lliclimosMl, Va., Tm Mlav, Od, 80. JUDGE BARBOUR'S LETTER. The following Letter was not received in time to *o in all the impressions of our Friday’s paper.—We republish it, therefore, from our 2d Edition, for the benefit of such subscribers ns lmvo not scon it. Wo fear it is almost too late to reach the distant borders of tho Commonwealth—and that therefore the sup porters of Judge Harbour in those quarters may vote for his ticket, niift that even in other parts of Virginia liis friends may still stick to him. Wo know not wluit may be the amount of this division—and of Course, thu extent of injury which the split ticket may -continue to do to the Jackson cause. Under such circumstances, we call upon every friend of Jackson to arouse himself, to run no risks—and turn out to the polls on Monday next. Let every inan do his •duty—and give a “long pull, uud a strong pull, and a pull all together,” in hchnlf of the Legislative Tic ket. Let all of them trim their lamps—for tho day is at hand: To the Editors of the Richmond,Enquirer: Cuaulotteivillc, Oct. 21, 18.12. Sir»:—I have received the following communication Irani Judge Harbour, which you are requested to publish. Very ra«pectfully, yours, THOMAS W. GILMER. October 24th, 1832. Sir: I beg leavo through you, as the Chairman of the Corresponding Committee of the Convention, which met In Charlottesville in June last, to make known to my friends in Virginia, my feelings and wishes, in relation to the tlivided Electoral Ticket lately presented lo the people ■of Virginia. I am aware, that under the circumstances in which the Committee were placed, and the resolution of the Convention, under which they acted, they could not have acted otherwise, than they did. Recent events however, have excited deep solicitude in my bosom, in relation to that subject. Within a very few days, and just upon the eve of the election, I perceive the Opposition prints, in various quarters congratulating them selves, upon (bis division in our ranks, nud cxultingly an ticipatiug a triumph from that cause. If, as these prints seem lo suppose, their anticipated triumph should be re alized—if, in consequence of the divided ticket, it should happen, that tho vote ol Virginia should be lost to the pre sent Cliiel Magistrate, it would be to me, a source ol the deepest regret.—For, Irom the commencement, I have been opposed lo taking any course, which would in any slogrce endanger his re-election. In this sentiment, 1 am persuaded, that my friends concur. Indeed, I know, that some ol^ those, who were most active in the Char lottesville Convention, did concur. I may add, that there, as well as elsewhere, where my name has been pre sented to the public, the proceedings and resolutions, have all hern confirmatory of this idea. Nor, do I consider this new ticket as indispensably ne cessary to the attainment of the object which my friends propose. For, if from tl»e course ol other States, there should seem to he a reasonable prospect of my election, 1 think (hat the Electors nominated by thu Legislature would in that event vole for me. II,on the contra ■ry, from the developements in oilier Slates, the pros pect of my election should appear hopeless, then the electoral vote of Virginia, even if the ticket nomina ted in my favor, should succeed, would be unavailing as "it respected me. Under these circumstances, it is my wish, that my Iriends throughout the Commonwealth, should vote for the Legislative lickct. I do not presume to dictate to them; hut, I feel assured, 1hat they will receive these suggestions, in (lie spirit in which they arc made. I indulge the hope, that, in the present posture of political allairs, they will agreo with me as to the propriety of this course. If, however, they, -or any portion of them, should entertain a different opinion, I appeal lo their candor and sense of justice, for a correct appreciation of the motives, which have induced mo to -make this communication. With sentiments of esteem, I remain yours respectfully, _ , P. P. HARBOUR. To T. W. Gilmer, Esq., Chairman, fyc. illl', CHARLOTTESVILLE “JUNTA!” We lay before our readers the following Address from the self-constituted Junta of four—with very lit tle note or comment. The letter of Judge Bar liour blows their project out of water—and besides, the author of Common Sense bus undertaken to cri ticise their extraordinary production. We venture to say, that he will give a good account of them. Messrs. Gilmer 6c Co. are so courteous as not to “‘stop to enquire whence they (the Central Commit tee at Richmond) derive their authority to super intend your affairs.” If they had stopped to ask the •question, the answer would have been at hand.— The Central Committee derived their “authority” to Address the people, from a commission entrusted to them by a Convention of the Representatives of the people of Virginia. They gave this commission According to the long-established usage of the Re publican party—and according to the same usage, the Committee deemed it their duty to address the People. The Central Committee have always done and they saw no reason in the present case to •depart from the custom. Not even the terrors of the Charlottesville Convention of 31, or the Central ) ^ ommittce of that Convention, or any fragment of that Committee., could deter them from the dis charge el their Duty. If they are asked, why only .the Hatties ol seven of their body, a hare majority, are Attached to their Address, the answer is to lie found in the prevalence of the Cholera in this City, nnd other circumstances, which scattered the Commit tee and delayed their Address. So much fertile Legislative Convention—for the “seven wise men of Richmond”—or as they are otherwise called “the Richmond Junta.” We will not stop to enquire, from how many of the People *hnt burlesque upon nil Conventions, the Charlottes ville Assembly ol 31, derived tlierr commission—or, whence this Charlottesville J'unta of the four wise men derived their uutiiority to address « The People tf Virginia? Nor will we stop at this time to analyse their Ad dress. We have no room to-day to expose their so phistries or their errors—their “ false doctrines, heresies and schisms.”