that they are totally unworthy of that confidence,
,I,J that they cannot with safety he trusted with the
guardianship of the public interests and liberties?
And strangest of all will it be. if, the administration
persisting in its financial policy, the Conservatives
should manifest the craven spirit of their Richmond
organ, by “ submitting to the decision of the Rep
resentatives of the people,” should that decision,
in opposition to the known wishes of the people
themselves, be in favor ofthe Sub-Tieasury bill.
Indeed, we h utlly know what to think of the En
quirers position—or in what language to spe.-.k of its
counsel to its friends. There is a wide gu If between
the two wings ofthe administration party—so wide as to
teein almost impassable ; and yet the Euquircr treats
it as a tiling ofthe least possible consequence—as a
renewal of the old dispute between the Uig-cndians
aud the Little-endians, whether the egg should he
cracked at the bowl or the point ! If the Sub-Trea
sury bill pass (quoth the Enquirer.) we shall submit
—if it be rejected we shall rejoice—but whether it be
adopted or not, we, for sue, "sink or swim with Mar
lin Van Buren," its author! It opposes Clay be
cause he is in favor of a National Bank ; and yet it
supports Van liurcii, although he is in favor of a
Cove -uncut Bank—a system infinitely more olijec
r, , l„, because it certainly augments the patronage
a. m b wer of the President—demolish?* one ol the ,
best defence* of Slate Kiglus—centralize* the Bank
ing power aud the fiscal action of our sy stem, and
thereby paves the way to a consolidated government
_destroys the efficacy of the representative princi
ple, and erects an unlimited monarchy, surrounded
bv the forms, hut destitute ol the spirit of popu
lar freedom ! The people will no more he willing J
•* util Spring," lha*i they w«r f //*w, tosuppoit such a
measure, or the .udmim.itrjtiou which clings to it, or |
which only renounces it lor (lie same reason that |
a rat deserts a sinking ship,—to escape itievi- ■
(able destruction. 11 -id theadminMiation retreated
from Us position us soon as it discovered that the
people disapproved of it, there would have been some
virtue in ns abandonment. But it will be entitled to
no merit now. even if it desert the bantling whose
biedous featur* s have shocked all hut its immediate j
parents and their hiivlmg nurses, since it is only to
save themselves and their (JJicts ! Rut we feel no
disposition to deprive the Fmjuirei and its fiiends ul
•ucli consolation as they may denvr from the hope
of the wroudeis they will achieve next Spring. We
are content to enjoy the present, nrul to leave the
events of April, 1839, to speak foi themselves. They
constitute an unwriiteu chapter—and we are “ nei
ther a prophet, nor the son of u prophet,” to attempt
10 sketch it. We have just as little confidence in the
Enquirer's sccond siqht as in our own.
(Jy** The Washington Chronicle seems highly
■delighted with the result ofihe Virginia dec lions—
am) it really makes a very pretty stoiy of it ! Accor
ding to its tabular statement, the H’/irgv proper will
only have some 10 m 15 members in the next Lcgis
laiurc of Virginia—and all the rest will hr—what
does the reader suppose ? Why, “ HepubHcans,"—
that broad mantle, which, like Charity, covers a
multitude of sins,—nr like Joseph’”* coat, is a thing
of many colors ! Will our deluded tiieml ofihe
Chronicle In* kind enough to tell uswhat idea lie
has of a IF//»£•» sic.ee he left the Whig ranks in
■September last ? Will he till us what he means by
■the term “ Republican,” since in it l.e embraces
Nullify ers and Royalists—Conservatives and Sub
I’lrasuiy men—and, to our knowledge, fiiends of a
National Rank, as well as of State Ranks ? What
does he mean, when he says that Witcher and
Tunstall, (Rimer and Southall, Jones and Flood,
11 de and Wade, Tyler and Robertson, Ac. Sic. tie
not Whigs ? Dues he know these gentlemen bi tter
than they know themselves ? Tliev sav they are
Whigs—they came before the people as Whigs —
and by every one but the self-duped editor of the
Washington Chronicle are classified as Whigs. We
should really like to know what is the n»*w test of
Republicanism,—for, if it be advocacy of the Sub
Treasury policy, not more than four ofihe Whig
members of the next Legislature will be Ilrpubli
eans, mid not more than 20 or 25 ol the administra
tion party—so that really, friend Cialle, there are
bni very few Republicans left in the Old Dominion,
>1 you aie to be the judge. Rut if there be any
oilier test, will the Chronicle be good enough to let
u* know it—tor leally we are so bewildered by the !
