is incxpedent for the Legislature at It's present

interesting subject Of s!auery, as existing in the
State of Virginia; and indeed it is matter which

The reason why the writer of this, at this time
says any thing upon the subject is, that he feels
and knows that tho Legislature has no more to do

u In reference to his agency in tho explosion
of the late Cabinet, and tho failure of the Senate
to institute n scrutiny thcrain, proposed by the
resolution of Mr.. Holmes, the Gobo remarks:
"Tho Resolution which Mr.. Homos offered in
the Senate, and which will be found in the Execu-
tive Journal together with the abusive articles with
which the Telegraph teens, under the direction of
DIR. Calhoun, indicates that the course taken by
Messis. Clay and Calhoun, is now to be supported
by flooding the country with calumnies. But the
public decision has been heard already, upon the
circumstances to which tho resolution of Mr..
Holmes points. IF tho party in the Senate, who
now seek to shelter themselves under the odious
suspicious they attempt to raise upon this subject,
had believed that there the least foundation for
them, they would not have failed to press tho in
vestigation proposed by the resouton.-How
will the public tolerate the conduct of these men,
Who having promised q thorough enquiry into this
subject during the last summer, part of their
winters labor-who, having entered upon it, as
is seen in the proceedings wo publish, found
themselves Obliged at last to retract-and utterly
hopeless of establishing any thing but the inno-
cence Of the person whom they accused, have now
finally determined to destroy him without trial,
and Justify themselves upon tho groundlcss impu-

we'd to propagate merely by repetition. Mr.. Van
Burcn seems peculiarly unfortunate. When pre-
sent, and arraigned directly charges preferred
by Mr. Calhoun, he denied them explicitly, and
called for the proof. He met by the de clara

rivals-without trial-without evdence-and after
a virtual admission that they could produce mono"
All this is very satisfactorily answered by Mr..
Holmes, in a note appended to his speech on the
nomination, which the reader will have an carly
opportunity of seeing. If fearless of the conse-
qucnccs of scrutiny, why did Mr.. Van Bu-
rcn's friends in the Senate, oppose one? Why did
they object 10 Mr.. Holmes resolution What a
shallow prctencc to evadc the investigation, was
the one set up-namsly, that the Senate might per-
chance, stumble in this legislative enquiry, upon
Improbable matter which they might afterwards
be called to decide upon judically? Why not
Mr.. Clement admitted to givo the evidence winch

COMFORT.

We oro glad the Globe has been oblc to find
drop of comfort at the bottom Of the cup of bitter
ness which the Senate has administered to tho par
tizons of MIR. Van Buren,. 1t says, "Thoy CTazo-
well and Tyler nobly sustained the noble charac-
ter Of their State on the occasion, and tho moral
worth Of the Virginia vote, is OF the most con-
song circumstances which attends the mortliiea-
ton sc feel for the defeat Of the nomination"
We congratulate the Virginia Senators upon the
grace they have found with tho Court Journal
hsay 1t compensate them for any other loss they
may incur from their course. Last winter, they
wcro IN bad odour with the Globe, and the Couric
~ Enquirer; denounced traitors to Virginia and
jackson, for opposing tho Turkish Treaty. Now
they are "noblo" fcllows-chorished with the mos;
luscious hattery-of such high "moral WORTH" that
Van Buren and his friends, in their approval, find
consolation for their modification. We again con
graduate them, upon their restoration to good odow
at the Palacc. This act has oblitoratcd all then
sins and the memory thereof They hardly
ask any thing which will now be refused, to sucf