—The author of Common tSense will do full justice to tlieir false reading of the Hhoc.co reply—their “ remembering to forget” Mr. V . Huron s subsequent confession of his regret upon the Cumberland Road Vote—just as lie exposes in this day’s paper tlieir desperate and ridiculous mis calculations of tho votes for Vice President—He will duly expose their errors and their “artifices.” Be it our part to touch only two passages of their Address. The long article which wo publish to day, concerning the late war, brings one of these passages to our notice—and the allusion to ourselves makes it proper that we should notice the other: 1st. Do, or do not these Four “members, (the dis jecta memhra)oft)tv ( liarhittesville Convention,” menu to say, flint this Convention did not charge Van Btt ren with opposition to the War? First, they tell us that “the Charlottesville Convention charged Mr. Van Huron with haring opposed the. administration of Mr. Madison, and with voting against his re-election in 181‘J.” Then, that the Iteptihlicnn party of N. York “opposed the re-election of Mr. Madison, just at the commencement of the war—nnd why did Mr. Van Huron vote with'them?” And lastly, they taper off with the declaration, that “the Charlottesville Convention did not charge Mr. Van Huron with per tAJ, ^l'* opposition lo the administration of Mr. Maduunii &r. |)o, or do fliry not to Ki«y, that Van Huron was opposed to the war—or, do they trust to inueudo to make such an impression ?

Horn llt« intieiido is much stronger, nml the im pression it would make upon every mind is almost irresistible, that they menul to charge him with op position to the Waf. and to involve him in the just odium of the Hartford Convention. Hut, whether ! they meant it then, or would uisiiiuuto or disclaim it j now, the charge is unjust—grossly unjustifiable—osi appears by the triumphant Exposition which we publish this day of M. V. IPs splendid exertions during the whole war. yd. Wo ask no man to father our sins—and there fore wo would relievo our colleagues of so much of : the address ns stutes that “iho ink l.ift not been long \ dry with which one ol the seven recorded the decla- j ration that ho could not support him.”—This deli onto hit is levelled at the humble |m*ii which sketch* ! es these hasty linos.—We do not charge these Ad dressers with the “artifice,” for passing over the satis I factory explanation which has long been made upon j this very subject. Yet we will not repeat what every reader of this paper ought to have known—and which wo hoped, hud satisfied every ingenuous ' mind.—But enough: TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA. Von have been solemnly invoked, thrmij>h tbc medium j of a labored essay of tour columns in the Richmond Em ! quircr, which Ims been ushered under the imposing «anc i tion ol seven individuals, to vole at ilie approaching Pre«i I dential Election, for a Ticket of Electors, who have re ; fused to obey your will in this election, however clearly | it may lie declared to them at the polli.—Had these indi 1 viduals been content to lavish fulsome paneg) rics on their favourite candidate for the Vice Presidency, or had they only commended the sound democracy of their favorite Electors to your confidence, wc.should not liavu questioned their privilege to do so. Hut when they undertake to arraign >11 those, who cannot, like themselves, discern the peculiar claims ol Mr. Van Hurru at this time, to the confidence of Virginia, and who will not yield even an implied assent to the dangerous doctrines ot these Electors, or submit tamely to the systematic intrigues, by which it has been attempted to foist a Vice Prexideut on a r eluctant People; i wo would ask to be heard, not for our humble selves, but in vindication of thoss rights ami pr inciples which we trust arc still appreciated by our countrymen. will not plead to the jurisdiction of the seven, who have thus erected themselves into a political bench of oyer and terminer, nor will wc stop to enquire whence they de rive their authority to superintend your affairs. In times of high party excitement, tire mask of patriotism often co vers the selfish designs of ambition, and they who venture to acquit attd to condemn the motives of others, should stand lar above the reach of suspicion. While these in quisitors aflect to proclaim the truth, er cathedra, in relation to public affairs, may they trot themselves be the victims of prejudice and error, or the Instruments of superior in trigue in practising delusion on others? It were well, then, that these seven wise men of Richmond, had shown their own warrant for the high prerogative they have assumed, before thoy demanded that of the Charlottesville Conven tiorr. Though that Convention was composed of only thirty-one individuals; they came from the ranks of fh"e people; from a portion (however small) of tho Republicans ol Virginia.