JUICE BARBouR-We hear that some friends
of the administration are chuckllng little, oe-
cause the committee of invitation tor the w M
dinner at this place, have not published their
correspondence with Judge Barbour. However
much the steady and devoted friends of Judge
b. NAV have regretted that he should seem to
hesitate or falter at such crisis as the present,
we knOp that this correspondence has oeen
withheld from no disposition to do injustice 10
him. or to conceal his sentiments, but on the
contrary, from motives of the utmost dellcacy
and regard.
MIR. Richie ventured to hint some time since
that il was attempted by the Wings in this quar-
ter to claim Jud ge B. improperly. II he were
apprised Of all the circumstances, or capable
of estimating the motives of honorable men,
whom he habitualIy calumniateS he would ma
no cause for eXutation in this instance Inc
Wings are not accustomed TO claim any man,
who will not freely take up his cross win them,
or who is content in these times to occupy an
eoivocal position. They have taken their
stand on the last ramparts Of the constitution,
and they abide the result of a fair, open and no.
norabe struggle for the liberties of their coun-
Notwithstanding alike to be coaXed by the blan-
dishments, or awed by the denunclatlons, OF
power. They resort TO no trick or chlcanery-
no clandestine subscription papers-no back
billings oUnisrepresentations. Can Mr.. hit
chic saw as much for his party or himself!
By the by this gentleman had better =" look
to his bond'-the deed Of bargain and sale, eX-
ecuted by him and endorsed by certain dlgnl'a-
ries conveying Virginia to Martin Van Buren,
it will be forfeited, and he will find the mercy
Of the Kinierhooker not greatly exceeding that
Of the obdurate Shylock-" Let him look to
his bond"-hs hollow professions of admiration
for Judge B. will never cheat Virginia into the
support of AM V. B." The people understand
the game-and Judge B. himself will duly APP
preciate the motives of the man who lately de-
famed him. If We do not greatly mistake his
character, and have not been misnformed, ne
will not be the "locum tenens" ct this tool OF
faction. who has long since ceased TO be ruled
by conscience" and
"Who counts his honors from the stains he
bears"
He will not be unmndful OF the limited SIAN
ders and the whispered lies" with which the
columns of the Enquirer teemed some two
wears since when devoted little band was
Struggling for his advancement against the ma
chinations of the Baltimore ConventionistS,"
and "caucus republicans" and remembering,
he will likely be disposed, as John Randolph
was. to entreat this modern Mr.. Surface, mot
to undertake his defence"

CONSTRUCTIONS" IN VIRGINIA.
From The Petersburg Mieliigencer

We continue to receive the most gratifying
assurances that the attempt which has recently
been made to reverse the recorded opinion OF
the people as expressed at the April elections,
will most asSuredly fail. In every instance
where the subject has been brought before
public meeting, the instructonists have been de-
feated In addition to the counties heretofore
noticed i'm which this effort has proved aborve,
we give below an account OF meeting he'd IN
Frederick The good sense of the people is
exhibiting itself wherever they are permitted
to receive the lights of a public discussion Of the
question at issue, and II the opponents of Mr.
Leigh would consent to resort to that mode of
ascertaining the popular will in the contested
counties the friends of that gentleman would
feel the utmost confidence in the result. On
one point, however they rest perfectly satisfied,
that if by any possibility, the instructionists
should succeed in every county where the at
tempt has been made, the opposition have 1t in
their power to control the votes OF at least an
equal number Of counties represented by Admin
istratoH Delegates.
We wish not TO be misunderstood on this SUBJ
ject We recognize the principle of instruction.
We agree with the sentiment expressed in the
following article from the Abingdon Statesman
that il is " strictly democratic and in perfect uni
son with the theory of our institutions" But
we do object to the means employed to sustain
the present appeal to that inestimable privilege,
ana we WOulu look upon It's SuCCeSS dS pregnant
with danger to the best interests OF the country,
by affording opportunities for tampering with
the people, by proonging the settlement of every
important question: by undermining the public
confidence in the recorded opinions Of the
constituencies" and by lessening the value, the
in D ,rtance and the interest ofevery election.
1t is not our purpose to 20 into a further dis
cussion OF this question at present. 1t is our
object to present our readers with evidence that
Al. .t,,kt<~ iron Lun
tive Encroachments have nothing to fear from

ing the interesting process of imitation.
The general desire which has been express
ed, that Mr. Ash should make second ascen-
sion. and the unmingled qualification derived
from his first aerial flight, which was made at
great pecuniary sacrifice TO HIMSELF induce the
Committees to believe that Mr. A>l's prompt
compliance with the wishes Of the citizens ofthe
District will be rewarded with such support
from them. as will amply defray any expense
which he may incur in yielding 10 their request.

content with being entertained at the expense of
