You no doubt have the proceedings OF Satur-
day in the House Of Representatives. J. NJ Bolts, your
Representative, real fellow for lie has been
long time permitted to say, in the Legislature OF
Virginia pretty much what he thought proper, without
suffering contradiction. MIR Bolts must rccollect
TINT he is different sphere of action: that in
stead of his meeting the Representatives of State
he here will meet face to face the Representatives of
20, and in making his Wing I'D cdptaAdum assertions,
he must not suppose for moment that they will be suf
crcd to pass for current facts when the people of this
country have long since passed upon the acts of Cen
cral Jackson and his administrations they say that Mr.
Bolts and his Wing friends not only msreprescnt.
ing Gen Jackson but that they make assertions which
are erroneous in almost every particular. Mr.. Smith
of the bestnaturcd in the House, joval,
cla fellow, who perhaps in his life Ind enc.
my, did not suppose for moment that his remarks
were understood at the time, other than he intended
them, namely, political denial sustained by the
page of history. But Mr. Bolts chose TO take them
personally, as il he wished TO force Mr.. Smith to an
apology. But Mr.. Smith is not of those men: nor
is he made OF such Materials he is cool drnifed and
the last TO give insult, and hope will receive
one from your Virginia Hotspur. We want no more
martyrdoms at Washington; we have but too recently
mourned over the death of the lamented Cey, and he
sacrifice to foolish system Of etiquette that should
never be enacted over again. The only way to put
stop TO those sacrifices of life, is by public opinion
