The attention and respectful heating which he re-

In regard to the resolutions about Texas,

REPOSITORIES Of the PUBLIC RUST"
The above paragraph purporting to be an ex-
tract from speech delivered by Mr.. Leigh in the
Convention OF Virginia, has been repeatedly pub
lished in of the Loco Foco prints of Western
Virginia, with intent to prejudice the cause of Mr.
Clay by bringing odium on Mr.. Leigh, who is one
of his most active and jealous supporters. The
Editors have not ventured to refer to the psrtcu-
lar speech Of Mr. Leigh, from which they pretend
to quote rer6afim the words" Mechanics and
laborers have seither the means nor the incns-
ton to study the science of government. and are
therefore unsafe repositories Of the public trust
Let them tell u.s. they can. in what speech of Mr.
Leigh those words we're uttered, and where the
report Of it is to be found Otherwise they must be
content to have it believed that the sentence is a
fabrication of their own Of some of their fellow
aborers in the same cause. The language which
Mr. Leigh dad use in the Convention, which posi-
bly, gave the HAT for this fabrcation shall be here
given at full length, prefacng the extract with an
account of the occasion which he was speaking,
in order that the bearing of his remarks may be
fairly understood,
The report OF what was called The Legislature
Committee, taken up in Convention on the
2Glh October. 1929 The first resolution reported
by that Committee, was in these words:
"Resoived, That in the aPporlionment of repre-
sentauon in the House OF Delegates, regard should
be had 10 the white population exclusively"
Mr.. Green, OF Culpe?er, moved to amend the
resolution by striking out the words ezclusipely, "
and inserting in lieu thereof the words " and tar
alton combined" so as to epPortion the represen-
taton according to a mixed ratio of white popula-
ton and taxauon combined. This amendment
presented the most vital question which the Con-
yention had to determined and long debate ensu

THE CROPS.

We are now in the midst ofthe hay harvest, and
regret to learn, that owing to the dry spring, this
important aiment Of winter susenance will fall far
short of the usual yield. In many places the cIo-

pense OF moving. In few days the grain fields
will resound with the merry voices Of the Graders,
rakers, binders, and shockers. The Mcdterrane-

crop has been much diminished BY late sowing;
by the unfavorabe alterations the weather in the
winter and early spring, and by the distressing

of the fy this season, but learn that the smut and

places. The best wheat which we have seen has
been from early sowing and in the heavy CLAW soils
