Krl’o-UU' 0,1 nicotian* and Utlr.r>afhusimu. i from the Richmond Compiler.] SOUTHERN COMMERCE. Our fricmJ. of (lie Wheeling Time, offer the following remark, on tin. lopie : •'We learn from the Norfolk Ucacoii, that the General Committee have appointed the aerund Wedno.day in June next, lor holding the Com. mcrcial Convention in Hielnnond. Great hope., bailed upon the action of lliia convention, are en tertained by our felloW-cilixon. at thcca.l, and bo far an awakening the people to a neceiwily ol energetic action on the part of Virginia and the Southern Stale, goen, we have no doubt their hope, will he realised. It ii a melancholy Bight for a Virginian to wd tiers the situation ol Nor. i folk, when compared with what it ha* been; or the situation of Richmond, when compared with what the God of Nature evi Icntly intended her to ho; or to paw* through any part ol Old Vir ginia, and sco the decay that in lapidly stealing over her towns, her villages, and her plantation*. Some of the town* have actually gone to decay -—over one the plough linn gone, erasing every vestage ofwlial was once a thriving village,while many other*, possessing all the natural advan. lagiH they could have, for prosperity, have not advanced one step, amid nil I lie improveinenlH of the country. Look at Richmond, on a noble navigable river, in the heart of a fertile country, with bed* of coal, of natural coke, and of iron, to an unlimited amount, ahnoMt at the doom of i the citizens, in a climate unsurpassed by any on the globe, and producing all the lu x mien man can ask, both of land and water; yet Richmond is still an unthrifty city, grow ing at a snail's pace only. “We hope this convention will devise some means ol applying the propelling power to cities of the east—but wo very much fear that the effect, if any, which it produces upon the public mind, will soon die away. Old Virginia lacks individual enterprise. There is the secret of her poverty, and of her stationary condition. — With her means, the Yankees would fill the world, even to its uttermost parts, wit Ii their coinineree and man u fact ores. The Virginians, God bless them! arc; as i ich in the treasure of the heart, open bund' d benevolence, and universal Jove, us they are likely to bo poor in pocket, but they nevi r will make any bund-way in commerce in competition with tbo northerners, until they change tin n habits. They must, each and every man gel up earlier—they bleep away the best part ol a day—then when (bey are. up they must think, \hi y must do head work, and h i their slaves woik with their bands} hut they mint oversee them themselves, boll* in city and coun try, and not trust so much to (be slave (Join, to Rn bmond, Fredericksburg, or Noifolk, and sen (ho earls come into market —they are the poorest, most pilifol looking a (fairs, and would l»n mobbed out of a northern city by the boys, — (Jo to the canal, ami you will see their boats poked along at two mil's an hour by a slave or two, at an espouse of three times what it would cost to tow a boat live miles an b mr, with eight times the burthen by a horse. These tilings are not the effect of present poverty, hut the cause, and arise fioin a pride 100 gn at to permit o!'at tention to business, in part, and from wbul is very aptly termed shifllessneHs. (Jo to the wholesa'e dealers, (ho forwarding and commis. Sion homo h, un 1 there you will see the proprie tor, good, easy soul, ready to greet you with an open palm, to idler you a sugar, and enter into conversation in a manner establishing intelli gence and spirit; but during this lime bis InisincbS is neglected ami suffering. These things, and a thousand others, most be changed In Torn Virgi nia will prosper in commerce or manufacturer. In tie e.'r. n s they must change their dinner hours, 100, before they can prosper. They now dine late, eat hearty dinners, drink wine, and are good bn nothing afterwards—leaving them only, between breakfast and dinner, about live hours, for busim ns. This will do for bankers, brokers, and merchants, who deal only in heavy Iransac. lions; hut it will never do for smaller dealt th or liieeiiiinicH, because tb»*y make tile best use of all the horns they can out of the tweniy lour, or they will not prosper. These remarks will apply to almost all southern places, and the facts set forth, are the causes which, more (ban any thing else, have produced (ho present statu of that favored region of Country. Wo fear a convention never will eradicate these causes, hut it may stir up some to exertion to reform (In' evil.” In the foregoing (hero is, alas, too much truth. No citizen of Richmond can road those remarks without feeling to a great degree their justness. \Vu want improvement in our manner of doing business, in our materials, mid in our energy. The Times draws a correct picture of things generally. Tho emit rant between the North and South, which it exhibits is also true. The Virginian is atm k with il when ho enters the Northern eilies :—The neatness, the system, tho promptness in all the trades and occupations there—here all disorder, awkwardness, sloth : indeed most movements seeming anli-sysloniut ic and chaotic. Slightly as these things may bo regarded, they have an influence upon our prosperity not dreamed of by our citizens. Wo know of an instance of an English oapi. lalist, not many weeks since, who camo here, having formed a most fluttering idea of Rich ino ml from its favorable geographical loea'ioii, and its many mineral resources and its water ad vantages, with a view to locale and invest his capital, lie examined the city thoroughly —ho visited our merchants, and ascertained the tone and tamper of our citizens, lint the examina tion convinced him (hat he could nut invest (o advantage here. Von have nut enough enter prise said be. Nature has done every thing she could for you; but your citizens have not enough energy—they have no community of feeling— there is 100 much individuality among (hem, too much clashing, lie could not esteem il prudent for a capitalist to locate in a city whoso pros, peels were so clouded. Until you shake off your prominent habits, your indecision, and your “individuality says he, you can never prosper or avail yourselves of the immense advantages winch a careful examination convinces me you are possessed of. There was 100 much truth iu all this for contradiction. There is too much to be done. Wo should change our manner of doing business—we should dress up our city—make it more neat, eh anly ami agreeable—at ouco an inviting abiding place to the traveller—and thus by encouraging immigration, remove the causes which drive those from it whose swift fooled