But Notwithstanding all this, ] feel,

him during the war. Look at him on
the Missouri question. Look at HIM
on the Compromise Bill. How much
he Surrendered of friends and friend

now, as bold, as heroic as ever,-ne-
yer finching, never keeping in the

aloft, and tell me who can, that such
a man S not Patriot. Ambitious il
he be, ambitious only to serve his

"New Orleans, THE lustre Of which

ment.
These reflections have been arous.
ed from the manner in which Mr.. Clay
to day responded to a compliment from
Mr.. Mangum, of N. Carolina, in allud.
ing to his Compromise bill. Give me
not all the honor, he said, for my hum
bic services, as there was another gen.
tleman from little but gallant State,
(Mr. Clayton, of Delaware) who was
as instrumental as | was IN bringing
this about. This disclaimer is but a
singl trait in the character of Henry
Clay,-the man whom so many har.
messed presses now abuse, and who, as
they abuse him, rises higher and high

MR. EDIToR.-I most heartily congratulate, |
the citizens of my native county, upon the state
Of affairs in the Old Dominion But, more par
do | congratulate them upon the glori.
Gus triumph of the Wings of Berkeley over the
Tones. They came forth boldly at the last e
lection, and declared their heartfelt Indignation
at the conduct Of the Executive, by voting for
those who will firmly resist tyrannical power
and they do not find themselves alone. Thou.
sands Of Virginia's noble sons have forsaken the
banners of the American tyrant, and announced
their Willingness TO embark in the cause Of the
| people, and the peoples rights. Freemcn of Old
| Berkeley you stand not alone! The scales of
prejudice have fallen from the eyes of your fell
low citizens; and they are manifestine, by the
mighty revolution that is working throughout
the State, that they about to burst the chains
OF oppression, and arise in their might, to asser,
| the claims Of frcemen.
From the last returns received here, il ap-
pears out CT II representatives elected, so arc
Wings. How different from the returns of last
year What triumph of liberty over tyranny!
of freedom over dcspotic rule! The eyes of the
Union arc intrntly fixed on the Old Dominion
And as III y behold her rising in her ancient
strength and greatness, her sister States seem 70
exclaim, in language similar to that which lately
fell from the lips of the eloquent Clay: go on,
noble State Go on, patriotic Whigs!" Go
on! until you shall b. reyerenced for the purity
! Ct your political course, you now are for YOUR
antiquity among the States. Go on! and YOU
shall receive the plaudits Of a world that now
behoIds with interest our political course. Vir-
ginians have been too long blind TO their trues-
nterest. They have h,r tofore been misguidcd
IN I'll -ir st ps, and have blindly followed the vic
tor Of New Orleans, until the mists Of prejudice
were disp II from th'ir eyes, aud they bcheld
HIM IA his real character.
il is hghtime for the people Of the State which
gave me birth, TO awake from their slumbers
The present is mcmentous crisis. One which
calls loudly for every American TO come boldly
forward. aud resist the cncroachments of lawless
power! Virginia has been, heretofore, travelling
the path that |, ads TO national destruction And
now, sncc the truth has flashed across her
mind, aud she has been brought TO repent
deeply for her former course, | sincerely hope
her high born sons will ever hereafter adhere &c
those true principles Of government, whose prac-
tce will restore peace and tranquility to our agi
tatcd country. o. P. @.

