ALEXANDRIA, Jan. ~.
For two days, Mr.. Webster entertained
a numerous audience no WEAKNESS, no sa-
tiety was felt but every man drank in with
pleasure and delight the deep clear tones
of his voice, unconscious of the progress of
time. He was calm, collected and dignifi-
ed. He showed that the shafts of his an
tagonist had fallen harmless at his feet. At
times he was severe and sarcastic. His
irony, pointed and delicate, penetrated ev-
cry thrust. The very weapons that had
been used against him, he seized, and turn
ed into instruments OF attack upon his as
sailant. But the second day, in his argu-
ment upon the constitutional power of a
State to nullify an act of Congress, he was
eminently great. To use figure of Mr..
Haynes he bore off upon his shoulders the
pillars of the temple of ignorance and preiu-
dice, and let the light of reason in upon the
worshippers there. The peroration of his
speech was more than eloquent-it was sub
lime. The breathless attention of the au i.
dlence, while it lasted, and the murmur of
applause that involuntariy broke from al
most every spectator, bore witness 70 the
orators power. His political opponents
ceased for the moment TO retain hard
thought against him, and bowed to the mai
esty Of mind.
That this brilliant effort will have the eff
feet of producing better state of feeling
throughout the country, we have no doubt.
That it will elevate Mr.. Webster still high
er in the estimation Of the public, is also
equally certain; and on all accounts, we
are glad that an opportunity has been given
him for saying exactly ,ohat he did say

now dedicated, is the second which has heen

WASHINGTON. Feb. g.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.
1t is generally understood, that great con-
fusion prevails in some of the public Offices,
owing to the incompetency of the new Off
GERS to perform the duties to which they
have been appointed. There has been a
curious correspondence between the Fourth
Auditor and one of his discarded clerks
The object of the Auditor was, to possess
himself of certain tables which the clerk
had constructed, with view to facilitate
his own labors, and which could only he
constructed by the union of considerable
knowledge and labor. When the new clerk
came into Office to succeed the gentleman
to whom allude, he soon found that he had
undertaken something which night turn
to his own, but was not likely to promote
the public, benefit. Matters were referred
to him, of which he knew about as much as
he did of the longitude, the perpetual mo-
ton, or the transmutation of metals. He
was at Il stand still, as soon as he started !;
and as the Fourth Auditor was about as
profoundly ignorant as his clerk, nothing re-
manned but to go to the discarded-the dis
owned-for information. 1t was asked for
in vain. AS soon as it was discovered, that
the gentleman who had been dismissed, was
in possession of a mode by which he per-
formed these difficult duties with ease, that
he had certain tables in his possession
which were easy and infallible guides, the
tables were demanded of him as public
property. He donied that the public had
any thing to do with that which his ingenu-
ity had prepared to save him much toll and
perplexity: and thus the matter stands
The old officer will not lend any assistance,
and the new one, with the aid of the Fourth
Auditor, is not able to find out any mode of
relieving himself from the perplexty, and
the public interest from the injury, which
results from his ignorance.

of this government are SO heretical as to
cast him far into the shade of his towering
opponent, whose analysis of constitutional
law, and the elements of reform and revolu-
ton, are not excelled by all the numbers of
the "FEDERALIsT." Mr.. Webster owes it
to his reputation, to the country, and to the
constituents of this government in all time,

BANKS. The recent developments, relating
to Banks, have induced the Legislature to make
further Investigations. By our Legislative
Journal it will be seen that the concerns of the
Brighton Bank are to DO inquired into. From
the manner in which the proposition for COM
mittee was met, it is evident that some people
believe that the report will not tell well in the
community. Various modes were resorted to-.
to evade the inquiry, by motions for postpone
ment, &c, but without success The Presi.
dent of this Bank is the same person, who was
so deeply concerned in the Belchertown Bank,
and who sold out above ninety thousand dOI-
lars of the capital stock, of that institution at
fire per cent. premium! We hope that the
Legislature will persevere in the work thev have
undertaken, and exercise all due caution in re.
newing charters, fully believing, as we do that
the losses sustained by the failure Of banks are
triAing, compared with the other evils to the
community which grow out Of unsound money
ed institutions.

THE CHEROKEE INDIANS.

The Cherokee Phoenix Of the 18th August con-
,ans under his own signature, and dated oOth
June. 1850, the Iopiniun of Mr.. Writ, ''On the
RIGHT of the State Of Georgia to extend her laws
ever the Cherokee NatiOn.' After discussing
the subject at great length, Mr.. Writ comes to
the following CONCLUSIONS, VIZ:
81. That the Cherokees are sovereign ma
non; and that their having placed themselves
under the protection Of the United States does
sot at all impair their sovereignty and indepen-
aence rs 4 nation.
-. That the territory Of the Cherokees is not
within the jurisdiction of the State OF Georgia.
but within the sole and exclusive Jurisdiction OF
the Cherokee Nation.
rs. That consequently, the State of Geor-
:ia has no right to extend her laws over that terri
tOfy.
"a That the law of Georgia which has been
placed before me, is unconstitutional and void
l. because it is repugaant to the treaties between
The United States and the Cherokee nations
,. because it is repugnant to law OF the United
States passed in 1902, entitled ''An act to regu.
late trade and internal intercourse, with the In
dian tribes, and to preserve peace on the from
tiers S. besause it is repugnant to the c0nsti
tuition, inasmach as it impars the obligation OF all
the contracts arising under the treaties witt
the Cherokees; and affects moreover to regulate
intercourse with an Indian tribe, power which
belongs exclusively to Congress"
