CHARLOTTE COUNTY.

1t will be seen that the Wings of this count,
are in motion. AT the last county Court, they
nominated CLEMENT HANCOCK for the House OF
Delegates. provided for representation in the Con.
gressional nominating convention at Farmville.
and recommended as their choice for the WING
candidate, HUNTER H. MARSHALL of Charlotte.
Mr.. Hancock was the Wing candidate for the
county last spring, and in three days election,
ran the present member to the bride bit, being
only one vote behind him when the flag fell. Who
ever may be his opponent, he is worthy and likely
to come out winner next time. Mr.. Marshall is
fully deserving of the confidence placed in him by
Wings of his county. He is Young man of
rising distinction at the har and is fully endowed
with all the qualities of mead and heart to do cre
dit to the district and himself in Congress. We
cordially subscribe to the encomium of the LYNCH
bnrg, Virginian which says:
"Should Mr.. Marshall receive that nomination
we know ofno man in the District, to whose cleo
ton we would take more pleasure in lending help
ing hand. Heis young gentleman ofdecided abil-
lty, OF heightened and chiyalrous nature, zeal
GUS and untiring Wing, and devoted to the Union
of the States. He would be representative to
whom the District might safely confdeits interests:
and withal he is as he deserves TO be, personally
very popular. But we must await the action of
the Farmvie Convention before which doubtless
the names of many equally worthy Wings will
be brought.
ave learn (he Virginian adds) there is much
dissatisfaction among many of Mr.. Bocock's par
ty friends which, it is said he will be utterly una
bic to reconcile. That gentleman has hard
time a-comng."

The importance of writing legibly, and espe-
cially of writing ones signature plainly, is curl
ously illustrated by the names appended to the
Virginia memorials, on the subject of African
Steamers, which were presented by Mr.. Mason to
the Senate on Monday, as publis he'd in the Repu6-
nc. The mistakes are so very numerous as 10
raise grave apprehension that the compositors of
Washington are not particularly familiar with the
names of the law and constitution makers of Vir-
ginia. Thus we see Nifey for Shelley; Howard
for Stanard; Wegira for Wysor; Fuguo for Fu-
qua; Tumbril for Turnbull; Braston for Braxton;
Tayman for Seymour; Vanroisdale for Vanorsdan;
Homer for Horner; Danison for Cameron; Crane
for Craig; Beirul for Berne; Norman for New
man; Minen Garrett for Muscoe Garnett; Condor
for Camden, and Gomllin for Tomlin.
1t being ndubiabIe that a mans name and his
reputation are intimately connected,it behoves
these gentlemen, if they have any regard for the
latter, to pay more attention to their chirography
What will it profit Mr.. Shelley, if the world gives
Mr. Miffey credit for some able letter in behalf Of
the white basis9 How can Mr.. Stanard expect
to increase his fame if his logical productions
are attributed to some modern Howard? Can Sena-
tor Horner hope to be honorably remembered by
poserty, if he risks the injustice of having his
lucubrations bound up with the Had and the
Odys sey? is it right that the good people of
Madison should be thought to have elected as
their delegate the ghost of some follower of Will
liam the Conqueror, rather than the Newman
whom they really returned? And in what laby-
rinths of difficulty will the Virginia Disunonists
be involved, ifthey take for their guides GomIins,
(Goblins would be more inteligible,) instead of
Tomlins?
Honorable gentlemen should reflect that prin-
tiers are not quite SO apt in hieroglyphics or the
cuneiform character, as Mr.. Gliddon, Mr.. Lay
ard, Major Rawlnson and other notable anti
quares. And we take the liberty of giving them
this piece of advice: If they wish what they write
for the press to make that impression upon the
public which they intend it to make, let them
school themselves to legible hand writing.

The TARTFr.-The Washington correspondent
OF the Philadelphia Public Ledger says that Mr.
buchanan, Mr.. Dallas and Mr.. Walker are in that
city actively engaged in endeavoring to defeat any
settlement OF the tariff question. If this be SO, it
ia singular that the worst enemies of the GREAT in
terests of Pennsylvania shout SO uniformly be
found among her own sons. The writer of the
celebrated Kane letter, by which the people of
Pennsylvania were to be taught that Mr.. Polk was
u better tariff man than Mr.. Clay, was Philade-
phian. Mr. Walker, the author of the present
revenue system, under which so large portion
OF the mines and furnaces Eofthe State have
been closed, and so many of her people ruined,
is Pennsylvania. Mr.. Dallas, who gave his
casting vote in favor Of the BILL and thus took upon
himself the responsibility for the passage of the
law Is pennsylvania. Mr. Buchanan, who is
represented to be now actively engaged in pre-
venting any alteration of the system, is another
we could mention numerous other cases, but
'nsse will probably suffice for the present.

For the Times
a REAUTlEIlL SENTIMENT

The late eminent Judge, Sir Allen Park, once
said in public meeting in London
eve live in the midst of blessings till we are utter
y nsensibe Of their greatness and of the source from
whence they flow. We speak OF our civilization, our
arts our freedom, our laws, and forget entirely how
large share due to Christianity. Blot Christianity
out Of the pages OF mans history, and what would his
laws have been-what his civilization? Christianity is
mixed up with very being and our daily life there
IS not familiar object around which does not
love is on t-not law which does notsowe its truth
and genteness to Chrstanity-not custom which can
not be traced, in all its holv heahiul parts to the
