"We showed on yesterday that the Democratic
members of Congress had voUd themtelvws cnuib,
hair-brashes, clothes-brashes, seep, and other like
' things; and all this, toeMexMs oVu dear
' whom they affect ' to love so . well.
And not oalj- did IheyWoU theraselvfcs
these things, bat they voted away the 7x0
plS 1 wwney to hire carriages for themselves to
dash about the streets of "Washington in! And
not only to hire carriages, but tkej also voted away
the people's money to-buy themselves mttJU
' Kowlet-aa-poi a plain question to the voters of
1 the State if these Democratic members of Con-"
greet can use the people's money in purchasing for
themselves muff, why may they not nse it in any
. other way in the world f Why may they not ue
it to bay themselves chewing tobacco, aid cigars,
and sugar, and coffee, and tea, and flour, and ba
: con, and everything else oa earth that they may
stand in need of or take a faacytoT - Now; the
I vtcpUih voters of Virginia, Whig and Dem-
ocratlc hava to bay all these things, and what
. ever else they want, .with their own money. And
yet, DemocraUc Congressmen buy these things for
their owa individual use, and then make the peo
pie the humble, industrious, toiling voters of Vir
giniafoot the bill I And yet, too, these Demo
craUc Congressmen get (Ares ikemmnd dollar m
year as salary lor their service which enormous
- salary they voted themselves, and, -not aatified
- with it, we find them voting themselves combs,
aad brushes, and snuff, at the expense of the peo-
- pie I We ask iU the people of Virginia longer
sustain a set of men thus profligate and thus di--hooertt-
ma they vote tor John Letcher, who.

POLITICAL.'' REVIVAL IN TENNESEE.
As we anticipatod, there was a glorious gath
ering of the Opposition in. Tennessee last Tues
dtj, by whpni there was manileated the utmost
enthusiasm and soul cheering harmony.' At an
early boor (he Representatives Ball was crowded
to overflowing.) evincing thst the people fully ex
pected something unusual in tbe way of hearty
concert of action and rousing speeches. And they
were not disappointed." ' !
n The roll! of ; Delegates numbered over three
hundred, embracing the flower of the OppoeitioV
and animated to a man by a spirit of determina
tion to succeed. The meeting was organized by
calling upon that veteran leader, Hon. Neil S.
Brown to preside, 'supported by several t&leiited
gentlemen as Vice-Presidents, and, an able corps
of Secretaries. , Then a Committee, of which Hon.
F. K. Zollicoffar, Representative in Congress frn
the Nachvitle District, was the Chairman, was ap
pointed to drtft Resolutions. Tbe Committee was
composed of the following gentlemen : j
F. Ki Zoilieoffer, Dr. John W. Richardson, W.
H. Wisener, L. J.Polk, J. M. Queries, Jere. Cle
mens, J. H. ilcMahou, Thomas Rivers, D. R.
Thomas, JM. Morrill, J. B. Cook, R. B. Rrab
son, John M. Fleming, W. B. Reeee, jr, and W.
C. Kyle. J - ;
- While the Committee was out, Hon. Jere. Clem
ens, of the' Memphis "Eagle & Enquirer," was
called for, who responded in a lengthy and able
9peah. Ex-Governor Foote, of Mississippi, was
then called' upon, a ho declined addressing the
Convention until its business was concluded. W.
G". Brownlow, of the Knoxville "Whig," respon
4ed to an enthusiatic call by begging to be ex
cused from sprakicg, but 'promised to do his whole
part in writing. j
We Invite a careful reading of the Resolutions
adopted by; the Convention. They embody tbe
sentiments nd doctrines of those passed by tbe
Virginia Opposition, and very probably indicate
the principles on which tbe Opposition in Georgia
will plant themselves in the coming compaijrn
as well as foreshadow the platform upon which
the Opposition throughout the Union will unite
in the Presidential contest in 1860. Above all,
we earnestly solicit the Opposition in Georgia to
notice the ananitnity of the Convention in tbe
adoption of; the Resolutions and the outburst, of
enthusiasm which attended and followed the nom
ination of John Netherland as the candidate.
fjnappalled by tne power of numbers, and on
subdued bV former defeats, they go out upon the
field full of spirit and hope and a faith in obtain
ing a victory that forcibly reminds one of the
days of 1840 I We hail the prompt and barmo
nius action of tbe Tennessee Opposition, as an ang
ary of success,' and hope and believe that such
spirit of dotermination must and will triumph.
God grant hat it may be so, and -that the sririt
of defiame and ambition to gain a decisive and
glorious victory may cress our Northern bounda
ry, and, cotnmunicatiag' from heart to heart, de
scend from the mountains, and sweep to the sea
board, until the enure Opposition in Georgia shall
be aroused to action, shake off their lethargy, and,
determined to conquer, go forth to the battle with
the same firmness of purpose and whole-souled
en thusiasiri which animates their brethren of Ten
nessee. f ' . ' ' i
On re-assembling in the afternoon, the follow
ing action was had " i
Gen. F. JL Zoilieoffer, from the Committee on
Resolution!, reported the following declaration of
principles . - -
Tbe people of Tennessee opposed to the Democ
rauo party declare: i .
1 I. That the Union, as established by the Federal
Constitution, is the surest guaranty of the rights
and interests of all sections of the country, and
should be preserved. .
II. That, while we will maintain with unwaver
ing firmness, iour constitutional rights in relation
to slavery, re believe that tbe further agitation' of
the question tends to no practical good to any por
tion of the country, and should therefore cease;
regarding the principle as settled, that the people,
when they)come to form a Constitution and estab
lish a State Government, shall decide the question
lor themselves.
III. That iwe are opposed to direct taxation and
in favor of the adoption of a tariff adequate to the
expenses t atn economical Administration of the
general government, with specific duties where
applicable,'discriminating in favor of American
industry, j . r - '
IV. That the United States should accept the Island
of Cuba at any time when it can be acquired con
sistently with the national honor, and should op
pose, to the but extremity, its transfer to any for
eigh power. : i - ;
V. That in the disposition of the public lands,
otherwise than for governmental purposes, Ten
nessee and all the old States are equally entitled
to receive a proportion with the States and Terri
tories where they are located.
VI. That we are in favor of a reasonable ex
tension of the period rf probation no m prescribed
for the naturalisation of foreigners, aad a more
rig.d enforcement of tbe law npoa that subject
tbe prohibition of the immigration of foreign
paupers and criminals, and tbe' prevention of
all foreigner not naturalized from voting at elec
tions. . f "
VII. That the recommendation . of tbe Presi
dent that Congress shall confer upon him the
war-making power, and subject the Army and
Navy to bis. control, with the demand for enor
mous appropriations out of the public Treasury,
to carry out bis views ; coupled witb the reckless
extravagance, waste of the publio monev, and cor-
.1.. s 5 - . ' .
rupuon piecucea unaer tne present Administra
tion, deserve the unqualified condemnation and
rebuke of the whole country.
VIII. That we are in favor of a sound and
well regulated bankinz svstem. the Issum
shall, by being payable on their face at the place
k 1 . 1 I . a, ... ... . .
"uciiw vNtu. uv cooTeruoie, at tne win 01 toe

