Gov. Smith, of Virginia, is candidate for the s. Senate to succeed MT. Archer. A writer in the Richmond Enquirer, advocating his election says, Gle has his choice of a candidate for the next Pres idency; but in no instance can he support any but the regular nominee of the National Convention. If his choice be not the nominee he will cordially and warmly support the selected candidate" That is the right sort of democrat, and such men can be cheerfuy supported by men of all sorts of personal predictions.

MT. WEBSTER delivered, at Philadelphia, on the 2d inst his long concocted attac upon the admin israton and the war, the new tariff the sub treas- ury, ,and indeed all the men and measures of the democratic party. The speech IS extremsly long and prepared with great labor and ingenuity. Less could not be expected from man of his conceded powers as an advocate, pleading for clients who pay him so large fee as the Boston wings have made for Mir. Webster to induce him 10 devote himself to their service; and who hold him under their influ- encs by committing his fee into an annual pension. The great pensionary ofwhggery worked faithfully for hls patrons but is his misfortune 10 make it evident, of late years al least, that he is working against his earlier and dsinierested convictions; and fails to impress any body with the opinion that he is more sincere than any lawyer whose choice ofa side is determined by the konorarium offered. The whole speech is tho plea of cunning and un- scrupulous lawyer-not the argument of a states man or man of independent mind and position. Nearly every position thereln whchs is material to the issues between the two parties, can be triumphan,y refuted by men of much smaller capacity than MT Webster, armed with the power of truth, against which he is struggling, as he once sad of another like strong man in morass;" and many of the strongest refutations be drawn from records and fortified by arguments for which Mr. Webster him. self can be quoted.
 The Pennsyvanian made an immediate practical and pungent answer to that part of MT. Webster g speech which maintairs the doctrine of protection. On the same morning that the whig papers issued the protection speech of the day before, the Penn ne ., .L. Faneuil Hall, few years ago, by the same MT. Webster, in which he opposed the whole doctrine of protection with vieor and force, and sincerity, which he has never beei able to surpass on the other side

The circuit court for this county, Judge BKAoe presiding. has for the last few days, had very in. terssting question under examination in regard 10 certain suits brought by tho Bank Commissioners for the Branch Bank at this place. The question, as we understand it., s 10 thst nature of lhe cer- sihcate produced that the notes sued on are realy the property of ihe Bank, which is necessary to give the c"uri jurisdiction in the summary remedy s-ane,l by the charter The act of the last ture gave tue present commissioners the power to make the certificate themselves, or to appoint an agent or attorney certify the fact. In accordance with tho view eff the law taken by the commis they forwarded to Mir. Holcombe letter of attor. ney, authorizing him to make the certificate "for them and in their own names." Acting in strict conformity with that authority their agent made the certificates in the names of the cou,miss toners, signing himself as their attorney.
 After full and deliberate argument, the court de- cided that the act oi assembly did authorize the appointment of an attorne, to make t6cate of a act in Ms of another, but that the pain iaten. ton of ihe law was that agent might he appointed swn knowiedgs Az we understood tn. decis,on of tho couf1 u resteh us opnion upon the familiar pricipe that man cannot deputize an agent to swear to- or certify statement of which he has not himself personal knowledge.
 Alter this form of certificate was reported, tlie attorneys for the Bank offered another one signed by Mir. Holcombe himself the agent of the com. missioners, certifying the fact of his knowledge- The rejected ihis also, the power of altor- ney produced did not authorize such an act by the aEest.
 The Bank attorney then offered another certificate signed by himself, which was also rejected on the ground tha. an attorney at law had not the specific powers in that capacity as an attorney in fact for his client. Various other forms of certificates were offered nearly similar to the former, all of which were rejected for the reasons
 The court gave judgment for the defendant. be- of the of iursd .ton, and the Bank attor. ney gave notice that he would take the case io tho Supreme Court. As all the other Bank suits which were defended were subject to the same objection, the court granted the bank leave to continue them ill the spring to await the decision in the case taken up. Some sixty cases we understood were laid over. involving a large amount of money.

Go- We have expressed some curiosity to know how he Governor of Massachusetts would deal with the reqnison from Washington for regiment 10 serve in the war, Gov. Briggs, on the first call in May last, issued proclamation that seemed to favor volunteering but when he was a candidate for reelection, one portion of his party made it a serious ground for complaint, that by that procla. nation he had committed Massachusetts to a sup port of the war, and the other portion endeayored, bys critical analysis of the wording of the docu. ment, 10 shew that committed nobody, mol even the governor himself, who wrote it. They estab lished happy ambiguity, and the objection Wa, given up
 This time the governor has taken refuge in a dis erect silence. He has issued no proclamation at all says not a word for the of his countryo or in ia vor of volunteering, but has handed over the requ stion to the sdiutant general, who publishes it. and the official notices which beleng to it, without a word of comment, while the governors political organs employ themselves in denouncing the ad minstration ridiculing the attempt to get volunteers discouraging enllstments and pronouncing the wal as "not merely ths Msrioans, but the freedom and independence of he non. slapsholding Stafes"
