We had not the pleasure of hearing this Address

example. We adopt handsome compliment, ,c

Gentlemen-As might have been expected some
cinmor Is raised against fearless Representative
IN Congress, on account of his vote to rcscind the
2lst rule concerning Abolition Petitions nd
threats of opposition his reelection are uttered
with some degree Of iniempernncc, and, to nv mind
somewhat prcmnturely. IL is easy TO imagine that
asplrants for political promotion will not be Tcmiss
IN tanning the flame of dlscontent-but n man OF
Bots straightforward manner has nothing TO an.
prehend from such efforts. Fanatics enough there
are, IN all conscience, both sides Of the Abolition
question:; but the rawlings OF these will Toe found ut
'erly impocni whenever brought IN contact with the
calm good sense and hrmncss Of the mass Of the
American people.
1t may well be asked, what object can any one
suppose MIR Bolts to have in view, but the promo
ton OF his constituents interests as well as his own
Inc question IN oil its bearings Is less understood
here than IN Washington, aud presume il was the
ann oil Mr. b. to remove all doubts, by making the
hbohuonists IN Congress ShoiD their hands. This
O.Ject his resolution, II adopted, would have accom-.
plished ohectually. lis in the following words:
Rssoirtd, That a select committee be appointed
by the Speaker Of this House, to consist Of one
member iiom each Of the slaveholding States in
TIE Union. 10 which shall be referred all memorial
and petitions praying for the abolition Of slavery IN
the District Of Columbia and for the suppression OF
the slave trade between the several States and Ter
riiores, with instructions TO report thereupon At the
next session Of Congress.
By this course, Northern gentlemen would have
been compelled To develop their purposes without
equyocaiIon, and to state distinctly and emphatical.
ly 1hni u Is they desire to do. n, as Mr.. Bots
justly contends, wo have formidable enemy IA
meet, the sooner we know 1t tbs bouor-wo should
not postpone a danger Jor orr children that II be
! comes rs 10 meet ourselves. We should DO ctavonr
iodo So Get such report rs he suggests, and all
will be settled, Abolition will cease to be used O.,
political capital ne II has been by reckless poill.
clans who desire rather to bo conspicuous than use
iul-and the regular business Of Congress will pro.
gress without interruption.
| understand that gentlemen of the South, who
voted differently, acknowledge Mr.. Bots course 10
have been The true one, and regret that they hav,
| committed themselves N n different policy. Let III,
| Wing party beware how they suffer themselves {,
be frightened from their proproty" by the climor o
| their edversnres. Lot thom sustain whatever d
right in itself, divos,ed Of prejudice and passion
and all will be we'll. A CONSTITUENT.

ihete 10 as much, not more, reformation wanting
IN this branch of the Government than any Other
The conduct of the members, during the last .eS-

0e made, by persons in the galleries "that n The
People could see their course, nearly every man
would be turned out"
Few, believe, would be left. There are n few
however, aud among those few stands the repteAen
tauve OF our district, Mr. Bolts; he deserves the
thanks aud gratitude OF the people, for the bold and
independent stand he has taken in this exciting and
,ear, never ending NATURALIZATION. Some lew
OF his constituents may be disposed to find fault
WIN MS vote thereon; but rather suspect il is not
50 muea the vote they dislike, as the siver of tho
vote; 1t furnishes, as they suppose, what has been
long desired, an opportunity to thiow 6rs-brand
INTO MIR. Bolts camp. and. by its consequent en-
cnemen,, some ambitious rival may a,tter himself
WIN the hope Of diSpacng him. But the people of
.his district are too intelligent, and too much devo-
teu 10 the true principles OF the Constitution not To
examine this subject thoroughly for themselves;

MIR. STUART OF VIRGINIA.

