We have advices from Virginia, that Messrs. MADISON and MONROE, in answer to the letter received from the Committee of the Anti-Jackson Convention, informing them of their nomination as Electors, state, that their ages and the retirement they have imposed on themselves, will not admit of their taking an active part in the political affairs of the times: but as they have been nominated as Electors by the Convention, and the duties of Electors not being burdensome, they submit it to the discretion of the Committee either to continue them on the ticket, or to substitute such other names as they may think proper.
This is the substance of the advices received here; and the authority although not official, is considered to be authentic in substance.
