have his house burnt over his head for his war or
the business and credit Of the country and is pleas

such "atroclous" sentimentsl We presume the
conductor of that paper is the only individual ia
Virginia whose combined stupidity and maignity
put such construction upon what we actually did
say. Speaking Of the threat Of the mob to burn
Nicholas Bid dies house over his head, we added
he may deserve it-but there is one who deserves
II much more"-the author namely Of all the fiscal
calamities of the times. The term "hc may deserve
IT," does not bear the construction that he did dc.
serve It. The plain import ofthe sentence is, that
II Biddlc deserved such fate, jackson deserved
It much more. We are no disciples Of Judge
Lynch, nor advocates Of mob justice, and we make
bold to say would very likely go as far in repell-
ing such an assault upon the Hermitage, as the per.
son who is capable OF making for party prejudice,
SO Infamous an imputation upon us as that we de-
cared Jackson's dwellng"a fit subject for the torch

patriotism, instead of acting the part of a check.
mating faction, and concur IN the execution az
high moral and constitutional duty, by Immediately
electing successor to Mr. Roane In the struggles
OF party, the Constitution should never be trampIed
under loot and he must be shorts hted and mar
row minded, and without patriotic feelings who
will suspend or pulliy the constitutional reuuisi.
lions, and his oath so emmy taken, for the h.eting
purposes OF momentary qualification. He who
would gain by such to-day, should, and think
would, lose the balance Of his life. We should not
place our sacred and constitutional rights upon the
ebbings and nowinss OF party strife. They should
be rested upon Immutable grounds. The Constitu.
ton should be liked upon rock as firm as the hills
eternal.
From the names, distinguished as they are, which
have been held up, there Is but little doubt Virginia
will have Senator worthy Of her iliustrous and
ancient fame; but none more iustrous conceive
than Major William Ballard Preston, whom pro.
pose TO your body. 1t not only that consider
him any mans equal, but that he lives West OF the
IN It's strength and importance, and that portion OF
the Old Dominion that has heretofore been dislran-
chised IN the election OF u s. Senator's with but one
single exception, within the history of our Govern
ment. Would it not be rght-woud it not be Just
Il ask, is II not proper to ask your hands a re-
ciprocry Of honors, emouments. &c., We fight
With the East and for the advancement OF the State
Of Virginia at large.
wy obJStt 10 W give my nuTDlc appreciation OF
the merits Of Maj. WIN. Ballard Preston. From q
long and very intimate acquaintance with him, /
am enabled 10 give my assurance that he possesses
the high qualifications for the statiop which are in
dispe nsable for Senator from the old Dominion.
lbs manners are accessible to all, and yet he would
carry TO the Senate its appropriate dignity and az
the same Time give an impartial consideration to all
propositions that should be brought before that bo-
dy' lie possesses mind, bold, sound, logical and
discriminating, with a powerful capacity for re.
search IN the correctness OF its conclusions and that
elearness which would assure an unbiased decis on
upon all subjects in which tie interest Of his peo-
pie and country were Interested. We, OF the West,
claim Senator, and cannot, for one moment con-
ceive that brethren East Of the Blue Ridge will
say nay to our proposlioni-thSy will, at the FIRST
glance, see that as brothers and fellows, we are
clearly entitled to the appointment.
And now, rs the Van Buren, storm has past over,
and there IS no doubt Of clear sky the rain bow

ties into service again, as other States are do

fact that the general assembly was not now
full, that the voice Of the entire people, through
county was without a Representative at all,
and the Representative Of another had been declared
by Committee not to be entitled TO his seat, and
might before the 18th be sent home, and thus his
county would also he DISTINGUISHED.
MIR PRESTON, in a remarkably eloquent speech,
which we regret limits will not allow us TO give,
replied to the arguments Of the Senator from Gull
peper-called upon the Senate to do their duty as
enloined by the Constitution and 10 place IN the Sc
nate Of the United States one who would be found
faithful champion Of those great principles so dear
TO every Virginian. As cannot publish the
W hole of this speech, we feel that we should be
doing injustice TO MIR Preston by giving shreds of It.
IL would be like the man who carried the brick in
his pocket as sample of the architecture of his
house.
