Mr.. Speaker Stevenson's District, Richmond
City, Henrico, Hanover, Charles City, and New
Kent, have one and all declared against the Ad-
ministration, and there is now not more dec-
ded opposition Congressional District in the
State. What will those now say who daily and
hourly illuminate the thunders ofPowER on the
unfortunate heads Of Messrs Sprague, Ewing,
and others? These Senators do not obey the
party instructions of party majority in par
ty Legislature on party question. Mr.. Speak
er Stevenson does not, and will not, obey the
voice of the SOVEREIGN PEOPLE. For ourselves,
we acknowledge, in its proper and legitimate
sense and exercise, the right ofinstruction. We
are not mere Republicans I'm aoord, but love to
see devotion to liberty exhibited in acts. Hence,
we Think if ever there was case which de-
manded prompt obedience on the part Of the
Representative, it is found in that ofMr Speak
er Stevenson's. he is content with his present
situation and future hopes, however, what

ly endcavoring TO practice deception upon its rea-
ders, to hide the modification which il feels at the
utter humiliation OF all its former guilty hopes.
The Commercial knows perfectly well that there
has been no silver shipped from this country to Eng.
land for the purchase of gold, for any other pur-
pose, for long time past. 1t also knows equally
well, that the present legal difference between gold
and silver in this country, is but fraction greater
tlieu the mercantile difference in England and all
other commercial countries with which we have
