TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA,

And es2ccially to those of HE Richmond District.
"The danger is not yet over" We call your
attention 10 The following article from the Gin
cinnati Weekly Herald and Philanlhropisr Of
the 10Th March. Abolitionisls and Wings Gin
genera are going for The repeal of the resolutions
and The ultimate defeat OF The annexation OF Texas.
Virsinians what say you7 Can you consent 10
:heeleclion Of Mr. Bolts, who is against Texas, who
is glad that The question is kept open, and who will
DO all he can next Winter, if you trust him with
your power, 10 "head" and 10 kill il? See how
FULLY he sympathizcs with the Abolitionists of the
Wesl-and how he cries for repeal along with
that crew:
REpEAL.'-Many. of the Wing papers are
crying out for Repeal If Congress can do, say
they, it can undo. If it can pass joint resolu-
lion for annexation, it can repeal it, Let this,
then, be The watchword.
Sometime since, we wrote an article to show,
that the action OF Congress, even should it pass
the Joint resolutions of the House, was mt fnal
that it required the assent OF Texas, and the
formation by her Of Constitution, TO be submit
led 10 the next Congress for its conSummation.-
In view of this, we called upon all the friends of
Liberty 10 unite, without distinction OF party, and
where members of Congress were yet TO be cho-
sen, 10 make annexation the sole question-cr,
where members Of the State Legislatures were 10
be elected, 10 SET mp candidates exclusively with
reference 10 this question: SO that the power Of
The State Legislatures might be brought 10 bear,
in the form Of instructions, upon the National
Legislature. But this movement, we insisted,
should he conducted with entire fairness, and so
as 10 leave undisturbed the existing relative
strength of tes-anti-annexarion Democrats
being put up in districts, which, at the last cleo
lion, gave Democratic majorilies-ant-anneSa
ton Wings in districts with Wing majoriies, and
SO on.
"a few Liberty papers re-puhshed our article,
but not one Of those Wing or Democratic prints
which are so profuse in their expressions OF hos
lili,y 10 annexation. We submitted our propo-
silion as a test-lhat it was fair one, nobody
will DENY; but it was all in vain. You cannot
get either Wings or Democrats TO merge other
questions in this, however they may choose for
the time 10 magnify it. They may be willing 10
use it for party effect, but scarcely for any nober
purpose.
1.-THE cry now is, repeal Wing leaders insist
that this must be their watchword. Ask them
whether they will subordinate oil other questions
10 this, and acquiesce in our proposition-the
only honest and fair one that can be made on the
subject Not they. Repeal" will be the watch
word-but il will be used, not primarily TO de-
feat annexation, but TO add to the strength Of the
party. Itthey can but secure BY this device the
adhesion all the friends Of liberty in the coun-

To The Editors Of The Eaoui7e,

WASHINGTON, 9th April, lSl3.
The correspondent the Baltimore Patriot and
the Richmond Wing, have been pleased 10 allude
10 the remoral, Gas hcy call IT, of Col f. t.
Montague, of Virginia, from an office 10 which
he was appointed by the late President The OBJ
ject seems 10 be, 10 cast odium on Mr.. Tyler, for
having originally made The appointment, on MT.
Polk, for having made the removal, and ergo, on
Colonel Montague
Now, Messrs. Editors, plain statement will
satisfy all who are seeking truth. Colonel Mon
tasue is gentleman OF high Standing in Virgi.
MIA and elsewhere He did not seek 10 be appointed
10 the office recently held by him-he would not
have taken Office, if any person had been removed
10 make roon, for him No, noe. T. Monta-
que did not ask for that. But Death the "grim
messenger" did his work, and Mr.. Tyler invi-
led him 10 abandon his home, his profession,
and resign an important Office which he held, TO
cometo Washington accepted the invitation,
and faithfully discharged the duties OF his office
Circumstances unnecessary TO name, seemed 10
require a new arrangement, and Col. NJ and
his friends do not complain Of The transfer now
about to be made. Let the Wings make the most
Of this mauer-they can make no capital OF il.

The President, accompanied By the Members
OF the Cabinet made shnr, excursion on Salur-
day last in the steamer Water Witch, lately
launched from our Navy Yard. This vessel is
constructed OF iron, and propelled by Lieut. Hun.
ters horizontal wheels We are informed that
her performance during this trip was highly sa-
iisfactory, her speed being from ten 10 eleven
miles the hour. She is intended, we believe, to
be employed as water-tank and tug.
The use of iron 10 the construction OF vessels
will, willis. /, tends 10 develop our resources, BY
Increasing the demand for The raw material, Of
which we possess such an abundant supply, en-
courage the skill and science OF our mechanics
and ar,izans, and furnish additional employment
for our industry. Mr.. Pickering of our Navy
yard, was he general superintendent. in the con-
