We deeply regret the spirit OF the proceedings
Of the people Of Richie county, which we pub
lish to-day. We trust that The sober second
thought" will modify their opinions, and induce
them 10 look with more justice upon the action OF
the House of Delegates, giving representative
to the county of Alexandria. While we object
10 the form in which the measure was accom-
plished, we have never doubted, since the re-an-
nexa,ion, that Alexandria was entitled to dele
gate under the grea! principle Of the Bill Of
Rights, making representation the incident TO
taxation. II is too late now 10 reopen that ques-
ton, which ought to have been examined pre-
vious to annexation. The Legislature voted
unanimously in favor o. the re;rocesson of Alex
andra- and all sections uf The Stale, through the
action of their representatives, are eslo?ped from
denying TO her now the rights which necessarily
accrued To her by the act OF annexation. We
deem i, unnecessary 10 refer 10 other considera.
,ions as this single point we deem conclusi7e.

At the CoRwIN Barbecue, at Cincinnati, on the
9Th inst this gentleman declared his determination
20 vote for Cen TAYLOR. and al the late Wing
meeting at Mount Vernon, the place Of MS resi-
dence he reafhrmed this determination. The
Mount Vernon True Wig Of the llth gives a
sketch Of Mr. DELASo's speech, from which We
quote the closing paragraphs:
He then proceeded 10 notice the positions OF the
several candidates for the Presidency He osspproved
OF Mr. Van Buren's political creed with the single ex-
ceptOn Of the principle Of Freedom In the new Tern
tories He condemned in strong terms bic counte-
nance and support Of the Administration throughout
the Mexican war Of conquest Without however,

from the present indications the contest seemed 10 be

said we have nothing 70 hope for but LocoF ocoism In

former we had the certainty Of Wing sscendsncy in

on the question Of Slavery Extension by no means
as sasfactory 10 him be could desirs-still there
was reasonable ground 10 hope that General Taylor
would interfere by his patronage or veto with this
all important question.
The nomination Of Gen. Taylor had been and still
was very unacceptable 70 him but he felt bound, he
said as good citizen and true Wing not to aid In the
election Of Lewis Cass and he declared his determine
ton If the contest should continue as he supposed II
would 10 lie between Taylor and Csss 20 cast his vote
for Gen Taylor The announcement Of his deiermina a
