10 lHE PEOPLE OF EASTERN VIRGINIA.
The extraordinary efforts which have BEEN and are
now being made, TO your feelings and excite YOUR
prejudces, against the whole of the Western and por
ton of the Eastern members Of the House of Delegates
and the gross injustice which has been done TO that body
generally, and especially TO the members OF the Select
Committee upon the colored population of the State bv
few individuals, who have arrogaed TO themselves the
right OF pronouncinga sentence of condemnation upon the
representatives OF the whole people of the Commonwealth
will, sure, be received a sufficient apology for INV
presuming to address you in their defence am deeply
sensible OF the small claim, which humble individual
like myself, unknown TO you, and unknown TO fame has
upon your attention, and the great disadvantage under
which he must labor, in entering the lists with individuals
whose high reputation has inspired them with so much
condolences that they presume not only TO direct con-
troll and condemn the representatives Of State and TO
restrict the liberty Of the press but dictate to the people
themselves, what they TO read and what they are not
to read, and TO utter DEGREES in their name without hay
ing deigued to consult them. But such is the reliance
have upon your known generosity, magnannity lberai-
ty and justice, that dare address YOU and ask
that you will not permit sentence Of condemnation to be
pronounced IN your name, upon any man, of men,
without having At least heard and considered the charges
against them, and demandcde proof by which the charges
are To be sustained. And Them am sure you prize
TOO highly your privileges irecmen to permit any man
70 usurp the right Of speaking for YOU thank God that
have never yet had reason TO believe that any portion of
The white people Of Virginia were such degraded slaves as

TIIE DERArE mn TuE srNATE Il

We are so anxious to close this Debate, that we
shall devote the greater part of two next papers
to its publicaton.-Nr. Forsyih's last speech in
ply to MIR. Miller, published i'm the Globe of
Monday. 1t does very great credit TO the Orator.
IL is manly, bold, eloqucnt-and Just. 1t scathes
like stroke of lightning, the speaker from s. c.
lie denies the assertion of that person, that MIR. "
Is had attempted to foment the quarrel between the
two first officers of the Government (Messrs Jack
son and Calhoun and he challenges the evidence
OF any such charge-and afirms upon the highest
authority (no doubt of the President hin,self) that
Mr. V. BIS course i'm that matter was highly disn-
tcrested and honopble.-lIe denies that Mr. " b.
had any agency in the establishment of the "Globe"
and refers with great naiuete other newspapers
which bad been established under other auspices i'm
the City of Washington. His short dialogue with
the Chair upon those points is truly dramatic.
".No,c's the Day-and .No,cs The How.'-Ne are
happy to hear from SO many quarters of the House
of Delegates, that the scheme of Joint Stock Com
pany tor accomplishing the Western Communica-
non rs likely to succeed. Several of the gentlemen
who have been opposed to considerable loan are
SAID to be III favor of this scheme-and we could
name, If 1t were parliamentary, one of the ablest
and strongest members of the House, who opposed
the loan-bill of the last winter, who has hitherto
been apprchensivc that the State would be carried
too far into tho system of Internal Improvement but
who has declared his determination to support this
measure. We pledge to this gentleman the right
hand of fellowship.-We should be disposed TO do
even more, than this scheme proposes-but we shall
he content to abide by the measure. The State will
take 2-5ths OF this great worl-contrbutng her
present improvements towards her subscription-If
liberal charter be granted we trust that the private
capital may be raised. We hail this new and gene
rous attempt for the redemption ofthe Old Dominion
with great satisfaction After the Storm which we
have witnessed here for more than five weeks-after
the gloomy prognostcs which had poured from all
quarters of the lIouse-"that nothing would be done
for the cause of Internal Improvement-th it is
utterly hopeless to expect it," &C. &c.-we confess
nlp with dol IT,, -.
cess, the East and the West will be bound together
by new ties of II common intcrest-he advantages
which Nature has given us, will be employed for
the benefit and the honor of the whole Common
wealth-Nrglna will cease TO be out-sripped in
the career of Internal Improvement May the good

CHOLERA.

