which came into power upon the princi

department of the Government, and for
along time refuse inquiry into alleged :
abuses. and at last, attempt to stifle it, by
the appointment of Committees compos- j
fd of six to three against investigation. •
1 have seen the President of the United

mittee of Inquiry into Executive abusesi
and tjie doors of the Executive depart

A j *' meric an people, who discharged

resident of the U. S., the source of pat

binder in Chief of the Army and Navy
v°he in a manner w*ell calculated to
- "milan* his followers to assail, out-of
Members of Congress, for dis
i ^u'ir official duties fearlessly.—
aveseen all this—the Executive arm
k owing stronger and stronger, while
other department was trembling,
Jenng, falling beneath its giant blow\
y JPul’ gentlemen, I have transcended the
*hich the occasion would seem to
prescribe, and in conclusion, let me ask,

others bled in the field and toiled in tho

Wmg that unshackled freedom—Shall
^ ?° our children as we re
wred it irom our ancestors? The forms
of eor government yet remain, but the
spirit it gone for a time—It may be, for
ever! That depends upon us, upon the
people. The cold skeleton of our once
glorious, but now expunged Constitution,
remains, but its immortal spirit has fled,
it may be to implore those who gave it
being, to awake, arouse and inspire their
sons.
I am, gentlemen, with sentiments of
the highest regard, your very obedient
servant, BAL1E PEYTON.
On the day designated, Mr. Peyton
met a large assembly of gentlemen. To
a complimentary toast, he responded in
an eloquent and animated speech, a sum
mary of which, with the toasts on the
occasion, will he given hereafter. He
concluded by offering the following noble
sentiment:
“Let us keep the flag flying,—die but
don’t surrender.”
To the Voter9 of Loudoun, Fairfax, onci
Fauquier:
Presented to your notice as a Candi
date to represent you in the Congress
of the United States, it is necessary to in
form you that it was not at my instance
nor my suggestion. Understanding,
however, that General Rest has positive
ly declined his nomination in Fauquier.
I deem It my duty to yield my assent to
the wishes of those who have announced
me. Ar.d although I feel highly flattered
by the confidence thus manifested in me
by a portion of my fellow-citizens, 1 can
not forget that a representative is chosen
not with a view of conferring honors up* j
on the individual, but to maintain and ;
support the great principles of liberty i
upon which our institutions are founded.
It is not so much the merit of the man
that is to be regarded, as the principles
Ue professes, embodying the sentiments
and feelings of his fellow men. He is
selected as their servant—their agent—
to do their bidding; and not for the pur
pose of gratifying any aspirations of am
bition.
My political opinions, I believe, are
known throughout the District. To pre
set ve the sovereignty of the States unim
paired, ns the only safe guard of our
liberties; to restrain the General Govern
ment strictly within the limits of the Con
stitution, a9 the best means of perpetua
ting the Union, have ever formed the
cardinal points of my political creed.
WM. T. T. MASON.
Leesburg, V*. April 12, 1837.
To the Voters o f Loudoun, Fairfax and
Fauquier:
Harper's Ferry, April 8, 1S37.
Having seen my name announced to
the Republican Voter* of the District,
composed of Fauquier, Loudoun, and
Fairfax, a* one to be supported for the
next Congress of the United States, 1
have felt it due to the highly intelligent
and respectable meeting, and to the po
litical and personal friend* by whom the
nomination has been made, to take the
earliest opportunity to decline the honor
intended.
Having been for some time past direct
ing my views to the West, with some
prospect of a permanent location there,
all the intervening time between the pre
sent and the election, will be closely
occupied in preparing for the journey.
While professing no disposition to con
ceal the pride and pleasure I derive from
this further evidence of the confidence of:
a party to whose interest [my humble but
zealous, support has always been direct
ed, 1 regret that some one more worthy
had not been selected and thatany circum
stance should compel me to request my
name to be withdrawn from the list of
candidates.
I have the honor to be, yours, respect
fully, GEORGE RUST.

the Methodist Protestant Church in that
place. . . -
The deceased had been for a long time
I sufficing with a painful and protracted
disorder with the patience of a Christian
whose reliance was placed on the Kock
of Ages; her miidnesss and devout piety
endeared her to a numerous circle of re
latives and friends, on whom this dispen
sation of Divine Providence will fall
most heavily. She has left a disconso
late and loving husband to mourn the un
timely loss of the partner of his bosom.
She was all that a wile should be-all
that a friend should be—and all that a
Christian could be. Though death has
robbed her of earthly life, he could not
rob her of eternal life* and her soul tri
umphantly dwells with her maker.

The Market—We correct our quota
tions generaliy, advancing some articles
and reducing others, to correspond with
the present vagon prices.
Flour.—We^ontinue our quotation of
87,50 from wagons, at which the article
is now in demand, with a probability of a
further improvement. It is now the mid
die of fishing season, when we generally
have large receipts; they are now ex
tremely small, and the stock of Flour on
hand very light—of what little flour we
have coming in, the principal part is
stored for higher prices. We know of
no King street flour for sale from stores,
at less than 89; some wharf has been of
fered at SS 37jj; last sales of King street
were at 88,50.
NEW YORK MARKET—April 15.
Flour and Meae —Extreme heaviness
still pervades the Flour market, and pri
ees continue to decline. Our quotations
for all descriptions are reduced in con
formity with present prices; sales of 200
b.tvrels Richmond City Mills Rutherford,
from Foreign Wheat, $9, 90 days; 300
barrels Richmond country, $8 25 cash
and small parcels of Troy, $9 a $9 25.
Rye Flour and Corn Meal continue dull
of sale.
Grain—We are again without any
important transactions to notice in fo
reign wheat; good descriptions are still
inquired for but the declining state of the
flour market creates a reluctance to con
tinue purchases, unless at reduced prices:
a sale of 2000 bus. red German at 51.35,
60 days is ail we have to r«o.>rt. A sale
of 2000 bushels foreign rye was made at
90; and for milling small parcels prime
have been selling at 95 cts. cash. Corn
continues heavy, and farther declined;
sales of 1100 bushels North Carolina at
S3 cents for 56 lbs cash; and 2000 bushels
Ohio via New Orleans. 85, aNo for 56 lbs
There has been no material variation in
the price of oats; 2000 bushels southern
sold yesterday at 41 cents cash. There
are no supplies of northern barley arriv
ing and the market remains bare.
