To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette.
Mr. Snowden—The gratifying intelligence is
at length announced that the Old Dominion has
renounced Jacksonism, and that the Whigs have
triumphed in Virginia. I look upon this as one
of the most important political events that has
ever occurred in this country. It far exceeds
ia importance the New York Election, which
lias been so justly regarded as a remarkable
S!gnofthe times. You mention that a celebra
tion is to take place in Richmond. I hope so,
and trust that a like celebration will be held in
fyery county of the State, and in every State of
the Union. How gratifying to think that Vir
ginia has come out, openly and manfully, in this
ay of peril, to the rescue of the Constitution!
And what a moral weight she will throw on the
'ide of correct principles in the contest!
Uannot the Whigs of Alexandria unite with
twir brethren in their parent State, in some pa
triotic demonstration on the occasion? I have
eard that the suggestion has been made by an
^lent Whig in the private circles? I, for one,
anxious to participate; for this is a time
»hen every American citizen M ought to stand
UP to the rack, fodder or no fodder.’*

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette.
Mr. Snowden—I have read, with no little sur
in your paper, what purports to be Re
7Jar*£s made by Mr. Stoddert, of Md., in the
,0use of Representatives, on the occasion of
"^presenting a memorial from the citizens of
;lls county. By the Rules of the House, as I
heard and understood them, no such re
‘a*rk$ could have been allowed. The Report
rs for the Washington papers, as far as I have
or can learn, have reported no such re
m*ks as having been made. Has our Repre
sentative then been manufacturing a speech on
)/?r he did not deliver in the House? I
' ^se fora reply. If no reply is made, I shall
risider my inference correct. I do not stop to
toe utter fallacy of Mr. Stoddert’s remarks,
Jf1 ?elieve the people will do that at tha next
‘e£to)n. A Marylander.

LIBERIA.
To the Citizens of Alexandria.
Interesting accounts have lately been receiv
ed from our Colony in Africa. It is gradually
rising—the general health is good—and the
deaths very few.
The Rev. Mr. Pinney, the present Agent of
the Colonization Society, in a full and.valuable
report to the Society, says, among other things:
“ In relation to the moral and religious state of
the Colony, I cannot compare it with former
years, not having had experience. There is, as
in all other communities, so here, a larger por
tion of vice than the good would wish to see: yet
I am persuaded that a large portion of the com
munity is virtuous, and inclined to favor a se
vere construction of the laws.”
“ In relation to the Schools, I am not prepar
ed to make any but the most general remarks.
The teachers at present employed seem verj' at
tentive, and, as a general thing, very success
ful. Mr. Edelin’s school at New Georgia, sup
ported by the ladies in Philadelphia, is greatly
cramped in its operations for want of a suitable
room; and all the schools are suffering more or
less from scarcity of books, stationary, &c. &c.
At present, more than forty children at Edina
are growing up to the privileges of freemen,
without^one school to teach the rudiments of
learning.”
“ I remarked before, that all the schools need
ed books and stationary. This want is press
ing. Do call upon the Christian community in
America to turn a portion of their charities into
this channel. Let them know, that, to extend
knowledge and promote sound piety, a quire of
paper is, at the. present moment, of more worth
than the Bible. Bibles and Tracts have been
sent here, and either used as waste paper, or
made food for worms. Why? Not because
the people despise either, but because we have
not a reading population.” “ Let them raise
societies for supporting schools, such as those
formed by the ladies of Philadelphia and Rich
mond—and not only to support schools, but to
supply teachers. Let the pious spend some of
their alms in supplying us with paper and books
fit for the orimarv schools: and then we shall
be able beneficially to receive their donations
of devotional works.”
The object of the officers of the Alexandria
Colonization Society, in presenting you the
above extracts, will at once be seen. It is to
show you the wants of our interesting Colony,
and to give you an opportunity of assisting to
relieve them. We deem it unnecessary to urge
any arguments to a community so ready to
every good work; and shall say, in conclusion,
that if any of you will send school books, whe
ther old or new, or stationary of any kind, to
the store of Mr. Wm Gregory; to Dr. Alexan
der’s office, or. to the dwellings of the Rev.
Messrs. Harrison or Cornelius, they will take
care that they be duly forwarded to the Colony.

Fecundity.—An insolvent applied to the Com
missioners at Bristol for his discharge: among
the assets he laid before the board were thirty
children, all by one wife, who had three times
presented him with twins. His creditors most

charged. His was a case crying loud for relief.
Gen. Arthur O’Connor, who has been banish
ed from the dominions of the British King, was
about to return to Ireland. He has been absent
from his country thirty-six years, residing in
Paris, but has received a limited leave ol two
months to visit the country, for the purpose of
settling some private business. Mr. O’Connor
was accused of high treason, and arrested
while attempting, with three others, to make his
escape into France, in 1793; he was, however,
acquitted, and a free pardon given him on con
dition of perpetual banishment; another who
was tried with him was condemned and exe
cuted. His sensations on visiting the scenes of
his childhood must be indescribable.
A noble Lord, once the associate of Royal

A London horse slaughterer has lately madt
a developement in a court of justice, which had

horses tongues were never to be seen among

cured and dried, they made most excellent rein

Thus does the West present one solid phalanx,
and will nobly breast the storm of Jacksonism,
that is raging over our devoted country. In some
of these counties strong appeals were made to
the party, particularly by Dr. Creel, in Wood,
who put forth along “protest” goingthe whole,
according to direction, but who met with a sig
nal defeat. The West differed from Leigh, in
the Convention, but now that he is the champion
of the Whigs of 1834, she will die with him, in
the last ditch, in defence of her Liberties and
theC onstitution of her country.
