The following article Is from the fuHuaha (iiIHuls)
estate Register of the Goth ult. Our own accounts
are yagur-nor have we been able positively to ascer-
tain, whether any compromise vii! be effected, or even
attempted, among our friends at Washington, although
we most anxiousiy desire TO close the question. Yet, us
far as our reports 30, they concur with some Of the prin.
cip.I items in the following prolet. but there is another
feature in the scheme of which we have heard, that does
not appear in the Illinois ~vcrsion-Eut, nous rtrrons.

We are very much obliged to the Editor Of the Norfolk
Beacon. for the very kind and Courteous Terms, 10 which
he has noticed our article on the subject OF tie Pub!Ic
Printing. Indeed, we are free 10 say. that we must dis
claim the distinction, which lie has given TO US rs Il ro'iit'

derunnc as much drldrery as most mpn-and although
we mav say with Partridge in Tenn Jones, 'Hon sum

Beacon says; but we shall labor with all the grace and
cheerfulnrss in our power. II We fail. II is not because
the spirit IS weak; but because lie Nesh IS hsuHlceht

One word. with NIL possible respect, for our friend Of
the charlottesville licpubIicnn!-We protest ngninst
every attempt to read Govcrnar- Campbell. Rires, md
Logare, &c, out Of the Republican Church. We do
not mean 10 read Mr.. Van Buren, out, because we are
unfortunate enough 10 differ with him about the Sub,
Trrasury.-And we are sure we had no such design ana
not The slightest disposition, to lmpngn the principles OF
Governor Campbell, because we differ with hm N
some degree. about the theory of Tie origin of our pre-
sent cinbarraSsmcnts. We know his principles too
well-wc have known him too wcll--We have too high
q regard for both, to cast any reflection upon h'n or
his republican principles. 1t would he extraordinary. IN
deed, il, when the Times are So mech out of joint, and
new and complicated questions have risen upon us, there
should not be some differences or shades o fopinion nm"ng

cancellation among brethren Of the same family. "lnion,

Here is another case in pnint-Although we have the

yet upon this single question Of expectancy we are UNI
