present opposition to the exercise, on the part of
the South, of its constitutional rights and for his
voting to attach the Wilmot Proviso to the Ore
gon Bill, wishing, thereby, ''prat tically to assert
The naked principle that Cor ress has the power
claimed for it by the Proviso" We honor Mr..
Polk for his known devotion to the interests of the
South. We recognize the strait in which he was
placed by the defeat of the Clayton Compromise
Bill by the votes Of eight Southern Wings. We
appreciate the uncompronising necessity which
forced him to sign Bill applying the Proviso to
territory North even of he Missouri Compro-
mise line; and we believe him to have been con-
srientious when he said ut is because the pro-
visions OF this bill are not inconsistent with the
terms Of the Missouri Compromise, if extended
from the Rio Grande to the Pacific Ocean, that
have not felt at liberty to withhold my sane
ton Had it embraced territories South of that
compromise, the question presented for my con-
sideration would have been of far different
character, and my action upon it must have cor
responded with my convictions" We do not
ask generosity from the Spectator towards, his
memory. We have no reason, from its past
course, to expect justice. Let it continue to de-
cry man whose good deeds live after him. De-
spite its censures, "recorded honors shall gather
round his monument, and thicken over him. 1t
is a solid fabric, and will support the laurels that
adorn ito FAIR PLAY.

The New Orleans Delta has knocked away al
The romance with which the public mi.ld has
invested the odd war horse OF the general,
as he is Familiarity termed. So far from this ii
seems that Tay lsr bought him Of q busted UP
circus company, just before he marched to Cor
pus Christi Soon atterw ards, The Second Wash
lGston' Remembering that the first Washington,
always rode his famous White charger ut REVIEWS
conceived the brilliant design OF following IN his
footsttI sand accordingly old circus was duly
cararisoned, and the General rode TO the head
of The column But, alas, he had not forgotten
his old occupation; it mattesed little to HIM
whether he carried Caesar at a review or clown
into the ring-and no sooer had the music
struck up, than old " hitty stn.el out circle;
Which his rider found himself unable to restrain !!
Around they went over the tan--ene Juggling
at the bit and the other at the reins-until at
last to the infinite amusement ofhis tellow-offi-
GERS, the humble imtator of the first and best,
was landed ON the turf! After this old Whitley
was discarded, and made to associate with the
pack mules at the end of the train, until the ne
cessiies OF his master brought him once more
into service at Buena Vista. We are sorry to
learn these facts, as they take away one of the
most interesting features OF the most interesting

A ROCKINGHAM FARMER.

Many persons not acquainted with the adj
milable sl stem OF farming and management pur-
sued by our Rockingham farmers generally, are
scarcely aware of what some of them produce
upon their farms with small force. Indeed we
Who live here in the very heart of the county,
were not fully aware, until recently, What a lu-
dicious, intelligent, active Rocking ham farmer
can do and has done with a few hands upon cur
rich and fertile soil. REUBEN Moore, Esqr., a
Smiths Creek farmer, made on his farm and
hauled to market ousr niae hundred barrels Of
flour b. sides What he used in his own family.
Esquire Moore worked but six hands, and with
one wagon and team did the work on the farm,
as well rs the hauling to market! The crop
was ground in his own mill, so that every thiag
was done by hins If and upon his own premises
In addition to the farm, Mr.. Moore also had $50
fat cattle to sill.
We should say that farmers who do things at.
ter this order are getting along very comfortably
and very dependently. Can any farmer in
this county, where nearly all are judicious ano
intelligent farmers, beat this result of Reuben
Moore's last years flaming operation s!-Wt SEE
no necessity for men going to California from
Rockingham, when the earth here yields such {
return as This to industry and eiiort.-Regsster.

The Next Con gress.

II seems to be generally conceded that the
Free-soilers will hold the balance of power in
the next Congress of the U. States. If there be
no change in the elections yet to take place,
he House will stand ia Democrats, 1O7 Wings.
Free-soilers 10. From this it would appear that
he Wings stand no chance of passing any of
their odous measures, at least for two years, and
when we recollect that in the present Congress
hero are 81 Wings from N. York and IS from
Pennsylvania, it would be an eaay matter to tell
which side the ma jority would be if elections
We're yet to take place in these two States. That
he peorl> may have some idea of the strength
of the Democracy we give the singular fact thai
more than one-half Of the Wing members at
present elected, is from three States! and two of
hese have heretofore been represented by strong
Democratic rnajorites. Verify, Whigery is a
strange thing,
D= We are pleased to hear that the numbers
over the signature of Potomac" on the subject
| of Convention, which have been published i'll
he EsVmdicator,a are attracting some atA nton
in this County. No one, at all acquainted with
The Constitution OF Virginia, can fail to perceive
that that instrument is radically defectivein ma
)ny important particulars, and that Reform is
needed We will not point out these defects,
b cause they too glazing to escape the atten-
ton of the most superficial reader. We under
stand, too, that the election OF all officers by the
people is finding advocates where we least ex-
pected it, while il is well known that the Coun-
ty Court system is not increasing i'll popular ia
vor. We were forcibly struck with remark
made the other day, by countyman, to this eff
tect, that the County Court never failed TO "esl-
ter a rue" against juror, who got no'hirg for
his services if he werea few MINUTES mind
time, in making his appearance before their
Woships, though he had the first case to hear
OF 'srtAs" being entered against a Magistrate
when the people were waiting an hour or SO up
ON him. No--and he never will hear OF such a
''rme" being entered, as long as the Magistrates
appoint thems; Ives, and in SO far are above the
people. While on this subject Of a Convention
we may as well ask our neighbors of the Spec
tator what they think about the matter ano
whether the friends of Reform may calculate OIL
any aid from their press. As this is not poit
ical question we hope the Spectator will RESPOND
to our inquiry, and for once, afford us the pleas
ure of battling together in comlGon cause ant
for the good Of all.
