FOR TIE ENQUIRER.
The Proclamation has caused much conversation i'm Vir.
ginia. Within the last three days | have learned the fol-
lowing facts:
n Senator of the United States was in this CITY in the
course o. the week. He stated there were certain Ex-
pressi"nS in the Proclamation, which struck his mini ms
very excepionablc; and that he went TO the President and
told him so-that The President then showed him the orici.
nal DRAFT OF the Proclamation in his own hand W ritinp.
which contained some OF the faults about the origin Of the
Constitution, which the Senator aforesaid had pointed on,
but told him that in drawing out the Proclamation from
his original sketch, the passages complained of had been
introduced, and that he r~epudiated the construction which
had been put upon them.
IL is said, that in a conversation the other day at Wash.
lngion with a NIrginian, the President asked" w hat
the Virginians wished him to do!- Had he not, as Presi.
dent, perilled more in carrying out the State Rights doc
'rines winch ne held in common with them, than any other
man would have done? Had he no, vetoed tie wasteful
system OF Internal improvements? the Bank of the United
States' Had he not exerted himself TO reduce the tariff
to the economical wants OF the government. When parts
oil his Proclamation had been found fault with, as going
against the doctrines he had uniformly protested, had he
not authorized to state, that those parts had been entirely
misconstrued." n

that several political movements Of late, have been

MAINE.-The HalIowelI Advocate of the 2d instant
contains what follows:
The following message was sent to the Legislature nv
the Governor yesterday. This business has taken a most
extraordinary course, and we shall have some remarks TO
make upon the subject when we get time and room:
Io me Senate and House of Representatives:
The order requesting the Governor "to communicate IN
The Legislature the Report OF the Commissioners ON the
Northeastern Boundary, appointed under the Resolve of
March 3, 1882, II the same has been received bv him.
with any other documents which he may deem proper.
and as soon as the same can, in his judgment, be commu.
nicated consistently with the public good" has received
the attentive consideration Of this department., which has
come TO the conclusion, that the publication of these docu.
ments, at this time, could fail to be p~reiudicial to the sue
cesso OF the negotiation instituted by The President with
Great Britain in relation 10 the Northeastern Boundary;
and IN that view, could not be consistent with the public
good, but adverse to The interests of the State, aud of the
United States. The Legislature and people can be assured
mat no definite action will be, or can be had, in relation
to the disputed territory, on the part of this State, till the
whole subject shall receive the consideration ofthe Lcpis-
lature, to whom, at the proper time, the documents will
be communicated, and by whom such direction will be
given to this important concern as shall best comport with
the rights, honor, and interest OF the State.

For TIE ENQUIRER.
Ills reported that John Robertson, Esq. has been in.
duced to offer himself as a candidate for this district in
the next Congress; and that he has gone toNew Kent
Court Tor the purpose of making his bow before the people
The contest will then he between him and our late Re.
preventative. Andrew Stevenson, Esq.
Although | have no doubt of Mr.. Steyenson's trium-
pbant success, yet the occasion requires that the points
should be stated, on which the issue will be made TN.
MIR. Stevenson has been an uniform friend of the
present administration-Mr Robertson never has been.
Mr.. Stevenson preferred General jackson to Mr.. Adj
ans or MIR. Clay-Mr. II. has preferred either of them TO
him, with all their federal opinions.
MIR. 5. has hailed with delight every measure Of Gen.
Jackson, which went in favor of the rights Of the States
Mr.. X. received every such measure, whether about the
maysyiHe Road, the Bank of the United States, &c. &c.
with GOODNESS, or with a sheer.
The most that can be said against MI. s. is, that he is Oh.
posed TO secession, as a constitutional measure Whereas
Mr.. r.. is a NnlIiher.
Mr.. X. will be supported by all the Calhoun men, and
most OF the Clay men-and Mr.. s. will have the support
OF some oil the Clay men, and Of the great body of the
people, who voted for Jackson in November last.
Mr.. Stevenson is not brought out as has been as
serted in the Wing, by a Richmond Party, because
he has been an old servant Of the District; aud no such
party exists IN this city, as this same Wing formerly
admitted.-But, Mr.. Robertson is brought out BY the ex.
ertions OF The same Wing, and a few persons who have made
1t the organ oil their wishes-an organ which has support
ed the Tariff, and yet ~vindicates it-which has ridiculeJ
NuIification and now substantially supports (which
is devoted to Mr.. Clay and all his federal heresies-vet
now elamors for State Rights, and urges Mr. r. upon
the District.
