FEDERAL RELATIONS

The debate in the House of Delegates has beep
waxing warm for three days. 1t has excited much
i.eresI, ana let OFT much of the steam! On Thurs
day some OF the best debaters took the field. Sc
yeral new members made their maiden speecbes-
hr. Janney OF Loudoun made vigorous effort and
produced q strong impression. Mr. Garland of
MeckienOurg made splendid debut. We suspect

Rights men las they are sometimes calIedl would
JOIN them in scoring the administration; but thew
dislike the Imputation Of being friends to nm uncon

between these Opposition Partes-nnd the effort
Is eWdently making TO do away the resolution
ADOPTED on wednesday against the constit,,tionnltv

against the President for his withdrawal oftl,e De
