Extract of the speech of Mr.. Langhorne, in
the Virginia Legislature, on the election of Sc
nator
There were principles dear to Virginia which
Mr. Rises did not support but when he ceased to
run with Mr.. Van Buren, when he cut loose from the
party in relation to the currency question: then they
found them pursuing him with fendish hatred and
blood hound ferocty In the opposition to Mr. Rives
were they anxious to maintain principles to crafty
revenge Let them be brought up TO the touch stone
that divided the party lines and asked what great pfn
ciple, dear to the people Of Virginia, Mr.. Rives OPP.
posed and they would talk and endeavor to get away
and when pressed to tell the TRUTH the fact would at
length out, and 1t would be found that the great
sin was the refusing to sink swim with the party.
He was no eulogist Of Mr.. Rives but he considered
that he deserved more credit for his magnanimity and
patriotism than probably any other man in the State
He left fthe highest stations in their party when
any gift which he might have asked at their hands
would have been conferred he left them at a time
when they were in the bloom of prosperity and power
when 1t was almost high treason TO hint that there
was yet an omnipotent might in the majesty Of the
people at time when the office-holders had pos
sessed themselves of the citadel of their liberties and
laughed at all attempts to dslodge them from their in
trenched positions at this time did this man look
back TO the hone ohis forefathers to Virginia who had
never bowed the knee to an idol, such Van Buren,
he left behind him all hope Of Office and distinction to
come and proclaim TO his people that ruin at hand
that their Liberties were being Frustrated that the
Constitution was being undermined; that by the con-
duct of the party with whom he had co-operaed the
fair temple of liberty erected by their foreathers and
the pillars Of the Constitution, were Keeling and tot
tcring their base and with the assistance Of gallant
and noble spirits with the Constitution in hand
and Harrison in the other had driven from the citadel
of their liberties the Goihs and Vandas who had in

and gave him his hearty, his free, his willing sup

IN the House of Representatives the intro
ductlon of the Treasury Note Bill has excited a
discussion IN which several of the abest mem
oers have successfully engaged. The speeches
OF Messrs, BARNARD, EVANS, and BELL, were
very able, exhibiting familiarity with the fl
nanclal affairs Of the government, and concur
ring that they were in deplorabe condition
deeply involved-and loudly calling for remedy
and permanent statesman-like provision. The
efforts OF Mr.. NIsBET, of Ga, Gen. THOMPSON,
OF ). C., and Mr.. LANE, the new and promising
member from Indiana, were creditable to those
gentlemen, and effective in showing up the mis-
management Of the Treasury, and the impracti-
cability and impotency Of the measures proposed
by the administration for its relief The oppo-
site side of the question has been advocated

An able correspondent Of the MiHedge-
riHe -(Georgia) Recorder, calculates from
the Reports of the Secretary Of the Trea
surv, that there will be a deficit in the Trea-
sury this year of 1854, SAT, more than
there will be means of payment, and argues
from the facts he discovers thai, there will be an
absolute necessity for an extra Session of Con-
gress. OF these conclusions, recent and constant
developements are proving the correctness, and
we have scarcely doubt that when the true
condition of affairs is exposed, the necessity of
an extra Session of Congress, will be appa-
rent to every sensible mind

THE PENNSYLVANIA SENATOR'S.


The Resolutions of the Legislature of Penn
sylvania, manfully end technically instructiag
the Senators from that State in Congress, to
vote for distribution of the proceeds of thepub-
lie lands, reached this city, we believe, on Sa-
turday last Mr.. Buchanan's late speech, there
fore, must be condemned by his own vote.
We see pending the discussion of these in
structions, resolution was introduced by Mr..
Wright, declaring that the Legislature had full
confidence in the integrity of their Senators,
and approved Of their acts hitherto. The Chron-
icle says this proposition was received with a
burstoflaughler, and was rejected by vote of SO
nays, to AZ yeas If the Pennsylvania Senators
can stand this, the Globe can say no more about
awkwardness. When constituents declare they
have no confidence in their representatives and
disapprove their acts, it would seem to be high
time for such representatives to resign the
trusts deposited in their hands.
