We congratulate the Spectator upon his
timely return to correct principles. Tho
"A little humliating 10 the pride OF "poor
human nature" it is never too late to rec
tifv errors in morals or politics; and we
are pleased to observe that the editor OF
he Spectator has manliness enough to ap
ply the corrective, at least 10 his political
|obliauities. Some time since we observed
in him strong symptoms of disposition
to take the field in opposition to the pre-
tensions of Gen. Duncan as candidate
for governor--,hat man who of all others
now before the people, has done most te
promote their interests. But the state Of
things is now greatly changed; the d'sai
lection of the Spectator has been corrected
or corrected itself, in the premonitory stage
The last number of that paper, in allusloI
to the proposition, brought forward by Gen
Duncan, to modify the charter of the U. :
bauk, holds language like this:
: "Should GEN DUNCAN succeed In this
2 he will deserve that applause from tn
. whole Union, which 0E-we are satlshed hl
K constituents will award him for his hrI
it and independent bearing in rela;lon TO 10
n great question on which he has been cal
n ed to act, and for the success which hs
l. attended his efforts to promote their pros
N peritv. His conduct offers a striking col
u trast to that of his colleagues. WINE u
a welfare of the state is his constant ar
lie their only desire seems to be that INT
to shall be considered the fast adherents

We insert to-day the speech of Mr.. Kane
on the protest. II will doubtless be exam
incd with attention by readers who have a
taste for such things. 1t settles several
very important constitutional principles,
which we do not recollect to have before
seen touched upon In public debate; such,
for instance, as that the senate has an I'm
questionable control over its journal--lhat
they have right to receive the protest if
they please--that the president had right
to ,rritc it &c. &c. On these questions we
shall not venture an opinion, choosing
rather to remain uncommitted upon matters
of SO great import. Mr.. Kane, however,
asserts one doctrine in which we fully
concur. 1t is, "That this session has al.
ready been sufficiently eXtended-and tha
the time for action on the necessary bust
ness of the country has arrived"!! A brie
review of the "business transactions" o
congress from the Sd December to thu
present time, is proof positive that MIR
Kane is above half right.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. Col Ev,ns
visited our place yesterday, and made rs n
speech 1t being first day of court, a good
NUMBER assembled to hear him. Col r.
is unr9 in nothing, and discloses his views
with a trankness that evinces sincerity
oh the seat-of-government question. he is
aloera' as we could expect. The law on
mat subject, he believes impolilic and pre-
mature; land that the agitation of the ones.
non, at present, ought to be dropped, in as
much as it tends to embarrass other meas
ures, in which the prosperity of the state
is more deeply concerned. He spoke of
the discussion of the question in the last
Legislature, as an unfortunate occurrence
brought about for reasons, and with motives
which he did not pretend to scan. He ex.
pressed no preference for one location over
others. s.--..
The school fund, he is of opinion, ought
20 be made effective in aid of schools no,,
and maintains that the presen, population
who have submitted to the privations in
cldent to the settlement Of new country
have a better right to its benefits than
people yet to come, "whom we know moth.
ing Off
AS to the public lands Col. L. main,
tains that the price ought to be reduced
and donations made to actual settlers. &c
&c.

vote of is to ~. The injunction of Sc.
erecy having been removed, and the exec
otlve proceedings, on these several nomin-
ations, published when we have more
room we shall take more notice of them
The Globe intimates that as the senate, in
the rejection, does not deny the right of the
government directors to examine and re-
port the proceedings Of the bank to the
President at his request, he will nominate
other directors soon.

THE PROTEST IN VIRGINIA. The En-
Iqulrer seems not at all pleased with sssucI
document as the protest. Though cx
caedIngly cautious to vary, but rarely, from
the opinions of the president, The willy edl
tor is unwilling to risk his popularity il
endorsing, without recourse, the late ema
nation from executive authority. In his
paper OF the 22d ult. ne says.
''We are free to confess we would rather
not have seen so long and elaborate pa
per, emanaling at this time from the ad-
"ihistra'lon. "But we ale free to
NIT that no possible doubt should exist on
this great principle" that congress has the
con'iol, at all times, of the public money1
THAT there are expressions which out to
De explained by the president himself
and we are prepared to say, in the face of
ms people, that If he does not disclaim
the meaning which has been ascr,bed to
them, we most solemnly protest against this
meaning. We soIemnly disclam the dan
Serous and extravagant doctrine which it
would involve. We say again, we for one,
distinctly maintain the great principle.
that congress has the right to place it in
the hands of persons who are beyond the
executive control-that if the Legislative
power gives it to executive officers, which
he is AUTHORISED to nominate and superin-
tend, he then can control them--but if to
others, he cannot"
This much was said before the explana.
tory message of the 2lst was circulated,
and probably under an intimation that
such document would, in due season, be
forth coming. Its sudden appearance at
once removes the clouds Of doubt and
makes all fair weather again. On the 25,h
we hear the Enquirer speaking on this
wise. In allusion to the executive expla-
nation, he says:
SIT clears up every doubt about the true
Interpretation Of the presidents protest. 1t
distinctly recognizes the constitutional
power Of the legislature to designate tho
places where the public money or property
is to be deposited-and disclaims on the
part of the executive, all right to super
wise or interfere with the person entrusted
with the public property, unless he be a
person for whose conduct the president isl
constitutionally responsible"
But notwithstanding the explanation, the
primary protest has had its effect. The
Enquirer of the Goth admits it. "The
Baltimore Patriot" says the editor, "thinksl
that the protest was just in time to turn the
scale against the administration, in several
counties in Virginia. For once we agree
with him. - We cannot doubt that this
important coup d. etdt has contributed to
produce the effect which the Patriot de-
scribes. 1t has turned the scale in Hano-
yer, and from all we can learn in Culpep-
Grand perhaps in Amelia--and we know
not how far it may have affected the nu-
merous and important elections which took
place yesterday. The administration may
feel it In Orange and Halifax, &c. &C.
