THE WHIGs OF PRINcEss ANNE met in pub

slant, for the purpose of nominating a candidate
to represent the county in the mex: General AS
sembly. On the first ballot Col. Clayton B. A c.
kiss received majority of all the votes cast and
was declared to be the Wing candidate at the
coming election. Upon being informed of his
nomination, Col. Ackiss made his appearance,
and by invitation addressed the meeting. He
accepted the nomination, and invited the Whies
to come up unitedy and manully for the cause
on the day of election. The following resolu-
tons, which breathe the true Wing spirit were
then offered and unanimously adopted
Resolved, That the Wings of Princess Anne
cordially respond to the patriotic resolutions re-
Gently put forth by the Wings of Richmond-and
that while measures may be affected by time and
change, principles remain one and the same; and
whether in defeat or success, the Wings of
Princess Anne will adhere to the truly conserya-
tive and constitutional doctrines of the party
fully convinced that their maintenance is as ne-
cessary at the present, ut any former period of
our national existence.
Resolved, That the construction of lending
works Of Internal Improvement should beS OH,
the settled policy of Virginia. That we are in
tav or of judicious appropriations by the State, in
aid OF Individual enterprize especially towards
the completion Of the works now in an unfinished
state. Such policy being eminently calculated
to provide for gradual but certain extinction o
the public debt, to develope our resources, and
advance the State and individual prosperity.
Resolved, That the policy hero tofore pursued
by the Federal Government, in the management
and disposition of the Public Domain, has been
il!iberal and unjust towards the parene States of
the Union That Virginia should solicit what is
her due on every principle of law and justice--a
fair proportion of the lands now being lavished on
Western States and Corporations.
Resolved That the administration of Willard
Fillmore has been all that we as Americans and
Wings could desire; and that its honored chief
carries with him. in his retirement to private life
the admiration aud regard OF all true Whigs.

The last sentence, which we have taken the

Douglas that he is disciple of Young America:

compliment to the inaugural on the score OF
conciseness and cearness. We should bs glad

THE DOWN FALL OF TURKEY.

late number of the London Times contain,
leading article in which the editor contends
that Great Britain has now in the Levant inter
ests of far more direct and serious importance
than the abstract desire to prolong the existence
of a barbarous system of government which il
called the Turkish Empire, or the mere dread Of
the dissolution of that unweldy body.
The writer adds -
with the utmost political caducity, with q
total want of ability and integrity in the men
who are still its rulers, with declining Mussul-
man population and an exhausted treasury, the
Porte unites as if by way of derisory contrast, a
dominion some of the most fertile regions,
the finest ports, and the most enterprising and
ingenious people Of Southern Europe. In
Decd the signs of vitality still perceptible 10 its
ports and cities mainly attributable to the
commercial energy OF the mercantile population
in their transactions with other countries But
whenever. as is every day more probable the
feeble renaios of Turkish military and political
authority give way before any shock from with
in or from without, it is of essential consequence
TO our own interests that tine connexion which has
gradually been formed by the exchange of the
produce of the East for our manufactures should
not be impaired.
This point and the maintenance of a free
communication Dy the present overland route to
India two considerations upon which this
country will continue under all circum stances,
and nt all hazards, to lay tho greatest Stress
1t is scarcely necessary to add that if ever
change favorable to civilization and good govern
ment should be brought about in the East, both
these points susceptible of incalculabIe aug
mentatons and improvement; and althou Oh the
present generation may not live to see it, we
have no doubt that trade and traffic will one day
overthrow the military despotism of Turkish in
vasion, and restore to our faith and our ma-
ners those territories which were the finest pro-
vinces of the Roman Empire and the first scenes
of Christianity itself. Muhometan barbarism
has hung over them for centuries like q
curse, though even under the yoke of Turkish
Pashas the native population has retained, to
large extent its faith and its energy.
1t is hard to comprehend how so great posi-
tive evil can have been SO long defended by polls
ticians as relative good; and, though we are not
insensbe to the difficulties attending any change
in the territories of so huge empire, we are
disposed to view with satisfaction, rather than
with alarm, the approach of period vixen it will
be impossible to prolong the domination of
such government as that of tho Porte over
such country as that which is now subject to
its authority Perhaps that period is less distant
than is commonly supposed; and it may be the
part OF wise statesmen to provide against such
conjecture, which is beyond their power indef-
ntely to postpone.

~ We regret to learn that Gen. Lambert
Mayor OF the city. is still confined to his chamber
by indisposition. His health, which has been de-
Ginning for some months past has failed so rapidly
lately as to create uneasiness in the minds Of
his friends. We trust, however, that the return
OF the pleasant spring weather may exercise
wholesome and recuperatve influences, and
again restore him to health and to usefulness.
During Gen Lambert's illness, the duties of the
Mayornlty have been devoved upon james
Evans, Esq, Senior Alderman and we feel that
we are only discharging duty, when we say,
that he has filed the post in the most satisfactory
manner. He appears fully TO comprehend the
duties which devove upon the First Magistrate of
