views on the subject Of the reduction Of the
Tariff, proposed in the bill introduced by
Mr.. Cambreling.
"1 have had and still have my doubts
whether such measure can he carried

however, by Mr.. Mulenburgh Of Pennsyl-

The General Assembly passed, ut their
late session, resolutions instructing our
Senators in Congress, to aid in expunging
from the records of the Senate, the registry
of the censure Of that body upon the Exec
utiye, for the removal of the dcposites from
the Bank of the United States 1t must he
admitted, that the action of our Legislature,
on this subject, occurred at rather late pc.
riod, and at a time when no effect could be
produced on the conduct of The Senators
from this State.
But 1t is not merely In regard to its in
fuence upon them, that the resolution of
the Assembly to which we have alluded is
to be considered. 1t is to be viewed as a
striking instance Of the change which often
takes place in the public mind, when the
high excitement raised by party has pissed
away, and time has afforded an ample field
for experiment and reflection.
No State in the Union was more indip-
nant at the course of the President in rela-
ton to the Bank-none more apprehensive
of evil consequences from his avowed and
determined hostility to that institution
none where the panic operated with more
irritating influence than this. There we're
those among the prominent udherents of
the administration, who disapproved the
net of the Executive, and dreaded the re-
suits as dangerous TO the ascenduncy of the
party. But the slow, sure process Of time
and experience has satisfied not only the
friends, but many of those once the oppo-
nents OF the administration, that the remo-
val was measure, not more bold and de-
termined, than it was wise and salutary.
State after State instructed their Senators
IN Congress to vote for cxpunging from the
records of the Senate the reproacb there
written, under the malign influence of dis
appointed political rivalry and Bank bought
seryility, upon n man whose integrity his
political foes have been compelled 10 nc
knowledge, aud whose whole life has been
devoted to the best Interests Of his country.
The civilized world is now bearing witness
to the virtues and patriotism Of Andrew
Jackson.
II, therefore, Rhode-Island seems to have
been slow in proneuncing her Judgment on
the course Of the triumvirate Of the Senate,
towards the worihiest citizen Of the Re-
public, let that judgment he esteemed the
more. ns the result Of mature deIibera,ion.

po.ed that he will accompany an expadit-
ion which is to attempt landing on the coast
of Portugal.
By arrivals at New Orleans, important
news has been received from Mexico, Tex
as and Cuba.
The Mexicans it is said are determined
to enter Texas again, in the course of next
month, with an army of to 6OOO men.
They are making every preparation for the
campaigne, and nothing will prevent it ex-
cept the want of money. II is the opinion
a, Metamoras that, if they had money TO
pay the troops with, they might enter Tex
MS with 5000 men. Gen. Bravo, with 1000
men was at Monterey, about 900 miles from
Mctamoras on his way to Texas. He had
great trouble in bringing his forces forward,
having shot five of his officers on the march
for mnliny." The Minister of the Mexi-
can Government to the United States had
arrived mt Mexico, and has advised his Gov
ernment to declare war with the United
States.
The Texan Congress has adjourned to
lst of April next, when they are to meet at
the new city of Houston, near Galveston
Bay. Col. Austin died at Columbia on the
Goth ult The army is encamped near La
Bexar Gen. Houston being aware of the
intentions of the Mexicans, has gone to re-
view his army and give them warm re-
ception.
The eight American seamen, belonging
to the sloop of war Natchez, who were i'm
prisoned at Vera Cruz, have been released
BY the news from Cuba, it appears the
account of Lorehzo's having annulled his
proclamation, is not correct. The account
states that he still maintained his position,
and has issued another proclamation in
strong language to the army. The troops
under his command had sworn fidelity to
the Constitution ofISl2, and had determn-
ed at all hazards to support it and protect
Gen. l.. 1000 men from Havana had
landed on the l4lh Dec. at Yabaria, and
were daily expected at St. Jago; battle
may therefore soon occur. The situation
of The inhabitants is said to be deplorable.
A British ship of war and frigate were "
ing AT II. Jago for the protection of British
subjects and property.
From Florida we have accounts up to
the 23d ult. Gen. Jesup was at that date
mt Tampa Bay, where he was cnga ged ain
establishing line of posts across the Pen
insula, with view of preventing the return
of tic enemy upon our frontiers, and to re-
heve the inhabitants from the apprehension
Of any present danger from their lawless IN
cursions. He intends to march against Oc-
cola, as soon rs his plans are properly ma
tured. From all we are at present able to
learn, we think that if the entire subjuga.
ton of our foes is not speedily effected, the
territory will at least be relieved from the
fear of any future depredations upon the
lives and property of its inhabitants"

OPINION FOR THE EXECUTIVE.

