EXECUTIVE PArRoNAok-Mr. Val, Chairman Of
the Committee on the Judiciary, on Thursday,
made long report to the Senate, in support OF the
Presidents claims TO unlimited power, and against
the proposed law TO lessen the influence OF OFFICE
over the elective right. As coming from MIR. Wall,
who glores in being fcderaiia, such doctrines
are not surprising; but when he utters them as
the organ of parry in the Senate, who profess TO
be democrats" we are Sickened with the exam
pie they present Of almost total dtPrdrhg. The
report is in the worst style and spirit OF slang
whanging eleclioneerng document and the very
antipodal Of the doctrines advocated by Benton
Buchanan, Grundy, and Jackson when the federal
patronage was not half so extensive as II Is RI pre-
sentl We have never before witnessed such DIS
gushing Observation-Disclosures have We ever before
imagined it possible, that Senators Of the uni'ed
States protesting be governed consistently by h'e"
principle, could in such gross and fragrant man
ner, give the lie TO every profession they have mere
toforc made. We may speak strongly, o"' y
difficult to repress the feeling Of abhonehce winch
such conduct in such men, inevitably cxcHes.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
After the journal had been read
FRIDAY, February |

After the journal had been read,
| Mr. CHAMBERS after some brief remarks on
the propriey OF protecting the young officers of our
Navy moved the consideration of the resolution Of
| fered by Mr. Naylor, on Monday last, calling upon
the Secretary of the Navy for copies OF certain pa
pers relating TO the charge preferred against Commo
| dore Elliott by Charles E. Barton
After some debate between Messrs. Adams Nay
lor and Ingham the resolution was considered, and
with a slight modification, adopted
Mr. PETRIKEN asked leave TO call up Joint re-
solution submitted by him on former day, uthor-
zing the distribution Of the first and every succeed
| ing volume of Clarke and Forces Documentary
History of the Revolution, to members of Congress
Mr. CAMBRELENG moved to amend the reSolu-
ton by striking out the words Sand every succeed
! ing volume" He did so with view of having a
different arrangement respecting the selection OF the
/ documents. He thought their selection ought not TO
mittee should be appointed for that purpose, and the
work, if required published under the immediate
supervision of Congress.
Mr.. BIDDLE thought the resolutions embraced a
very important principle, and before giving his
vote, he wished further time to examine the matter.
He therefore, moved that for the present, the sub
ject on the table
At the request OF Mr. THOMAS The motion to
lay on the table was withdrawn.
Mr.. THOMAS then adverted to the great amount
Of the appropriation required by the resolution, near
ly half million and maintained that the work
instead being given to individual members ought TO
be deposited in the public Libraries OF the country
where the people as well as members of Congress
could have access to it. And, as the first volume
already printed could be of use without the re-
mander, he thought Congress ought to require them
10 be returned He concluded by moving reference
OF the resolution to Select Committee.
Mr.. PETRIKEN thought it would be a vain
task TO endeavor TO get back that portion of the first
volume already distributed. He was surprised, too
when he saw members complaining of such APP
preparations now, when hitherto they had kept silent
on such matters.
Several amendments were then made to the mo-
ton TO refer, but the hour having expired without
dispoSing OF the resolution, the House passed TO the
private order of The day, and took the bills the
private calendar

Mr.. RIvEs BEFORE THE PEOPLE OF
VIRGINIA.

Mr.. Rives has appeared before the people
Of the ancient Dominion under his own sign
manael, which we, this day, spread before our
readers. What high-minded citizen of the
land Of Jefferson and Madison can read this
dignfed appeal-this detail Of disinterested
patriotism which has governed one of Vir-
gina's children and representatives, and not
feel glow of pride warm his bosom, with the
reflection that, he too, is son Of "my own,
my native land"
We are much mistaken, il, when Mr.. Van
Buren, reads it, it do not strike " terror into The
peyu soul Of Richard;" and the lietor ofhis or
gan will find in it something providing for the
enemy )" that is, for those who are enemies
to his arrogance and audacity, and TO tne on-

The Globe says, "Messrs. Bives and
Whitney, were very intimate during the last
session Of Congress-" We have understood
that Messrs. Whitney and Blair were very in
innate for some years preceding the total
abandonment Of principle by the latter.
We should think that Mr.. Whitney has
great cause to congratulate himself in the
change. There can be no one, who, if he has
any ambition to crafty, must not feel proud Of
being associated with one so pure, SO high
minded, and so patriotic as Mr.. Rives; while
he cannot feel otherwise than debased and de-
graded in the reflection OF ever having been
intimate, associated, or even acquainted with
the present conductor Of the official organ Of
Mr.. Van Buren,.
We ask the attention Of the public to the
following from the pen OF the erudite and re-
fined editor ofthe official organ and confdanie
Of the President. This thing Of letting an
orator out by The season is novelty" Who
that had not been brought up in stable, been
an ostler, horse-traner, or horse Jockey, or
associated with either or all, would have ever
conceived and used such lor bred and ruigar

THE CRY CHANGED.
Under this caption to an article, the Globe

Ohder TINS captlon 10 an arllcic, the UloDe
says:
"Ahd while in this very report, the disusf of the
bond check books by the superanuaied Wing who
discontinued il in the Auditors Office Is brought up
OF the causes Of the great defacation The i'm
partial committee that of the violent acts OF des-
polism and prescription for which General JACKSON
received the anathemas Of the whole Wing party,
was his intimaon to this venerable man of eighty
odd that he was ncapacitaed by age 10 discharge the
duties Of his station"
In the first place, we challenge the Globe
to point out when and wherein " anathemas"
were poured out on General Jackson as as
serted. In the next place, we call upon the
Globe TO show, wherein, the successor Of this
venerable man, who was incapacitated BY age
to discharge his duties, changed the policy
which he found prevailing in the Office at the
time he entered it. Did he re.establish the
use of the bond check books which had been
permitted to fall into "disuse" by the super
anuated Wing 7" Not at all. He proved to
be no more efficient than his predecessor, the
superanuated Wing. Had he restored the use
Of the bond check book, no doubt the SMART
WON'T defalcation never could have taken place
without detection. The cry IS changed truly.

THE UB-TREASURY-TTS OPERATION ON
THE BANKING INSTITUTIONS OF THE
COUNTRY. &c.
We ask the attention OF our readers to the
very able letter, from the Tuscaloosa lntelli-
gencer, which will be found in our columns
to-day, on the Sub-treasury, its operation on
the banks and currency Of the country, DC.
The Intelligencer says, it is from one of the
ablest and most distinguished pens in our
country "a pen that has often been welded,
with tremendous power, in defence Of the in
stitutions Of the South. The writer has de-
voted many long years to the study Of finance
rs science, and is probably the most learned
and profound political economist in America.
He is, too, any thing but partizan. Far re-
moved from the din and hustle Of politics, he
looks out upon the world, through the loop
holes Of his retreat, with the calm eye Of a
philosopher, careless Of the ascendancy Of this
or that party, and intent only upon the esta-
blishment Of scientific principles, and the wise
administration Of the government Of his
country
We regard it as the ablest production, by
far, that we have ever read upon the subject
on which il treats. II carries internal evidence
Of having been written in South Carolina, and
we think we do not err in ascribing it to the
pen Of LANGDON CHEyES.
