The Hon. Henry A. Wise, Of Virginia,
one Of The mos, fearless and and indepen-
dent Representatives 10 Congress, has
at length succeeded in, obtaining an In
vestigaling committee, TO assist in ferret
ing, out the multiplied corruptjoDs and
Jeia'cations Of tie office holders undsr
Mr.. Van Buren, administration. On the
28th OF December when he made his mo-
tioa for the committee, lie sustained It by
oae OF the most powerful, eloquent and
irlefutable speeches ever made in the hall
Of the House Of Representatives Of the
United States. We have. read some ex-
tracts from il, which have strengthened
our former high opinion Of his noble and
exalted fraiis III mind. The eommittee
was appointed by ballot, and not by the
Speaker, as is usual on such occasions -
Mr.. Wise declare tina. lie had 70 conf
Jence in the Speakers appointments. for
il IS ia the recollection cf every reader,
that in 1886, when Mr.. Wise called for
a similar committee for The same purpose,
that the Speaker appointed six members
who were avowedly opposed to the inves-
,igation, and only three who were in "a.
vor il. Under such circumstances, how
was il possible for the friends II invest-
CATION 70 do any thing; il ? proposition
was made ny lis friends, Il was ;nmedi.
alely rejected, and every possible obsta;
Gle thrown in their way. Il IS tar differ
ent now; the friends CT investigation are
| 10 the majority on The committee, and
the country may now expect 70 hear q
the corruption aud malpractice ~ office
wherever il exists.
| THE WHrG CANDIDATES. I'VE under
stand that The Wing candidates for Gov
|erncr, Congress, &C.. have declared their
Intention Of visiting every county in the
| State, previous 70 the election. That I
| right; and we hope the Democrats may
| do the same. Lei both parties canvas
| The State freely, and honorably; let ihe-
| state fairly the points al issue, and ie
the people be the judges between then
and he result will be, thai the truth vii
a triumph. auJ correct principles prevail.
| We have hetn much pleased by 10
perusal 81 an able and eloquent speech
upon the subject Of Executive raironsg e.
delivered in the House OF Representa-
ltivcs az tie United States, On the o6i
Of December last, By the Hon. John Bel
az Tennessee. Mr.. Bell stands high Q
nong tho Wings in Congress, as la'en
Z ted and fearless champion OF The free
dom Of elections, and an uncompromisin
Toe 10 the presrn, extensive system Of ~
eculiye patronage.
