To the Editors Of TIC ENQUIRER:

Since the nomination Of Polk and Dallas no,
word has been heard from VIM c. Rivcs-
Many persons, especially those who were in the
late Democratic Convention i'm Richmond are
anxious To know what course that gentleman in
tends !opursue. You remember, that very near
relative OF Mr. Rives stated publicly in the Con
vention last February, that "he was authorized 10
say that Mr.. Rives would support any man that
might be nom;na,edat the Baltimore Convention,
except Mr., Van Buren," Will Mr. Riyes now
redeem the pledge thus givenl doubt ii. Some
say he was too far committed 10 Mr. Clay before
the meeting of the Baltimore Convention. But
ii would be monstrous TO suppose that Mr. R;cs
pledged his support 10 the nominee Of thai Con
venlion, except as 10 one name; and then, before
he knew the action Of that Convention commit
ted himself 10 the opponent otthe Individual who
might he there nominated Others think Mr..
Rives is influenced by the supposed Wing ma
ority in the mex, Legislature. Ii he is, he counts
wthou, his host; for every body who knows any
thing about the sentiment of the Wings in Vir-
ginia, knows that Mr. A. Ii. II. Stuart is the
choice Of that party for Senator, two 10 one over
all others. But il is 10 be hoped that Mr. Rires
will be influenced BY no improper considerations
If he is not let him come out like man and re-
deem the pledge he authorized 10 be given 10 the
Republican party in Virginia, and that was given
to them in their Convention last winter. Will he
