The usual monotony which has prevailed here
during the summer, was agreeably changed by the
arrival Of troops on their way Texas, and the de-
barkatlon of the companies stationed at this port
tor similar destination. There had been some
little feeling of anxiety manifested by the ladies, at
the utter defencelessness OF the Key, by the with
drawa OF the soldiers; but their fears have been
most happily allayed in the organization of corps
of citizen soldiers, and the additional prospect of

Nchad hoped that our intelligent and far
seeing friends of the Cincinnati Gazette had
gained suiiluicnt information upon the Rail
Road question that has assumed great impor-
lance in this State within the last few wears:
TO lead them to do the State of Virginia full
and entire justice SO far as that is concerned:
andwc therefore perceived with regret that,
IN noticing the proceedings of the Clarksbursh
Rail Road Convention that paper continues to
assume the GROUND that, in giving the Balti-
more and Ohio Rail Roel Company the right
ofway to Wheeling at the last session of the
| Legislature, the State assumed position il
opposition to internal Improvements in the
west. This is a mistake. The State gave I'll,
| right OF way TO the best point, over the best
route, and through territory best calculated &c
promote the interest of North Western Vir.
gnia. If the editor of the Gazette will exam.
inc the list of appointed delegates Chose from
Tyler and Doddridge not having been appoin
ted by the people) at the Clarksburgh Con
venlion, he will find that they represent coun
ties sending but 4 delegates of the north west
to the Legislature, while the Convention OF
the friends of the present law, which will as
scmble on the 18th of July, at Fairmont, Mari
ON County, will be composed of delegate
from counties represented by eight members
This fact shows that that portion of Virgini;
interested in this question, and who have al
ways voted for internal improvement, are sa
tislicd with the present law and will sustain
! il.

not. As TO the brief month of Harrison's adj
ministration it is true that then many remo-

responsible for a doctrine, it should be shown
that it was practised upon as a system with
the APPRECIATION OF the party. And il is To be
remembered that never in the annals of any
country was corruption every where so rife as
under Van Buren. 1t is probable, therefore,
that most of the removals then made were for

manded by the people. ndnever, never has
the Wing party acknowledged il as principle
