The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun says, that the speech of Mr. Rev
erdy johnson, on the Retrocession scheme,
proved conclusively to every uHprejudiced mind
the perfect constitutionalty of the act in ques-
ton, and the extreme difficulty and conflict
of jurisdiction that would arise in case the act
was repealed The people of Alexandria, by a
vote of nearly five TO one, had accepted the re-
PROCESSION, and there were now on their table
petitions signed by three thousand persons pro,
testing against the repeal. Mr.. johnson also
proved that in case the act was repealed, the
Senators from West Virginia would hold their
seats by precarious tenure, as the pretended
consent of the State of Virginia to the separa-
ton was made by the Alexandria Legislature
representing some half dozen counties. If the
retrocession act was void and Alexandria had
always belonged to the District, then no one
could contend that the Legislature sitting there
had the power or right to give the consent Of
Virginia to the disintegration of the State.
