THE FUTURE.
The Presidential campaign having terminated DIS
astrously 10 the Of Democracy, it now becomes
every Republican to look TO the future-Virginia has
nobly sustained the high eminence she has heretofore
Pied and stands forth the beaconligh around
which the Democracy of other States may rally, to
stop the advance of Federalism. Her Legislature has
assembled, and having a majority of Federal
ists we shall have specimen of what we may expect
during the next four years. Senator IS TO be also
elected. Who will he be The Wings have soemnly
promised that their very well beloved brother Whig
and rery consistent and unchanged politician, the ex
Honorable VIM. G. Rves, is to be the man. Since the
election in Virginia has terminated against them,
a majority of the good citizens were too independent
to be bought, and too wise to be humbugged by pro-
cessons and coonskins. Many are disposed TO give
him the go by-sayng it ought to be considered by
Mr.. r. matter of great delcacy on his part to be-
come acandidate, lest it should be urged against him
that it was for this purpose he laid aside his Demo
cratic robe. We insist that be not So he has been
taken into Wing keeping-he claims to be a Wh'g-he
has disrobed himself of his former principles freely
and voluntaryhe has no lot or part with the Demo
cratic party, and do without him. 1t would be
very unwise in the Wings to pass him by for If they
do he will be the first TO turn against them Moreover
the Wings ought to remember what they have to do
First they have to reenact the censure past by the
United States against General Jackson. Who is more
fit for such dirty work, than the unchanged William
c. Rives? Next the black lines are to be efaced Mr.
Rves will be the most proper instrument tor that
work. The Proclamation and Force Bill too must be
raised again to view, in order to give them death
blow MIR. Rives must be their e1ecutioner.-A
Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1840-12-22

United States Bank is 10 be chartered, and Mr.. Riyes
must be elected TO aid in doing. The French Treaty
may become the subject of discussion, and Mr.. Rves
ought TO be present to prove that he ouwitted and
cheated Monsieur out of thousands. Indeed, wrn
contemplate that it is to be the business Of tie Wing
party for the next four years 10 undo what has been
done for The last twelve, utterly astonished
that the Wings unwise 10 believe they can
accomplish their purpose without the aid of I'm &.

Mr.. Wm. C. Preston (Senator of the
U. S. from S. Carolina,) has addressed a
letter to The Citizens of Charleston, in
which he undertakes toihakc IN assertion
about Virginia, that the Voice ofIhe Peo-
pie wiIl not sanction. ''You, fellow-citi-
zcns, tsays he.) have declared your opn-
ion, that the reelection of Mr.. Van Buren
is expedient for this great interest, tSouIh-
ern lnstlulions.) Oher citizens ofCharIes-
ton think Otherwise. The great slave
holding Stale of Virginia has, in the mos,
emphatic way. declared that she thinks
otherwise" The State of Virginia has
made no such declaration. The majority
of the popular vutc at the last election,
Though given under every SORT of humhug,
which The WLigs could master up, aud
while opr large counties did no, al all
come Out in their strength, wasin favor Of
the Administration. IN November mex,
il will swell to thousands. How, in fact,
can MIR. Preston expect; that Virginia can
so'aeainst Mr.. Van Buren,, in relation TO
Institutions, when lie is solemnly pledged
land again in he course Of This very mouth,
in black and while) TO ve,oany bill which
may trench upon those Instilutions-and
when Gen. II. expressly declares, that he
will give no such pledge to friend or foe!
Does Mr.. Preston think that Virginia is so
infatuated, that she will (orsake the man
who gives her the most unqualified pledge
of support, in order 10 elect a man who
will give no such pledge? fhe wiz, un-
der such circumstances, give Gen. ii. the
generous confidence" which his Con
fdeniial Committee" solicIs, the People
of Virginia are rather TOO considerable to
initiate his eXampIe.-Ricfm6ad Eaq.
