WASHINGTON Cry, April 80, 1856.

To the Editor of the Menengalla Mirror.
Sir:-There is now no doubt that a ma jority
of the people of Virginia have determined at the
polls 10 call Convention TO amend our State
Constitution, upon the terms and principles pre-
sented by the Act of the Legislature; and there
fore i. will now be our duty to so regulate our
conduct and action as TO secure as soon as posi-
Bile, due share of influence in the administra
ton OF the government to and for the people OF
Western Virginia
With an undoubted majority of the free white
people Of the State we are forced into Conven-
ton, in which body the minority of the people
will rule and control lis action.
We may remedy this evil, to very great eS
tent, by united action of the people of the
West, to give to the people direct the right to
elect, by their votes at the polls, all their public
oficers-Governor, Judges, Members of the
Board of Public Works, &c. Stripping the
Legislature OF all power, except TO provide tor
the collection of debts, the punishment of crimes.
TO regulate and manage the finances of the
State, and with suitable limitations to pass acts
of incorporation. The election of these high
and important State Officers would substantially
giveto the majority of the people of the State
the control of the Government. II would have
the effect 10 give as much force and effect in the
election of these officers, to the voter whose resi-
dence may be in the Mountains of the West
as that of citizen whose residence may be up
Oil the shores of the Atlantic. l have made it
my business to enquire of intelligent men from
the State of New York, what effect that clause
of their amended constitution has had upon the
character and efficiency Of their Judiciary,
which provides that their Judges, including
Judges Of the Supreme Court of the State, shall
be elected periodically by the people-and
have received for answer, that it works we'll

.sNO ENEMIES TO PUNIsFI.v

We may hereafter draw from the deep fountain
OF Information contained in Senator Bradbury's
able speech, in reply to Truman Smith, a num-
Der Of valuable facts, showing up the beauties and
sincerity of s'no-partyism" We have room to-
day for only brief contrast between the ucts of a
party President aud practice of a protested "no.
party" chief magistrate. The Taylorites seek to
justify the proscriptive acts of the Regency by a
reference the ruthless and horrible prescription
of Wings by sold Hickory" whose cruel bar
barity is assailed most numerically. Gen. Jack
son commenced the universal sweep of Wings
from office-the bloody work wrs continued bv
Van Bnren-and Old lack is only 'equalizng''
the Offices and giving places to the Wing party
who had been entirely osracized! A short state
ment will show the absurdny and falsity of the
charge. During the first three yea,s of General
Jackson's administration, there were only fortv
removals made for cause or without cause. What
has Gen. Taylor done? Truman Smith admits
that this ono party" administration of Zachary
Washington has removed, in the short space of
one year, in one single department of the govern
ment, three thousand four hundred and sic :; while
the whole amount Of removals, under Gen. Jack
son, during eight years of his 'relentless proscrip-
tor, was only 49l. Again, when Gen. jackson
came into office, there were in the different de-
partments at Washington, only Sc Democratic
Clerks and 240 Federaliss, or Wings as they
now call themselves. On the 9TH March, iS4l,
when Harrison came in and after the sweeping
prescription of Jackson and Van Buren,, Of which
the Wings complain, there were in those same
Departments, S24 Democrats and 276 Wings
the latter party still retaining the majority, after
twelve years of Democratic osracism. The sal
aries of the Democratic Clerks in all the depart
ments in Washington amounted 10 $2S67l5, while
those of the prosecuted Wings reached 1891 ,332S.
In May ensuing, less than three months after Gen.
Harrison's inanguration, this encess Of Wing sal
aries reached 81 Ia 1913. These are ssme Of the
facts ofhe case, exp posed in Mr.. Bradbury's speech
of The 23d April, and Gas the Baltimore Argus
says 1--WE might go on 10 show the utter falsty
Of the charges made against the Democratic ad-
mlnisrations, and the uncaled for, bitter and re-
entleas prescription of the present incumbenis and
incaaabercrs of the high posts Of the nation. We
have thought it but simple justice to place these
facts in the hands of our friends that they nigh.
be prepared to meet the reckless charges of Wing
demagognes, and place the character Of the cham
plonss Of Democracy On their true and lofty posi-
tom '--EnqeHrer.

WHAT'S IN THE WIND.

