WHAT WILL THEY SAY AT RICHMOND I'VE
call the attention of the Richmond Why to th'
following extract from the Times of yesterday
It has a heretical squirt about itsome how OIL
other:
We have nm immense amount Of property
THAT Is niggerNl in the East exempted from
taxation, without any corresponding amount
whatever exempted in the West. Inc lands a q,
stock Of the West are taxed III full while the
main element of taxation in the East that
aiggeysl to large extent, goes free Of taxation
That's all sound doctrine, but il appears odd
to find such talk up on Monroe street Perhaps
the Whig will conclude that the Intelligence
and tho NEelIsburg HerutI are not "sinnersab
all they who dwell in Jerusalem"

Az ANr1.LlNIGnAT1oN MEETING Down AT Guy
ASDorrE.-Our readers will remember that some
time ago we published notice Of a meeting
which had been held down at Guyandotte,
which meeting passed resolutions expressive Of
their sympathy with, and their cooperation in
the immigration movements of Eli Thayer.--
Another meeting of the 'iper eOntrd" kind has
been held, which passed blood and thunder res
olutions, breathing death and destruction to the
project. From the published proceedings NC
learn that the President having explained the
object of the meeting, in lucid and satistarto
nv manner, the Hon. a. G. jenkins being res.
iient of the county, though not of the town,
was requested to participate in the meeting,
and address the body, and the eloquent and
mastery manner in which he explained the de-
formity of this Abolition scheme, reviewed its
origin and its history, and traced its ultimate
tendencies, brought conviction to all who heard
him.
Do our readers know anything about this
man Jenkins9 We'll, for fear they do not, wc
will tell them that he is an n. G., n grecnM G.,
just elected, but not swornin. He is young yet,
and belongs to the abstraction school, the
school whose eSneeia1 dcl0ht it is TN tall 's.'at'
caIIy and unmeaningly about States rightism,
when, if nine.tenths of them were put to their
trumps, they couldn't give as lucid an exposition
of their creed, as the Scotchman did of meta
physics, whose definition was that "whena man
talks about something that he don't understand
himself and which his hearers don't understand
either, why then that is metaphysics" It is just
such menas this Hon. A. G. Jenkins, whoare day
by day dwarfng and discouraging every attempt
at enterprise in the: State. They hover about
like birds Of prey, and underline mask of poll
tics, eat out the vitals Of the State and Cypress
the people with grieyious .burthens. Docs a
question of any kind come up, calculated to
promote the interests of the people,-say the
common school question, OH! it is unconstitu-
tiolal, its anti-nigger. Thus they pirate because
they think tho peoples rO green and ignorant
enough to believe IL Did they not find itprofi-
table to talk 81, the whole pack and litter of
them would soon turn about face. We hope to
livet6see the day whom all such demagogueism
will be effectually wiped out bcfor The advancing
intelligence Of thepcOplc.

Tug HEMPIIELD Roar. LIN less than week,
it is calculated, tho cars viii be running from
this city to the town of Washington. This,
when we consider the history Of this road, is
the first tpngble result of its tedious and uufor-
tunate life Like the temple of Solomon, it has
promised to be the work of generation, and
has, at this stage of its existence, already pass
cd through those two phases of railFoadismr
known as original and preferred stock. Whether
after this completion to Washington, it is to be
couponed with any other bdrthens, is matter
which will rest partly with the management, and
partly with tho business success of the running
operations When we consider the country
through which Il passes, and which it viii
attach to its patronage, we cannot see how o.
why 1t will not receive such an impetus as viii
sooner or later carry il on to triumphant com
pletion at Grcensburg. Mover, we venture, ii
those days OF railroad cxtravagancics, has {
road had moro TO rctard it-morc disadvantage
arraycd against the best incipient prospects
than has the He,npfeld. Its stock, once rating
as No. one, could have been sold to the very
best advantagei in the market, but was suffered L
become the Football of the spectators, andwa
kicked about over the country until every yes
tige of animation had well nigh Disappeared
It seemed to be dragged down to death by tina
evil genius which seemingly presided over a
the moves of our city IN railroad matters, for 4
all it was an insolublc mystery, why such un
toward success could attend an enterprise start
ed under such promising auspices. II is no
necessary for us, in this connection, to probe tn
old sore, and bring up again the details attending
the projection Of the Hempicld. tits tendc
subject, and now inthe dawning of better days
we feel disposed to bury It deepin Oblivion. It'll
