t Next to eating, drinking, loving and mon
ey-makiug, the greatest desire of human be-
inps seems to be to discover the lining OF
each others brains; and the great differ
.ence between authors and other people seems
mainly to consist in the faculty OF turning
out this lining to the view. But in this same
lining, there are many plats, wrinkles and
corners which even authors scarce think II
worth their while to expand, but which, il
accidentally developed, create an interest,
either by their correspondence with other
peoples wrinkles, or by their intrinsic pecu-

COLUMBIA, LAND OF LIBERTY.

To Liberty's enraptured sight
When first Columbia's region shone,
She haid it from her starry height,
And smiling, claimed it as hei own.

She spoke, and straight, Heavens mlnstrelcy
Swelled the loud chorus TO the skies
All hail for ever great and free,
Columbia, land of liberty!
Columbia, land of liberty! 40 81
Columbia, land Of liberty!
War blew her clarion loud and long,
Oppression led his legons on,
To battle rush'd the patriot throng,
And soon the glorious day was won.
Each bleeding freeman smiled in death,
FLYING he saw his country's foes
And. waited by his latest breath, .a.
To Heaven the cheerful pman rose
Content | die for thou art free, ... o..

And shall we ever dim the fires, .-.
Tho, flame on Freedoms kindred shrlnes1
Shall gory's children shame their sires?
Shall cowards spring from heroea' lolnsf
No-by the blood our fathers shed,

When streaming from the martyrd dead,

We swear to keep thee great and tree

VrnNpen,y nac Oh I9d.

Contested Election from King 4. Queen.
The report OF the majority of the COM
mitlee, concluding with resolution, that
the contestant, Vim. B. Davis, was en,i-
tied TO be returned the delegate from
King g. Queen, and should be entitled to
his seat as such, came up as the order of
the day.
Mr.. M'Rae moved to amend the resolu-
ton, by substituting the report OF the COM
mittee-which found in favor Of the slit
ing member.
1t appears from the reports, that at one
precinct, the Commissioners subducted
two votes from Davis poll--after they
were recorded; and at another precinct,
erased aro,her, in ike manner-after
ascertaining that they were bad votes
by recalling and re.examinlng the persons
claiming 10 vote. These three votes sub.
trac,eG, gave Lumpkin the majority, and
the Commissioner gave him the return.
MIR. Davis contested the legality Of this
return. and gave Mr.. Lumpkin notice to
tina, effect. Mr.. Lumpkin gave coun-
ter notice to Mr.. Davise, affirming the le-
gality Of the return, and moreover con-
testing numerous votes recorded for Da.
Wis. The majority report decides that
the Commissioners had no right TO erase
anv vote after recorded, and therefore,
that the return was improperly given to
the sitting member. The minority report
contends that tho Commissioners, acting
in the capacity of judicial officers. were
fully empowered to strike off any illegal
vote, pending the election, therefore the
return was legal. This report goes far
Their, and admitting tho return to be bad i,
contends that Lumpkin, having establish.
ed the illegalIty of various votes on Oa-
Wis poll, is entitled to the seat, although
the return be bad.
Mr.. Talaferro supported the report OF
the majority-conten generally that
the Commissioners have no authority
whatever to erase any vote, after it is re-
corded. He confined his argument to
the Mega6iy of the return-and on that
ground soley contended that the contes-
tant was entitled to the seat, until the
merits of the controversy were investigat-
ed and it was ascertalned who had a
majority of the legal votes.
Mr.. Edging;on took different view
from that of Mr.. Taliaferro. lie contend.
ed that the Commissioners, who were
sworn to certify only the legal votes,
could not fulfil their oath, unless they had
control Of the poll, until the election was
closed. If they had not this authority,
they would have TO swear lalsely-if at.
ter recordinga vote, they ascertained IT to
be bad. But apart from this technical
view of the question, Mr.. f. urged that
on the merits. The sitting member was en-
titled to his seat. He had proven, that
he had majority Of the legal votes.-
Not only the 3 votes referred to were
proven to be bad, but 10 others were
shown to be bad;--or at least the contest.
ing member had not proven them to be
good, and by the law, the failure to prove
them good was tantamount TO the admis
sion that they were bad.

In compliance with what was under
stood to be the general wish Of the Wig
party 10 Virginia, The undersigned, com
posing The &c raj Wing Committee, 10
the past autumn, recomT n led TO the
Wings in the State, TO appoint dtlega,es
TO assemble 10 CONVENTION in the city Of
Richmond, on the 22d day OF February
next, for the purpose Of framing Wing
Electoral Ticket, nominating delegates TO
The Baltimore Convention, and consulting
upon envy matters involving the interests
Of the Wing cause: Accordingly, many
OF the counties and towns in the State
have appointed delegates TO the proposed
Convention.
Since tie meeting OF tho Legislature
now in session, there has been strong
and general expression in that body Of a
desire to bring its Iabors TO an early ter
animation. The Wigs, as is well known,
are at present minority 10 the Legisla-
ture, and to them would attach bat a
small share of the responsibility of a
ngthened Sc sion. But they feel no de-
sire f. thwart-on The contrary, they
would by all means in their power, com
palibe with the public interests, give
their aid to the majority in attaining an
object which, in common with them, they
regard US highly useful and praisewor-
thy.
Animated with this sentiment, and DIES
irous to escape even the appearance OF
design to procrast nate the session to as
late a triud as the 22I Of February, ian
occasion on which, according TO usage,
IT was expected shat The ahig members
would coz prra,e IN convention with The

the Assembly and Of special delegates
from the several counties, on "Wednesday
she 18th day of February, 1914, instead OF
the 22d OF said month, as heretofore pro-
posed. And that the Central Committee
oil the State, appointed by the last Con
venton, be respectfully requested to take
early measures for promulgaling the same
in the fullest manner to the people OF the
STATE.
The committee take pleasure IN for
warling the object Of the above resolu.
ton, end they hereby make known to
