Eor HE ENQUIRE.

For Me enquirer.
Messrs Editors In The Enquirer OF The llth
instant noticed communication, written by
alpha in which he recommends 10 you, and
the people OF this Stale, Mr. Samuel c. Ander-
son, of Prince Edward county, as gentleman
highly qualified to fill either OF the important
stations of Senator Of the United States or Co.
vernon of Virginia. 1t was, indeed, with great
pleasure that saw this; knowing, as did, that,
in either Office he would reflect honor on the Old
Dominion-that he would oppose any measure,
or measures, which would be an infringement
upon the rights Of the Slales-and that ne would
act in strict conformity 10 the principles OF 9S-
80, as set forth in Madisons Report, 10 which
he has always been devoted.
| He believes that the United States are Fede-
raj Union, union Of sovereign States, conle-
deraiion Of States-ihat the sovereignty is 10 the
several States, and not in the American people In
The aggregate-and, of course, would oppose any
measure which had The least tendency TO consoli-
dalton He is believer in the grea, and import
an, right Of the people 10 instruct their represen-
talives-a right which has sometimes been disre.
garded and trampled upon BY those who seldom
get in power, and when in, think that the people
are incapable Of self-government, and that The.
only are fl, and capable to govern them.
MIR. Anderson is truly, Jeaersonian Repubi
can. Combined with these good qualities, Mr
A. possesses strong and highly cultivated intel
lect, and sound moral principles, the latter o
which are almost as necessary 10 the Pertec
statesman as the former.
know no gentleman more highly qualified te
fill either OF the above stations, or who has great
er and stronger claims upon the Democratic par
", than MIR. Anderson. !, therefore, hear.ily]oi
with alpha in The hope, that the delegates
A. before the Legislature, and press his claims.

The WAY TO SETTLE THE OREcoS QUESTION
The Washington Union Of Monday. in an arti-
Gle explaining its course upon the Oregon ques-
lion, shadows forth what will probably be recon-
mended TO Congress by the President, in regard
TO that territory. 1t says:
Il seems 10 US, that this view OF our pas, un-
successful efforts at compromise is full Of in
slruclion for the future. II We wish TO settle The
Oregon question peaceably, let US settle il sea-
sonably; and 10 that end, let US show that we are
in earnest about it, and united upon it. Prolo-
coils alone, though they should cover ream upon
ream of paper, will not do this. We must do BY
lap for our citizens in Oregon al least as much
as Great Britain has done for her subjects there.
We must, as we have said before, recognise
them, protect them, establish communication with
them, and extend TO them a participation Of
our own free Republican Government" We
must organize Government over The American
citizens west Of the Rocky Mountains, and thus
protect them. and thus bind them 10 US. In addi
ton TO this, il is the dictate alike Of wise and
of peaceable spirit, TO give 10 emigration 4
| Oregon proper encouragement. An Indian agen
| eythere-a mail communications line OF block
houses protecting and securing the Oregon route
additional dragons il necessary, TO proec
them from the Indians; all these measures
and other measures Of protection such as these
| layed. They have been delayed loo long already
In one word, our diplomacy has already demon
s,rated that we are the righttu owners Of tina
soil. Our legislation should ao,c show, that
believes what our diplomacy has all along as
ser;ed and proved. Let our legislation do thi:
in moderation, al once and firmly, and Oregon
ours.

lowing preamble and resolutions, which were
unanimously passed:
Sensible the necessity OF adopting some sys-
tenn more effective than The present system OF po.
puIar education, which, with all the exertlons OF
school commissioners, has left Virginia far behind
her sister States in the advancement oil learning,
we deem il duty paramount 10 all others, 10 make
every exerion in our power 10 drive from our Dor
ders that reproach which lisllessness and mac
lion have brought upon US. Therefore,
l. ReWlred, That thorough and effective
change in our present system OF popular educa-
lion should be made by the next General Assem-
bly, and we desire and expect our repre- sentatlyes
in both branches OF that body, from the COM
mencement Of the session, TO use all e1ertions 10
accomplish that object.
2. Resolved That We will willingly submit TO
any tax necessary 10 establish hools 10 whicn
all can have free access.
3. Resolved That we cordially approve OF the
Education Convention proposed 10 be held on The
10th OF December, and that-- be appoint
ed delegates thereto.
A. Resolred That be appointed standing
corresponding committee, 10 correspond with
similar committees in other sections OF the Stale;
10 collect information relative 10 the system of
popular Education, in this and other States, and,
as lar as possible, TO distribute that information
among The people