—And they did presume to speak freely both of public measures and public men, without once dread ing, lest by so doing llicy might incur the displeasure ol the renowned seven, or offend “the feelings ofan amiable gentleman.” When they bad the temerity to differ with “ •he Convention of three hundred and forly seven mem bers,” who came from all the corners, and all tbc parties of the United States, into flic political ark of Haltimore, they were encouraged to do so, by the old-fashioned faith i of their Fathers, which was not wont to he stitched to the sleeves of the federalists of New England, or of the ullra Tariffmen of New York—or of “Honest George Krenier,” of Pennsylvania. When they ventured to speak of “Ameiican Patriotism,” “Virginia Republicanism,” and j written “Constitutions,” they knew that thus* were un welcome sounds in the ears of many, which had already been filled with the harmony of “American Systems,” “New York Republicanism,” ami “violated Constitutions.” That the Charlottesville Convention, in all this, were vr ry presumptuous, is manifest from the indignation of the veil* It is strange, however, that the “false doctrines, heresies anil schisms” of the t harlottesville Convention were not exposed hy the seven, until four months had elapsed, and you were about to assemble at the polls. If the “detec tion of their aberrations lay so immediately at hand,” why has the task been so long postponed, or so bunglingly per formed? You havo hitherto been accustomed to hear nothing hut excuses from the republicans in our latitude, who have felt constrained by hard necessity to vote for M r. Van Ruren as Vice President. In<lped the ink has not been long dry with which one of these same seven recorded the declara tion, that lie would not support him. Rut you are told hy these guardians of Virginia principles, that it is no longer accident or necessity which recommends Mr. Van Ruren to your confidence, over your own gifted and faithful fel low-citizen, Judge Harbour. They assure you, that he is “fully worthy of our confidence,” that he is the child of the democracy of the country, whose tenets he has adher ed to with unfaltering fidelity.” " c might here pause, and in our turn demand some proof of these reckless assertions. We might ask if that proof lias been furnished by the late reply ot Mr. Van Ru ren, to the Shocco Meeting in North Carolina. Does it exist in his assertion of the constitutionality of a protect- : ing Tariff, by which he thus reduces that fearful question j to one of mere expediency? FatuJ and dear-bought ex perience lias already-shown, how such questions are solved by ruthless ami irresponsible majorities. Mr. Van Ruren’s votes in 1827, and 1828 have furnished his solu tion. ^Is the proof of these assertions found in Mr. Van Huron's opinion, that Congiess have power to appropriate money in aid ol objects of Internal Improvement? Will (lie seven sponsors of Mr. Van Buren's orthodoxy “put their fingers on the clause of the Constitution” which j warrants such appropriations? Will they shew you, his j warrant from the letter or I lie spirit of t lie Constitution, tor his vote to erect toll-gates on the Cumberland road within the jurisdiction of a State? Does Mr. Van Ruren complain of the injustice which the Charlottesville Convention have done him on these subjects? If lie does, let him complain lo the people of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York—and they will un derwrite his orthodoxy. Rut the Charlottesville Convention charged Mr. Van Huron with having opposed the administration of Mr. ‘ Madison, and with voting against his re-election in I 1N12. Ilow has the charge been repelled by tlie , Richmond junta? 1 hey coulees that lie did vote lor , !>«.* Witt Clinton, and extenuate the act hy declar- j ing that Mr. Clinton was “a man of di<tinguished ability," J | and “at that time the pillar ol the Republican party of N. j York.” \\ by did these Republican* oppose the rc-clec- I lion of Mr. Madison just at the commencement of the I War, and why did Mr. Van Ruren vote witli them? lie j did not then act with the Republicans of Virginia. We have his own testimony, that lie does not now agree witli ! them, on the two most essentially vital measures of Feder- I ibe Tariff, and Internal Improvements. These measures i al policy, viz: The levying and disbursing of imposts, or are the twin offspring ol Federal usurpation—yet lie who 1 advocates both, is recommended to you by those who pre- • tend to denounce both, as an “orthodox and unfaltering Republican.” r I lie Charlottesville Convention did not charge Mr. Van Ruren with persisting in his opposition to the admi nistration of Mr. Madison or in his support of Mr. Clin ton; lor, like his seven sponsors, lie was never suspected of resting long in a minority. If ifialno/l I....I.I.. I... „_.1. _i .1_ , ■ . -: j .e> ^,„w<ru | who could not see the orthodoxy of Mr. Van Huren a* 1 they see it, these seven individuals had shewn tiiat any ; injustice had hcen done hy the Charlottesville Convention,1 to them or to others, it would have been promptly atoned lor. It was never the design of Judge Harbour’s friends, to recommend his orthodoxy to the people ol his native State, |»y preferring groundless accusations against his competitors. His claims to your contidenee need no arti fice to sustain them. They are acknowledged even by those who are constrained hy a stiangc necessity to vo'e for Mr. Van Buren. For it is a fact, which the future histori in of our times may not adequately explain, that j while Judge Harbour’s