% The views presented to the people

of this congressional district by Mr..
Cooke, are certainly altogether unex-
eeptionabe. His address will be found
on our lat page to-day, and it is with
great pleasure we call the attention of
our readers to it. He is now fully before
the people as candidate for a seat in the
next Congress as is, also, his worthy
competitor Col. LUCAS.
We understand that Mr.. Cooke in.
tends addressing the voters Of this coun-
", on the first day of March Court,
Monday the 23rd inst.
GY Our readers will observe from an
anuunciation in to-day's paper, that we
were misinformed relative to Mr.. MuL-
Inns being candidate for Congress.
We wereled into the error by the person
who authorized US to announce him. Mr..
Mullin is candidate for reelection to
the state Legislature.

c. The Editors fthe Richmond
Compiler, Messrs. GALLAHER g. WAS
KER, have rescinded their first resolution
relative to the manner of conducting their
paper for the Country--which, we really
believe is quite judicious step. They
purpose making it in part political pa.
per. The Editors observe--"The SEMI
WEEKLY COMPILER will assume a po-
litical cast, and support the principles for
which the Opposition party have been
contending for some years"
"Tbe Presidential Question is unavoid.
ably mingled with, and controls, all 9TH
er subjects; and as the public always
watch with intense interest every move
ment connected with that subject, the
Editors will endeavor to keep their rea.
ders fully informed as to its progress and
true condition. They are against any
committal of the Opposition, now or here
after, to either of the candidates before
the public from the ranks of the present
Administration. The party which has
for years been struggling against Exec.
utiye usurpation, cannot, with eonsisten.
cy, support any man who has sustained
the high-handed measures of the last six
years. Upon matter of principle, no
compromise ought to be made, because
truth and justice are immutable.
GAS to alternatives it is time enough
to talk of adopting one or the other of
them when no better course is left to US.
In the mean while, under the banner of
the Constitution and Laws, let us main
tain our ground undsmayed, and trust to
the efficacy of the noble sentiment, that
truth is mighty, and must prevail
"For the principles of Virginia, and the
integrity OF Constitutional Union. we
will exert our humble abilities, invoking
the party with which we have had tha
honor heretofore to act, to stand firm,
and fear no danger. Our liberties have
been perrilled. but they are not yet gone;
and SO long as phalanx of enlightened
and devoted men, such as have stemmed
the torrent of usurpation and misruIe
during the late eventual struggles, can be
found in our national councils, our coun.
try need never despair"
