pherson Berrien occupied place in the affections
and admiration OF the Southern (and we dare say
the Northern) community, very much resembling,
and scarcely below, that once held by james Alex
andcr Bayard, William Lowndos. 1t was
'witiiout fear and without reproRch reputation,
upon which the waves OF party beat in vain. As in
Rome, the testimony of Cato deemed concu-
sve, SO 1t was not uncommon, pending the late
controversy, growing ont OF the dissolution of the
Cabinet, for persons at q loss what whom to be-
licvc, to rePose themselves their faith in Judge
Berrien, and lock no farther. And now how does
he stand! The annexed quotation from the Journal
of Commerce is i fair illustration o. the general
sentiment. And if he shoald succeed in re-csta-
b!ishing himself with the majority, what does he
gain in recompence of the loss Of such reputa-
iion-so elevated, and chaste? Memo semper sapit,
is too negative TO convey just idea Of the extromi-
ty of Fir. B's. want of Judgment, to give it no
harder namo. Verify he has denudsd himself Of
a fame OF more worth than the Presidency, and wo

voured, for no other save that o: his repks
nance 10 the mGtiga Influence. / could not resist
the iarpulSe OF my partality, and therefore occa-
sonally took up a stick and beat them off. In his
late speech at Medecyilie, he has made war not
only upon his whole public and private career, but
upon the confidence and calculations of all his
friends in his magnaniTu ty and trmness. lie may
now most wrechedly oppose himself TO the jeers
of the Globe, and the contradictions OF the ero ol

APOLOGY.

On Saturday, speaking of the late Caucus, we
said that if inclination alone had been consulted,
the Caucus would not have been attended by more
than twenty of the greatest ignoramuscs of the
Assembly.
Wo understand this expression has given some
ofence-and, without being moved to it by any
fear of consequences, for have such fear
but on the contrary, if we apprehended consequen-
would not for that very reason, do any thing
which implied disposition TO shrink from thcm-
moved to it exclusively, by regret for having used
observation which does not express our true
feeling for the General Assembly, we beg leave
frankly voluntarily, and unapprehendingly, to re-
tract it. Weknow every member of the House of
Delegates personally-and there is not ono to
whom the term ''ignorapus" can be applied with
rny sort of Justice. True, there is graduation of
talent and understanding, but have been now,
afirm that the back and silent benches, that Por-
ton of the House which makes no figure in debate
or i'll tho newspapers contains its soundest judg-
anent and gives the wsest votes.
Those who write much and as hastily as we
do, having often opportunity of revising what
they write, and never seeing it until it appears in
print, must often say things which they regret.
At least do. Such is the fact here. We in
tended to speak comparatively. Ignoramus is u
word of positive import which too just as
well too polite, TO have used the OCCASION if
the Devil had not been hurrying us for copy.

Gus about the politics of Il Vice Presidents then as
said before, there is something in this matter,
that has not met the public eye; and what that
someth q is, remains to he asccrtaincd-nnon tho
hypothesis that the predominant, Richie Party
in Virginia, are faithful in the opposition to the
Bank, to the Tariff, and 10 the Distribution OF the
Surplus Revenue, and that they make these qucs-
tiors, the test Of their support Of candidate for
President. The conclusion is Il fair one and inev-
derstandng with Gen. Jackson, that he will 20
with them against these measures, while he is al
lowed 70 hold out such coors, as may bring TO his
support, part at least Of those decidedly III favor

well enough for Mr.. Writ to preserve the attitude

since that nomination has been cast against him,

Few, who rail against the decision of tho House OF

reefs, but leave them to pursue their own course
with the same freedom that [ kavo determined to
pursue mine; this then has had weight with me
IN iorning the determination, to decline tho kind
invitation OF my friends TO declare myselfa candi-
date for their SURFACES.
This determination was long since formed, in
winch was acIuotcd by single motive; the con-
vlction OF my own mind being, that decacy aud

would serve if elected! 1t would bo the gros-
sest aticctaton in me, and manifestation of n
want OF proper regard for tho respect and esteem

result would be otherwise than gratifying; We, it is
