reached here This morning has given intensity 10
The excitement on these resolutions. The Senate
was engaged during the remainder Of It's session
on the Revised laws
The Virginia Wings, in the late campo ign,
charged that the Democracy of this country had
been lavishly supplied with British Gold" sub
scribed in England with the avowed purpose OF
clecing Mr. Polk and destroying the American
manufacturers. This outrageous imputation
upon the unpurchaseable virtue OF the Republi-
can party, was based upon forged extract from
the "London Times" Our readers cannot have
forgotten the parade that was made of this enor-
nous Free Trade" subscription to make Anne
RIGA the slave Of England. Our late extracts
have proved 10 our readers, that the verilable
London Times, The imputed organ ofthe Bri-
fish agents" in their designs upon this country
beorc the election, is now deeply bewailing the de-
feat Of Mr.. Clay and ridicuing The qualifications
OF Mr.. Polk, for The high Office TO which he has
been called. All the sympathies OF the Il ondon
Times" seem 10 be with the Wing party OF the
United States. The Virginia Wings acre SO jea-
lous OF English interference with our politics, that
we hope 10 see some ofihem Indignantly reproba-
Ting the impudcnt intrusion Of the Tory organs OF
England into our internal policy. For The benefi.
OF our Wing friends, We re-publi>h The following
from the Globe. 1t will be observed, that the To
ry organ looks with deep interest 10 the election
OF a Wing Senator from Virginia and clearly in
timates its wishes TO that effect Can il be posi-.
BILE, that Republican Virginia will tamely sui mit
10 the election OF a Wing Senator, al The bidding
OF London Journall But 10 The extract:
"THEY MUST ELECT THE SENATOR
FROM VIRGINIA. -L0adcn Times.
"The London Times catches al the Senate of
the United States as a limb 10 break the fall O..
its party in the late election. In almost the very
language OF Mr. Reeds letter 10 Lehigh-one of
his thousand letters, We may presume, scattering
election funds in Jumps Of $500 over Pennsyl-
vania-Whiggery is given 10 understand, by The
organ of the tories of England, that il must 90
letter in the Senatorial elections than il did in
the late Presidential struggle.

they get the Virginia and Delaware Senators the slave
