ing inviolate the Constitution will be elected from
Congress, and men put in their places who would,
to accomplish their objects, ignore the constitution
al authority, trample upon the rights of the South
and burn down the Capitol" The Enquirer, al
though seeing in this tendency great cause for
alarm. thinks there is yet hope. 1t looks to the
moderate, conservative men of the North to give
check to this coalition and its influence. 1t says
that the Wings of the Nortwho are willing to stand
by the constitution may avert these dreadful evils
The Enquirer in brief notice of an article from
Saturday Whig, contends that Its prediction that
the Wing party would use any action of the Demo
Gratis to bring about extra session to their preju
dice, is fully verified by the language of the Whig.
The leader of yesterdays Whig is upon the anti
Nebraska resolutions of the Senate of Connecticut
1t considers the threat of the Connecticut Senators
that they will never submit to the introduction of
slavery into Nebraska, while it indicates the extent
to which an INSCRIPTIONS fanaticism may CO. will
not seriously affect the nerves of Southern men, 1t
concludes thus:
"All we have to do however, is to await patiently
tue attempts of Northern bravados to carry their
lnpotent threats into execution. We may then
take calm survey oftbe whole field, and determine
upon such action as our interests and safety may
require"
The Penny Post thinks that England and France
combined, present front so formidable that it is
hopeless for Nicholas to oppose them and suggests
that ne hadbetter yield at once as the coon did to
Captain Scott
The Posthas some further notice of the Ward tri.
al and predicts that the report of it, which the Ap
petons are about to publish will 'have run great
er than any publication of any character has ever
enjoyed" If so the fact should go far to quiet the
bitter abuse of the South because of the killing of
northern man by southern man, who is acquitted
OF the crime. Money is great salvo every where,
and we do not suppose it is less 30 in the North
than any where else! They are smart people,
those Northerners. They do all our carrying trade
and make millionsby t-they provide the chief of
all articles Of furniture and wearing apparel we
use-they fatten upon our folies and fleece our
travelling southern people-and they even make mo-
neg out of0ur crimes!l
The Post notices the sketches of the New York
Delegation in Congress, by the correspondent of
the New York Times, who caricatured our Virginia
Delegation. The Post thinks that though there are
great men to be compared with the giants of the
past, yet there is the material awaiting only the
casion and whenever there be need of greatness,
our country will not suffer for the want of it."
The Mail notices some remarks of the Baltimore
Patriot in depreciation Of feelings of hostility and
Jealous rivalres of the cities of the Chesapeake
The Mail concurs with the Patriot in deprecating
these feelings and considering them entirely un-
called for 1t thinks there is enough for ell of the
cities of Virginia, and that there should be entire
unanimity and cordial cooper alton among them.
But the Mail objects to proposition of the Patriot
to form league between Baltimore and the Vir.
sna cities, in order that she may with the Virginia
cities, participate equally in the advantages of the
public improvements of this State The Mail very
justly contends that Baltimore has DO claim on vir
gna, and that she has already her full share OF the
benefits of the public improvements of the Old Do
minion The population and means of Baltimore
with such equality Of participation would secure
her the lions share; against which the Mail is dec
dedly opposed, and thinks the Virginia cities will
not be less SO. 1t assumes that those cities have
only to 60 ahead as they have begun pressing the
works of Improvement in which they are interested
to prosperity that will astonish even those
who are making the most extravagant calculations
