One remark only upon these extracts The reader
with half eye will see the gross bnnders INTO which

the hlahy respectable Correspondent from Dino has
erred IN his opinion, that hall of the AhoonIsts will
vote their own ticket Our Correspondent in Zaacs

wr huinbly think, To the true state of the case. We

The following Report presented to the ASsocia-

ordered to be published:
Your Committee, appointed under Resolution of

That tn Capital Of Virginia, in these sJraordinary
times has indeed become the of the most navel
and s.crirGOrdinGry exhibitions that have ever been
enacted in this old Commonwealth. 1t is the first time
IN our history that such has been prcse nrd in
Virginia Herttctore, her have been appealed 10
in the voice of and the language of patriotism,
unaccompaned By devices to please the eye, capt.
vate the passions-.Nom, in the estimation Of oppo-
nents the time for reasoning 10 have gone by,
and has been deemed necessary to resort to other
as n substitute for Argument This, your Committee
regard as of the most fearful Signs Of the times.
Ours IS rmphaticay Government based on the virtue,
intelligence and capacity Of man for scfgovernnent.
In European Governments, where this doctrine is
pud:a, and laughed scorn the drbasing means
are rrsnrt"d by the rich and welIhorn to the
object Of their ambitionoGfrc. All such means have
heretofore in Virginia received neither councnancr nor
favor: or f rrsortrd 10 al ALL by ouly few a mere
,aSme or sport; but ambition, the desire OF Office

means. Lui trguiar system has been introduced Ia

lam down L. III" corporal in their ranks.
I0nr Committee would not presume the object oI
the resolution undrr which they are acting was, to
rnioin upon them the labor of entering into minute
detail Of the undigned exhibition they have witness.
ed, and the insulting language which has been heard
within the last three days, during which the Wing
Convention has been sitting here Such consiruc-
ton would subject them tn much labor without
profit and exhaust the patience of those who might
otherwise be disposed to give ear if their inquiries
were more restricted In this view ofihrr duty then
they have confined themselves 10 bnt few topics Of a

the drsultnry aud unnteresting which they
are thrown together and treated.
Then, what have seen exhibited in the Mctropo-
lis Of Virginia. On Monday last according 10 previous
notice gwen and extensive arrangements made, the
Wings assembled IN this City, al the invitation and
fiat of party Junto, IRON about nall the counties IN
this State and from various other portions Of the
Union bringing with them all manner 81! devices, ban
ner and flags They do not appear have come to
and deliberate the affairs of the country, to pro-
mugate the grtat principles of their pnrty but to make
show and pageant. They accordingly with music
and drum; with flags and banners; with log cabin
and its usual ridiculous pharnalia-drawn by SIX
mules formed procession consisting of between
three and four thousand persons ncludng many cili.
zens boys and delegates from beyond the borders of
the State9 This number fell far short Of the pre-.
vons extravagnnt expeditions of their party,
and has had corresponding effect their spira.
tons and hopes Of success In spite Of this dsap.
pointment they mustered their forces and performed
feat similar to that wherein
s.1'he King uf France with 10000 men,
Marched mp the hill, and then marched down again.
They occupied the Capitol of the State, and its
grounds, which they had decorated and arranged for
the OCCASION where their orators have been three da