new definitions given to old terms, that we hardly
know what we aie ourselves. We should not be
turprised, indeed, if friend C. looks upon us as a

;> r' We invite the attention of the reader to Mr
M lay s resolution, (which he will find under the
I Congressional head.) and to the brief sketch of the
debate upon it, which we copy I rum the llaltimorc
American. Mr. C*s resolution, it will he seen, was
designed to aid in the general resumption of specie
payments, ami is lint materially dissimilar to that pro
posed in the other linu*e. some weeks ago, by Mr.
11 inier—and yet with the exception of the linn (Un
servntive members of the Senate, (Rives,Tallmadge,
Ruggles and 1 iptun,) the whole ailmiuisliation par
ty iefused to give a direct rule upon if. Who, now,
wc ask, arc the friends of a lesutnptioii of specie pay
meins—and who in favor of non-resumption ? The
MViiLegislature of New York has coererd the
Hanks ol that iState to commence the redemption of
their notes, by refusing to extend the amnesty act.
Mr. Clay, the \\ htg leadei in Congicss, ende.ivori
tw encourage and sustain them, by extending to them
the countenance of ('ongicss. And theentire .Suh
1’ieasury party, on the other hand, frown upon his
proposition, and consign it to the slow action of the
Finance Committee of the Senate—hut another
mode of inflicting upon it a lingering di ifh.^ I* not
the “ Government," then, instead ol Mi Hiddlr, the
ge.it “ .Xon-lu'sumcr ?” And w hat w ill the Knijuirer,
which wasso highly delighted with Mr. Hamer’s
resolution, say, (or rather think, for it will say no
thing.) of the course pursued hv the Sub Treasmv
friends of the administration in relation to it ? The
reader will remember, too, in roi neelion with this
subject, that just on the eve ol the New York and
\ irgmia elections, letters from Mr. Womibniy and
pain graphs from the( jlobe were industi mnsly dissem
inated, disavowing, on behalf of tin* government, all
hostility to the State Hanks, and affecting gieat as
tonishment that such a feeling should be attributed
to if. Tnose elections are now over, and the govern
ment party are resuming their old ground. They
have nothing now to gam by wearing a ma-k, and
they again throw it off. They seem to forget, or re
mrinbering, they care not for the fact, that, in a re
publican Government, its measures shun hi i riled I lie
w ill til the people. They act on the contrary maxim,
that the people are mere machines, to be ac.ietl upon
by their Ru!ers-*-mere instruments to adtancc their
ambition—things to be taxed, that their Masters may
revel in splendor and luxury, and be exempted Innu

*• Prior is transient,ami Truth iintnori.il ; a.nl
the political delusions of the moment will pass away
like a cloud,” quoth the N. V. Evening Post, to
consult* its Loco loco patrons under their recent de
feats. It is just sue h philosophy, by the way, as we
have all along hugged to our bosoms, during the pe
riod when impious men have borne sway, and pat
riots have been doomed to private stations—truly,
in such limes, the post of honor. And w t have not
been deceived. The pol tical delusions under which
a large portion ol the people have so lung labored,
are passing away like a dense vapor when touched
b\ the rays of the son; and the transient nature of
Error, and the immortality o( Truth, me receiving a
ficsli and a glorious illustration. Mr Clay, many
years ago, when most fieicely assailed and most vm
dictivelv persecuted, exclaimed, with the boldness
ol conscious rectitude, “Tititli is omnipotent, and
Public Justice certain.” That he did not overiate
the intelligence or the rectitude of the people is
shown by passing events. The revolution has com
menced which will bear the slandered Patriot in tii
umpli to the Presidential Chair—a result which,
honorable as it will b«- to him, will be scarcely less
so to the nation, ol whose best interests he has so
long been the ablest and the firmest champion, and
w ho has never “ given to a party” the exclusive bene
