piled 10 New Mexico and California Sou'n VI 'he
Missouri Compromise line. Mr.. q. then mos'
coureously bot with great effect dreu from mn
Stanard, pieccmeal the important tact that ne, Mt
S,anard himself, in The Senate OF Virginia had Oh
Tered, along with the above resolution, The ioH00>
ing resolution which fully sanctions III. Missouri
Compromise:
80 Resolrsd That IT, in disregard alike of the spir
and principles OF The of Congress- on the admission
of the State of Missouri into the Union, generaliy
known as The Missouri Compromise and OF every con-
sideratoR of Justice of constitutional right ana oil ira
ternal feeling the fearful issue shall be forced upon
country, which result from the adoption and at
tempted enforcement Of the Proviso aforesaid as an ac
of the General Government the people OF virginia can
have difficulty in choosing between the ony aiterna
lives that will then remain OF abject submission 10 az
gresslon and outrage the one hand or determined re
ssance on other all hazards and TO the last ex
tremity."
Here isdirec, and unanswerable evidence thai
President Polk in signing the Oregon Bill and
pledeing himself 10 the Missouri Compromise,
stands fully justified and approved by The Resolu'
lions of The Va. Legislature, drawn up and pro-
posed by Mr.. S,anard himself. Let US hear nc
more from The Wings, then, of the Pres'dents
abandonment of the Virginia ground. We make
no comment upon the striking development here
referred 10. II is almost needless 10 say, that Mr.
CHESS triumphant exposition Of the matter drew
down lhunders OF applause from The whole De-
mocracy, in which We should not be surprizsd il
some of the other party joined. Certain j! is,
that Mr. SIS peculiar friends looked blue about
this time
We cannot close this article without referring
10 The evident want OF courtesy and llberallty ex
hibled by Mr. 8 towards MIR. Giles. The whole
audience must have remarked The contemptuons
grimaces OF Mr.. S. while Mr. G. was speaking,
and the frequent interruptions BY the former
They plainly showed the dulleriuss of the "wound-
ed pigeon" All must have admired, on The con.
lrary, the dignity, courtesy and liberality OF Mr.
Giles throughout though provoked by The other
side. The very Objectionable conduct OF MI.
Councillor Daniel canno, be passed over in "lhe
pleasant pages OF The Enquirer" He occupied
very conspicuous position, and, having abandon.
ed tha "Yaer Kiver" band, acled on Thursday
night as the leader Of the Callithumpians-h
gave the signal for applause, which was caught
up by his clique. Moreover, il was lar from
agreeable 10 the audience or 10 the lovers oil fa'r
discussion, 10 hear him repeatedly and loudly
prompting Mr.. Sanard in his reply. We trust
that, tonight, these things may be reformed al
together" They do not become The decency and
The talents which Richmond can boast.
The Time, is terribly "dissruntled" al our
ranking il among the "litlle Louisville Jour-
- I'll ,:,u
neiehbor OF the Examiner We do no! regard
i, as "poness, Tor We thought il especially APP
plicabIe 10 The course OF The Times. 10 he inst
place, that paper, in the want Of any Wing
principles 10 discuss, has mostly drawn us pabtt.
luR from lis tracy contemporary OF Louisville,
VIGOROUSLY The foulest fountain OF Rooroacks 10
The country. But Oily, we are reminded OF The
Louisville Journal, when we sec the Times
hunting on, Senator Douglass al his hotel, deg
eipe him about The streets, discovering that 'the
Judge was we'll enough 10 visit our manuac-
tories, and maik Gerry firmly about town." and then
because Judge D did moi address The Democrats Of
Richmond, snecrnsy inslnuaiing that the reason
was because We were afraid that he might ac-
vance sentiments no, paatable 10 this latitude :
All these circumstances did smack OF the "wiI,
force and political knowledge" OF the Louisville
Journai-and hence our neighbcr should have
taken it as compliment, and not become an
cry, al the comparison. But Judge D. will be
here we doubt not, and will ,peakout firmly" his
sentiments in behalf Of the constitutional rights
OF the South
It's no, Tor US, in reply TO our "digufed and
candid" nciehbor, 10 say anything of what The
Enquirer Is, What il tcas we feel our inability
10 equal. We leave it 10 much more impartia
Judges, 10 our patrons and the public, 10 decide
whether we are at all able ITO cope with our
formidable adversary" Of The Times. We GER
tainly have had no occasion 10 complain OF The
judgmen, Of The tribunal.
