But, 10 return from this depression TO MI.
Burkc's proposition. We have not the pleasure
of his acquaintance; but We learn from lhose
who know him best, that he is Republi-
can after our own heart The Washington
Constitution Of Yesterday morning calls alien
lion 10 his bill-l!le admirable "bill offered by
Mr.. Burke Of New Hampshire. If we are not
greatly mistaken, this bill will be fonnd 10 con,
tain almost every good feature OF each bill anu
resolution whichhas heretofore been presented
This is The point 10 be attained, and which We
probably shall attain al last. This days debate
shows that the spirit of Cancellation and harmo-
ny is rather increased than diminished; and as
We have said elsewhere, augurS The best results.
Is The country TO understand, from what passed
Yesterday in the House Of Delegates, that II II
be in proof before them, a member Of their body
has directly violated tie Duelling Act, the House
is 10 permit him still TO retain his seat? The
House is the only Judge Of the qualifications OF
its own members. Is il the Wing doctrine now,
that they are with their eyes open, 10 abandon
This right, and admit a man, whom they know To
BIZ disqualified, to full participation of all The
powers OF legislation Is ttis The dotrinc?
Again-s i, to be the received dottline OF the
Wing party, that 4 lease of four years and ele-
ven months is equivalent in the eyes of the Con-.
s.itution 10 a lease Of fire wGr? Let The world
understand these doctrines OF the WhigS-that
We may Judge how far il is proper 10 avail them
selves of members, 50 qualified TO fois upon Viz
ginia Senator of the United States, who is ex-
acily opposed 10 he politics Of the State.

We congratulate the State on the passage Of
the Texas resolutions by The Senate OF Virginia,
in their Yesterdays session. We had hoped that
the Wings, rising superior 10 all parry feelings,
would have voted for resolutions, which contem-
plate a measure So important 10 the whole coun-
lrv-so vital 10 The South. We are disappointed
in the vote of the Senate though We see three of
the Wing Senator'S did not vote against them.
We hope for better things from the House of
Delegates II is not now altogether a party ques-
lion, in Washington. Witness Mr. Fosters
resolution in The Senate, and MIR. NJ. Browns
in the Holse-both Wings from Tennessee.
We are completely in the dark aboutthc mean
ing of certain mysterious illusions, which coli
yer Odscaool," the Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia United States Gazette" is
pleased 10 throw ont on The 9th inst. he says
That upon running for his second term, General
Jackson consented to take the name and become
the head II "lhe Democratic paTty'-that the
rallying al a party under the old and popular
banner, was the plan OF Mr.. Van Buren, and GER
tain Southern Notwithstanding Stevenson,
Smith Of South Carolina, &c, each having their
own views TO subserve BY it-Mr. Van Buren''
and Mr. Sevenson's were IA paH accomplished
Mr. Richie, Mr.. Stevenson and others, have still
further objects 10 attain, and are likely to attain
them by this scheme"
What "vcws" VIC have we are somewhat at
loss 10 understand. We are not in quest of Of
fee We will receive no favor from the hands OF
The administration. What views, then, can rrc
have! We are somewhat curious tosknow, and