IX. Thst we favor tbe maintenance. Inviolate.
of tbe publie faith, by the prompt payment, at
whatever sacrifice, of the publio debt, and no fur
ther increase of it, unless for some object of indis
pensable public necessity.
X. That w here pledgeourselves to use our ear
nest exertioas and united influence to overthrow
that partyi which, having brought the 'Govern
ment 10 wmxruptcy ana nuea uie wnoie una
with discord, have now, themselves, caught the
contagion, and agree in nothing but a desire for
dominion :and are bound together by no tie ex
cept w the cohesive power of public plunder."

Gov. Foote, of Mississippi, was then loudly
called for, and ascended the stand amid hearty
cheers. . Gov. Foote addressed the Convention in
reference to the corruption of tbe Government
at length and with gieat ability.' His cbsrges of
fraui and corruption' were strong,: mentioning
names, but made under a full apprehension of tbe
responribility. . ' - ' : '. !:""' ' '- 'y-'-"- '.
Gen. Quarles offered the following jresolntion :
Eesolved, That the President of this Conven

may deem best, with the power to appoint County

THE " OFFICIAL ORGAN" UNDER THK
' NEW REGIME. , i'.
, From ihe Wefihington States.
We have already annHinced tbe change of pro
prietorship in the wasnmgton AJmon, Dy wnicc
the official journals, as our grave contemporary o
the Intelligencer courteously characterizes it, pas
ses from toe control of Mr. Cornelius w endii in
to the hands of Brigdier General George Waah
ineton Bowman. The complete details of the
transaction, though now in our possession, we re
serve for future exposition, when, the public wi'l
admit that the proceeding is altogether without a
parallel, in so far as it exhibits vbe Attorney Gen
eral of the United States negotiating and attesting
the sale ot a newspaper for a consideration to be
paid, not by tbe individual purchaser, but witb
the funds of Government , distributed in the shape
of Executive patronage. 1
This, and other equally extraordinary incidents
in the affair, we promise to develope in due sea
son. For the present, we have merely to advert
to the change of proprietorship in tbe Lnum, in
explanation of the article which appears in its is
sue of this morning. Heretofore that paper has
affected a lofty ignorance of the existence of the
States but its policy is reversed, and from an im
perturbable tilence'it rushes at onoe to the extreme
01 cdgitty and garrulous comment. V e salute our
adversary witb unfeigned satisfaction. We have
often endeavored to provoke him to combat ; and
since be agre to enter tbe lists, we beg to assuro
him he shall be accommodated to the extent of his
appetite for fight. ' i i f
Ordinarily we have to concern with thepaterni
ty of articles in tbe columns of our contenijiora
ries. ' Lest, however, we inadvertently offe. in
dignity to the " true prince," whom we di not
pretend to recognise by " instinct," we are oblig
ed to regard the possibility that the article in the
Union of this morning is the production of a '-very
exalted personage." We have the assurance of
the best authority that tbe late editors ot
that journal have indignantly repudiated the re
sponsibility of its control, in consequence of its in
decent traneler to its present proprietor. The arti
cle, then, is not tbeir performance. ,Nor was it
penned by Brigadier General George "Washington
Bowman; for, whatever its defects, it is written
with grannmatical propriety an achievement of
which that illustrious warrior is wholly incapable,
as we happen to know from a painful correction of
manuscript with which be has occasionally illum
inated our own columns. Under these circum
stances, we are driven to the conclusion that the
article in tbe Union1 is an emanation of the Execu
tive mansion ; and as such, we propose to review
it with all possible indulgence. The candid rea
der ill' attribute 1 tbe elemencyi of our critic
ism to an unaffected reverence for the character of
the President.. I , . "
AN UNPUBLISHED LETTER OF JOHN

