THE REPEAL QUESTION.

There exists wish among the ultra loco
focos to make grand party rally under the
Repeal flag, which has been hOisted by the
Globe anG Enquirer. 1t will not take in
Virginia, nor in the South. Mr.. CALHOUN,
with all his influence in South Carolina, cam
not drive that State into measure so desper-
ate and disgraceful. The people ofthe South
are law loving and alaw abiding people,
They will treat with contompt the idea that
there is no binding efficacy in charters-that
an act of incorporation, upon the faith of
which millions have been invested, can be
repealed with as little ceremony as bill for
the imposition of taxes. The doctrine is re-
voting to the common sense of the great
mass the community. ltmay find counte-
nance among the agrarian and Fanny Wright
portion OF corrupt political faction in the
corrupt city of N. York, which holds that.
present Legislation cannot bind posterity, and
other political heresies, which are repudiated
among all dispassionate men Of whatever
party. In this State, we repeat, it will find
no favor. SD
The exhortation of the Enquirer to the
"Dcmocracy" has been responded to in some
counties-in what manner, let the proceed
ings in Buckingham and Fauquier show
In the latter county, a gathering took place
on Monday Of last week. The Times says
Of it
"The meeting on Monday was failure in
more than mere ilck ofnumbers. They were
divided in sentiment. The ''sink or sacin.''
men carried the day, il is true, but they were
sternly and boldly rebuked by voices never
brfore heard in opposition. Maj. Hunton,
Gen. Wallace and Maj. Wallace cast them
selves in the breach, and essayed to save the
party from such deep reproach: but Richie
and the Globe were too strong for lAesh in
that meeting, Consisting Of 33 all told, y all,
though we have no doubt that in a full meet
ing the result would be otherwise. g.
The course pursued by these three enale-
men exhibited great independence, and ahieh
degree of moral courage. We have rarely
heard holder, more just or more eloquent
views than were presented by Maj. Wallace.
His structures upon this novel doctrine of
"repeal' We're made in strain of lofty and
indignant feeling, which did honor to his
heart. The party hacks, who manage in
Richmond and Washington, will find it up
hill work to face the people in opposition to
these men,"
The opposition of such men to a measure
urged by party leaders at Washington and
Richmond, is significant of its fate. We
will not compliment the Messrs. WALLACE
and Senator HUNToN upon the course they
have taken. We respect them Individually
too highly to suppose they would act other
wise.-.4rena.

POPULAR EDUCATION.

We are truly pleased to see that the propo-
sition OF our correspondent 49," to hold a
district convention Of the friends of popular
education in the counties of Botetourt, Roam
oke, Floyd, Montgomery, Bath, Pendleton,
Rockingham, and Augusta, at Lexington,
some time in October next, is warmly es-
poused by the Lexington Gazette, the Valley
Star, and the Buchanan Journal. rive
would respectfully add to tho list of counties
to be represented in the convention, Allegha-
ny and Pulaski-(Rockbridge was no doubt
designed to be included, JAS coming within
the range ofour correspondents suggestion.
The Buchanan Journal is mistaken in sup
posing the object of this convention to be the
selection of delegates to the Clarksburp con-
vention. Its action is intended to be indie
pendent. The Clarksburg convention will
itself be only of a sectional character, and is
to meet about a month before the time pro-
posed Cor ours.
We are requested to say that a meeting
will be held at the Courthouse in Staunton
on the 4th Monday in this month, for the pur-
pose of appointing delegates tn tho proposed
convention. United action is powerful ac-
ton, and from the movements of the friends
of this great and good cause elsewhere, there
is much to encourage us to present exertion.

THE TARIFF BILL.

