POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS.

During the past week, our citizens were enter
tanned with several interesting speeches on the po
litical topics which engage the public mind
On Wednesday evening, they were addressed by
Jas. NJ. Crane, Esq, ofthe Southerner, Richmond,
and by John 5. Gallaher, ESD, of the Winchester
Republican, and again, on Friday evening, by the
latter gentleman, and by VIM. ii. Mcfarland, Esq,
of Richmond. We had not the pleasure Of being
present at the discussions on the first evening men
toned, but they are we'll reported of by those
who heard them The speeches on Friday evening
were able, calm, temperate and dignifed, and
could not fail to tell well for the cause. We have
rarely heard closer or more dispassonatc argu-
ment than that delivered by Mr.. Mcfarland He
addressed himself to the good sense and sober judg-
ment of his hearers, in manner so winning as to
dsarm even political opponents Of their pejudices.
His argument against the Veto Power. as upheld
and defended by the advocates and apolopists of
Executive encroachment and usurpation-and par
ticuary in exposure Of the detestabe heresy which
their extremity has forced them to embrace, that
and as such part Of the Legislative power, was
conclusive and unauswerable.-H quoted Mr. JEFF
| ferson to show that the men who claimed for the
Executive such powers, are not Democrats" but
"Monocrats;" and he warned his Democratic friends
against permitting the Dselves TO be betrayed by
their love for popular name" into the support o.
"monarchcal principles"
We were grstified 10 observe that there was
fuller attendance than is usual at our night meetings

The President then in most happy and felic-
,ous manner, introduced the Hon. Daniel III. Bar
ringer, of North Carolina, who had been in attend
ance upon the sessions Of the Convention. Mr.. Ii.
then addressed the body in most able and inter
esting speech.
At the close Of the Address, three cheers were
called ior by Gen. G.. p. Dorman. for Mr. Barrin-
ger and the Old North State, which were given
with most hearty good will by the assembled mul-
titude
The following resolution was then offered by
Charles ii. Lewis Esq, of Berkeley. and adopted
amidst loud and prolonged cheers:
Resolved, That the thanks Of this Convention
are due, and are hereby most warmly rendered to
the Hon. Daniel M. Barringer, Of North Carolina
for his welcome presence amongst us on this occa-
sion, aud for the able and interesting Address, with
which he has this day favored us.
| Gen. e.. p. Dorman then offered the following
resolutions, which Were unanimously adopted:
| LIST. Resolved, That the thanks of this Conven
ton be rendered TO its President, the Hon. WIN. &
Rives, for the eloquent and unanswerablc Speech
addressed 10 this body yesterday, and for tho
distinguished and satisfactory manner in which hi

%. Resolved, That the thanks of this Conven
tion are due TO the Vice Presidents and Secretaries
of the Convention, for the faithful and sasfactor,
manner in which they have respectively discharged

The President responded to the first resolution il
, most eloquent and exciting Address, urging upo
the Wings to be active and enc rgetc in their effort
to carry out the objects of this Convention, to OF

which they have subjected the ID ,ard. by not meet
ing the acquisitions for payirg the contractors
many of them delinquent for several instruments
The contractors require monthly payments. To
enable the Beard TO make these monthly payments
they have been compelled to borrop upwards Of
$4,000. The interest on this sum. must, as
matter of Justice, fall the delinquent Stockhod-
ers, and the Board have right by law require it..
The right Of coercing payment with costs, upon ter
days notice, is also possessed, which they have with
great patience forborne to exercise. We know that
our people respect their obligations much as any
others in the Commonwealth. and the failure to
meet the calls is the result of inadyertence to the
Importance of the subject. The contractors are ex-
pected to begin their operations this side Of
Charlottesville in short time, bu, whether the
work is postponed few weeks, or not is inmate

bound. We hope for the credit of cur county that
our people will attend to this matter.

Baltimore, addressed letter of inquiry to the Ad

LATE FROM SANTA FEE.

The St. Louis Republican furnishes the follow
ing Intelligence, gathered from the Santa Fe Re-
publican Of the 18th Of September:
Company II, LIST Dragons, commanded by Lieut.
Buford, from Fort Gibson, arrived at Santa Fe on
the 9Th instant, all in good health. Lieut. Buford
passed over hitherto untravelled route, which he
considers the best and shortest between the United
STATES and Santa Fe.
Bt Lit Col. Washington, appointed, it is said,
civil and military Governor of New Mexico was
expected ri Santa Fe by the Goth of this month
lie lief; chihuahua the ooh of August with two
companies Of dragons and of lgh, artillery for
the department of New Mexico, and five compa-
MES of dragons for California. The Republican
hopes that he may soon reach there it is impos-
sibie for 200 men to garrison and protect exien-
sive a territory from the savagos.
| Major Beall, United States dragons, was in
command of the military force in New Mexico
lie had received petitions from Taos, Peralto, AL
buquerque, and other points, asking for troops TO
garrison the frontiers, rs the inhabitants were in
constant danger from the daily incursions of the In
dlans, who continued TO murder them and drive off
their stock. The small force left to garrison the
country made it impossible for Major Beall to COM
| ply with these requests.
The crops throughout the country are said to
look fine, and 10 bid fair to yield bountiful har
vest to the growers. A much larger amount OF
grain has been planted this year than in any prev-
! Gus season.
The Republican, noticing the passage by the
Texas Legislature OF bills 10 establish the county
of Santa Fc-to arrange the Militia of the county
OF Santa Fe-to establish the eleventh judicial cir
| cult, to be formed of that county, and to allow the
county one representative in the House, says:
''Wo would now inform our Texan friends that
1t is not necessary to send us Judge district at
torney 10 settle affairs, put things rights ,
for there is not citizen either-American OF Mex-
can, that will ever acknowledge themselves as cit
liens of Texas, until it comes from higher authori-
ties. New Mexico does not belong, nor has Texas
even right to claim her as part of Texas. We
would also advise Texas to send with her civil Of
fcers for this county large force, in order that
they may have a sufficient body guard to escort
them back safe. 1t will also he well for Texas to
put MIR. - as member from the county of San
ia Fe, for their next session of the Legislature and
we sincerely hope the seat may be reserved for him.
as it is quite probable his services will be actually
demanded, in order to instruct the new and Young
idea how TO shoot Texas should show some little
sense and drop this question, and not have it pub
iicly announced that Texas's smartest men were
tarIed and eathered by attempting TO fill the offices
assigned them"