orthodoxy renders him entirely I acceptable to a vast majority ot the people of Virginia, the Legislative Caucus would not he prevailed on, either to nominate or recommend him, nor will the Electors nomi- > naled hy that caucus and recommended so earnestly by * the seven patrons of .Mr. Van Huren, consent to vote lor him though you should so instruct them. Von have seen that the friends of Judge Barbour never designed to draw a line of division among the liicnds of the present administration in Virginia. They disregard- • ed Die refusal of the Legislative Caucus to nominate him, ' and sacrificed the distrust which this circumstance was calculated to inspire, for the sake of scrupulously preserv- j ing the unity of the parly. They adhered to the caucus ticket until they were assured that it would not he com pelled l»y yotir mandate to become the organ of your will in the election. When they weicthus finally driven at a late period of the canvass to nominate a separate ticket of ] electors, which stand pledged to vote for Andrew Jackson : and Philip P. Harbour, (hey are taunted with havingsown j dissension among the Mends of the administration. Why j is there any division? Let those answer who will vote I for a ticket which obeys the secret, cabalistic instructions j of a caucus, rather than your will, publicly declared at the polls. i You are now warned by Mr. Van Huren’s Mends not j to vote for Judge Harbour, who is recommended to your confidence by every political tie, lest yon curry the elec tion of Vice President to the Senate. Has i#bern shown j • hat you will avoid this result hy voting for Mr. Van Hu | reii? If it has not, it then become* a question, whether you will aid in carrying Judge Harbour or Mr. Van Huren | to that body. If you ronrede to Mr. Van Huren all the hlecloral votes which have been claimed for him, and he- j stow on him your own in addition, do you not still carry i him to that Senate which he so much dreads? It is the rot.“eiousness that Judge Harbour, and not Mr. Sergeant or Mr. Van Rurnn, will he elected, If the choice devolves on the Senate, which inspires the friends of the latter with «iicii horror of that body. You are admonished, however, I j hy the supporters of Mr. Van Buren, that it is vain to be I | sfow your sufTiagcs on Judge Harbour, that he cannot be j vU'ctad. iVliy* Wlicro is (ho «up«rior strength of Mr. Van Burcn.' A lew days will give the answer; and it will be seen (lint while he is no where a choice, there are few ol (be people of (be United States, who will submit to the necessity ol voting for him. 11 is orthodoxy has not found favor with the great mass of the American people, though it has been attempted by the juntas of Richmond and Al bany, to render it necessary lor the Iriends of more popu lar and more orthodox men to elect him. We w ill not at tempt to calculate or to manage Judge Barbour Into the esteem ol his countrymun. The principles of political jus tice and truth are lixed: they do not ebb and thwv with ma jorities hr minorities; and we are satisfied to abide the re sult ol your drliberato decision, where the interests, the principles, the honor of our common country are «n deep ly involved. TUGS. W. GILMER, NATH’L. wolf, CM AS. W. i ARTER. JAS. W. SAUNDERS. Members of the Charlottesville Convention. I lie Opposition are plying every engine that they can employ, for the success of their cuusc. They nre bringing all their allies into the field for the No vember election. They have got up letters from ex-governor Schultz, ex-secretary Ingham, Commo dore Tucker, of Maine, the renegades Wiekliffe, and Duniel of Kentucky; and they have even evoked “A voice from the tomb of William Penn.” They have enlisted all the prostituted presses in the country— and arrayed the apostates, Stephen Simpson, Duff Green, Webb of N. York, and Morris of Philadel phia, on their side—hut ull the coalitions in the world cannot save their ship from sinking. Old Hickory against the held! He will bout Clayism, uud Anti Masonry, the Hank, and all its Swiss mercenaries, on every debatable ground. He will win the day in Pennsylvania and in N. York, in Ohio and Kentucky, and all the Hist. The people will prove too strong for ull the Opposition. On the Jtlert. • We have received the Proceedings of the Corres ponding Jackson committees in Smyth, Augusta, and Fauquier counties. They ull pledge themselves to the support of the Legislative ticket. There is no mistaking the signs of the times. If the people turn out, that ticket will prevail by an overwhelming majority. It Would have easily beaten both the other tickets put together.—Hut to the Polls! to the Polls! and let us show those gentlemen who count upon our divisions, that ull their “poleccy” will uoi avail them, 'l'lie Clny-men nre “up and n-doing.” They will put forth all their strength. With a better cause than they serve, shull wo display less zeal in behalf' ol it? No, no; let us cope with them—and Ictus conquer them. 1 he Clay-men iu N. Carolina aro pursuing the same policy, which their compatriots iu Virginia aro employing. Divide et impera, is their countersign. “The Craven county Jackson committe,” have pub- j fished a confidential Circular of the “Craven countv Anti-Jackson committee”—in which, they remind their friends of the split ticket—tell thorn that “all who nre opposed to the re-election of Jackson, will vote for our ticket, while those in favor of his re-' election, will he divided pretty equally between the Barbour and Van Bnreu tickets,”—mid call upon them to rouse up ill every part of N. Carolina, and make “vigorous and animated efforts to bring out our entire strength nt the polls, under the assurance, that ■ success, til nigh not certain, is by no means despc rate.” Hut it will not nil do.