The course Of the Virginia Senators in the Senate
of the T. States has brought upon them the foul fury
of the subsidized Press. Having done what they
believed their duty, presume those Senators will
disregard this abuse

The nomination Of Amos Kendall, esq., as Fourth
Auditor, approved the 1Othinst. in the Senate
by the casting vote of the Vice President.
The desertion Of two or three Jackson Senators
produced equal division of the Senate, which made
the prepoaderatng vote of the Vice President neces-
sary to decision. This diversion in the jackson
ranks from the agency of Senator who in this
instance represented the rotten borough of Norfolk
rather than the State Of Virginia. Phs gentleman
of Norfolk seems to have caught the infection of op
position to Mr.. Kendall from the Navy Yard of his
city. He was at time I he euogist the Fourth
Auditor, but finding that he could not bend him to
the purposes of his friends in the navy he endeavored
to convert his influence in the Senate into means
of punishment, for the honest independence which IT,
fed him in the advantageous position he held. Phe
gentleman from the borough, and his proegecs Of the
navy, doubt sigh for the constructive allowances
Of Tobias Watkins, and that corrupt facility in q

could bear docking Of small amount by way of loan
or could do it without bride, at the bidding of Sena
tor. For the votes of Senators actuated by such in
fluences who would give the suffrage Of Vice Pre-
sident, who has looked through and through the past
corruptions of the Departments at Washington under
their former management and who has twice received
from the people the second dignity in the Republic
for the purity and efficiency of his administra
ton?
