a struggle unparalleled in Virginia at
least; and the political elements which
entered into that struggle ought now to
cease. But i; seems this is not to be the
case. We have not been the advocates
Of Mr. Leigh-nor have we of Mr..
Rives and considering the question now
settled, it is altogether useless to harrass
the people any further on the subject.
Mr.. Leigh is now legitimately one OF our
Senators, and we have no doubt he will
do honor to himselfand to the state he
represents. Before the end of six years,
Virginia, we hope, will look through 9TH
er spectaeles than those described by
| MAJOR Downing. She has, however, so
far, done well--but there is one thing
more for her TO do, and which ought to
be done now, and which would discon-
cert Van Burenism much more than
the election of Mr.. Leigh. The south-
ern presentation of Mr.. White is well cal
culated to deceive the unrefecting and
dissatisfied. and all such as have no DE.
FINITE political principles for their guide.

On the 2Sth inst, 10 The Senate, Mr..

following resolution:
Resol0cd, That the General Post
Office is deeply in debt-its accounts
and reports irregular, unsatisfactory,
and, in many instances, untrue that
large sums Of public money have been
wasted, and paid over TO favored in
dividuaIs upon false pretences-and
that its conduct and administrator are
justly the subject of public complaint,
and demand radical reform.
On the same day, the resolutions Of
the Alabama Legislature were present
ed, instructing their Senators in Con.
gress to use their untiring efforts to
cause to be expunged from the Jour-
mails Of the Senate the resolutions OF
the last session, relative to the removal
Of the public deposites from the Bank
Of the United States, and motion to

O. At present, it seems, there is no
pressure in the money market of Phila-
delphia on the contrary,.;s is said, that
their Banking Institutions and large cap

at their command, in such way as to
give satisfaction.
