We must confess that it is with great re-
gret we read an article in the last Richmond
Wing, signed Civitas," intended to throw
cold water upon the prospects of Mr.. Rives
We can scarcely regard an impraciica5le
Wing, at junc,ure like this, as an opponent
of the party in power-ir he be so in reality,
the very steps which he pursues, is but too
well calculated to defeat an object which
should be the grand aim Of every patriotic in
diyidual TO attain. Articles like that in ques-
ton can do no good now but may do much
harm to a cause wherein the prosperity and
welfare of the nation are directly concerned.
With regard to what is said about original
Wings, we might ask, who are those that
now constitute so large portion of the OPP
position in Virgnia7 Were they original
Wings! Were Mr.. Tazewell, Mr.. Floyd, Mr..

John ROBERT WALLACE.

We perceive, by the last Richmond En-
ouirer, that this gentleman has come out with
-, long communication in answer to some re-
marks made in this paper months since, in
relation to his principles, &c. &c. We have
no personal knowledge of Mr.. Wallace but
from what we have heard Of him, we should
have expected decent, manly and liberal
article no, vulgar" ad captandum TRADE
,gains, the g violated" promises of the banks,
Mr.. CLAY, Gen. Harrison, Mr.. Preston, Tall
madge. and Others, whose counsels he can
never follow" We are to presume, then, that
this gentleman prefers the doctrines Of his

Duncan, the abolitionist, Ely Moore and Ro-
bert Dale Owen, the infdels, in connection
with F. P Blair, Amos Kendall, Free Tom
Moore, Felix Grundy, ct omne id genus
With such erudite and moral counsellers we
leave him until the arrival of the editor OF
this paper, who will doubtless pay his respects
in due time.
