e" The long agony rs over" The question when
defines tho position Of Virginia IN the great contest
now IN progress between Power and Right, and
marks her undated and unabaleoble allegiance to
the old cause the good old cause, Sidney called
tot human right against power, is decided Ben
jamjn Watkins Leigh IS reelected to the Senate OF
the United States, by majority small IN number
indeed, but which, while it - sufficient 10 the end,
the enthusiasm OF public opinion reflected IN tins
city by numerous visitors from all quarters OF the
Stde the firm and determined spirit OF resistance
to TX, cnlise usurpaiion which we see here exhlb
tied ond hich is manifested to uo from every por-
ton Of tho Common wealth, assures us will be in
crcastd and enlarged from day TO day, until Vngi-
MIA dsenthracd from man worship, will again, as
in her days Of Glory, present an almost unbroken
front resistance OF federal aggression, and an al
most unanimous discrimination to stand unlalter-
ingly by the Rights Of tho Stotcs and OF the Peo-
pie,
The House having again proceeded, on motion
of MIR Johnson Of Richmond n execute the order
of the day for Tho election of Senator of the United
States Mr. Kincheoe addressed the House for
some lime, IN defence of the Administrator and IN
opposition to MIR. Leigh. When he had concluded
| Mr. Brown of Petersburg, rose and eddre ssed the
House for more than two hours, in speech which
we believe we speak the universal sentiment IN de
scribing as the highest effort of iotellec, made in
tho Councils of this Sute within the present gene
ration All parties confess TO the supremacy of It's
power Il grand display of argument and elo-
quence. We have never known so deep IN impress
SION made by any speech; nor did we ever wit
ness on any other occasion, SO enthusiastic and
general n congraluaton. We congratulate the
Opposition that their cause called out SO noble DIS
play of intellect, and WAS dcmonsrt ted unan-
swerably, to be the Cause of the Constitution, and
OF human liberty We are happy 10 state also, that
i,r wnG Mt AZ ed
hers of Assembly, and We hope TINT many citizens
will be found cooperate to publish 80 600 copies
of Mr.. Browns speech for distribution among the
people. Every citizen Of Virginia ought to be sup
Piled with copy.
MIR Browns speech had and will have. the hap
piest tendency, in throwing down those speculative
and.theoretical differences which exist between the
two wings ofthe grca. Wing party. Already this
tendency was apparent and powerful produced by
other causes. MIR Barton yes erday, declared, with
feeling that exorcd the applause of the galleries,
that he had been cailed Fcdsralia but that
henceforward, his affections, his eSertions and If
: need be- has purse, should be devoted to Virginia
and her rights That whlch we have laborod 10 eff
fect-whlch we have lonsed to see as the rainbow
of political salvation the consolidation of all the
opponents of Federal usurpa'on upon the basis OF
strict construction of the Federal compact is on the
eve of accomplishment, in Virginia at least.-Soon
Will the tauntS OF inc irlcnuS OF loWef-that the
Opposition is pobad party dscordant in priue
pie, and differing in Interior views, be untrue IN
fact, us it is now but an illustration of the enorm-
ties oil an Administrations which has united in a
common cause men of the most opposite seni-
menls.
