tons Of whiy Editor at Richmond would not
drive him into drill"
We have never Ospired to the honor Of drilling
Mr. Wise. We have never castgaied him. With
due Difference, we think he should select his phra
ses with little more adaptation nor do We think
him tho less drabis that he loudly processes his
'neapabity Of being drilled. IL persons can not
drill him, patriotism anG principle we full well
know eau. They the only drill sergeants whom
we wish any Wing to DO drilled by. It rather
looks ss if MIR Wise proposed TO drill by gratui
,ously assuming that we proposed to drill him.
We might in that case prove rs impracticable to
discipline as his York Town hero who fought on

gate the facts. This was granted. The committee
yesterday reported, only enc dissenting confirming
all the charges made by the Directors, and express
me the opinion, founded upon personal examination

any other odious measure OF that nature upon the
country, they had the power, and patriots, they
were boundto exercise II, and refuse to so into an
election.
MIR LYONS entered into very eloquent defence
OF MIR webster's conduct. He commended that on
all occasions, he had stood forth mRnfully to de-
snd the interests aud the honor OF his country, and
that occasion OF difficulty danger had ever oc-
CURED without MIR Webster throwing himself into
the breach. lie had stood forth nobly on behalf Of
the credit and the honor of the Satcs-and when
the fillen dynasty were warning with their honor,
and endeavoung 10 deprive them of their fair fame,
he had stood up in London before Kings and Princes,
and declared that the pledged faith Of the States
would be virtuously and honOraby sustained. Gen.
Jackson too, had Acknowledged thathe had saved his
Administration from ruin; and although they might
bring against him his conduct during the war, they
must rscoect that he erred in that particu in
mon with John Randolph and many other illus,rious
men. But surely gentlemen who supported For
syth Buchanan, and others OF that stamp could not
reasonably find fault with the Federalism of Daniel
Webster. Wrh regard to the question OF n Bank,
MIR Jefferson had himself declared, that f the peo-
pie, believing that the Government could not be
properly carried without one, called for Its es
adjustment, that he should in that as in all other
cases, bow to the will of the people. The people
Of Virginia, if they were now, had not always been
opposed to a National Bank, and surely differ
ence Of opinion upon that point, should not be
held as disqualification for Office. IL gentlemen
on the opposite side intended to watch their oppor-
tunity, and when their opponents might have re-
turned 10 their homes, resolved spring this cleo
ton upon them-which by the way, he would not
believe unless he saw it-even in such case, the
constitutional obligation resting upon him TO 90 in
TO an election, would compel him 10 vote for the
Motor, although he would with his utmost energy,
denounce the fraud attempted 10 be perpetra,ed.
MIR. SMITH had never expected to hear MIR.
Jefferson cited authority for the establishment
OF n National Bank. He had been all his life OPP
posed TO such Institution, and looked upon it as
great, demoralzing and dangerous engine. He
repealed the insnuation that he, any one acting
with him, would attempt to be guilty Of fraud.
On motion Of MIR. SMITH, the Senate adjourn