AT the request OF the executive, | have ta-
ken into serious consideration, the question ::
w no compose the present general assembly
Of Virginia have come to the Inclusion
that the persons who wore members OF the
senate and house OF delegates last winter and
who have not resigned or been disqualified
are still members OF the assembly. That
they are the persons who are to assemble s.
exercise The powers OF the general assembly
on the call of the governor.
| proceed 10 give The reasons Tor this o.
plnion.
The constitution, article iii sect, l, page
Is OF the Supplement, provides, Chat the
Legislature shall be formed Of two distinct
branches, which together shall he complete
Legislature, and shall ne called The general
assembly Of Virginia"
The Cd section prov ides, some Of these shall
be called The house of delegates and shall
be chosen annually, for and by the several
Counties" &c. &c.
The Sd section, page II, provides, that
the other house shall be called the senate.
divides the state in districts for the election
ofssnators, and provides for the terms of their
service, in the following language "To
keep up this assembly by rotation, the dis.
lricis shall tie equally divided into four Clas-
yes, ana numbered by lot. ~ The end nj one
year after the first general election, the eight
members elected by the first division shall
be displaced, and the vacancies thereby oc-
casi"ned, supplied from such class or division,
by new election, in the manner Aforesaid
This rotation shall he applied 10 each divrs.
ion, according TO it's number, and continued
in due order annually"
have no doubt that the members OF the
house of delegates elected under this cons,I>
tuition, are elected for one year, and the sen.
atoTs for four years, except the first classes
The first inCpmbents of these classes were
respectively TO serve one, two and three
years and their successors for four years.
Such ] believe has been the uniform con-
struction Of this article, and do not see how
a contrary construction can be adopted. The
members Of the house of delegates end of the
senate are officers: The first holding Offices
OF one years duration, the second Of four
years duration. The question is at what
time of the year SO the terms Of their respec-
live Offices commence.

MEXICO s. THE UNITED STATES

We will not conceal from our reade RS
our apprehensions that the peace of the
country with our sister Republic is pla,
ced in some jeopardy which SO should care
the less about if we did not also apprehend
that, before the world, MEXICO will put the
United States in The wrong. The late Cap
ture of a Mexican vessel of war by an armed
ship OF the United States, which appears to
excite so little sensation along The Atlantic
border, is an act deeply to he regretted by
all those who desire To see their country al
ways in the right. 1t may not lead to the
consequences which we most earnestly dep
recate but. if Gus correspondent at New
Orleans augurs rightly, i! will not he The
state OF the currency alone which will make
II advisable for the President uf the United
States 10 convene CONGRESS as earJy as
practicable. We give TO our readers The fol.
lowing extracts from The letter Of that cor
respondent, which we wish them 10 take al
their own valuation, so far as regards the o.
ptnions expressed, but with entire confidence
in the facts which he states:

fhe probable consequence of the Capture

EXTRA. SESSION OF THE LECIS.
LATURE

1t will be seen that the Governor has,
as we anticipated, called an extra. ses-
sion of the Legislature. This novel
state OF things has given rise TO an inter-
esting and important question, as to
which are entitled to serve-the old, or
the newly elected members of the &C.
neral Assembly The Governor, en-
PERTAINING some doubts on the subject,
advised with the Attorney General, who
has given it as his opinion. that, accord
ing to the Constitution and Laws, the
old members continue in Office until DC
tober, the time Of the first election un-
der the new Constitutiou.-For his
reasons, we refer the reader 10 the OPT
Mon itself, which is suhjoined. The Co.

qairing them to meet on the 18th oi