—The Jackson and Van Hureu ticket will there, too, beat the field. Tho Ilnleigh Star heads one of its Editorials,! “ tron Buren opposed to the War”—and then quotes the positive declaration of that most contemptible j paper, 111 he N, \ ork Advocate,” for the verification of its position. “ That paper (says the Star) has j more than once solemnly averred, (and, us fur as we ; have seen, no .Veto York paper has had the hardi hood to deny it,) that ‘Mr. Van Buren (£/*■ was i NOTORIOUSLY OITOSED TO THE LATE WAR, and IPOS highly instrumental in sustaining a candidate opposed to that measure and to Mr. Madison.’ “The most ig norant politician amongst us knows, that the sup port of the war was the touchstone of republican-1 ism; and by it the lines of demarcation were drawn ' between parties.”—/* it possible that the Star reads so little that it has never seen the Documents which refute this charge against Mr. Van Buren—or huv- | ing seen them, that it should remember toJbrget them? Will this most “obsequious and complaisant friend” of Governor Branch,—this Editor who disguises his bate for V. B. under his love for I*. I*. Barbour, read tho proofs which we have published in this day’s paper—and will he do the justice to V. B., and to the Committee, to spreud them befqre his ren- 1 dors? The “most ignorant politician” will then sea, that V. B. comes up fully to his “ touchstone of re publicanism”—and that if there be n single act iti ! his whole life, of which he may he proud, it is his zealous and brilliant support of the War. Acta York.—We have a letter from N. York of the 25th, which confirms all our previous advices : “We shall do our duty in this State. There is no danger of our Electoral Ticket; and the Opposition in sub stance give it up. But the question of Governor is not so clear, though we expect to succeed in electing 1 Judge Marry by n small majority. Local questions interfere with this result, that cannot influence the | vote upon the Election. I have no doubt we shall succeed even in tho election of Governor. The Op position have lost their money upon Ohio and Penn sylvania—and they are fast losing their spirits. The new arrangement of our Congressional Districts will secure us over 30 members opposed to the Bank of tho U. 8., if we calculate correctly upon the strength of the Districts—and front present appear ances in other States, there will be a majority in the next House of Representatives against the Bank, i This is a moral lesson to tho Corruptionists, we hope, | they will profit by.” Quick Timet It serai*, that the Legislature of South Carolina is to call the Convention during the last week—that the mem bers ol the Convention are to be elected on Ibe 12th and 13tb November—tbe Convention to meet on the 19di, ami (be Legislature to meet again on the 2Gth, to consummate Nullification. Thus “the issue with tbe General Govern ment” is to.be made up, as Ibe Governor says, "before the meeting of Congress’*—-ThU Is quirk work for carrying through such an extreme measure, by the ngenry of a single State, out ol 24, and where tbe population of that single Stale is much divided—as (be last eleetions prove, in the ratio of 25,913 to 17,159—not quite 9,000 majority ! Is there not need of a little more deliberation, in such a great emergency? *>7ft available C a adulate.' —1 he Opposition Hro Irvins to effect by policy, what they cannot obtain by plain, ,1,. reel and avowed measures. Wher* Wirt is strong, they vote lor Wirt—w|,cre Clay is the star in the ascendant, they go tor him—where a doubt exists which is the strong est, or where they ran huckster one oilier tor another they run »n Anti-Jackson ticket. The great plan of the Campaign is, to defeat the voice of the 1‘cople and transfer the election to the If. of It.—There they ex pect to carry the day hy “intrigue, bargain and man agement.' —A suitable means Jor such a cause! That “sweet little fellow'' ol the Charlestown “Free Press’' (we have never applied it to Mr. Van Horen hut we cheerfully transfer the title to this Editor, if ho will tfcar It) is very lacetious about the split ticket. \\ c con gratulate him upon his spirits, and will he happy to *ee “those laugh who lose.”—The. aforesaid Editor aim is sure that, “In no event, can Mr. Van Horen he elected hy the’ people, unless all indications are deceptive."—JVous per rons.— He will he very apt to find, that all his indications arc deceptive. A Washington Correspondent ol ilm N. Y. Journal of Commerce is much elated by the split ticket in Virginia— Me asks; “Is this new feature in the canvass seen or known in New York ? It is one of portentous hearing. Nothing can save to General Jackson the vole of Virginia, but the. prompt and absolute withdrawal of Marlin Van Huren. ’—hat does this w isearre say to Judge Harbour’s I.etier?—Does he not find that the “hoot is on the other leg? A Virginian in the lower country, who writes in the Alexandria Gazette, a violent diatribe against Jarkson_ avers that “as an American, he was mortified_as a Vir ginian humiliated” at Ins election—invokes the people to vote against him. “ Could my voire (says he) he heard, > I would appeal to Virginians in the solemnity of earnest ; obsecration.”—Such a voice might indeed he heard, hut who would understand the language which it employs’ ! wrho will interpret such gibberish?