In Richmond, there were 30 intermemts during
the 2i hours ending today at l2 O'Clock, in IL,
grave yard near the poor-house, and probably 2 o
others elsewhere. The weather has been very
uniavorabc for some days past. To-day it is cool
clear and dry, aud coal fires now burning in
every house, which trust will have sautary
effect. We have heard of less today
than for some days past
The Petersburg papers do not report progress.
but VIC learn privately that the Cholera has decided
fy increased there.
The Lynchburg Virginian of yesterday makes no
mention OF the disease having broken out there as
was reported 1t is understood TO be AT several in
termcdiate villages, viz: Jefferson in Powhatun,
and CaEtersvile in Cumberland. There have been
everal cases along the canal. There have b9en
also cases in the body of Henrico County, several
miles from Richmond. Too surely fear, it vii.

and on the negHocs espcc rally, prove a Bosom OF
destruction.

THE CAuCus ELECTORS

enquiry, have come n-viz: Col. Blackwell's OF

Mr. Austin's of Backing CHAM, and Maj. Thos NJ.
Nelson's of Mecklenburg
Messrs. Blackwell Gibson and Austin, have re-
piled to the same effect with Messrs Dade, Loya!l
and the majority They consider themselves clo-
thed with ample dscreton as bound to execute
the vows of the Caucus; as not bound by the de.
clared preference of the People, and they of
mean to vote for Mr. Van Buren,
Major Nelson holds another language, and like
Messrs. Mason and Martin, will feel himself in
structed by the vote of the People lie euen seems
TO think that the People may vote as dscreetly as
the Electors Major Nelson is evidently no Van

JACKSON AND BARBOUR.

A correspondent enquiries if we can tell him
any thing of the movements of the Jackson and
Barbour Central Committee at Charlottesville
III there was meeting as requested by the Chair
man, Mr. Gilmer, and what the result of it7
In reply, we have 10 inform him that we have
heard nothing OF the subject. Mr. Gimer and the
Central Committee presume, feel themselves
much i'm the predicament of a rat in a trap-quite
as unexpectedly caught, and equally unknowing
how to escape. They naturally coniided in the
Republ canism of Electors nominated by The Re-
publican Party they had never dreamed that if the
People declared for Barbour, the Electors would
persist in voting for Van Buren; in this per-
snasion, they pos poned the enquiry until a
few weeks before the election, and She answer
them PROSTATE and powsrless What cawthev now
do? Start an Independent ticket for Jackson and
Barbour?A 1t is too late to attempt new ofga-
nizaton. Vote for the Caucus Van Buren, ticker
Will they do that? Nous Verans 1t is now a
question: of feeling as well of principle They
far too pure, too celestial to unite with the on
poEons of Jackson, and we rather suppose thew
will stay at home, and survey the trouble from
the loop holes of retreat
Much as we abhor the the principle con
tended for by the Electors, we can feel little
regret at the failure of the Charlottesville Con
vention scheme. II was rickctty affair from
the first, deficient in character and spirit, tenn

opportunity.
From the Courier d. Enquirer of Saturday.
uJ We want words to convey to our distant
readers the faintest idea OF the utter dismay and

ly under the weather without a shadow of hope
to cheer them. On that morning we replied TO
the tasehoods of the Standard, and offered bet
of THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS that GRAN
GER will be elected Governor in November.
This was offered and in type before the re-
suit of the Albany election known, and
we are now authorized by friends to
increase 1t To Ten THOUSAND DOLLARS.
We mention this to let friends in other states
know, that here there is not solitary doubt of
New York going against ANDREW Jackson, nor
OF the certainty OF his defeat if friends in Penn
syVah'a or ONO, are true to the cause of the con-
stituiion. Either of these states voting against
Jackson insures his defeat.
We will also mention another sign that we
yesterday heard gentleman effer three of the
leading betting Jackson-men $500 to $425 that
Granger will he elected Governor, and II
separate bet $500 that Cen. Jackson will
not receive the electoral vote of Ken
lucky 5000 that he will not receive the cleo
toral vote of Pennsylvania, and 5000 that he will
not receive the electoral vote of New York. A
few days previous the same gentleman offered 5000

and New York! We simply refer to these matters
70 show that our opponents do not calculate upon
success.

cal friends have at length moved in Norfolk, where
we understand there haze been many changes
