Charlottesville Advocate on the subject Of ia.
s,rue,ions is worthy ofai,cntioa. We have hith.
erto referred to the poliiicalmsaruyre, ofget,ine
op Instructions TO members Of the House of Del
egaies TO vote against MIR. Leigh as L. $. Sena-
tor. The suggestion made below that counter
instructions from those districts in which the
public sentiment is not represented by their
Senators, should be set on foot, is an excellent
one II seems to us that this district, for instance
should instruct its Senator, il fair expression Of
opinion Of the people could be obtained. MIR.
Smith Of Frederick has put the subject ON the
right footing regards his own county, in his
letter, which viii be found in our paper Of last
week. This senatorial district had las, year in
the House ofDelcgatcs three anti Jack son mem
bers out Of five, yet the Senator voted aud acted
with the Jackson party throughout. This year
tho proportion is the same ia the House o.
Delegates, and il possible, the Senator ought
TO be Instructed to conform TO the sentiments Of
his constituents. This game Of instructions is
surely one at which two parties may play, and
we trust the Wing party will not fail 10 take a
h"hu ih ~ NhsiNfti mau tdh w uiaut
to toe the mark in obedience to the will Of his
constituents.
Instructions, - HIDE and go seek, &c,
II is iarcical TO see the shifts and devices
TO which the jackson folks, or rather their
few interested leaders, have resorted. 10
ban,boozle the people OF Virginia, First.
MIR. Rives resigned his seat in the Senate
(Which was gotten and held. by the way,
under very precarious tenure,l and made
parade OF his appeal from the Legisla
,ure to the people al The polls Sec his let
ter 10 MIR. Richie. Well, the people
came TO the polls. and decided against
MIR. Rives and MIR. Richie What then?
Are they content to abide this result of
the Issue made up by themselves, for their
own special accommodation BY no
means. No sopner is the result of the
Virginia elections known, than these same
guardians ad Item for the people, try TO
pick flaw in the record, and began TO
bubble and "cavilon the ninth part Of
hair" They are now appeaing from the
The people at the polls. TO the people To The
bushes from Cesar sober ~ Cesar drunk
and flattcr themselves that by diht of
perseveiing aud systematic misreprescn-
atiions, by coaXing. threatening s. teasing
the incautious and the credalous, they can
again throw the Commonwealth into con.
fusion. Vain effort! vain hope Virginia
has taken her stand, and she will not be
moved by the appeals, the entreaties, nor
the petty tricks Of all the busy dema
gogucs in her borders. They may, like
the scui,e fish, muddy the waters, as they
founder, aud struggle and die = but their
course is seen, and w,il he desplsed by the
Iuteiligent, the free aud Independent CHI
zens Of our State.
We verify believe that this trick Of cir
culatiDg ciandestlnc subscription papers
among the people, is not adopted With the
| hope OF efiecting any thing In Virginia.
The Insligatois know better than 10 in
duIge such "a hope It is designed to make
show OF strength which they really have
MOTTO delude, and by deludIng TO inilu
ence public opinion semhere 10 affect
the doubtful elections IN Ohio, Pennsyl Iva
MA, New York, &c.
II this attempt 10 reverse the decision
OF The people at the polls, be serious,
however, We would call upon the Wings
OF Virginia TO arise IN their strength, and
TO drive the last nail, aye aud clinch il
too. They can co lt--and II need be,
! they will do it. Let The district Of Plitsyl.
vania, represented by MIR. Dyer, Jack
son man--tcll him what 10 do. Let the
Ohio district tell Mr.. McCoy--the Berke
ley district Mr.. Donaldson-the Northern
Neck MIR. Bayse-tbe Caroline disiiIc
Mr.. Parker-tbe Greenbner district Mr.
Bierne. We are happy to hear that the
Senators from Augusta, aud Bedford
both Of whom voted against Mr.. Leigh
1--WE believe, have frankly declared, like
our Senator, that they will not touch
taste nor handle the administration, or ii,
men, any longer. What we suggest car
be done. Mr.. Dyer represents, or ough
TO represent, Pittsylvania, Henry, ane
Patrick all electing opposition men BY
large lnajortIes las, spring. Mr.. Mccoy
represents Tyler, Ohio, and Brooke, tw,
believe,) and three out Of four opposition
delegates are elected. Indeed II is noioIl
Gus that this election turned on the loca
question about the seat Of justice in Obi
county. blr Donaldson represents HamE
shire, Berkeley, Morgan and Jefferson
sending seven delegates-aDd i've oil thet
opposition men. How IL IS IN the WI
liamsburg district, we do not know, bu
we imagine that Mr.. Page does not mis-
take public sentiment there now. Nj
Flood Of the Campbell district, can b
put right by the people.
AS TO The House Of Delegates, whei
the majority is already, SO large. Ffankl
can settle the account, with MIR. Holland
Roekbridge with ME. MeDoweli-.Bucl
ingham with her two delegates-and Alb
marie, God willing with hers also.
