V;olent Assaak.---Yesterday, Alex
ander Hopkin, printer, was. examined
before the Police Court, on a charge
of having violently assaulted and beat
en- his wife on the head with f.t-iron,
on Wednesday night, and was com
.mitted for trial, being unable to give
5000 bonds, required by the Court.
1t appears that Hopkins, who is n
genteel locking man, married young
woman Of very respectable family at
tho North End. fur or five years since;
that he treated her i'll, and that, by
the wish Of her father, both went to
live at his house, last summer, her
father remarking that he would find
out which was to blame.
About the first of the week, MS it is
said, he asked Mrs. Hopkins to take
sleigh ride with him, which she re-
fused to do, alleging that the terms on
which they stood would render such
ain act worry improper. He afterwards
heard that she was going with another
party on Thursday, which probably

and indeed having some time since
taught it to cliildren.) On her-return,
while taking the kitchen door key from

who waited upon her he need not stop,

not afraid. Soon after she had enter

by the throat with one hand. and with

blows one of her hands was split open,
being held together only by the inside
skin, and the nails were torn com

MR.. CALHOUN's SENTIMENTS.
CONTINUED.

But it is useless to multiply arguments. Were
il possible, that reason could settle question
where the passions and interests of men are con-
cerned, this point would have been long since set
tied forever, by the State of Virginia. The re-
mort of her Legislature, to which have already
referred, has really, in my opinion, placed it be-
ysnd controversy. Speaking in reference to this
subject it saws, - it has been objected" Ito the
right of State to interpose for the protection of
her reserved rights that the Judicial authority
is to be regarded, as the sole expositor OF the
Constitution; on this objection it might be Observ-
ved FIRST, that there may be instances OF usurped
mowers, which the forms OF the Constitution could
never draw within the control Of the judicial De-
partment; secondly, that if the decision Of the Ju
dietary be raised above the sovereign parties to
the Constitution, thedecisions OF the other depart
ments, not carried by the forms OF the COnstitu-
ton before the Judiciary, must be equally author
itative, and final with the decision OF that Depart
ment. But the proper answer to the objection IS
that the resolution Of the General Assembly re-
latss to those great and extraordinary cases, in
which all Of the forms Of the Constitution may
prove Intellectual against infractons dangerous to
the essential rights of the parties toit The res
olution supposes. that dangerous powers not dele
gated, may not only be usurped and executed BY
the other Departments, but that the Judicial De-
partment may also exercise, or sanction danger
Gus powers beyond the grant of the Constitution,
and consequently that the ultimate right of the
parties to the Constitution to judge whether the
compact has been dangerously violated. must ex-
tend TO violations by one delegated authority, as
we'll as BY another-6y the Judiciary, as we'll as BY
the Executive or Legislative"
Aeaipst these conclusive arguments, as they
sesm to me, it IS objected, that one party has

An article in the Scotsman quotes the cases of
Walpole, North, Chatham, Burke, Pitt, Canning,
Huskisson, and Peel, to show the corrupting in.
6uence of the British Government upon the re.
putation of the great Statesmen of that country.
With the exception Of the Marquis of Rocking
ham. says the Scotsman. no man Of talent has
touched office for century past without contract
ing moral stain. The whole article is interest
ing aud instructive, and gives rise to more reAec-
tons than we have room or leisure at present to
present:
What do impartial men say, or what will i'm.
partial posterity say, Of Edmund Burke? That
his real sentiments are to be discovered in the
speeches and acts of his early life-in those DAYS
when he and Fox wept over the defeats of Wash.
ington as the champion Of human liberty; and
that when broken down in his circumstances, and
in despair of obtaining power, he took advantage
Of the excuses of the French Revolution, to af.
ford him pretext Tor renouncing opinions which
stood in the way Of his interest and ambition. He
abandoned his principles, obtained pension, and
became the oracle of the Ministers, and the idol
of the Aristocracy. We venerate the genius and
the patriotic labors of Burke; but this we believe
to be the undissuised truth.
William Pitt commenced his career as an ar
dent refOrmer. Ambition was the master feel
ing Of his soul; and he soon found that with such
opinions he either could not be Minister, or
that his power could never be secure. The French
Revolution, with its wild anarchy, came oppor.
timely to cover the desertion Of early principle,
which was already 10 effect committed. He was

COMMUNICATES.

To the Editor Of the alexandria Gazette
Sir: To my establishment find the Genius Of
Liberty of this morning announces the fact that
the election for Congress here turned upon
county question. Now, will not say it is in
tentialy uttered; but the declaration Of this Edi
Tor is totally untrue. county question! Why
the Editor himself, who says he is opposed to the
Administration, not only voted for Col. Gibson,
but has, for months, been endeavoring to prepOs-
sess the public mind against Colonel Mercer
A great many persons voted for Colonel Mercer
upon the ground Of his opposition to Jackson'sm,
although strongly and personally opposed to hun;
and not few refused to vote at all, because Of
their aversion to Colonel Mercer. Mr.. Cald-
we'll, one Of the candidates elected, an anti-Jack
son-man, refused, from personal considerations,
to vote for MIR. Mercer. Some twenty persons
IN Leesbarg did not vote; amongst them now
remember a lawyer Of standing and two OF the
principal physicians, and three merchants. In
word, the entire subject teens with proofs that
the assertion of Mr.. Sewer is wholly unfounded.
The vote in Loudoun was a vote against General
Jackson on priaciple; and, bot for personal aver
sion to COL Mercer on the part of many indivi.
,luals, it would have been considerably larger.
We are, at this juncture, not willing to be mis-
represented; and you will contribute to the vim
dication of the political character Of the county,
by publishing this contradiction Of Mr. Sewer.
TRUTH.
Leesd,rg, 18th .4ugust, 1881.
~ Look at the polls. McIihany and Cor

votes than Mr.. Mercer.
