THE SURPLUS REVENUE.

One of the most important duties that will de-
volve the Legislature, which meets to-day
will be the disposition of the portion of the Sur
plus Revenue which will fall TO the share of Vir-
gna--nnless indeed, that body should, as the
Legislature of Tennessee has done, mako tenn
porary investment of it, until the next winter,
(when The whole of it will have been receNcd) By
loaning it to the Banks at an interest OF per
cent. In previous paper we adverted; to various
proiets that had been suggested, since which
time another proposition has been thrown oai, by
the" Warren;on (Fauquer) Register which is
somewhat novel in its character. 1t IS, 10 divide
the fund among the various counties of the Com.
monweah, " according to their weatl, and popu-
latlsn." The rule of appropriation, az here laid
down, is somewhat indefinite; but, even if it were
perfect and unobjcctionable in itself, we conceive
that the proposition is utterly at war with sound
policy and the permanent advantage. of the State.
Divided among the counties, il might, indeed, re
levc the people of their eoua,y levies-mght
keep the ncighborhood roads in repair, (which we
confess is very laudabIc object, but which il IS
perfectly within the competency of every county
now to do without extraneous aid bridge few
creeks, preparatory to the annual treShets which
sweep ema"ay-and confer other local benefits,
after the six-penny fashion. Bot such magnlfr
cent sum should not be thus FILTERED away on lit
tic neighborhood improve ments, and so scatter
cd as to be incapable Of cont; rrine general and
lasting advantages 1t should be so employed
that its influence may be felt, throughout the en-
tire Commonwcalth-fro the Ohio to the Clesa-
peakc bay-irom Tennessee to the Roanoke-from
the Potomac TO the broad Ailantic--in the dfu-
sion Of education and in the Improvement ofOur
facilities of intercourse. There is, however, in
the proposition of the Warrenton paper, that
which will nightly captivate all the demagogues
in the Legislature, the nc plus ultra of whose am
bon is IA seat in that body, at four dollars per
diem (thougll we impute no improper motives to
the Editor of that journal } and we should not be
surprzed ifsome twenty or thirty members should
sustain it. 1t will be such fine electioneerng
theme, when they return from Richmond, to tell
their constituents that they will have no county Is-'
vieS to pay,-no assessment for working on roads,
no tax for building bridges, and such like taking
arguments, -that the motive, fear, will be IT.

Seeing some ,iu,e ago an article copied into the

offer you the following remarks, Which you are at
liberty TO publish IL you think proper.
Gov. McDufiie this year makes splendid crop
Of Cotton, and large surplus of provisions. tie
has already picked out 200 bags. weighing Soo
lbs. each, and will in all probability make 90 more.
His fore, this year, no, SO large as usual several
hands having been sent 10 the Vancluse Factory !;
and others are engaged in different business. This
cron will be made and saved by fifty efficient
hands. Thus ,ewili besecn, II the estimate have
made Of the crop proves to be correct, (& am
sure il will be very nearly ,o, each hand will make
seven bags THIS is the hes, crop the Governor
ever made, and very much to his credit as plan
,or. 1t is the first crop he has had the manage
men, and control Of since the commencement oil
hi. Congressional career. The order, neatness
and sys,ema,ical arrangement, Of his plantation, are
admirable and thu careful attention which he
gives to the comfort Of his negroe. generally, ant
particularly to their cabins, is deserving OF al
praise.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

The Philadelphia National Gazette counses
that the Wing Electors in the several States, for
the purpose of avoiding the degradation of Col.
Jonson's election to the Vice Presidency, shall
concentrate their votes upon Judge Wm Smith, of
Alabama, the Virginia candidate, instead oftlrow-
ing them away upon Messrs. Tyler and Gran
ger, neither of whom, it is probable, can be sue
ccssful in "A contest with Johnson before the Sen
ate. This is strange advice, truly. The Collie
es of Electors, rs understand their fnnc-
tons, are totally destitute of discretionary powers.
They have no right whatever 10 transcend the
limits of their duty, as prescribed by the people at
the polls--and that duty is simply to announce
according to certain forms, for whom majority
of the people of their respective States have vo-
ted, for the Offices of President and Vice Prcsi-
dent. The dangerous consequences Of claiming for
the Electoral Colleges the right, if they deem its
exercise expedlent, Of voting for individuals other
than those indicated by the popular voice, are so
apparent, that We are utterly a,tonshed at the
recklessness which would counsel such a course,
under any circumstances. What would the Ma
tonal Gazette itself now say, if the People of
CHfSNINdHd tdu CHOSCn Electors favorable to
Gen. Harrison. and, after their assembage, in or
der to avoid the evils Of an election by the House,
they should give the vote of that State to Van
Buren, What would it say if the Wing
College of Maryland, in order to keep the election
OF Vice Presinent from the Senate. should bcstow
the vote of that State upon Col Johnson ? If
we once admit the principle that College of f..
lectors may confer The vote of their Slate u,on
individuals other than those voted for by the peo
pie, they must themselves be the Judges of the
necessity which will justify violation of the
trust conhded to thenl-and the Electors Of Penn
sylvan'a. under the circumstances above supnos-
ed, would have precisely the same right to trans,
I r the vote of that State from Harrison 10 Van
Buren, for the Presidency, and the Electors of
Maryland the vote Of that State from TYLER 10
