The question ofthe Public Lands, we
rejoice to see. is beginning to attract the
att, On which its importance merits
The new States have become so extra
VACANT in their pretensions, and their
numerical strength is getting to be SO
formidable. that general alarm seems
to be spreading through the old States
for the security Of their rights in this
important interest. 1t is clear, il some
thing is not soon done. that the profit
gate declarations of Benton will be iul-
filled by seizure Of the who public
domain by the new States. When we
think how long and how arduously Mr..
Clay has laboured TO awaken the public
mind to just appreciation of this great
question-how at one time his motives
were aspersed even here, in old Virgil.
nia-bow his plan for the adjustment of
the question by distribution among the
States. was held up as wholesale bribery
to effect his elevation to the Presidency
we blush for the littleness or 5aseness
OF soul that could contemplate no hig her
motive for his conductor seeing, could
foully sacrifice the enduring interests of
Country TO the temporary advantage Of
Party. But the day of righteous retri-
button is at hand, when an awakened
people will be enabled TO put just esti>
mate on the patriotic efforts of MIR. Clay,
as we'll as on those of our short sighted,
or interested statesmen who opposed
them. We are gratifed to learn that
every thing like party is sunk in our
Legislature on this great question. and
that Virginia will now show, as she
ought, an unbroken front upon it.

@We understand that parties iu the
Legislature are in great confusion on the
subject Of the election of L. S. Senator.
IL is known that the Administration par
ty is split on the Sub Treasury question,
and that Mr.. Rives has rendered him
self obnoxious to majority of his old
friends, no favour that measure. They
have accordingly cast about for a ne,
man, and settled on Judge Tucker as
their candidate; while the conservative
portion of the party cling TO Mr.. Rives
There is some slight division also among
the Wings on the Sub Treasury ques
ton, and still more as to the course thew
,hould pursue in the Senatorial election.
A large portion Of them, it is believed,
would anite in the support of Mr.. Rives
IT the conservatives exhibited a better
spirit tow Yards them but it seems they
have stronger sympathy for their old
allies than they have for the Wigs
Under these circumstances it is hardly
possible that Mr.. Rives can ge, much Of
Wing vote. We think it not impro.
bable, therefore, that there will be either
no election this winter, or the conserva.
lives will go back 10 their allegiance
and swallow the Sub Treasury.
Mr.. Tyler is believed to be the pro-
minent Wing candidate. We should
much prefer Mr. James Barbour.
