from some unknown motive had long INDUCED a

extent that far surpassed her expectations, and
led to result as dlsagreeable and unpleasant,
as it was in all probability unforeseen. tap.
pears that plan after plan was devised to CRAFTY
this inclination to view the audience and stage,
from the topmost point Of access, but from the
seeming impracticability Of carrying them into
operation, almost as rapidly abandoned as thew

when the lady resolved upon the accomplishment
Of her object by the following expedlent She

COMMUNICATED. /

Mr.. SnoTien-ln passing along different parts
OF the county, haze met with so'ne singular OBJ
jections TO our highly gifted and indetatgable
late Representative in Congress. Some say he
has been there long enough-itis time some other
person should D. sent in his place. On hearing
this objection, inquired, Is this your only OBJ.
jections The reply mas been, None other. NV
answer was, II this is good reason in MIR. Mer.
GERS case, it has equal force in others. Then,
say | Ia these objectors, some OF whom are Jus.
tees st the Peace, The County Court Of Fairfax
appointed, at least twenty wears ago, a very In-
telligent and attentive member of the bar 10 pro-
seeute Tor the Commonwealth 10 their Court. He
is an othcer 1.-THE pleasure OF the Court. He has.
however, held his office ever since his appoint
ment to the present time. He is capable, aud
has been digent in the discharge Of the duties of
the ofhce; but has been sometimes in error IN his
opinions and arguments which he advanc ed to the
Court aud Jury, though honest and sincere in
those opinions. l then inquired Of these object.
ors, Would it be proper in the County Court to
discontinue this intelligent and diligent LAWYER,
because he has been 40 long in office, and give
the Office to another who may wish it, and who
may or may not be equal to hun? They replied,
1t would not BE- right to do so. then inquired,
Why would it not be as right in the case Of the
Attorney for the Commonwealth as in the case Of
the Member of Congresss Their reply has been,
Because the public good does not require change.
Well. says |, does the public good require a
change Of the Member Of Congresss By this last
inquiry, they seemed puzzled, and then went to
another objection. tn wit: that Mr. Mercer refu-

vote on this subject. The Tariff was pre!ext
to South Carolina for seeking dissolution OF the
Union. The subsequent conduct OF the Conven-
ton Of that State. in multiplying, by their Ordi-
nance, the late law Of Congress. called the Fnrc-

ing Party are seeking for pretext to De dissa'is'
fed with the General Government. Their OBJ
iect is separation from the Union, and they
wish to effect this object without being guilty OF
those acts which would subject the actors in this
effort to prosecution for treason.
+. Its because Mr. Mercer refused to vote for
bill of compromise with these moral traitors, with
out the previous passage Of the Enforcing Bill,
that he is denounced by those who probably think
as he does on this subject but who have not the
same moral firmness to avow their honest opinion
as he did. II Freebooter o. Faayac.
