MIR. Clay stated in his late speech in tbi, w..
that when the late National Bank wa, NJ, : W.
istence the Bank of England put down the n,;..
of cotton, and that, if our Bank had then hsan =
operation it could have counteracted the efFe,.
the English Bank. Now what is the fair ;ne.0
enee from this proposition? Is it not that N.
tional Bank can control the prices and pron.,,n
ofthe country? If it can control the prjc. -
cotton-and Mr.. Clay says it can-what otb..
property may it not control in price and vaIros

MASSACHUSETTS, AND VIRGINIA.

II will be remembered that, in January last,
the Legislature of Massachusetts passed reso-
lutons IN favor of such an amendment to the
Federal Constitution as would apporton re-
representatives. and direct taxes according to tire
Eumber OF the free population; and that, as
usual, these resolutions were sent to the diff
icrent States, and to Virginia among the rests
and that the latter returned those resolutions
To the Legislature of Massachusetts, accom-.
panied by set OF no, over-courteous resolves
on the part of its own Legislature.
We now see that, alter an interesting debate
IN the Senate of Massachusetts, another set of
resolutions was passed on Friday, recting all
these facts, recaptulating the principles upon
which the former action of the Legislature
was had, and closing with the following add.
tional resolutions
Resolved, That this Legislature cannot but
regard the return of their Resolves by the Gene
raj Assembly of Virginia without "a precedent

There were thrty-eight Senators present;
two only were absent; and the vote for a.
doping The resolutions was unanimous.
The discussion was very spirited and inter-
esting, and, among other things, we observe
that eX-G"vernor LINCOLN made the follow
ing remarks:
Mr.. Lincoln said that he confessed be was