We congratulate this gentleman that his maiden
effort has been crowned with success, and that, by
the adoption Of his resolution by q majority Of six
teen, the dis,ractng question Of Abolition has been
put TO rest, at least during the extra session. We
confess we are utterly unable to understand the
course Of some gentlemen upon the final settlement
of this question Mr. Stuarrs resolution yielded
neutrality-suspicious. nothing involving principle;
but its shlutary effect will be TO quiet the raging
pillows Of Faction, and enable Congress to despatch
the business Of the country, for which they were
convened. That the object Of the Locos, from the
beginning Of this dsgraceful and miserable squabble
has been to divide and distract the Wing party
and to throw upon them the responsibility Of disor
ganizalion and inncton, Is so clear to our vision
that we wonder there should DO two opinions about
nnd therefore It is we sincerely regret that South
Tn Wigs should he found aiding and abettine
these gentry in their insidious designs No strong
er argument could be odduced in favor Of Mr. Stu.
arts resolution than that John Quincy Adams, In
grrsoll, Torrance, Weller Brown and others, ar,
found dead shot against It; and our community, a
least, will be surprised to find associated with then
In the negouye the names Of Gimer, Mallory an,
Wise. With the exception Of these gentlemen on,
some Wings from North Carolina and Georgi1, th
minority consisted Of one solid column Of Loco 70
coism. The old gentleman Of the Enquirer will, o
course, pronounce sentence Of condemnation upor
Mr. Sluarrs resolution, because il puts a stop TO an
archy, and promises peace to tho country. Agi

HJ~ The storm which passed over this city this
day week, appears to have been extensive in it.,
range.
The Staunton Spectator Of Thursday says: eve
had tremendous storm of wind, rain and hail SAT-
urday evening last, which did serious damnpe ives,
and southwest of this place, and along the course
oil the creek above, IN and below the Town Tie
storm was OF short duration, but the quantity of
water which tell was immense, and the wind blow
ING almost hurricane, and the hail falling in some
places as large rs walnus the latter did the work of
obstruction on the upands almost as effectually as
inc Hood IN the valleys. The creek through town
was never known TO be so high, as those who know
any thing OF our localities may Judge. when We
say II was about twelve feet above its ordinary lev
e1 IN the alley by the mill, and eight feet At the
bridge below MIR. MKeever's shop, where there is
wider stretch of low ground. Several families were
uHen from their houses in the alley, and one ofthem.
we understand lost some property All the VIII
mig and bridges on the lot of MIR. CARRIER and two
small houses were swept of, and little farther
down a spring. house belonging TO Mrs Hartman.
anu small stable were carried away. The damage
To Mr.. Mcheever, however, is the most serious OF
any sustained IN town. His loss in unfinished work
ana plank swept oil we understand is very con.
siderable, besides the loss OF time he must
~ incur TO right his shop and repair damages to his
machinery. On the farms within the compass of the
STORM we near otiencng Frustrated for miles on the

ondes this caption, we have noticed a parae,,pl
gong The rounds Of the Nosthern papers, bu, NOR,
recently IN B'ekueli's Reporter, Philadelphi,. IN
relation to a sui, at issue between the Merchants
nahk OF Baltimore and the branch of the Farmers
oank OF Virginia at Winchester, which is calculate,
"sMea wrong eoiorins to the affair, and to plac,
Tue Farmers Bank in the attitude of founding a dc
renee upon really no just grounds. With view o.
eo''eeuns the error alluded to, wo will state IN,
iaets as they truly exist.
The case recently depending in the County Cour,
OF Baltimore between tho Merchants Bank of Raj.
umo'e and the Farmers Bank OF Virginia, which
mas been noticed by the papers, originated in a trans
acuon a. the Office of the Farmers Bank at Vin
ehes'er between the late Cashier OF that Office and
D. Steensergen. The check which was the foup
da,on of the suit, had been improperly marked good
by the Cashier; and from what we have heard Of
the circumstances of the case the right to hold tho
Bank responsible had been lost 10y the neglee, of
the Merchants Bank to present it until after unrea.
sona6le delay, and her mode of dealing with it
Though the decision of the County Cour, was adj.
verse to the Farmers Bank. we understand her dis.
hnSuished counsel are confident that they will ob.
tam arcversed decision, in highes, court to which
the case has been carried.
10 take the reading of the paragraph itself as
gwen III the Reporter, II would seem that there was
some Juggling in the matter. For instance. il is re-
presented that the check in question was "epo,,ed
by Steenbergen in the Merchants Bank of B,l,;.
more, IN eonneS'on with other things, as collateral
security Tor the payment of loan made by that in
'utuuon to him." Ii would seem strange tina, an
individual should be borrowing and paying intores,
on as large sum as that, when in fact he was with
IN a days ride of the Bank in which he had the sum
deposited 1t is still stranger that the check should
have been held up for so long a time before i, was
presented.
Editors who have copied the paragraph alluded to
will please give the above correction.
