Mr. X said he would remark that, as much as ne
deprecated party disputations on great questions OF
public policy, yet he was tree to confess that on the
present occasion, he could not say he regretted the
debate had taken the VIDE range u had. lie thought

manded 1.-THE relations existing between the Le-
eisauve and Executive departments OF the Govern
ment rendered not only necessary, but any longer
inevitable.
Really, (said MIR r. parties arc in most strange
and anomalous position. For the first time in the
history Of the Government, We find a set Of men in
power, for whose course OF policy neither of the
great parties OF the country will confess themselves
responsible; who have disappointed and defeated
all the fond hopes Of those whose abors for years
mt length brought them into power; and who, after
having been successfully moved TO the accomplish
ment OF certain object by those who had so long
revived them now hnc that their new allies are
