So that, of the nine Democrats now in the represonta'ion, but tour are again before the people, viz. Messrs. M- Dowell, Meade, Bayly and Bocock.

We h ave no d >ubt litat our citizens—and the Ladies too—after so long an absence of any amusement, will be pleased to learn, that SWEENY ’S BAND of SABLE HARMONISTS, who have just returned from a trip to all llie large cities in the South, will open here on Monday night next, at the Masonic Hail. This is certainly the best travelling company in the L'nion, in every respect. It is seldom that we see socli an array of talent collected together. Eirst, let us men tion the name of OLD JOE—the head of llie Sable fam ily—who lias won fur himself an undying reputation in the musical world—a reputation of which no one can de prive him, as a Banjoman, and while we admit that lie deserves it, we must be permitted to say that, according to our judgment, he is one of the best performers on the violin it has ever been uor pleasure to hear. 'The next name which attracted our attention, on the bill of fare, was that of WILLIAM BARROW, the pride of tits company, who is a host in himsell, and it any who have tire “bluss” visit them and are not relieved, they can take our hat. The otiter members of the band are equally as talented in sustaining their respective parts.. They have procured the services of the Saunders Ama teur Brass Band, who will perform manyofthoir favorite and original pieces ot music. We had almost neglected to state, that the Sable Har monists, in the first part of their performance, will appear in while character, and introduce a variety of new songs. Mr. Barrow, tte understand, is the original of the greater part of them. Before closing, we must be permitted to say, that this band, when here several months past, did not meet, in our opinion, with the patronage which their performance and their exertions to please merited. 'To make amends ! for ihis, we hope they will be liberally patronized on this | occ“lon' R. o. R. Fur the ••Virginian.” Messrs.

A TRUE WHIG. ^anJy Level, Pittsylvania. gov. McDowell. The speech ot this gentleman on Friday last must have ordinary merit. No member of thf House ot Representatives, except John Quincy Ad ams, (and he chiefly on account of his venerable age.j ha* ever bet-re received the remarkable complimeut of being invited, by universal consent, to proceed after the e\ pi ru 'ion ot lx is hyur. We honored Governor McDow ell tur iii* firmness in refusing to be driven into the sig* na uieot Mr. Calhoun’s address; we honor him still m -re t .r ibis noble effort to save our glorious confederacy trom dissension and disaster. 1 he correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot writes as follows ot his speech; But alter him rose Governor McDowell, of Virginia, who made such a speech,on the same territorial question, as has st-lduin been listened to* in that or any other legis lative hall. It thrilled all hearts, and bathed in tears many a manly cheek. The Governor’s manner is e! » quent, his language is chaste and classic, while his seuti u its are conservative and patriotic. The whole House was spell-hound by his patriotic, earnest and persuasive appeals to all sections of this blessed Union, to bear and forbear with each other like patriotic brethren of the same good U -punlican family, f»r the gout of the whole. | He set out by remarking, that he was ready to support a bill for the government i f the newly* acquired territo ries similar to the one proposed to the Senate by the Sen ator from lllin« is, (Mr. Douglas,) or the one offered in Use House by Ins kinsman and culelague, (Mr. Pres* | ton.) I lie alluded in the utmost iusurm utntable difficulties encountered by the'fathers of the Revolution, to their hardships and toils and sufferings, wiili Washington at their head—to the great and noble achievement obtained — to the formation and adoption of the Constitution ami to its c unpr.imisrs, allowing the pigmy Sia e ot D elaware t • he equal1 v represented in the Senate of the United States, with the colossus of States* New York—to the sacrifices of Virginia for the good of the whole Union—to the stand in the cause < t freedom which Massachusetts and Virginia took, side by side and shoulder to shoulder — to the e loquent and powerful voice in freedom’s cause, of the older Adairs, and to the warning voice of the immortal W ashington, and then he appealed to all sec tions to staid by each other and to stand up all together I for the honor, renown and preservation of this mighty Un- | ion. He pictured, in vivid colors, the consequences ol ' a rebellion among the slaves of the Suith, which should ; be set on by the interference of those freed of slavery, and \ which should cause the blood of the people of the £uulh to fl »w upon their own soil and at their own firesides, and proclaimed that that blood would, like Abels’ cry from he ground for revenge and revenge would loll iw upon the pr^pi-trators of tint dreadful deed, though it should drain every remaining drop ul blood coursing in a South ern vein. >o unraptured were the members <>f the House, that when the Governor hail spoken his hour through, tFiey | paid him the high compliment never before paid but to one ! man, John Quincy Adams, of unanimously requesting him t> “go on..* . He most politely bowed to the House f >r the marked compliment and went on with his speech. He spoke, in all, an hour and twenty minutes. It was a • eeeh to be remembered by all who had the good fortune to listen to ii. In sentiment, it c* Responded with the! speeches which have been delivered up m the same vex v l question by Messrs Thompson of Indiana. Taylor of Ohio, Preston of Virginia, and Thompson of Kentucky. The discussion was continued by Messrs Putnam. Mann and oth* rs* POTOMAC. The editor of the Union says the speecnofGov. Mc Dowell is spoken of in such terms of enthusiasm as he feels delicacy in repeating, and adds that ‘-the unusual compliment paid by tin* House in waiving its hour rule and unanimously urging him to go on—the tears which run down the cheeks of many of the auditors— and other circumstances of which we have heard, attest the deep impression which was produced.” Th • Union publishes the f«.flow ing letter from a member of Congress. To*day the House went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union on the Post office appropriation bill, and Mr. Turner having made a speech against the southern addr<«;, the floor was taken by Gov. McDowell, for a speech upon the question of a Stale gov ernment for California. At the conclusion of his hour, the House, with one accord, called on him to proceed, and he continued to occupy the attention of the commit tee for three fourths of an hour longer, in delivering per Imps the most eloquent and effective speech delivered in the Representatives hall. Many members were in tears, and among them the Speaker ot the House. (Mr. \\ iu throp.) more than once during the delivery of his speech. For a quarter of an hour afier he had concluded, so great was the sensation in the hall that no business was done 'Fite committee then rose,but on motion, the House a. gain went into committee and Mr Putnam made a speech. The members went to dinner at three,with the understan ding that there would bo speeches made for Buncombe until a late hour to-night. 1 never in my life heard such a speech as that of Gcv ernor McDowell. I will not attempt to describe it. Mr -,a Whig member, remarked to me at its conclusion, when his face was still wet w ith tears, on seeing-at tempt to get the floor: *‘W ell, who would have thought that a in?n smart enough to get to Congress, is-tool enough to want to follow such a speech as that just de livered .
