The Enquirer of Saturday “does not hesitate to say that the Mcssai;e of the President is not the production df a Statesman.”—The most hopeless of all hopeless attempts, is doubtless to satisfy a political enemy.

Richmond IVUig* The Virginia Jackson Republican of Monday is dressed in deep mourning, and the leading editorial a/ticle, after a brief caption, commences thus : “ We arfe^ all amazemoif !!f heart sick I!! chapfallen.'!^, dumb! I!—Mourn, Virginia I Mourn Who’s dead now, asks the reader, “ Mr-. Madison, or who? Mr. Madison is not dead—nor even Mr. Randolph, nor Mi**. Giles, nor even Thoaias Ritchie j but the Hoi’ks 01 the Richmond Party are “deep in the ocean hurried !” To be plain^ • the Republican has discovered that Mr; Tyler, the Senator elected in the place of Mr. Randolph, approves of the manner in which the present administration came into .power, and asthe opposition party found tlicir oppobition entirely upon that basis, Mr. Tyler is lost to them. The - Republican made the discovery in fhc article from the Winchester Virginian, published in the Patriot a few days siiicc, which stated, that “shortly after ibe de termination of the late Presidential elec tion in the House of Heprcseiiiativrsr# Mr. Clay received a letter from Gov# Tyler, approving in unqualified terms* his, (Mr. Clay’s} course in that election, and congratulating Mr. Clay and thb country upon the result.” The Repub lican understands “ from unquestionablflT authority,” that the letter is in sub stance acknowledged by Mr. Tylc'r.** VVe thought at the time, that the Repub lican's boast, that the Administration vas only swapping the Devil for a Witch whca was premativej 8c subjected lo the ordeal* he proves not to be a Witch, & theadmin* istration has got the Devil off iis hands ! In sober earnestness, and party feeling*^ aside, the election of Governor Tyler tcr the Senate of the United States, in the place of Mr. Randoph, is a good thing* for Virginia, the Senate, and the country at large. ^— Balt, Pat. Lmg Speeches.—Mr. Jefferson has said, “ I consider the speeches of Livy, Sallust, and Tacitus as pre-eminent specimens of logic, taste, and. that sententious brevity wliich, using not a word to spare, leaves not a moment for inattention to the hear er. Amplification is the vice of modern oratory. It is an insult to on assembly of reasonable men, disgusting and revolt ing of persuading. Speeches measured 6y tke hour., die irith Ihe hour. ” These words should be wi itten in letters of gold, and placed over the Speaker’s chair in every Legislative body in the country. We observe the following among the toasts drunk at Washington City, on the fuh of January :—“//;y General Houston'^ State Rights and the Kightsof the States,’* S'.c. Is not this a distinction without 2 dill’erence ^ U it not as if he had said “ the 3th of January, and January thi> 8ih f” However, It is the habit of Ten nesseeans to make these nice distinctions.