The following letter front John; Weslev to his
friend, Mrs. Johnson, of New York, is said never,
to have been published, until it appeared in the
Boston Journal, a few days since :!
Londox, Feb. 16, 1777.
My Dear Sister The persons with whom we
have to do are so dilatory, that I know not when
we shall begin to build ; perhaps not this year.
And if so, 1 shall, with God's help, go through
Ireland as usiml. But if we build, I can oniy
visit you-I suppose about the middle of June.
If it will suit your convenience, I (hall hope to see
you then. . . . ! .
, If any, then, of the preachers exceed their time,
(about one hour in the whole service) I hope you
will always put them in mind what is the Meth
odist Rule. People imagine the longer tfie ser
mon is the more good it will; do. This is a
frand mistake. " The help done on eartbJGod doeth
imself. And he does not need that we should
use many words. i '

That none of your, little company should vet
have drawn back, is more than One could have
expected. It is well if a third part of those that
at first put tbeir band to the plow, endure to the

Daij Rivia CoAt.Tir.Li Roaj. George D.
Boyd, Esq., the Senator from Rockingham, has
written a letter to G. L. Aiken and others, which
we find in tbe Uai Greensborough Patriot, ex
plaining the provisions of the charter granted at
the late session of the Legislature for this Road.
Mr. Boyd says: . r ''
"The charter has but one limitation,' and thxt
is, the road must not run within twenty -miles of
the North Carolina Road. The Company can sq
locate the Road as to run from Danville in the direc
tion of Greensboro', and make some twenty-five
or thirty miles of road, and when getting within
twenty miles of the N. C. Road, stop and wait
until the meeting ot the next General Assembly,
and appty to have the charter amended so as to
complete tbe road to Greensboro', or if the Com
pany do not choose to wait so long, the road can
be run to Leaksvill, or by way of Madison fc
Germanton and connect with a road already or
ganised, from German by way of Salem t
High Point on the N. C. Road. That there is
abundance of Cal all along the va'ley of tho
Dan, no one in this section of country doubts ;
the only question is the most favorable point :
The Company is not restricted as to the timo
when the Coalfields shtP be reached.
That the roadwill be built, there is not a shad
ow of doubt ; the only question is how soon wo
can get to work." I wift add, in conclusion, 3et
every friend of the road march up to the enter
prise, subscribe liberally, organize the Company
and go to work.'' I ;

He complains that tbe route agents are pot uni
formly as efficient aa they might be, and that
when regulations are adopted that are distasteful
to them, they try touring the Department to
terms by making those regulations as unpopular
as neglect of duty on tbeir part can make th em
relying all the time upon the influence of mem
bers of Congress to keep tbem ' in positions for
which they are not qualified. Thus, whilst the
Assistant P. M. General is anxious to do his duty,
and to require his agents to do theirs, , be admits
that be cannot reach inefficient and faithless
agents wbo owe their appointment and continu
ance in office to members of : Congress With
out a radical change, therefoie, in the practice of
the Department, unless it shall assume some inde
pendence of members of Congress, by dismissing
worthless agents, no matter by wbom sustained,
mail matters will grow still worse; instead of bet-;
ter. If the Press, which is everywhere complain
ing of this Department, would institute more
searching inquiry into its management, and ex
pose the secrets of its inefficiency, the public inter
ests would be greatly subserved. This course
would contribute effectually toward cleansing tbe
Augean stable, that is now reeking with corrup
tion.

hostilities between Domirjicoand Denmark. The

peremptorily demanded 3$50,000 indemnity for
the seizure of two Danish! vessels, by Baez, during
the recen t revol ution . iijj - Domin ico 'President
Santana offered to refer the matter to arbitrators,
but the Dansh functionary declined, giving the
Dominicans only 24 hours to comply with his de-i
mands, . with tbe understanding that a refusal
would be followed by a blockade of the port. The
Dominicans decided in favor of war, and forthwith
commenced biannirg the(r batteries. There was '
but one Danish vessel in hbrt ' r