The PRoTEsT.-We have already
remarked that the opposition prints,
with but one or two exceptions, regard
the Explanatory Message of the Pres-
dent as disclaimer or recantation of
that part of the Protest which relates
to the custody of the public money!
Mr.. Webster thought that it left the
matter just as it stood before; and it
appears from the following extract
from Mr.. CIay's speech on the Protest,
delivered in the Senate on the 30th Of
April, that such is his opinion and that
of another distinguished Senator.
"Cong ess in the cpnion of the Presi-
dent: cannot take from him the custo-
dy Of the public property and the pub
lie purse, ''without an assumption Of
Executive power, and subversion Of
the first principles oftheConsttulion."
This is the language of the original
Protest, and | concur with my friend
from Maine, (Mr. SPRAGUE,) that the
supplement makes no essential change.
That, he clearly proved, this morning,
to the Senate. The language is some
what mystifed by the Supplement, but
the President has not let 90 one parti-
Gle of the power claimed and asserted
in the principal document. He admits,
indeed in the supplement, ''without re.
serve, the Constitutional power of the
Legislature to provide by law the place
or places in which the public money or
other property is to be deposited, and
to make such regulations concerning
its custody, removal, or disposition, as
they may think proper to enact"
But he had asserted in the Protest,
chat "no officer can be created by
Congress for the purpose of taking
charge of it, whose appointment would
not, by the Constitution, at once de.
volve on the President, and who would
not be responsible to him for the faith
full performance of his duties;" and that
Congress "cannot take out Of the hands
of the Executive department the custo-
dy of the public property, or money,
without an assumption Of Executive
power, and a subversion of the first
principles of the Constitution" These
assertions remain unretracted, urcon.
tradIcted in the supplement. The Pro
test claims for the President the right
TO app lint any officer that Congress
may designate to take charge of the
Treasury, and the right to control
him; and this claim is not abandoned
or Withdrawn by the supplement. lis
apparent concessions amount to moth.
ing, unless the President would with.
draw the qualification which he has
imposed"

The Gouernment Bank Drectors.--The Pre-
sident in his arrogant message re- nominal ne the
four Gov rnment Bank Directors, made an indi.
rect threat that in Of their rejection by the
Senate. he should not again nominate individuals
for these offices. The S,nate have rejected
them--and now we are told by the Globe that
other persons will be nominated, and the 600
yernment' crceps ont at the smallest hole ina
ginabie. The President, says the Globe, iniers
from the report Of the Committee Of the Senate
on this subject, that the nominations Of the pre-
sent directors may haze been rejected on other
grounds than tn ,ir conduct in making their com
nunications to the esident--and therefore it Is,
that our sovereign lord the President will condo
scend to make other nominations. The excuse
for this backing out is ridiculous and absurd. NJ
such inference can be drawn from the proceed
ings Of the Senate, and it might have been de
duced from the first rejection as easily as from
the second. The simple truth is that the eco
vernment" is forced TO draw in its prctcnsons
The firm and consistent opposition Of the Senate
backed as it is now known to b., by the people
is too strong for the Dsspotism of Andrew Jack
son, the cunning Of Martin Van Buren,, and III
base corruption of the Kitchen Cabinet.

Mr.. Speaker Stevenson is numerically roasted

he occupies since the opinions Of his constituents
have been tested by the recent elections. In his
letter TO Governor Floyd, in which he refused 10
accede 10 the request the Legislature that h.
would aid 10 carry its resolutions into effect, h.
placed his refusal on the ground that the Lrgis
iature had misrcprcsentcd the people, there by
intimating that he was ready TO obey the will Of
his constituents, if fairly made known to HIM
The votes in his district must have given him he
most satisfactory information on that point The
aggregate is as follows:

The fnqusitoriai Committee, in entering upon
the performance Of their duty, Of ferreting out
the iniquities Of the Bank, carried matters with
high haad They demanded all copies OF let
tiers to the Directors Of the Bank, from mem
beers Of Congress &c To the honor Of the Go
yernment Of the Bank, this insolcnt attempt to
pry into the private papers Of individuals,
was rcpelled without parlcy. II was supposed
that The Committee, thus foilcd in this disgrace
ful att mpt, would Immediately retrace their
steps 70 Washington, and make denunciatory
report against the Bank We shall see.
The P'oied-Iiw be perceived by reference
to the Congressional head, that the Protest Of the
President has been refused an insertion on the
journal Of the stnaie-in other word,-it has
been thrown under The table. This result was
anticipated, and is such as we trust will always
attend the attempt Of President of the United
States to assume powers which the Constitution
has not bestowed upon him, and which, il yielded

potism.
