ESSEX COUNTY.

At a large and respectable meeting of the De-
mocrals of the county of Essex, at Tappahan-
mock. held for the nomination of a suitable can
didate to represent the said county at the next
meeting of the General Assembly, Col James
Wright was called to the Chair, and E. G. eau
thorn appointed Secretary.
On motion of Capt. A. G. Micou,
Resolred, That a committee be appointed by
the Chair from the different portions ofthe county,
to confer in reference TO the individual most suit
able for the nomination.
A committee was accordingly appointed who
retired a short time and soon returned with the
annunciation of the name of Col. Richard J.
Muse, who received The unanimous vote OF the
meeting.
Upon motion of Capt VIM. A. Wright,
Resolred That commit ee be appointed to in
form COL Muse Of his nomination
A committee was accordingly appointed for that
purpose, who returned and reported, that Col.
Muse was present, and would address the meet.
ing. Col. M then arose. and, in a few short and
appropriate remarks, thanked them for the dis
tincliop which he had received in being thrice re-
earded as the choice OF tina: party with whom he
had the honor ofbeing identified. He said it was
true he had hitherto been unsuccessful that yicto-
~ had never yet perched upon the Democratic
standard, whilst he headed its forces-bnt The spi-
rit which had prompted him to yield TO the Toice
ofhis countymen at more inauspicious period
was not vet extinguished; that, il in yielding
again to their solicitations good could be done
for the cause in which we are engaged, he Eel
himself ready and willing 10 act his part.
Rssolred, That the meeting adjourn, and that
these proceedings be published in the Richmond
Enquirer. JAMES WRIGHT, Chm.

THE FACTS IN A NUTSHELL.

The N. Y. TRIBUNE AND THE SENATE OF Vim
olNIA.-Theres no pleasing the Tribune, with any
thing political opponent can do-strke high or
strike low. The Senate in Virginia is Demo-
cratic; the Assembly, Wing The majority on
joint ballot probably Wing by one or Two. The
people Of the State have recently proved them
selves Democratic BY majority OF about COCO.
In this state of things the Assembly, some weeks
ago fixed a day to 60 into the election Of Senator.
The Senate took them al their word and consent
ed. But when the day approached, the Assembly,
finding that from the absence Of some OF their
votes they would be in certain minority in Joint
ballot, backed out. Again, at later period, they
fixed upon another day, Friday, the 18th inst
This time the Senate thought proper TO decline,
and on Thursday postponed the resolution indie
fnilely by IL TO IA. But whether they comply
with or decline the propositions of the Assembly,
they appear to be equally unsuccessful in satisfy
ing the Tribune.
1t would doubtless vastly prefer 10 see a Wing
placed for six years in the Senate as represen-
tative Of the Democratic State of Virginia. II
this arrangement was not perfectly agreeable 10
the Democracy OF the Virginia Legislature, ii is
scarcely matter Of much surprise. In throw
ing the choice Of Senator over, as they have
done, to the next Legislature, which is 10 be
elected in April, without wrong to any one, OF
prejudice to any public interest, they have only
appealed TO the people TO prevent the preparation
OF great wrong to themselves, which the Wings
in the Assembly were anxious 10 effect.
