alt will be remembered that in March last, Mr. Web.
ser introduced his bill for renewing short time the u
States Bark and notice that ne should probably bring
u up Tor consideration The first Monday in May From
the time was presented to the las, dates has lain
the table Mr. Webster did not think proper call up his
Bill on the first Monday OF May, aud whether he intends
10 urge il this session, uncertain Ii will be nber
ed that the Directors OF the Bank have resolved not TO
new their petition for Bank the present session: they
probably deemed il expedient forward pre-
sent in consequence OF the Presidents hostility 10 the
Bank and his ayowed TO oppose any similar
Bank.
81" will also be remembered that Mr. Webster declared
that he did oaer his bill at the instance of the Bank
Al the time il proposed Mr.. Leigh OF Virginia, who
decidedly opposed TO the Administration, nmaed that
he should deem his duty to oppose Mr. Websters bill for
renewal, and any other plan for Bank; but at the
same time n,ima,ed that ga condition Of things might be
dereioped which ,Uoufd change both his vcs and
those V pTgina on this subject" The .condtion Of
things contemplated may have been already "deueioped
in the Of the late Virginia elections, and in
the sniengs under Cen Jacksons experiment. against
the Bank
Mr. Leigh may therefore yet be convinced, that an
extension OF the Charter will be expedien Tor the welfare
Of the country; il so, he will doubt have magma
nimiiyto give support TO 10 which originally
he may have been opposed.
CAV the President has declared his promising hos
uliy TO the Bankan many members of the House
determined 10 FOLLOW the Executive in his reckless career
constitutional majority OF two thirds is not to be expected
The present session in favor OF renewal of the Charter
IL probably these Obstacles that have thus far prevented
Mr. Webster from railing up his Bill and they may ope
rate to prevent its being urged during the session Some
thing however, oughtto be done by Congress- to heal tue
pecuosry endorsements OF the country, and restore
confidence 10 business generally"
IIbe above remarks from the Boston Cenne We
shrewdly suspect that the "condfion of things is
yet "developed' in Virginia, which will prompt any
manto violate the Constitution, by voting for Bank. Ell
fas will be made TO induce the weak and waveriDg TO go
in favor OF Bankbut their number viii be Sound too
small to carry the avor,e object opposition the great
body OF the People Of Virginia.
AS 10 mr Websters Intentions il appears from his
marks Tuesday last that he nd 10 bring
forward his Biz duriag this seo'ion-EprroRs.l
FOR THE ENQUIRER
he promo itiono of
Senator OF the United States, TO exclude members of
Congress from Executive appointments. This Senator
not avoie oil Virginia, and therefore, is possible his
proposition may have been censued with severity dis
proporti0nate TO its merits.
Let us examine this matter little, and If can see
that good VIII be done, evil prevented be hasy
in oondemning a measure, because dislike the man
who proposed it, Give TO tho devil his due, and il the
fruit be good, letus not discard it, because pFeu-
die against The tree that produced il.
Suppose there FIVE candidates Tor the Pre-
cy tand rcsnno think IAN eSraaagdn supposion
that the people fail TO elect either that the contest in
the House OF Representatives is between Mr. Van Barren
AMI Mr. Johnson.
Suppose the House OF Representatives 10 BIO SO equally
divided, that Mr. McDutie and few OF his followers
have the decision in thsir hands. let suppose
that Mr. McDuHie hesseslong, in weighing the preien-
SONS OF the respective candidates before ho eau decide
which 10 prefer and that he finally out and gives
his support TO Martin Van Buren,
Suppose Mr. Van Buren, so as he goes into Office
calls on Mr. McDue TO be Secretary of State. In
like this, when the cry of bribery aud corruption began
to deaien our ears what could Congress say for them
selves in having refused this precautionary measure
Could not this Senator rise andsay Congress- I know
something OF the weakness OF human nature; loresaw
the possibility Of this case, and proposed a remedy-but
you beeded not. Ii may be said this is gned
True5 but it may happen Indeed, some thing not
very unlike IT has happened, in which OF the best
friends this Senator has in this world, conspicuous
actor. Then it that John Randolph, OF Roanoke,
proclaimed the coalition OF the Puritan with the Black
leg-and the union OF Blifil and Black George-To
that coalition or that union, Virginia contributed nothing
But this Old Dominion appears be little jealous OF her
younger sisters and has determined be oui-done by
them. Let another Biiih and Black George arise-snd
il avn not mistaken, she has knight already dubbed
who without doing any violence his nature, per-
senate Parson Twackhum.
