 JOHN TYLER, OF VIRGINIA.

I. GWEN Il ' ES kGs OF VIRGINIA,
 0F It will be seen by the list of Justices of the Peace for this county, published in to-day's paper that there three whgs, instead of t,Oo as stated last week, to the locos fUe in this vIIage-one gentle man being in the nomination who we supposed was not It should perhaps in justice to our county dele gaon in the legislature, be also stated that three of these ocos practising attorneys, and the School Commissioner, also lawyer, another one. The number of Justices in the town is the same as last year-three died during the past year, one left out, and four new ones appointed.
 The Sub- Treasury Bill is still under debate in the House of Representatives. Speeches are made every day-more and longer ones in favor than against it, After lingering it's proper time, that is, until all the speeches are made " for Bunkum" which are desira- ble it wfprobably be passed by some l5 to 20 majo- rty We perceive that on almost all occasions where votes taken, the House is very thinly attended, Congress will not probably adjourn before the middle of July.
 The Legislature has adjourned-and :" what can't be cured must be endured.' ' Nevertheless, we give place to the following communication show that we not alone in the opinion that good policy required that something should be done respecting the School Fund-eilher to give the Commissioner an assistant, to appoint Board of Directors, or to discharge him altogether, and appoint some else in his place
 Mr. Editor-I was glad to see by your last paper that you disapproved, in one respect at least, of the course of the majority in the late Legislature-I allude to- their faint heartedness upon the subject of fappointing a successor to the present School Commission. CT. This believed they would have done at any rate, am satisfied they should have done it. l believed that good policy, as we'll as principle demanded it, and that public opinion in this county required it. In the early part of the session, contemplated at- tending for few days upon the legislature, for the purpose. among other things, of pla- cing before some of our legislators, in their true light, nothing extenuating, nor setting down aught in maIice," the conduct of the Commissioner previous to and pending our elections for the few last years; but was assured by my neighbors, or such as con- versed with, that there was no danger-that the matter would be attended to-that the re- wOraI acouM take place-that the locos said that he had held it long enough, and it was time change was made, so that thorough and searching investigation should take place-or at all events, that an associate should be given to hinl-not an Gssistant, un- derstand, but an associate, with equal powers aad equal privileges and equal pay and equal responsibilities, and one in whom equal confidence should be reposed. But was doomed to disappointment, it seems. The Commissioner could not be, or at any rate was not reached-no one took upon himself the responsibility of calling up the question, and hence it was not done. So far as can learn, however, our members are not particu- larly to blame in this matter-they were will ling, and desirous either to give Mfr Beers walking ticket, or an associate and am glad to learn, in addition, that the Uhig dele gation from this county, where he is best known, and his conduct most correctly ap- preciated, with one or two exceptions, were ready to go for the removal. But it is per haps useless to waste words or time upon the subject" the deed is not done'-and cannot be "this year." We must figh: through an- other campaign under the discouraging idea that MT. Beers party favorite motto, "to the victors belong the spoils," is not to be acted upon by the whigs-that the chalice which he would commend to our lips is not to hinn to be carried into effect. Truly, the "blue- birds and sparrows" have suffered sufficient ly, and some smaller " haws and buZzards," |" but the tallest of them all-he who has the control of TWO MILLIONS of the peoples mo- ney-is to go scot-free. Let US all keep at work, nevertheless; and when the Presiden- tial contest is over-when HARRISON and TYLER shall have been inducted into office we may hope for better state of things.

 The People are Coming. g.-Scarcely day passes, (says the Albany Gazette, and respond by re- marking that wish it was in our power 10 publish accounts of many of the sprted,) that do not receive intelligence of Harrison Gathering among the yeomaDry of the land. In every direction we hear of county, district and conventions compo sed o thousands of independent electors pressing for ward with zeal, harmony and determination 10 the great consunlmation in November next. Thereis a spirit abroad in ihe land which argues well for the Republic. The insulting language of NIT. Wright let the People take of themselves and let the Government take care ofiseE" is likely to provoke fitting reply. The People ,oH take care of them sclves," and in so doing will teach the Government that selfish disregard of their wants and wishes is but an indifferent passport to their confidence and af fection."
