understand that they TO lie taxed TO make up
losses occasioned by their la~ess acts, they will
cease to yield to impulses which are founded in
error, and end in anarchy. Had the MODS, some

their poeksts, their views resolve themselves into
something quite different!

OUR FoRTY-THlRD VOLUME.

and its devotion the true principles Of good gov

1t is really provoking, in these times of pressure
and insolvency, to observe the course pursued by
our public men In the different, State Lesisla-
lures, and the Federal, the sessions are consumed
in idle debates. disgraceful personal collisions !;
the interests Of the constituency are sacrificed; and
whole weeks consumed upon subjects of as h,-
tic concern to the Peepls. as they to New Hol-
landers. Illustrations of what we are now consid-
ering. may be found in the case OF Mr.. Adams, in
The House of Representatives and in the subject
of Federal Relations, in our House of Delegates
The House OF Representatives allowed itself to be
made an arena for h se,-to between WISE and AD-
ANS, until it was heartily ashamed of the whole af
fair, and put stop to II, by laying the subject
the table So with the wise in our Legsla-
urea member from county in the wild Ale
shany mountains must sceds instruct the men at
Washington; and. thereupop, a prolonged discus
sion is had the utter neglect of the interests OF
The people.
Bat figures will make our position palmer. The
House of Representatives numbers 242 members;
and AT So per day, each session costs the nation,
Contingencies Included upwards of $4,000. Yet
the Representatives waste day after day ia idle
talking quite forgetfu Of the burthens Of the peo-
pie. In the House of Delegates. there are 1874
members; and at 81 per day. with contingencies
The State must, at least, pay $500 for every day
wasted on such subjects as Federal Relations
leaving out of the the expenses of the Senate
which can only act upon matters marked out by the
House.
And we will take the liberty Of saying that our
Delegates make themselves ii licuous by the intro
ducton of this subject. The people laugh at them
in Virginia; the people Of other State. laugh at
them; and Congress pays respect TO their opin-
ions. If there be, in fact, any efficacy in this mode
Of approving or condemnng Federal legislation, it

THE CREOLE CAsE.-The letter Of Mr..
Webster to Mr.. Everett, ins,ructing the
latter to bring the Creole case to the at
tention of tho British Government, will
attract attention. This letter, on being
read in the Senate, was highly eulogized
by Mr.. Walker, and even Mr.. Calhoun
forgot his ancient prejudices, and said it
"was drawn up with great ability" and
expressed his hope that it would have a
beneficial effect, not only upon the United
States, but Great Britain" The justice
of these cncomiums all will admit, on
reading the letter Of Mr.. w. In connex-
ion with this exciting matter, it is crafty
ing to find that Mr.. Clay, in an incidental
debate in the Senate, on the 18th ultimo,
stated that he had no apprehension Of a
war on this or any other of the questions
at issue between our country and Grea,
Britain. Ball. Pat.

OPERATION OF THE BANKRUPT Lay

OPERATION OF THE BANKRUPT Law.
Surprise is manifested in certain quar-
ters ut the small number Of applications,
thus FIR, under the national bankrupt law.
The reason is this: In consequence of the
passage Of that law, and the failure of the
attempt 10 repeal it, there have already
been vast number Of adjustments be-
tween debtor and creditor, which would
not otherwise have taken place. All this
is well nay better, indeed, than would
have been such llquidations by virtue of
the law. The work Of settlement in such
cases undoubtedly gives greater satislac
ton in most instances, on both sides, than
would compulsory proceedings under the
law. Hence the operation Of The bank
rupt law is of double efiicacy-operating
where its aid is not invoked as well as
where it is.-N. y. Com. Ado.