enterprise can not bo fettered by our snail paced prosperity. All this can bo done, and must be done. A great change must come over the city; but there arc elements in trade, in commerce, in mamifUt'- lures, and in internal improvements, which arc conspiring to bring it about. Meantime it should I be hastened by a change in the (eolings and sou- | liuionts of our citizens. Let each man look in to our commercial relations, foreign and domes- . tic—inquire into them, find out their character i —and sec where our interests arc, and how they may be bciielillod; —then lei him look at our city, its location, its plans, its laws, ordinances, rulers, and all may be improved—the benefits to result from improvements which might suggest themselves to the reflecting mind—and how to perfect them. Let these inquiries be made by each, under the impression that lie is as deeply Inlerested as any other, ami let there boa gene ral consultation and understanding—a free in terchange of opinions, sentiments, arguments, and views. L t this be done, and our word for it, inestimable benefits will result. Such is the true “community offtcling;” the very soul and life ofcity prosperity; and without which, tie cay, decline, apathy, and dullness ensue. A city* so cursed, loses its trade, its citizens, its health, becomes a painful spectacle ami monu ment to mark the spot where once flourished commerce, onlerprizc, ami industry; with their concomitants independence and happiness. Rut these things cannot be efleeted in a day nor a year. Perhaps wo shall have to await the gradual changes effected by the assumption of the responsibilities and burthens of life by the rising generation. Revolution® in ail things have their cycles—mayhap those with reference to what wc arc talking about, may be marked by the entrance* and exist® of the actors. Habit is second nature; and may not always be ®ha- b ken off. But the ®cythc of time mow* down a 0 generation, and with it the habit® and prejudice® J which had distinguished it. t Wc have departed from our purpose, Il wa® r to call the attention of our fellow citizens once | more to tho subject of tho State Commercial i Convention. There is no doubt hut what the t whole State is desirous of seeing what we intend to do, Wc should let our course be understood. Certainly Richmond cannot he an unmoved spectator. She certainly could not allow the Convention to meet within sound of the Capital, to consult about her interests and those of Vir ginia, and lake no part whatever in its delibera tions. We cannot doubt for a moment that she will participate. But why delay? why pul off the subject? Why not encourage our friends in the interior? The proceedings of Norfolk seem, cd to ns to demand an immediate response. In them a courtesy and respect for us was exhibit ed, which should have been treated with the ut most promptness and politeness. And what lias marked our course, but the cold indifference of procrastination? We blush to think of it. Wc appeal to our merchants to call a meeting directly. To show that they arc alive to our c.i(y and Stale interests, and treat Norfolk, the venerable and spirited '‘Old Borough,” in such a manner as wc should—with that deference and respect duo to the seaport which once carried on the largest foreign track; of all our seaports, and which, if she gets her deserts, will again assume her proud relative Importance.

We shall not certainly attempt to mnr the joy they feel : it is so seldom they have just cause for rejoicing,that it would be cruel to dispel (he ideas they have formed of similar triumphs hereafter Among the VVli.g papers of the Stale, none appears more iu rapture than the Southern Recorder. In * the last numbet* tbc editors exclaim, “ Old Virginia j has at length broke her trommels, and has again ! assumed her appropriate station among her Soulli ■ orn sinters. She is redeemed from Van Horenism, | and will once more he found,ns of old, warring in 1 favor of Southern rights, having too long wasted her energies and parahzcd her influence, in main taining (ho code political of the New \ ork regen cy.” The editors then conclude their remarks w ith “We have one question to nsk of our colem porury of the Constitutionalist, viz: to rejoice nt Mr. Van Burcn’s overthrow in Virginia and .Missis j sippi, does it constitute criminal Whig rejoicing, about which our cotemporary has recently so much complained—or is it rejoicing w ith (Mir breth ren, both in regard to general politics, ami espe cially in regard to our common interest in our pe culiar domestic institutions?” We shall make a brief reply to the editors of llio Recorder. We candidl> confess that we do not know whether to rej »iee nr imt at the result of the Vir ginia elections. If the elections hud terminated in favor of the Van Huron candidates, so called by iho Virginia Administration papers, it is almost certain that a majority of the Legislature would have acted according to the principles recently adopted by .Mr. Uivcs in regard to the important question »f carrying into elhrl the separation of ■ bank and stale, ns recommended by the President. 'Pile \ irginia Whigs having succeeded in electing ; a majority of members to the House of Delegates, more than siilficicnt to counterbalance the majori ty of the Administration party in (ho .Senate, it is more than probable that a sirong majority, composed of Whigs mid Administration men, will he found in the Legislature in favor of the Siiii-Trnuury system. NN e have It from good authority that ma ny of the Whigs elected are decided.y thu sup porters of the Sub-Treasury 8 v stem. 'hiiiiob « 1 • «•« i'irj nftif WWffpoied to the present administration. On thu other hand, if the Whigs hud been defeated, men would have been elected who support the administration on all ques tions except the one which til this time is the must important, and in which so many v ital interests are involved. The editors of thu Recorder will per ceive that wo are placed in u dilemma. Can we regret the success ol the Virginia Whigs, when the Sub-Treasury System remains undecided? f And should we not I.uncut the defeat of the Van Buren candidates, which deprives the odiiiinistru -1 lion of iho efficient support of the Legislature of Virginia ? We beg the* editors of the Recorder to solve for us the dilemma in which wc are placed In the menu time we cull their attention to the fol lowing letter from ji distinguished Virginia Whig. [ I'rom ihr \\ ushiugton ('hroniile.] THE MON. WILLIAM r. GORDON. VV »* have obtained permission to publish the very interesting 1 tier fVoin this distinguished Republican to a nu mber of Congress, which the r reader will fi id below.

