We advise the friends of Judge White in Virginia Of

4 sharp lookout There are signs of Treason in the
Camp. The Wing has scarcely said warm word for
White since the Caucus but has reserved almost all its
mamma for Harrison. There suspicious sigES of DIS
affection towards the "Farmcr Of Tcnness 'c"-and
strong marks Of affection towards 'he Farmer Of North
Bend" In his yesterdays No. he pngs off The pros
poets of Harrison in the North West and quotes lei

Harrison we and venture to promise that if he is
elected, Virginia will be supporter of hiselcction.

the ardent feelings could be reused in this section

very we'll should then be ready to drop HARRISON and
take Hhite But S,ca is not the case. Our clangclinG
neighbour may himself make the same discovery Of
these days.-That day seems not very distant.

THE .aBOLiTION QUESTION in the Senate Of the u S.
The Senate has determined to reccirc the pciitions-
and the question is now, rejecting their prayer. This
is Mr.. Buchanans mo:son-and Mr.. Clay has moved to
amend t-but We are sorry to see that his amendments
not strong enough They neither speak ofs be-

the constitutional charter In fact they milk and
water-nany league short Of MIR. Pinckneys rcsou

at Mr. Clays course. when learn that in his speech
he asserted the right of Congress TO emancatc the
slaves of the District Though he denied the cxpcdi
cncy of exercising their right.
For ourselves, we say frankly, that should have
been glad TO have rejected the petitions at once-and
slammed The door in the face of the Fanatics. PaUd-
ing, in his fine work Slavery has placed this matter up
such strong grounds, without touching the parlia-
mentary question however at ALL to satisfy all
Plies pom that head There is but one question with

would strengthen the Fanatics in the North, by giving

be, ,our friend, Governor Kent should be right in

all their Bsoas We wiIlwai,, then, till the next ses-
of Congress, in order to test its effect But in The

prayer ofthe Petitions, and certainly speak in much
stronger language than Mr.. Clay.
The Globe says, lsthat bill has been introduced in
the Ohio Legislature prohibiting the establishment Of
any branch or agency of the Bank OF the United
States in that State and prohibiting the circulation Of
lis tits believed that the bill will pass. This is
proper response and prompt one to tho provision for
extending the counterfeit bribery Bank OF the United
Stntes beyond its present confines. Pennsylvania will
give it the finishing blow next fall"
The piebad Legislature of Pennsylvania are already
threatening retaalinn-by of clause forbiddng
the establishment of branches, agencies, the circua
ton in its State, of notes of other Banks which forbid
the establishment Of Branches and circulation Of
of the u S. Bank in their borders-But despise
the hope that all the independent States will
march onacardS.
Meantime, the Democracy of Pennsylvania going
ahead The great meeting of the great county Of Berks
has passed resolution advising ,he Democratic Central
State Committee to recommend the call of meetings in
all the counties for the purpose of choosing Delegates