At a meeting ot the Jackson Corresponding Committee for the county of Cumberland, held on the 23d day ol October, 1832, at tho Court-house, it hoiligCourt day, tho following preamble and resolutions were adopted: I his Committee cannot but view with intense Ice lings, the di*i<.ac(ing, and alarming divi-ion* in the It* publican rank* ol the Southern poitiouol the L'nited St iles, which, lining Inn one common interest, are pursuing ditlerent rojdr to attain the same object, viz: the overthrow ol the system which seeks to impose onerous exactions upon tho labor ol one por.ion ol the community for the benefit ot another. Whilst our feelings arc altogether Southern, and would revolt at thu idea of submitting to the priuci ple ol hurthening our industry, for the solo purpose of protecting the Manufacturer* of other States, we must deeply lament that a portion of our brethren in South Carolina ami Georgia, respectable both for numbers and talents, should think it proper, without concert with thrir fellow-siiHerer* in their sister States, to take the remedy into their own hands, and threaten to redress their wrongs, by what is familiarly called Nullification. In this state ot things, we look to the re-election of our well-tried, and t-iilhlul President, Andrew Jackson, a* the best means at restoring harmony in thu Republican family, re-uniting our broken phalanx, ami thereby enabling us to breast the storm ol sinister legislation, which destroys our peace, ami lim'd ultimately involve our beloved country in civil war, ami disunion, unless a returning sente of justice shall govern the course of our cppressoi 9. Resolved therefore. That our confidence in the wisdom ntid patriotism *<t our venerable President, Andrew Jack son, is iiudiininished, ami that our best exertions will lie employed to piomote his election by all proper means. Resolved, i tut while we accord to Philip P. Harbour, the native sou of Virginia, every thing that can be claim ed tor him as a politician, orthodox in his principles, and undev iatiug in his Republican course, throughout a long peiiod of public service; yet, we know too well from eve ry source ol information that is accessible to u«, that the pro-peel of his election to the Vice Presidency, is utterly hopeless, and that every ellbrt to promote it, could have no other eflect than to aid our political enemies in taking the election out of the hands ol (he people, the only sale depository ot their liberties, and carrying it into the Se nate ot the United States—a body not constituted upon the principles ot equal representation; in a great measure irresponsible to llir people; known to he regardless ot the principles of equal rights among tho several members ol the compact; and opposed to (lio demand* of justice from the Southern SfRle*, who ask nothing but the liuits of their own lalor, buitlietlM with their just proportion ol the expenses of the Government, according to the term* and provisions of that compact. Resolved, That whits we do not consider Martin Van Buren, as a politician free from objection, to tho advocates of Southern rights and Southern interests, we mtiat he allowed to say, that hi* political course has hern much misrepresented; that lie has upon various occasions, both in the councils ot his native State and upon the tloor of Congress, shown himself an aide, ami zealous -advocate ot Republican principles, and the rights ot the States; and dial our prospect of success in rescuing the Constitution from the desolating hands of the advocates of lulitiidinous construction, consolidation ami monarchy, w ill be much brighter in his hands, than in those of John Sergeant, wd'o, as tar as we know and believe, is an iiltra-Fcderalist of thu old School; an advocate for the broadest construc tion of the Constitution, giving all the power to the Gen ®f , ,?V£l?,.n.cn* Rrci*c<l latitudinarian ever claimed; hlching from the hard earnings of the agricul tural States every cent that the heaviest tariff ever passed would wrest Irom them; Internal Improvement in its greatest extent by thu General Government; in short, go ing all lengths in support of every measure (hat is opin es stve to the Southern States, and thwarting ns in every measure w e propose for die redress of our grievances. Resolved, That no art or management of our enemies, or deluded friends, can deceive us into a belief that the contest for the Vice Presidency, rests any where, but be tween Martin Van Huron and John Sergeant; and, con sequently, every vote given to any other candidate than V an Huron, is calculated, as far an it goes, to carry the election into the Satiate, and thereby to piomote the elec tion of Sergeant. Ill addition to Inc foregoing proceedings, this committee beg leave to suggest, that there is another view which it becomes the friends ol Jackson to take of this subject._ Though we cannot believe, if the sense of the people could he fully taken, there would appear to be near one third of the qualified voters of the Slate, in the Opposition, yet, considering our own siipiuciiuss, and the extreme ac tivity ol nur opponents, it is not impossible, if they unite on on.; of their tickets, that they may give it a larger vote than either of the Jackson tickets can get, taken separately. The consequence would he, that the vote of Virginia would be given against Gen. Jackson, and in favor of the Opposition candidate—that is, (it requires no sagacity to say,) in lavor ol the Clay and Sergeant ticket. For, he it remembered, ami let it be seriously pondeied, tint two Jackson tickets being for different electors, could not be united in counting the votes for President. Are his friends willing to risk such a consequence, in their scramble for the comparatively insignificant object, the Vice Presiden cy ? Resolved, That the editors of the Richmond Enquirer, and Constitutions! Whig, are requested to publish these proceedings in their respective papers. RANDOLPH HAURIhON, Chairman.

