. Calhoun, says that gentleman
Will shortly give publicity to his opinions and sen.
lments, on the subject of Notification.
We are glad to hear this. Repeated and earnest
calls, to this effect, have been made upon Mr. Cal
houn. He stands III "a relation TO the People of the
U. States, and in equivocal attitude to that new
light doctrine, which renders explicit disclosure
OF his sentiments matter of but bare respect TO
theni' and of simple justice to himself. We DO not
doubt what his sentiments are; but his warmest
friends must admit, that he has been too polite:
that he has too long, from respect to a dominant
party at homc permitted his name to be associated
WIN their extravagant doctrines, and pernicious
projects There has been no period when his in
huence' directly arrayed against Nullifcation was
not sufficient to stranglc the monster as Henry
Clay IN Kentucky put down the New Court party,
Cousin german of Notification, by his declaration
against 1t. Though late, we hope Mr.. Calhoun will
yet do this service to his country, and establish
through it. his highest claim upon its gratitude.

that 1t will appear to the public in very short

after time, upon Messrs. Blair and Richie, who

COMMENCEMENT.

- COMMUNICATED.
The People of james City County, having been
some days previously invited by public notice to
attend a meeting the subject of the Tariff, as
sembled at thoir Court-Hou in williamsburg OH
monday the 18th of July, 1881. The meeting
took place Immediately after the risinp of Tho
Court. After coming to order, on motion of Col
K, McCandlish, Visitor Of William &, Mary Col
lege, Col. Burwell Bassett also visitor, and tho
Rector of that venerable Institution was called to
take the Chair. Judge James Sempe, Professor
of Law in William & Mary, then rose and address
ed the meeting at soy'e length, and concluded by
reading and proposing FOR adoption, Preamble
and sundry Resolutions, declaratory among other
things, that the Tariff laws unconstitutional.
and that the General Government had no right to
exercise any other powers than those expressly laid
down in the Constitution itself After some dis
cussion, during which proposition was made
that obtained neither aye or n nay, the preamble
and resolutions were adopted by a vote of % in
their favor to against them. OF these twenty
tour individuals however, it should be remarked
eleven were residents of York, Warwick and
Williamsburg, and its suburbs. The names of all
VINO attended were taken down, and would now be
gwen but for the belief that some of them would
regret to their names and votes recorded in
PRINT on the occasion Col Bassett, the Rector
and Messrs. Semple and Dew, two of the
Professors OF William & Mary, together with
two other gentlemen, the last three of whom
were neither present or in town, were then
appointed Delegates to represent James Citv
county, at the Philadelph Anti-Tariff Con-
Ventlon, IN September next. Four of these Dele
gates reside in the City of williamsburg, and the
other in the suburbs thereof; and two of them are
residents of that part of it which is embraced by
DIRK county. The people of James City county
have, IN tacte had little or nothing to do in this
matter-many of them retiring on the adjournment
of the court, and refusing to take part in the pro-
ceedings. 1t is, doubtless, Che entire work of a
few restless, aspiring, and disappointed individuals
some of whom, it will be seen, are officers of our
already too much abused College, acting with the
two-fod view of bringing themselves into public
notice at the present time, and ofproducing some
particular effect on the apProa ching State elections
The meeting resolved, at first, to have its pro-
ceedings published in the Richmond Enquirer only
but upon suggestions being made to the effect.
the Richmond Wing and Norfolk Beacon were also
allowed to have them published.
AN EYEWITNESS
Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1831-07-18

It is minated by Il correspondent of tho Nation
al Intcllircncer that President Jackson has rcceiv-
cd broad hint from some Of his most disntorcstod
friends that he had better retire to the Hermitage
at the close of his present term, without hazardng
the result of struggle to retain his place another
four years. He will then have reached the ago at
which most Of his predecessors voluntarily retired
that Of 66-among them President Jefferson, his
pretended prototype, who declared himself admon-
ished to Withdraw from public life by the approach
ing infirmities Of age. This will serve as an ex-
ceont example; and will no doubt he Il nell f0aRd-
cd reason for voluntary retirement, The Office
holders of course will furiously urge him to hang
on, if possible. The old gentleman re-entered
Washington from his late excursion, on Thursday
last while all the public Offices were closed, and The
city was exhibiting other marks Of mourning for
the demise Of President Monroe.

