The clumsy thinkers Of the currency, il will

day, until the Senate should be full. He
would name Tuesday, the 10th.
Mr.. Peter opposed the motion TO post

He was for a full, free, and unbiased ex
preston, unaided by these gentlemen. He
knew nothing of his own knowledge, but
he was told of such movements, and he
thought they deserved the severest repro
baton of the House. For this reason he
would postpone, even until the Slst Of
March.
MIR. Davenport saw no necessity for
postponemen,; but il il was TO be done. IT
had better be for two or three weeks.
There were lobby members at work for all
the candidates except one-that ones

would continue so TO rest-Iie was well
known to a portion of the House. and will
ling TO abide the issue. The people
thought their delegates competent TO man
age all the duties confded to them with
out the aid of gentlemen from other quar-
tiers. MIR. ID. said the salary Of the judge
ship was so low as to restrict the choice
very much. There was, however, a res
~olution under consideration, proposing
some addition TO the compensation of the
judges. and if this were favorably received
a gentleman could be obtained upon whom
all would unite If, therefore, there was
a disposition to postpone, he would name
Monday the 25d instant.
MIR. Watkins then withdrew his motion
TO postpone to the 10th, and the question
was taken on the 23d, and agreed to.
Mr.. Davenport was appointed to com
munica,e the postponement oil the election
to the Senate, and a message was recei
we'd from that body %concurring therein.
A petition was presented by Mr.: Peter,

Doue1E puTY,-AN ACTIVE CoSeREssMAS
We ask the attention of the citizens Of thi;
Confessional district TO the importance Of the
services rendered by their Representive in Con
gress. He cannot, il appears, find sufficient en-
Yloyment in Congress, but must needs abandon
his post for the purpose of enlightening the de-
mocracy of the Virginia Legislature in the mat
ter Of the selection ofa Judge. Until President
Jackson took the field openly as an electioneerer
for Mr.. Van Buren,, we think it would have been
deemed somewhat undignifed and indicate for
a member OF Congress to have deserted his post
al Washington and become a lobby member Of
the Legislature, urging the appointment OF a
Judge upon political grounds. We have had a
friend of tho administration upon the bench for
some years in this district, and are not aware
that any Whig. is a whit the worse OF his poll
tics, but it is easy to conceive what result must
be attained, if modern democratic republicomism
is to constitute the standard of fitness for the
judicial ermine.
We add an article from the Richmond Wing,
and publish in another column, the debate on
the postponement of TIE election Of Judge IN
both of which, our Congressman's agency is
complimented as il merits.
The Wing ays:-"W We are informed that
the Hon. Mr.. Lucas, the Representative in Con-
eress from the Jefferson District, has deemed
the appointment of Mr.. Senator Parker's sue
cessor 10 the bench of sufficient importance to
require his personal attendance upon the House
of Delegates, and that he has electioneered az
lively and openly upon the ground that being a
member of the dominant party he was entitled
10 the vote of the party. The fact was alluded
20 in tho debate upon the proposition to postpone
the election, and we are informed by a member
{whose politics were probably mistakenly that
the claims of the candidate referred to were
pressed before him upon the ground of party,
and that he expressed his adherence 10 COL
Lucas of the idea that judicial appointments
should be made upon party grounds; whereupon
lucas contended that as the General Court was
at present composed chiefly of Wings was
lust and proper to appoint a Democratic Rep"o-
lican."
