"The lower house have passed a resolution, declaring that Governor Lee, from the time he accepted the command of the militia of the U. States, vacated his office of Chief Magistrate of this commonwealth; and I expect that a similar resolution will pass in the case of Mr. Innes, who is gone to Kentucky on the business of the U. States. An attempt has been made to expel Col. Holmes, of Caroline, from the house, because he suffers the mail to be carried in his stages. Thus you see, if a man only wishes well to the federal government, the Assembly of Virginia are disposed to remove him from any office in our government."
