n Senator Rircs-The Alexandria Gazette
says, the speech of Mr.. Rives, IN the Senate oftho
United States, has raised his reputation 10 high
pitch throughout tho Union, as statesman and an
orator, and adds. " We think Mr. Rives has been
treated most unfairly by some of the Virginia pa
pers." This is unqucstionably true for, although
they have published the speech ITSELF they well
aware that many readers of newspapers overlook
such long articles, and depend for their know
ledge of the principles avowej in them, and the
editorial synopsis or comment. These have been, in
some instances it'll regard to Mr.. RIveos speech
most unfair and dsingenuous perversions Of the
text.
! But Mr.. Rives has been otherwise unfairly dealt
with, as the following littlc anecdote will show
A candidate on an electonecrng tour, in a CONVEX
saton with an Intelligent voter, was astonished
to hear that Mr.. Rives was educated in England,
and that his speech was a TRADE against republican
principles, and in favor OF monarchy. Luckily.
the candidate had copy Of the speech with him,
and presented it to the voter, who pcrusing it,
agreed with it most heartily. Some person had cvi-
IDENTIFY taken advantage Of syoter's ignorance ofa
particular fact, in relation to the personal history Of
NJ. Ri'es, to injure him, and through him, those
who advocated similar political principles
