From the Richmond Wing.

A very great change has come over
the spirit Of parties in this Commonwealth
within the last few years. The lntolef-
ance. rancour, and vndictiveness OF 30,
SO, and '37, are no longer visible among
the members ofibe Legislature. They
have given place 10 milder and kinder
feelings on all sides. The disposition no
longer prevails to make every question
which arts party question:, whether
having any connexlon properly win par
~ politics or not. On the contrary, al
obvious spirit exists to evoke as rarely as
possible the demon Of party strife. We
have had practical evidences OF THIS laci
on several occasions during the session.
First. in the election ofSpeaker--second-
lv. in the election of Public Prinier--and
thirdly, in the liberal and enlarged views
entertained by all parties in regard to ihe
Public Domain. On this last sublcct, IN
relation to which there now exists bal
one opinion, but few years since, snch
was the maddeniag influence OF parry
rspe. that the interests of the Common.
wealth were betrayed and sacrificed by
the then dominant party, ana soieiy 10
advance the ambitious aspirations 81 the
political gamesters at Washington. Prop
ositions. similar to those recommended 10
the late Message oil the Governor, ana
which now command universal approba-
lion, were two years since voted down IN
the House Of Delegates by strict party
vote. The prevalence OF this better sp'f-
il 10 conducive TO sound and wholesome
legislation we hope, therefore, to see y
cherished for the good of the people, and
the honor and welfare OF the old Donln-
ion.
But marked as has been the change 10
the feelings of parties IN the Hall OF Legs.
lat,on. il has not oeen less conspicuous IN
the social circles, where il IL be attended
with less benefit, it tends to mitigate the
vexatious ofpolitical life, and to render
that pleasing recreation which was ON
erwisc an irksome duty. When Coi.
Watkins and his alhterative associates 10
command were won. TO rally their " war
r,ors" to the onslaught, the Loco rocos
were as huffish, sullen, and savage look
as the Round-heads of old Nol's time
The Wings trembled as they looked upon
them. Any approaches to civility were
sternly rebuffed, and social intercourse
! was unknown. But those times are past
and we trust never to return,

Immediately to the discharge Of their du.
". The committee has been authorized
to absent itself nom the House during it,

I, is worthy Of observation, that this
committee, though IFS organization has
been vehemently resisted by some OF tho
peculiarly fast friends Of the administra-
tom is IN exact conformity TO leading
accommodation in the Presidents Annu.

committee is TO report to the body to

stead OF reporting 10 the President OF the

may not bear in mind this passage IN tho
Message, we quote it, in order to refresh
their memory as lollows'

be deemed proper, to examine the sfiairs

whilst the object ofthe investigation that
has been ordered is special. In this par

SUDDEN FAME.

Rv what singular and trivial events
sometimes men become famous aud I'M
mortaized. Without any effort Ire
ouen;ly without any intention on 'hen
part-their names become common woros
in the mouths Of manklnd--are mention
ed on all occasions-and frequently are
embodied into our language. We were
led TO contemplation of this subject by
overhearng a conversation yesterday be-
tween two ignorant men-one candid en-
ouoh TO admit it, but the other /" holding
out" his pretensions to knowledge.
Says the candid one, Sam, you know

"Ofcourse," said the other, " that's
the only way 10 make road dry"
"Well now," replied his comrade, "l'l!

they say it has been Make-a-iam.ised

1t is not useful to repeat any more OF
their conversation. We mention so much
TO show how extensively the name of Nc
Adam has been circulated; and the ad-
iectiye derived from it is full OF meaning,
in accordance with the analogy of our
language, and used by thousands who
know its meaning, though they may not
know its derivation.

adduced. We hear of Burking, SAINT atch'

Of bentit nrsing from the same, in which