A correspondent of the Richmond Wing,
writing from Washington, thus speaks of the
Tariff or Revenue bill which recently passed
the House of Representatives.
"This bill is not free from objections
But as there are SO many conflicting interests
to be consulted, 1t was necessary to make
concessions on all sides, and as the good
preponderated very decidedly over the evil,
the mass of the Wings were willing to take
it, though some of the Representatives ofthe
heavy manufacturing districls-such as Sal
tonstall, of Salem, and Winthrop of Boston,
were constrained to go againstit.
"Ihere is one feature in which the bill was
! particularly Objectionable to most of the
The Wing members held caucus on this
subject at which large majority deterrained
that lea and Coffee should be exempt from
taxation. Accordingly when the bill was
under consideration III the Committee of the
whole MIR. Lawrence of Pa. prominen,
wing member, moved to amend the bill INV
ADDING lea and Coffee to the list of free ar.
ucles. Before the question could be taken

Loco foco party then united with Mr.. C.. in
voting Tor the amendment to the amendment,
and IN conjunction with such of the ultra am.
ii-tarIff Wings as wished Tea and Coffee to
be taxed, carried the amendment. The
Wings were thus placed in very awkward
predicament, from which they, in vain, at
tempted to extricate themselves. Wintbron
OF Boston, called for division of the oues-
ton on the amendment as amended so as to
present the question separately, but the chair
very promptly decided that the vote of the
committee having joined them together, the
c cIGa could not put them asunder. The
wing party were thus compelled either to
vote Tor the entire proposition or to vote the
whoie down. Under these circumstances
they could not hesitate to reject il entirely.-
And thus it come to pass that by dexteTous

CUTTING OFF AT THE KNEES

MIR. Payne of Alabama, who few years
since advocated National Bank of 100 mil
lions, made furious speech against the Bank
Blu, now before Congress. He rode very
high horse. He talked of Leonidas and John
Tyler, Marathon, Mitiades and the battle
ments of the Constitution, and swore Justify
that the South would never submit to such
tyranny.
All this torrent of eloquence was arrested
by a simple question by Mr.. Morgan of New
York, who asked, if the gentle man, when a
member of the Legislature of Alabama, had
not voted to instruct the Senators from that
State, and request the Representatives to vote
for National Bank, with capital of a 100.
millions :

JACKSONVILLE BANK-arx

JACKSONVILLE BANK-.Arrest and
confession of Tie Robber. A slip from the st.
Louis New Era contains an account of the ar
rest OF III. ID. Town, the late teller of the
Jacksonville Bank, and states that he made a
1ull development Of the facts connected with
the robbery to Col. Mather, and said that
the destruction of the Books was resolved
upon In moment of desperation, at the loss
Oh character consequent upon the discovery
OF long series of depredations upon the
funds OF The institution. This course COM
menced soon after he went into the Bank
three years since-and which he had GREAT
difhculty In concealing from the former
lie became more adroit as he proceeded i'm
his frauds,and was able to deceive the present
cashier, who had unbounded confidence i'm
nlm. Town ayerred, most solemnly, that
the whole sum used by him was little less
than $4,000, which will be the only deficit.
Inc money taken from the vaults of the
Bank was all recovered by Col. Mather on
Monday night. 1t was buried in three pla-
ces; part of it in the Diamond Grove part
OF It north of town on the barrens and the
gold In the stable lot. The process of rob-
berry was commenced on Friday night, and
ended on Sunday night. In his confession to
Coi. Mather, he implicated no one else, nor
did he any one afterwards. He assigned as
reason tor destroying the Books of the Bank,
that mad ne not done so, they would have es-
tablIshed his past frauds and that if he had
been Immediately arrested, he never would
nave made any disclosures. During the
week subsequent to the robbery, he accused
NOBODY, and, when any body was named
as The suspicious person, he would say no
believed they were not guilty.-Bah. timer.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE.


The despatch of the public business by the
House Of Representative is calling forth de-
served Communications from the Wing Press
through the country.
In looking for the cause Of this despatch,
so unusual in this body, we have come to
the conclusion that it may be found in the
"one hour rule" for which we are indebted
10 MIR. Warren, of Georgia.
Without this rule the Wing Party, howev-
er anxious they might have been to expedite
the public business, would have found them
selves thwarted and embarrassed at every
.~',, .''vir r"uuvus UPponcnls, VINO went
to W ashington determined to waste as much
time as possible, in order that they might
throw the odium of extravaganza on the party
in power.
"The one hour rule'' works like charm.
and we hope that its existence is not to be
limited to this session. We hope it will be
continued among the standing rules of the
House. 1t will be of great Service in more
ways than one. 1t will shorten the Session.
save the public money, and oblige the menu
bers either to acquire the faculty of condensa-
ton or hold their tongues.-Pet. Int.