Under what circumstances ibis proposi , ; lion was originally matured and moved will be 1 seen by apoiusal of the Idler itself*. Albemarle, Va., Till May, 1838. • -My Dear Sir , —Your letter of the 3Jlh April, J is just received, is consequence of my absence in attendance on the Superior Court of Orange. You say tlial you had seen il staled in the i public prints that I was note opposed to the Sub . j treasury system ! So far from it, there has not : i been a moment since I proposed the subject in i lb'* House of Representatives, in which 1 have • j doubted, i ilher on policy or principle. Had t General Jackson's Administration adopted the scheme at the lime it was proposed, the shock . of suspension, by the banks, might not have oc. curred, or il u had, would have been greatly ' mitigated, in its* effects, both on the people and ■ the Government. Oilier counsels, however, ruled the hour, and the lime most auspicious to ; its introduction was lost! It was with gieal surprise, but with high gratification, that I i found the succeeding A Iministraiioti recom mending it as a great measure of reform. I • have never been enough of a party man, to abandon my own opinions and principles, be cause of their adoption by those with whom I do not agree on all subjects ; and being more and more convinced of the wisdom, and Repub . I Heart tendencies of this great hut simple mea sure of reform in the administration oflhc Fed eral branch of our Government, 1 have given, I and shall continue to give, my decided support j to the A iminislraiion, so far as this subject is involved. -My gratification at the recommend- I ingot this measure, has been dashed by the abuse which has been poured on our talented and natrioLic fiend, Mr. Calhoun, whose opim ; ons I know well on this subject, since its first movement. Indeed, 1 drew the bill, which I presented to the ILau*c, as a substitute for the 1 Slate Hank scheme, in consultation tcith him and although he preferred, as a measure of po- Iny, to renew the charter oflhc United Stales Hank for a short period,—in that measure , he looked to a similar result. His consistency on this subject comes in aid of the transcendent ability with which he has maintained his opini ons, and shields him, in unprejudiced minds from every imputation thrown on his motives. I am sure he will persevere; I trust he will re ceive the powerful aid of the Administration; success , (of which I do not doubt,) w ill be an achievement, worthy to be inscribed on the Re. publican banner of “98 and the civil glory of the era will not be surpassed by any in our an. nals. Ido most cordially hope", that as we have passed through the system of funding, engrafted by Mr. Hamilton, on the revolutionary debt, so much condemned by the Republicans of that day, with Mr. Jefferson at their head, wc shall further simplify our Government by disconnect, ing it from the intricacies and entanglements of ( banks, cither State or Federal. And that, in 1 the language of Mr. Jefferson, in his letter to ( Mr. Madison in '96, hereafter the “ accounts of ' the United States ought to be, ami may be made f as simple as those of a common fanner, and ca. f pablc of being understood by common farmers.” c Thus much I have thought it just and say to you, both in regard to Mr. Calh o ,,J*’' B !b * r ’ 1 ustency and my own constancy ; and T ** Bother U you will unite with me, in the hone iV Slate Rights party every where, may bL X H FOSI consistent; that as they have remained?"*^■> llowlt the faith of their fathers, amidst the d: persecutions of the past, they will BlCli, i^Bs Mills now, on a great question of deliverance* reck ’ berly;—that having braved the terrors o f" n Pc cr, they will despise the seductions of that having resisted the errors of a .. i. c hero,” enshrined in the gratitude of hi. .r'Mrßirae ol they will not yield the Constitution 0 country, to the clamors of mere nogqJMge of Must respectfully and sincerely m , Your friend, 9 j WM - F - GORDON La There was a severe hail storm in p erry f ff-W 1 Alabama on ihe 25th lilt.