The administration have taken ground against
the compromise. Both the organs at Washing
ton, the Ineligencer and the Republic, have
announced the decree that there shall be no ad-
iustment of the question, with the Executive
sanction. Thus, it will be seen, that if the Free
Soil Cabinet of the no-party President can pre-
vent settlement of the vexed question, it will
be done, and the country be agitated Tor years
to come, if the Union itself is not dissolved.
We would not give the opinions of Clay and
Cass, Of Webster and Dickinson, of Robert J.
Walker and Waddy Thompson, for all the plans
and opinions Taylor and his Cabinet could make
and give for thousand years. Pgmies to 81
ants The old soldier is sold to his Cabinet
he dare not contravene their actions. This ac-
counts for the change of editors of the Republic.
Bulitt is a Southern mamie knew the power
of the Cabinet over queak President, and he
lifted up his voice against them-and for this
he was ostracised.

WASHINGTON, MONDAY, May 20, 1880
SENATE.-After the presentation of petitions
and reports, and the transaction OF other morn
ing business, the bill to amend the patent laws
was taken up, debated and postponed. The
compromise bill was then taken up, and Mr..
Clemens concluded his reply TO Mr.. Foote. Mr.

The House resumed the consideration of the
report of the committee on the case of the door
keeper-the question pending being to make it
the special order for the 9th instant, and to
print the report. Mr.. Brown of Mississippi,
who made the charges, argued that they were
fully sustained, and he demanded the immediate
dismissal of the door-keeper.
MIR. Odds explained the nature OF the report,
and asked Tor a postponement. The report was
made the special order ior tbs 27ih list / he

demning the transactions relating to the Galrhin
Claim.
Mr.. Toombs sustained the conduct of the
Secretary Of War throughout, as highly honor
able and commendabIe.

Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, MAY 81, 1850.

WASHINGTON, May u, 1880.
Mr. Soules Speech against Compromise Ghe.
CLANS Rejoinder-His Decentralization of the
Presidents Plan-1he Triple Crisis, &c.
This has been a brilliant and exciting day in
the Senate Mr.. Soule made grand aud i'm
posing argument against every feature of the
compromise, and declared no Southern man
could vote for it. Mr. Soule was listened to
with deep attention, and the impression which
which he left is anything other than encourag-
ing to the friends of peace and national harmo-
ny. A sullen assent to a measure of peace is
all that he could promise, and not that until eve
ry measure of resistance was exhausted. Mr..
Cays instantaneous reply was a triumphant re-
futation of all the chief points OF Mr.. Soules ar
gument.
But Mr. Clay had still higher duty to perform
that is, to express his dsapprobation OF
the Presidents plan, and to call upon the
friends of that plan, if one there was, to stand
up, not in a newspaper column, but in the Sen
ate, and defend that plan and compare its adj
vantages merits with the compromise scheme.
Mr.. Clay spoke with his usual eloquence,
and in tone not unlike that of indignation.
If Mr.. Clay's scheme does not pass, it may
not be positively asserted that California will
soon come into the Union. She will never
come in on the Presidents plan. The struggle
may be severe one, and may shake the Capt.
tol to its base-but California is not SO to come
into the Union.
The country is now in triple crisis First
there is a threatening difficulty in the contro-
versy between Texas and New Mexico, diff
Guilty Involving national hate; next there is the
California and Wimot proviso war and, third,
we are menaced with precipitation into all
sorts of difficulty growing out OF the Cuban
affair.

THE GALPHIN CLAIM.

