The Madisonian quotes very strong article
in favor OF annexation from the New Orleans
Commercial Bulletin" Wing paper, and does
Justice to the ability and principles OF that paper.
The Bulletin appeals TO the Legislature OF Lou
isiana Tor the immediate passage OF decided reso'
lutons in favor OF Texas. Ii tells them, that the
fate OF the measure IN Congress depends on the
course which may he taken by the Senators from
Louisiana With their sntfrages in its behalf,
there is scarce doubt that the measure will sue
coed; with their voices against il, thei: is as
little doubt that il will be definitely, irreievably
lost"
The Madisonian says that, "wth the two
Wing Senators from Louisiana in its favor, there
can be no doub, Of the success OF the measure du-
ring the present session."
The fate of the measure will equally depend
npon the two Senators from Virginia. Will the
Legislature of Virginia refuse to instruct them :
We trust there will be no evasion, no dodging,
no LAYING upon the liable; but that the Issue may
be met directly, and that we may know who is
for Texas. and who agairst-who is, 10 all in
tents and purposes, Tin effect we mean, not in de-
9sa) for Great Britain, and who for his own
country.
MIR. Bowien pledged himself 10 call M The
Texas Resolutions every morning, and why MOI,
ACT upon them, while the House have so lille bu-
sness upon ther iabes-ard, in fact when this
question may be decided without interfering with
any other business and without wasting any
portion OF the time of the House. Surely
no subject IS 50 important rs ,his-rone 50
prcssing--none, on which the voice Of Virgi-
MIA is more anxiously expccied-none, on which
the People themselves more imperatively demand
the action Of their servants-none, on which the
public time and public treasure could be more
isefully employed. Let us have Aetion, then,

TIE RICHMOND WING AND Mr.. WooD OF THE
HorsE or DELEGATES

THE RICHMOND WING AND Mr. WooD OF THE
HousE or DELEGATES.
After the course OF tie Wing for some days
past, or Indeed, for many, not only days, but
years past, there is piece Of folly on its part
which can excite surprise. 10 act either of mad
ness or Of meanness toc which lis columns would
not have already presented a precedent There
is some excuse il is true. for lis present delirum
or mania, whichever Of he Two now has The as
cendant in the notifying position to which the
Wing paper and The Wing pary are reduced
the one convicted in is own columns, the other
recorded in The journals ot the Legislature as
tahess 10 the people and 70 their own pretended
principles. This state Of things, however, can
not Justify an attack on the motives uindivduals,
OF the publication Of aSpersions, acknowledged
by The Wing itself 10 be false; and neither Mr..
Wood Of Elizabeth City, the members Of the
Democratic Party, should have been ih;is unwar-
ran.aby presented 10 The public in light which
has no origin, save in the deceased Imagination of
those whose knowledge Of their own willingness
10 engage in any scheme OF depravi,y, leads them
to deem others IS unworthy asthemselveS.
What is the charge made BY The Wing It's
this I'VE had heard Of attempts 10 tamper with
MIR. Wood Of Elizabeth City ana Warwick, BY
holding out promises 10 him. that il be would
traffic away his own principles and those of his
constituents, ~ voting for Mr. HuG.cr, The Demo
crazy r the Legislature would pass his pilot
bill, measure Of interest 10 that community"
Blu, tie Wing "placed no faith in such idle re-
ports" MIR. Woods reputation" places him
above any such suspicion. He ''could neither be
bought nor scotland "his constituents onc and
all, OF both parties, would spnrn such 4 compact
and the guilty agents in H. If the Wing be-
lieves what it says, why, then, wound the feel
ings Of Mr.. Wood BY dishonorablc imputa-
tons? II il "rejects the whole story as n
fiction" why publish 10 The world that such
story ever existed, without telling US in whose
prurient imagination the caumny was con-
ceived7 There are various ways Of circulating
falsehood of "damning with faint praises"
and spreading false impressions, while the
falsehood is acknowledged by those who tell
The tale The attack Of the Richmond Wing
shows considerable degree of skill in This pro-
cess Of propagation, and if ialsehoods could be
Matched BY such means into we'll grown truths,
the artificial chicken hachers o. New York
might come 10 Richmond 10 learn new secrets
in their science; bit as il is the Wings proclivi-
" for telling stories, (Which ii rejects as fiction"
is too well known 10 injure the siand.,g OF Mr.
Wood, or to atiectthe confidence OF The people in
The Democracy" of Virginia.
The whole tale is false from bcginnngto end,
and we dare the Wing 10 produce enc single in
dividual from whom il has heard an assertion OF
its truth.

THE INTRODUCTORY LECTURES AT THE
MEDICAL COLLEGE.


Our citizens, and visitors TO Richmond, should
bear in mind the fact that a series of lntroducto-
~ Lectures are now going at the Medical
College in this city. We were prevented
ourselves from attending the opening lecture
OF Professor Chamberlayne, on Monday but
were in attendance on Tuesday to hear the lee
turc of Professor Wyman.
The lecture of the former, as we had a right TO
expect, from what We know Of the gentleman, has
been highly praised. That of the latter. we had
the pleasure of hearing. OF its beauty and APP
propriatcness we can venture to speak, for it was
alike instructive to the general hearcr and to the
student OF medicine.
The lecture Of to-day will be delivered by Pro-
fcsSor Cullen. His popularity accomplish
ed and an agreeable lecturer, has long since been
established in this community. We ask large
audience the part of the citizens to-day, at IL
O'Clock.
In regard to the prospects of the Medical Col
lege, we take great pleasure in assur ny our
readers that a large number of studcnts likely
TO take tickets this winter. Already we have
ticed number of strange faces vending their
way in the direction Of the College building.
The day, we trust, is not far distant. when the
number of students at the Richmond Medical Col
lege will be equal TO that in attendance nj any
other institution Of the kind in this country. And
why shouldn't it be- Do any present more or
greater Advantages But fer, if any.
