MIR. LEIGH.

The Richmond Wing, i'll enumeratiug the consc-
quenccs of The late election in Virginia, among 9TH
or results ascribed the decision of the people has
the following
"2dly. TuEy DRIVE Mr.. Leigh FROM THE SEN
ATE \ great gain that \ man, the first in tall
cnt--in reputation and charactcr-a devoted son of
Virginia, truly and 2calously attached To her honor
and doctrnes-morc peculiarly iUgnidn in his o.
pinions, feelings, and prciudces, than any man in
the Statc-steadlast upon every fundamental point
of faith. They drice him forth and pat IN Nm G..
Rires, a partisan Of Nr Ian BwCn, an implicit
coWticr Of dndre0 Jackson, who will never render
vote dispeasing to power; Mr.. lcighs inferior in
every point of comparison" &c. &c. :
The editor OF the Wing then goes on to forcstal
the suggestion that =" triumph Of the right Of in
strUctioa' has been gained the result of the late
election, by saying.
Has Mr.. Leigh denied that rghti From 1912
to this period, who has defended it more ably, re-
cognised it more solcmnly, obcycd it more implicit
lily Not VIM. c. Rives certainly" &c.
This leaves no doubt as to the authority on which
the Editor speaks. Ii is certain that Mr. Leigh has
resolved not to he outdone by Mr.. Rycs who is pro-
nounced Ia be his inferior ia crcry point OF COM
parjSon." Having " from 1912 to this period de-
Tended the right of instruction, more d6iy, reeog-
missed more Soiemnty, obeycd more impGoiHy,''
than any one else, Mr.. Leigh must have made up
his mind to give the proof of declarations which so
cmphatically challenge comparison of his course
in relation to the right of instruction, with that OF
Mr.. Rives.
Although we had supposed that Mr.. Leigh, and
his brother wings of the Senate had now made COM
mon against the right of instruction in dcs-
pite of all former professions we are gratcd to
acknowledge our mistake in regard TO Mr.. Leigh.
As Virginian, we feel some pride in Virginia char

National Character.-Some travellers, says the

WESTERN POETRY.

In looking over the columns of the " Michigan
Sentinel" at Monroe in that Territory, few days
since, we were struck with the perfection to which
the business of making poetry Is carried in that new
ly settled region. The bard in the Sentinel, who
modcstIy ,whhods his name, appears keeper o
the "Varieiy Store, Monroe, Michigan" After a
very appropriate introduction, he thus proceeds to
his things vcndiblc:-
"Gunpowder, tea, and soap in bars,
Sweatneats and country made cigars
Candes both dipped and from the mould
Wines pure from Lisbon, sound and old
Sulphur and other kinds of spice,
And traps to invegIo rats and nice"
Connecticut and Buxport slad
Glass, very cheap, both good and bad
Smokd hcrrings, not the very neatest,
Which I'm prepared to sell The cheapest
Lamp oil and ndbrn'stone cayendish,
As good asany one could wish"
Sweet oranges arrived from Seville,
And lemons too, as the ID
Ralsins bunch ofwhich surpasses
All other aisins and molassos
From New Orleans and far superior
To any here in his Interior"
In quecn's-ware, cloves, birthstone and mace
stand unrva'd in the place;
Fish sounds and tongues, delicious catable,
And cups and saucers for the teatable'
N d The other stores qutea mockery
Compared to ours IN glass and crockery.'

Bcdu'y.-Let me see female possessing tho
beauty of meek aud modest deporlment-of an
eve that bespeaks intelligence aud purity within
of the lips that speak no gnle-et me see in her,
kind and benevolent disposition-a heart that
synpathise with distress,-and will never ask for
the beauty that dwells in ruby lips or flowing
tresses,' or snowy hands, or the forty other ct
ceteras upon which our poets have harped for So
many ages. These fade, when touched by the hand
of Time. but those enduring qualities of the
heart shall ouiye the reign of Time and grow bright