The committee to whom was referred the
consideration of the payment OF the interest on
the Galphin claim, have discharged their duty,
and recommend tile adoption, by the House, OF
the following resolutions
1st. Resolved, That the claim of the repre-
sentatives of George Galphin, was not just de-
mand against the United States
81. Resolved, That the act Of Congress made
it the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to
pay the principal Of said claim, and it was there
fore paid Kin conformity with law" and "pre-
cedent."
3D.. Resolved, That the act aforesaid did not
authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to pay
interest on said claim. and its payment was not
'n conformity with law or precedent"
The committee, in their report, give histori-
cal account of the origin of this claim which a.
rose in 1878, under the British Government
the original amount vas s43,5lS s7-the in
terest, which commenced in May, i775, amount
ed to S19l, 1852 SO. The claim belonged to one
Galphin, an Indian trader, to whom the British
Government issued certificate of debt for co.
ITO, but it was not recognized by the State of
Georgia, until 1880, and then only under Sec
ton of an act appended TO the sale of two lots
at Augusta. After the death Of Galphiu, in
1880, various efforts We're made to get the claim
recognized, but it was rejected by England and
by Georgia, though it was inserted in a section
Of the treaty made with the Indians at New F.
chota, John Ross spurning the proposition; and
when this treaty came before the United States
Senate the claim was scrutinized and rejected
by a vote of 26 to IL. The bill finally was per-
mitted to pass Congress, without attracting much
attention, for the payment Of the principal, with
out interest The opinion OF all former Attor-
ueys General is against the payment OF interest;
the policy of the Government is against the pay
ment OF interest, and the demand has been re-
sisted by every administration until the Taylor
Cabinet permitted itself 10 be Galpltinised. On
no sound principle, and by no precedent, can
the payment ofthis money by Mr.. Secretary
Meredith to Mr.. Secretary Crawford, be justi-
| fed. The Wing papers are remarkably silent
on the subject-they act, we suppose on the
maxim, that the "least said is soonest mended."

INVASION OF CUBA.

There seems now, TO be no doubt, that this
Island is to be invaded by body of armed men
determined to liberate it from subsection to
Spain. Thousands of well-appointed and we'll
furnished men have already sailed from various
ports of the Union, with the view, it was said;
of going to California, but their destination and
their object were very different. Thus far these
men have violated none of the laws of neutrali-
ty, though the President has issued orders for
the sailing of several vessels of the home squad
ron TO proceed forthwith to Cuba and prevent
the landing of any troops from the U. States
From the accounts we have seen the troops will
have been landed before the Government vessels
reach Cuba. 1t is said that Gen. Quitman, Gov
error of Mississippi, has resigned his post the
purpose of joining the expedition as its colnman-
der. We expect news in a few days.

Mr.. Editor-We think this District should be
represented in the Convention by able and eff
fcient delegates-by men who agree with the
reform party in the great purposes they seek to
accomplish, and who will faithfully carry out
the wishes of the people. We suggest TO the
voters Of the District the names of the following
gentlemen, JOHN LETcHER and JAMES D. DAVID
SON, of Rockbridge, Col. JAMES CRAWFORD,
HUGH w. SHEFFEY and SHELTON S. ABNEy, OF
Augusta. We feel assured that at the proper
time. the gentlemen we have named, will, if they
consent to become candidates, publish their
views on the subject of reform. Their views,
wa have every reason to believe, will receive
the approval Of the People of the District

declare themselves on Monday.
Republican vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1857, 1850-05-27

Mr.. EDITOR 1T is now reduced to GER
tainty that we must have a Convention to "a
mend our present State Constitution. The peo-
pie of Virginia, by an overwhelming majority,
have declared their determination for reform. In
August next, we shall be called upon to cast our
votes for those whom we think best calculated
to represent us in the Convention and to further
the object for which it has been called. We
take the liberty, therefore, of presenting to the
people of this District, the name of JOHN G.
Fulton, Esq.-a gentleman in every way well
qualified to discharge the duties which may de-
yolve upon him. He is gentleman of inteli-
gence, and served us for two consecutive terms
in the Legislature. He made an able and eff
cient representative, and by his urbaniy of
manners and gentlenlanly department. was one
of the most popular members of the House of
Delegates.
Mr. Fulton is sound upon all the great cues
tons OF reform. AS early as the Convention OF
1880, though but youth, he felt and evinced a
lively Interest in its proceedings; was then Il
warm advocate of the white basis, and firm
and decided opponent of the several objectional
and olious features of our present Constitution.
He is a thorough reformer. He is none of your
new born converts, for the sake of gaining popu-
lar favor, or of riding into power or place but is
influenced by conscientious conviction OF
right and due regard for the rights of his fellow
citizens and the honor and prosperity of our
glorious Old Dominion. This cali made by a
respectable portion of his neighbors and fellow
citizens, is entirely unknown to him. We hope
the voters of the District will soon nominate or
have announced the names of oher gentlemen,
equally qualified to represent our District in the
Convention-men sound upon the white basis
and wlo go the whole figure on all the great
questions of reform. We want no halfway re-
formers-they would defeat the very object for
which the Convention has been called Should
Mr.. +. accede TO this call, in due time his opin-
ions will be presented to the voters of the dis
trict. MANY VOTERS.