A SHORT APPEAL TO THEJA^sS?.?^ The election ol Presidential Llrclora Is now approxi mating—A short time, aud it will have closed. Be awake: Be on the alert: Be up and a-doing. Division is attempt cd in your ranks. The Barlmur men are striving to with draw your support from Van Buren, which would he iu effect withdrawing it from Jackson himself. Suppose iU vote of Virginia at the Presidential election lo he 80 000 of this number lo he given lo Jackson i 18.000 lo Barbour, and 32.000 to Clay. In such an event Clay would gel the electoral vote of Virginia, when there roe , r VJ°ri,y^ ,6l"°° W'"" ... majority ot 16.000 for Jackson.

They proles, great zeal, attachment and devotion lo Jackson. But ask your selves, how long has this been Ihe case? How long is it since many of then, w ere in the Clay ranks?

In our movements, let us depend upon ll.ose who have long acted ttl! 1 judicious aful able Oeneral deprnds upon veteran., rather than upon new rccruils. Dcacrte,s ere always suspicious. These Barbour men ah„«e Van Buren—they abuse all I* lvl„ nn go with them.

Many of them know not what they do. when they declaim against an turn.. Van Buren was serving Ins country, when they were m their swaddling-clothes-in their cradles. I hey Jell yon, he was opposed to Ihe war. It is not so: he sustained all the war measures, with a zeal, ability ami constancy, wh.ch tested his patriotism; which proved his uncompromising devotion to iris country. He went against i ic ot.ijori y of his .State—superior numbers in the Legis lature of New York, of Which body he was **n ember, In sustaining the war, and all the war measures. j It ii ro illy <n'l«*.ir tin* new feel pour out their | vituperation upon the Klveton nominated hy our I-egl-Ia ! live Caucus, beesuse they will not agree 19 be instructed before they are elected: and ) 11 the jam.- breath, while reading their prolix and drugging sentences, contleinn ?an £11 re 11 for obediettee to insiruciion* from hi* consti tuents—In Voting lor the Tariff of 1828.

Such inconsistency the people w ill see—the people will condemn. They will he unwilling to trust those who shew such contradiction to themselves.

TO THE EDITORS OF THE E.YQU/HLH. (•EXTLEVEK ;—It is doubtless with vou, as it 1* with* *11 wbo rcutly ate the It tends of Presbleiit Jackson, and who really desiie to see him re-elected, a cause of deep regret, that some, jirofesu»x to be friends ol the present j administration, should deem it their duty, still to press the ■ pretension* ol Judge Harbour for the office of Vice Pre-i- 1 dent. It is evident, as has been already remarked in a former number ot your paper, that by pendaling iu the $/ilit or double ticket, the State ol Virginia (which all j admit to be ilcciileilly Jackson) may be given to Mr. Clay j and Sergeant. Seeing this, as nil must, is it not enough 1 to shake one’s faith in the purity and truth ol profession* in lav or 0/ tlio present administration (by gentlemen) w ho still heedlessly amt recklessly press the ticket lately formed, ami submitted by Hie (J.'iarlottevville Central Committee? A10 nol the frieuds ot Clay, already exulting in the belief, tliat this division in the Uupubliran ranks, is to result in tile election ol their favorite candidate ? \\ ho are tcjotced to see this stale ol things existing in Virginia: The ene mies ot Andrew Jack-oil. II such a stale ol things is not to benefit the federal party, why are the Opposition papers taking such an active p.ut iu the formation ol the Repub lican ticket? Why will the Republican secedcr* from the Legislative caucus, lake counsel ftotii the enemies of An drrw Jackson ? W hy do the ledcr.ilijls urge upon the Re- j publicans, the support ol Judge Harbour? Aro tlu-y his political friends? No. It is not that they love Harbour more, but that they love Jackson less. 11 they believed tliat Judge Harbour could, iu any possible contingency, } succeed over their favorite candidate, John Sergeant, hi* pretensions wonl<l not tie urged by the hired presses in the service of the Opposition. Is it not apparent to the ene mies of Andrew Jackson, as it must be to all hi* friends who are awake, that division iu our ranks is probable suc cess to them ? Div.de ami conquer, is tlieir object, ac knowledged and avowed, in some ol their profligate and reckless papers. Judge Baibour is an individual ol noble and elevated bearing; one, whose political career, bus been almost spotless, in hi* rapid succession (o offices ol high and dignified responsibility; an individual, who has pro bably not been surpassed by any in this Union, iu hi* de votion to principles which Virginia holds dear, in her ob lltfiXti<tlia fas IlSkt-aosll' nt,,l IT..:.. . ... ...I. . . n --- uhv| u Hum IIUIIC m/llill have been more proud than myself, to ha«c aeon elevated to the cilice ot \ ice President of the Uaiited States. Hut, shall wc be blindly bound and led to support an individual ot whose success none can entertain even a rational hope? Shall we fold our arms, because we raunoi succeed in our lirst choice, ami give the victory to our enemies? Is not Mr. Van Huron a Republican too? lie is one, i and almost of the Virginia School. Is