Mr. Thomas Ritehie, finding The South Carolina
Democr.ey somewhat atractible a. % the Prelimir
rics Of the ,tional Convention, and fearing EVIL
from keeping the question opea, has addressed
Circular in his name the eaers OF the sever
al eoan,ies, asking CheirBiews as TO the method to
be insisted upon BY Virginia. When answers shall
have been received weno doubt sI,sl have from the
veteran positive Rssepf 10 he PatfaI, as to the
lOds Of actions
The ''Chiyalry'' have slready given their new al
lies world Of trouble. and We think It probable
many secret irnpreca,ion has escaped the bosoms
Of the Regulars since the discnssiou commenced
Mr.. Il. has been trying hard 70 get An explicit
answer, but the Charleston Mercury eSades the
question As to positive committAl, and says "the
Enquirer is death upon the Cateehism." l''Wll
you abide the decision Of the Convention" has been
asked over and often, but the wary Carolinians only
answer, that they M if,hat Convention be PROPER
) " constituted. And this is the stumbling block
What will be ''properiy constituted" Convention

I, get the nomination"

i TOO much particularly, and this was the case

We last week published and called attention
to Mr. clay's admirable letter on he subject of
Home Industry and Manufactures, but we wish
lour opponents, as1Wcll as those who think with
lus, 10 bear in mind two essential features 10 that
letter Our policy, Mr.. Clay thinks, !" should
possess two qualities moderation and stability, in
timately connected with each other.,' This is
the true doctrine, and any other viii lead 10
ddctuation and embarrassment. The expert
eucc Of IN time proves that, in all the transac-
lions OF life. Moderation and Stability are. in
Indispensable TO success.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company
have published a notice to Scrip holders, that
they will. on no occasion, put in The plea Of the

arising upon the scrip, Seceptances, or bends OF
the Company.
Bsnrsmas Barnl We learn from the winches-
ter Republican hal BenYenue, The residence Of
Mrs David Meade, near White Post, Clarke
county, was entirely destroyed by FIRE on We'd
besday night The l7,h inst. The origin of the
Gre i moi known, but IS supposed by some 10
have been The work Of an iacendiarv.
Ve,y general complaint is made in reference |
10 the inequality Of The rates Of freight on The
BalaaoIs aud Ohio Railroad We can. only |
say TO our Baltimore friends, fos the present, |
hat If they NEAR 10 renew their claim upon The |
Virginia Legislature for assistance, lhey musl |
first place themselves upon ihesplalform Dc even |
and exact justice. Their rivalry Cor The trade or
Jhe Northern counties mag be conducted with
too strong tendency 10 selfish considerations.
We understand perfectly what we say on this
point, and give friendly warning in lime.
