Men Of Virginia! sec you in what coors YOU are
held up to the people of Pcnns lvenia-to the people
of the Union--to the whole world Are you indie ed
the salves here represented: Are YOU the creatures
of Tho. Richie, be whstlci tn the support OF this
man. or the abandonment of that. at his will and
pleasure? 1t is solemn and undeniablc truth that
thus you are estimated by the Union. Degrading
and Illuminating, as is the truti--gratng it is to
your pride and your Of independencc-t is yet
truth, that throughout this Union, the enquiry IT,

To submit to the yoke of C,rsar, a Cromwell, n
Bonaparlc, or even a Bolivar, is sdvery--but sla
very, where the burden Of The yoke is aeviated by
the intrinsic superiority of him who imposes it--bu
to submit to the yoke of Tho Rtchic, the creature

THE LEGIsLATURE.--The Judiciary Bill is finally
ordered TO n Sd readins-subsantially the same bill
first reported by Mr.. Lcigh-I2 Circuits and 81
Judges-the Judges to be commissioned both as
Judges and Chancellors Thus sha ped the bill will
certainly pass the House. Some resistance is expcc
ted in the Senate.
This bill has principally occupied the House of
Delegates for several days past. In the Senate, the
Stanton Rail Road is yet pending. having been
yesterday, farther discussed by Mcssrs. Cooke and
Harve.
Our country friends begin to look TO US for some
opinion, as to Uien the General assembly ,ciH ad-
journ. Looking at the business before the two
Houses, should be almost inclined 10 saw that
the day Of adjournme was remote now, as on the
first of January. There yesterday, 50 enrross-
ed bills on the table OF the House, and probably
twice that number of bills on their first and second
reading. Business is very Observation-Disclosures,
when the Judiciary Bill is passed, and the Judges
elected, we presume all other business will be cut
short, in the anxiety to adjourn.
BUDoET OF BLUNDEns.--We find the following
in the last Virginia FauquIer) Gazette:
fhe u s. attorney for the district OF Virginia has
the President his esgna'ionsevrra individuals have
been recommended TO the his succcsor-P N
Nicholas had the support Of majority of the members of the
General Assembly and Mr. Green received the majority
delegation in Congress"
Our country friend has missed fire throughout
It is however, labor lost to set one right who is SO
enamorcd of his knowledge. 1t is to be observed
that the Virginia Gazette speaks in tine indicative
mood.
