Upon MIR. Preston is lavished the praise OF
this Wimo, Proviso correspondent, as follows:
"In the account of the proceedings of the
last Southern caucus, January l5th,) the name
of the Hon w. B. Preston of Virginia was &C.
cidentaly omitted from the vote on the recon
mi,ment Of Mr.. Calhouns address, which
should have been recorded in the affirmative
Throughout all this agitation, ne has uniformly
acted with the body of the Southern Wings,
and while sustaining what he regards as the
constitutional rights of the section which ne SO
ably represents, he has, on all occasions, re.

say, if, after the potent voice Of the Legislature
of Virginia, he is justified in meriting applause
from such a quarter BY resisting a calm and
dignfed recital Of Southern grievances at the
present interesting period. If Mr.. P prefers the
praise and confidence of "Independent' in
obeying the voice of his own people, will not
the latter relieve him from his laborious duties