The Lieut.. Governor and the Teiegrdph.-The
communication of Citizen, places the question of
the consitutionalty of Gov. Floyd's conduct in its
true and just light. If the Governor was under
any obligation to advise with his Council, touching
the important question of disseminating one Jack
son paper and taking another, every man we think.
disposed to judge candidly, will acknowledge that
when the paper was to be paid for, was the proper
time to ask that advice: and if all three Councillors
had advised against paying Duff Green, the Gov
ernor would have had the right still, to order its
payment Such is the Constitution
"a Friend to Truth" (but more a friend to
Peter V. Daniel, Esq in the Enquirer of this
morning, labors to inculpate Gov. Floyd in breach
OF the Constitution, and discourtesy to his Coun-
Gil, in not having first submitted this momentous
affair to their advisement Suppose sFriend to
TRUTH" succeed in this attempt? In what attitude
does he place His Lieutenant Excelloncy? Did
HE advise with the Council be fore HE undertook
to countermand the Telegraph, and recorder the
Baltimore Republican We understand he did
not If mistaken in this information we beg to
be corrected. Every lick therefore that friend
hits Gov Floyd, recoils upon the Lieutenant Gov
ernor, with force more than proportioned tn it's
direct violence The Lieutenant Governor COM
plains that the Governor had not consulted him
and the other Councillors-he complains that by
that omission, the Constitution was violated
he assumes it upon himself, to annul the
Governors act; to countermand the Tele
praph: and recorder the Republican-and this he
does, not only in violation of the respect due from
one functlonary to another, but ,oihout the aduice
OF CouncH thus perpetrating the very breach of the
Constitution which he at the instant, complained of
in Gov. Floyd! Well may the Public have opened
their eyes wide in establishment, at proceeding so
singular and contradictory; and well are they no.o
prepared to say, whether reverence for the Consti
tuition, was at the bottom ofthe affair

u We agreo with the Baltimore Republican in
the hardship of DR.. RandoIphs ease. 1t is hard
to be punished for doing that, which refusing to do
still severer punishment would be inflicted by
public scorn AS the brother i'll law of Mai. Eaton.
~ having 10 religious scruplcs, Dr. Randolph could
not do less than bear his challenge Public sentiment
instead of being propitated by his sacrifice, will
resent the despotsrn of the deed, and compare the
Presidents affected horror of duelling with other
passages of his life.
Kendall and Lewis are surmised TO be the officers
who rendered their designations, but which the
President declined to accant. Lewis is his room
mate and Kendall his scribe; he cant conveniently
spare them.
From the National InteHigenccr of July a.
1--WE find the following in the Baltimore Repub
iican OF yesterday, and copying it cmbodying
the views OF the staunch supporters of the Admin
lstration at the Seat of Government:
"WAsHINaToE July IL.
''Ihe resignation of Dr. RANDoL PHI as Acting
Secretary and as Chief Clerk, took place on Sat.
urday. The infexibility of the President is thus
signally manifested; 1t being well understood that
no personal considerations could have saved the
Doctor from removal account of his unfortu-
nate interference in the affairs of Mi. EATON 1t
must however be considered most severe penalty
which he has paid for the transgress,u. The loss
oil an employment with salary of $4,000 a year,
Is heavy lntlction for having embr aced with too
much zeal and ardor, what few men could under
any circumstances decline,-the cau.Ic of his near
est relatives, wounded he believed in the most
delicate relations. The requiremc hts of Justice
and public order-and the decoruns of station,
however, forbade his remaining in ,ifice,-and he
has anticipated the President by ret ring. Acqui-
esclng IN the necessity, cannot NV old regrettrng
its existence"
We embrace the occasion to say tn ut there were
rumors afoat yesterday and the day eforo of other
intended removals and designations II different De-
hdenty stated, yesterday, that three of the officers
OF Government of the second grade had rendered
their designations to the President, I'D that he had
refused to accept them. We voucla for none of
these rumorS, but give them as we h ear them"
