Hsr. BOcOctk and s.Eiin BrOWn."

We have heretofore advertcd to the
fact, that Mr. Bocock took credit to him
sell, for having failed to vote for this noto-
rious parsonage, for Speaker Of the last
House of Reprcsentativcs--when his vote
and those oftwo others would have been
sufficient to elect him. 1t so happens
that Mr.. Bococh S account Of that transac-
ton, Wy which the Hall Of Congress was
disgraccd, and honorable men were sham
ed into confusion, produced the impress
sion on the minds Of those who heard his
speech at Campbell c. H., that he had no,
voted for Brown at ALL This Of course was
not intended by Mr.. Bococl
The fact is, he voted for Brown on SIR
bullets, and " hen he finally determined to
throw lis vote away, as he did upon Linn
Boyd, which was only equivalent 70 not
voting at all,--he assigned no reason for
i. Although he had cause to believe that
Brown was bargaining with the Free Soil
crs, he failed TO give his Southern brethren
any warning, but sat quietly in his seat,
even after the intrigue between Brow n
and Wilnot had been publicly referred to
By Stauly and Ashmun, (Souihern and
Northern Whigs,) and as publicly denied
by General Baily and Brown himself. Is
this the way Mr. Bocock manifcs,s his
great, his absorbing devotion to Southern
rights! He would not take the response
bility of voting for Brown, when thereby
he might be elected; but if others chose
to do so, and Brown, were elected, Mr.
Bocock had nothing to say in opposition
In the excited scene which followed the
development Of Browns collision, among
other things, member from South Caro-
Ina Mr. Burt declared that there was no
Southern man upon that floor who would
not have considered it an insult to have
been asked TO vote for Brown, had the fact
been known. And yet Mr.. Bocock, ac-
cordlng to his own confession suspecting
that fact, gave Southern men no hint Of ms
suspicious. Was this acting kindly to

South above the success OF his party,ought

"A CORRESPONDENT last Mondays Virginian.
signed MANY Merchants without distinction ofpar-
ty. objects most strcnuou<ly to encouraging those
Merchants who import dire tly from England in
stead ofcncoura ring the Abolition Yankee merchants
ofthe North-and takes the San hefn ground ofthr
Vfginian and Bedford Sentinel that preference
should be given by the Southern people to the for
mer."
The Virgirian has never taken the
ground imputed to it in the above extract
from the Republican. We have objected
to ''non-interconrsc" as impractcable, sec
5ional and tending to disunion. We have
ridiculed the absurdity of refusing to trade
with American abolitonis;s and subsritut-
lag forita commerce with British abolition
lists. Butte say that we have objected
strenuously' or otherwise "to encouraging
those merchants, who import directly from
England," Is to assign to this paper pos
iion which it has never taken and cannot
be induced to take. On the contrary, we
have been the uniform advocates Of direct
trade with Europe, as we are the friends
of the freest, widest and quickest system
Of trade with all countries, that offer com
mercial inducements ofany character.
Our theory is to rely as far as possible
upon the products ard manufactures Of
our own Staie,aud by encouraging and pre-
ferring them, to call into action all the en-
ergies Of industry, to avail ourselves of all
gifts of nature, and thus render Virginia
powerful and independent Commonwealth
holding others in commercial subjeciion TO
her, instead of filing that condition her
self towards others.
Nextto the products Of Virginia we
would prefer, when they could be had as
easily and cheaply as others. american
productions; for the reason, that we are
Americans, and our sympathics, interests,
and prejudices are all dmerican and not
British. But to the extent that importa-
ton and expectation are necessary or de-
sirable, wesay and have always said-let US
do it from and into our own ports, with our
own vessels. We trust the Republican
will be more careful IN future in stating our
position.