The readers OF The Boston Nero. Journal, who
for year or more past, have been daily resalet
with predictions OF a war with Mexico, as The
inevitable result Of the annexation OF Texas, vii
be puzzled, if moi amused, at the following para
graph in The number OF Thursday evening:
AFFAIRS WITH MEIico.-The Washington
Union, OF Monday, contains several Mexican do
cumenls and letters, all tending TO induce, OIL
rather 10 confirm, the belief, that war between
Mexico and the United States is no longer pro-
bable-scarcely indeed possible. But this is SC
well understood now by the country atlarge and
BY every body who reads the papers, that We do
not think il worth while TO copy any OF the Off
Gals paragraphs.
Having given up the idea Of panic-making on
the Texas question: the same paper raises The
war.cry about Oregon, as follows:
Mr.. Tyler formed the design OF annexing Tex
as 10 the Union, al the risk Of a war with Mexi-
co-and By enistng The aid Of the Democratic
party, he succeeded in accomplishing his object
Thus Mr. Polk, following in The wake OF Mr..
Tyler, insists upon the possessions OF Oregon, al.
though he must know that such proceeding will
inevitably involve this country in war with
Great Britain.
How long will i, be before the Journal will de-
clare that "war between Great Britain and The
United States is no longer probable-scarcely
even possiblen These Wing editors are queer
fellows and the way they "change front" and "bo1
the compass" is caution TO soldiers and sailors.

Messrs Editors AS the period for the meeting
OF The next General Assembly approaches the ex.
element in regard 10 the election Of Governor
seems to increase The friends OF the various
distinguished champions Of Democracy urge the
claims Of their respective favoriles with increased
energy and ZEAL
My objec, in penning this communication, is
not TO add another name to the number OF grea
men whose characters have been euogised, and
whose names have been heralded forth as suitab bic
individuals TO fill the office OF Governor. My OBJ
lee, is not to dsparage the claims Of any, bu
simply TO bring 10 the notice Of the General AS

men, Cal least by repulalion0 he needs no eulogy
from me. You have seen him, and marked his
course in the many responsible stations ne has
filled for 80 many years; more particularly his cor
respondence, when the acting Governor OF oul
State, with The Governor Of New York--a cores
pondence that would do credit 10 any statesman
and one that extorled at the time admiration anc
praise from his most bitter opponents. You saw
him in the contest of 1910 and IA opposing man
fully, and putting TO flight the miserable subter
(uges Of our opponents. Many Of you saw anc
heard him in our Republican Conventions with
delight and an enthusiastic pride that you hac
such champion on the side OF the people bat

II would be out of place 10 institute invidious
comparisons as 10 talents, qualifications, &c.
with other distinguished gentlemen who have
been mentioned for the Office But should dc
injustice 10 the prctensions of the gentleman
whose claims | advocate, were | moi, from ar
honest conviction truth, TO say, that he is mar
OF the first order OF talents, pure Republican, &
patriot, who would adornihe Chair OF State in The
palmiest days of this proud Old Commonwealth
need not appeal 10 sectional interests, presen
a hish-souled Virginian, that knows no other in
leresi but his beloved Virginia. When we take
into consideration the many services Colonel Hop
kins has rendered our cause, The sacrifices le
which he has been subjected, in defence OF ou
principles, the conclusion is irresislibly forced
upon the mind that he should be elected Governor
as poor recompense for his labors
Independent Of these considerations, Colone
Hopkins would be able, by his high order o
talents his patriotic devotion TO principles, ant
dignity OF character, not only 10 make good ant
efficient Governor, but 10 re-es'ablish the prout
fame which Virginia once maintained among he
sister States, and shed halo Of glory around he
venrraied name.
This communication has been written withou
the knowledge Of Colonel Hopkins, nor does III
author know that he would accept the office
rendered him. VIRGINIAN.
