3. soring term of the Circuit Superior Court
10 and Chancery for Berkeley County, com
-. IN this place on Tuesday next, the 18th

r..,.,i,t COUNTY, Election election for
h.,s If the House Of Delegates took place
Monday last in Frederick. The election 1t
allowed. did not turn on party politics, the
,le beinp chiefly excited by the repeated at
npts made during the past winter to divide the
.,v and throwing their votes, as may be pre-
,.d with regard to that subject. But the re-
"a not the less encouraging, as Messrs. Bar
Smith and Gibson, the old members, are re-
.,ed The two first named are anti-Jackson,
:; Riyes. anti. collar, Sc. This is the first
ave on the chess board-and it is propitious.
Morgan County.-The candidates in this
cntv are Cromwell Orrick and John Sherard.

fsOh' the experiment has doubtless been ,es,oa
Efficiently to shew the jackson party that the
Fosperi,y Of the country is not subject upon
Flich political empyrics may wantonly try the
6cacy Of their nostrums. We trust the same
onViction of weakness may be felt in other
quarters, where the delusions of party have so
long enabled the followers of General Jackson to
Olcraie in him those progressive acts of usurpa
ion, which have brought the best interests of the
santry to the verge of ruin.
Hampshire Co,nty.-The Romney Intellipen-
pr announces William Vance, Thomas Carska-
bon, Thomas Sloane, and Col William Nixon,
candidates for the House of Delegates. The
wo first of these gentlemen are arranged on the
fde OF the constitution, against Executive usur
alton. The two last named are the supporters
u power versus the constitution. The Intelli-
Eencer entertains no doubt of the election of
Messrs. Vance and Carskadon. Mr. Sloane was
4 member of the last Legislature, and voted uni
iormiy to shield General Jackson from the Just
ensure Of which the Legislature deemed him
worthy.
Boteto,1t County .-Great exertions are max
Ing In this county to sustain the Executive, and
/ it's probable they will be successful. Messrs.
70 W. Wilson and Fleming b. Miller, are the
Isckson candidates for the House of Delegates
As we see no other paper but the Fincastle Pa
not, which is devoted TO the administration, we
Snot know whether they are opposed by men of
onsrary sentiments. Mr.. Wilson served in the
Ast Legislature, as all who have read the pro-
|eedings must be aware, for he was distinguished
ar uttering more words and fewer ideas than any
sher member. The late Senator, Mr. Beale,
'ho voted for the censure of tho Executive, is
/ opposed by Mr.. J. II. Anderson, formerly mem
N of the House of Delegates.
Rockingham County. Norman,
Waterman and Cline, are the candidates for the
|e@nty. The two former served the past SEES
EsHn. Mr.. Norman is thorough Jackson man
MIR. Waterman the reverse. Mr.. Cline is
Eeonsdered to have leaning to notification or
Eecession-or both. In the Harrisonburg Regis
FGf the test question is put to Mcssrs Norman
Fna Waterman, "will you, if elected, vote for
FAe restoration of VIM. C. Rives to the Senate
Y the United States, in preference to Benz w.
leigh, Or any individual?'' To this question Mr..
Norman will, as in duty bound, answer, yes
Fnd Mr. Waterman, who is man of sterling in
iesrty, sound principles and unflinching frmness,
wall, with equal promptness, answer, no.
a Jackson Iest-We perceive in many of
'he papers devoted to the administration thro'-
u' the State, that one of the principal articles of
'al'h by which candidates orthodoxy is tested,
+ whether, if elected, he will vote for Mr.
i''es as Senator of the United States next win
''r' strenuous efforts are making TO hold this
Gentleman up as a "mGrtyr to republican princi-
YES martyr, indeed! He is just as much a
martyr TO the republican doctrine that the repre-
sentative is bound to obey the instructions of his
nshtnents, as st, Stephen would have been, had
nc escaped from the missiles of the multitude
'li saved himself by flight. 1t is particularly
u'liealt to establish Mr. Rives claim to the crown
" nartyrdom, after the declaration, made in al
aace by the Richmond Enquirer, that MIR. Rives
nouid obey the instructions of the Legislature
"hen the resolutions of instruction had Just been
''op'ed by the General Assembly, that Journal
our own parts, we hope that
Vr Senator will retain his seat and obey his in
''Oetions. In such profound respect do we hold
me right of instruction, that we trust Mr. II. will
'lllow IT out. Let Southland, Frelinghuysen and
living, fly in the face of their Legislatures; but
Dc ii our duty to practice upon the republican
Principles which we profess to preach" From
'as it viii be seen, that according TO the exposi-
hon Of the Richmond Enquirer, (prctty good
authority with the Jackson party, we should
'lPpose,) the true republican course for MIR.