not that fact evi deuced by his rejection in the Federal Senate last " inter? Is it not further evidenced by his political ; career throughout; both in the State Gove■limetit ol New ! ^ oik and that ol the Union? Why persecuted by Henry | Clay and his Hank partisans? Martin Van Huron is dis tinguished lor his opposition to almost every scheme, in the support of which Mr. Clay has distinguished himsell, as being particularly obnoxious lo die Republican parly. Mr. Van Hureu, then, should l.c the choice ol nil the Iriends ol Republican Government throughout the Union, over Mr. Sergeant, or any o her individual, who basso completely identified himsell and Ins destiny with Mr. ( lay. It the mil Iriends ol (tenrial Jackson in Virginia yet come to the poll*, the issue cannot and will not lie doubtful. No rtul friends ol President Jackson or his ad ministration, can or will support Judge Harbour, if they believe that by such support, Andrew Jackson may be I , defeated. I could almost venture to predict the sucres* ol j i the unpledged ticket in this county,by five to one against ! aH others; and if the people would look well to the mat ter and see the possible result of a split in the Republican ranks, 1 might with safety say, that we should succeed by n tiiajoiity ol at least 10 to 1. On the fust Monday in November next the friends of llm Union and Andrew Jackson w ill lie found on the one side; and the friends ol the United Slates’ Hank, llrnry k lay and Joint Sergeant, fee. on the other. Surely in such a contest, every Re publican will he at hi* post. Messrs. Editors, would it not l-e well to inform the people in each ol your pap dr* before thu election,distinctly when and where tlie elec tion will take place? I am confident that many Iriendty to Andrew Jack-on will he kept from the polls under a j mistaken impression. The impression was general among | the people, that (lie election would lake place (be second Monday in November, instead ol the first. Let the Re publican.* of Virginia be well informed upon the subject and we have nothing to Icar. NO BANK MAN ' Buckingham. __ you THE EJYQUIRKR. I () 1 Hh JACKSON VOTERS OF VIRGINIA.

It is known to you, that, in accordanre with the long-es tablished usage of the Republican Parly ol our State, a Legislative < aurus-met in the Capitol last w inter. For reasons deemed then Mitfiricnt, by a large majority of that body, and which were made public at the time—they de clined making any nomination to the Vice Presidency_ but left it discretionary with (ho nominated Electors, in the event of their election, so lo bestow (heir voles as to them might seem best, on the first Wednesday in December next—being well assured, that they would he given to the Republican candidate, who rould command the largest vote, and who would unite cordially with the party lo which he professed to belong. a minority in me caucus pressed (he nomination of Judge Barbour, ami failing of success there, they, with others, caused meeting* to be held in various counties lot | the purpose ol sending Delegates lo Charlottesville_to bring him, in that mode, before the public lot the ottice in , question. At Charlottesville he was nominated, and the j Electors selected by the caucus were requested to say, whether they would obey the majoiitj if it were in his j lavor—by bestowing their voles on him, without reference I to the vote he might obtain elsewhere. Thu answer* to this query not proving satisfactory, their Central Commit tee have nominated a new ticket, and call on you to sun- I port it I Vottr first object, as far as this election is concerned, i* doubtless the choice ot Den. Jackson. Your political ! enemies, knowing that their only hope of sureess is in j our dlvisons, are urging you by every argument, taunt! and sophism, to vote (he Barbour Ticket—to vote lor the 1 man, who, it there is surli a thing as political honesty, j must he to them the most objectionable candidate that has been brought forward for the otliec. Why do they urge him on you? Because they liopv, hv a divided vote and a thin election on our part, to get a plurality In favor of Mr. Clay over either of tlie Jackson tickets—In other word*, they wish, in tlie teeth of their vaunted Itepiihliraidsui, that a minority should rule. Will you—can you—bo cheated out of the man of your choice by a device like this? When our opponent* arc endeavoring to defeat us ! by an unholy union of the National Mcpuhlican*, Anti-ms* sons ami Nullifiers, (p arties who heretnloic have been the l>iMero«t revtlers of each other, and who hold no one opt- j nbm in common, save the lone of office and lust ot power,) aided by all the disappointed offlrc-huiiter*, who hope tor better sureess under a new administration than they have met with under this—shall we by our divisions, enhance ; the rhanre of sureess of this triple union—an event scarcely less fatal to our free government, union and pros perity, than (he success of the Triumvirate of old was lo the liberties of Rome. Of Mr. Ilarliotir, not one of you, nor of those who press his claims on von, think more highly than the writer of this j hut I would not risk the election of Orn.
