OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA. AGAINST

To the Senate and House Of Delegates Of tie Cen

GENTLEMEN :7Prior to the present mo-
ney crisis. the tendency of public opinion
was towards raising the legal rate Of in,
terest, and abolishing the usury laws.
But the evil Of the times will not be un.
mixed with the great good, if it shall eff
fectually prevent both of tliese measures,
and open our eyes to right reasoning
on subjects which deem of such
Importance as 10 be worthy of elaboration
in special message.
So high oflate was the initiation Of ev-
erything. the people were so stimulated
to over-trading. aud speculation was so
inordinate in its demands for an increase
Of the circulating medium, that the over.
issues of the banks was an effect at first,
and then a reaeting cause Of more and
more expansion. Aspaper money increas-
ed. new enterprises Of every sort multi.
piled, and they seemed to promise profits
so great as toIafford any rate of interest
on the nse of money. This delusion caus.
ed many to demand that tie legal rate Of
interest should Be increased. and many more
urgently to insist on tie repeal of all usury
laics. What now would be the condition
of debtors-not the spend-thrifts alone,
but Of honest business debtors-if these
measures had been passed into laws? ]
have already noticed the effects on those
States which had raised the rate Of inter.

E%The New York Tribune has had

EEThe New York Tribune has had a
lbelous sketch of the Judges of the Su-
preme Court, designating the Judges who
concured in the judgment of the Court. in
in the case of bred Scott, as political
Judges, as small parlisans--mcn of medi-
OGRE caliber and bitter sectional prejudices.
The only two Judges of the Court who are
hot political are Curtis and Nc Lean; they
are not political, because. they decide in
favor the view of legal question taken
by the party of which the Tribune is an
organ Their is no resisting this logic.
1t is conclusive. The Tribune also says
that Judge Taney's confirmation, on the
nomination of General Jackson. was due
to the weakness Of one Henry Clay, once
Senator from Kentucky. who yielded to
the solicitation of Reverdy Johnson, the
Attorney General under Genral Taylor,
and long regarded the ablest lawyer of the
Wing party in the United States. The in
dorsement of Andrew Jackson, Henry
Clay and Reverdy Johnson was worth
something some years ago. but now no.
body can pass for patriot or a man of
ability unless he has the imprimitive of
Horace Greeley, Henry Wilson and the
Rev. Mr.. Cheever. Cincinnati Enqnirer.
