I v' : -1 i - - v -!-.' -. -- !' -II is a very jretnarkable circa instance, that after morejiban three years' struggling to carry the abpvetneniioned pernicious tneastirehroogh:Congress,and after threej or "four 'successive! defeats, hqw, when by the grossest violation of the Constitution and legal rights and privrliges of one of the State., the Administration! has secured, at least for the time being a devoted majority, they still are afraid to take hold of it, dud apparently are afraid to press it in the House of Representatives. There most be some cause for this ; for the Administration would not, for mere amusement, suffer euch a mea surer one in which the present Executive has placed his strongest hopes and his most ardent desiresto sleep in this manner, when he knows he has strength enough in that body to carry it through, at any mo ment when he isiall think it expedient to give the order. j jVVe shall be mcch disap pointed rrr our expectations, if this mystery is not cleared up land dissipated, as soon; as the result of the election in Virgin ia is as certained. Should it pTove to be in favor of Van Ourenism, we have no doubt the SuD-Troa8ury will be pushed through the House with all practicable speed, and the machine be put mlbperation as. soon as the nature of thiogs will admit. It is true, the time is short between this and the chojee of presidential (electors, and thp is one ground of surprise! that the Sub-Treasury bill, which passejd the Senate several months ago, has been suffered to slumber so long beforfijthe Representatives, especiallysince spurious members' from New Jersey have been foisted into the House; and the admin istration have had: under their , command! a faithfnl majority. I i , We presume I president Van Rureh has been fully aware J for sometime past, that if fhe election in Virginia should prove to be against him, prospects and hopes ofj a re-election vvou 4 entirely vanish. There are some of the projects which ho is dispos ed to pass through Congress, which do not .suit the taste or pplitical principtes of that, State. Que is the Sub-Treasury. As the object of this proposed measure ob viously is, to give him,! by an Act of Con gress, the control of the Treasury, the Vjir ginians, from ah inherept dislike of tlu scheme of putting the public money into the hands, and, of course, placing it at the disposal, of the Executive, j They habito ally consider money and patronage as a means of corruption ; and they are well e nongh acquainted with the history and mode of operation of the head of the rultnp party, to bo unwilling' to entrust the treasu ry in hands 'which arc used to dispense fa vours of this sorjU. aad which belqna to one who never madcaoy advance towards great ness without bjujying his vway. Without the aid of this jadventitous circumstance, every body whq bas had the opportunity to watch his political career, must know, that if once deprived pf the means or purchas ing popularity--or, in other words, , the means of corruption, Martin Vpn Bnren would instantaneously sink into absolute insignificance. jiMany (we hope and trust a majoritvJ of tlie Virginians, are not dis posed to place those means in his hands,' for the purposti' of making another four years' experiment upon theipublic welfare and prosperity. :j f Another measnre which the Virginians appear to have bit little relish for, is the project of raising; a standing army of two hundred thousand men from the militia of the several states, to be under thecommand, and. devoted to tlie uses of the President of the U.JStates. .The people of Virginia, from the time of Patrck Henry dowqwardsj to. the present dayj flave entertained! the most determined dislike at the idea of placing the power of the purse and the sword in the hands of thekExecutive branch of the government that; of the purse to corrupt, and that of the sword to conquer, the puri- ty anc treeoom ot our country. ujtn an army of one hundred thousand men underj his immediate command, and liable to ; be; called forth into! active service When and where he shall choose, and their obedience secured by the tremendous power of that ferocious "code jcalied "Tfie Rutes and M4 tides of Harj tliere will be no physical force at hand thai will be able to check his progress towards permanent and absof lute dominion. Aware ot tne aaigers o this alarming and high-handed measure 0 j T the Virginians in advance of the people o ait the other Sta es, have become roused and have set the r faces against a project which involves gfross violations of the con! stitution, and exposes the liberties of; the people of the Union to be overthrown by a military despotism. 'A:.

IJxpressl ! Great National Convcntioti ' From the Baltimore American of May 5. ) Ve piopose to give below some account of yesterday's proceedings, as full and ac curate as possible, ai though any thirfg- Idee a complete history of so memorable ajday, including all details and incidents, would be quite beyond our power in the brief time allowed us now. We might stake; the vast numbers in attendance the banners.bapges, order of procession, 'and every statistical item both of arrangement and procetings but the sketch would still be altogether imperfect.! For how were it possibU to ttansfer to paper the reality of the scene to transfuse into a description the living jspjw rit which quickened the immense concourse as ojne man and which, more than the ar ray of banners or the pageantry of proces sions, constituted the real element of sub sistence tojlhe mighty gathering, prompting the eloquent barrangue and the responding shout the; deep enthusiasm of word jdhd look with which friend greeted friend, ; or Which, diflused in silence Jiko a palpable presence over the vast assemblage, imparted a feeling of solemnity and '.grandeur blend ed in unison with the idea of a Nitiqn's majesty. It seemed as though the people themselves had met in their legitimate "alti tude of sovereignty, to vindicate thefGon stitotion and the Laws, nnd to rebuke j the presumption, wbtch seated! in high places, had used delegated power is though it vveie a self-derived authority, forgetting the dread allegiance due to the saciid charier of iA merican freedom. ; I ! f ' -.!' i ! . ; il The spectacle presented by our streets yesierday morning was of the mo&t exciting and exhilarating kind.

From various points the del egations moved at an early hour with! ban ners and music to take their allotted posi tions in f est Baltimore street. Each de tachment as it passed on was greeted with shouts; thje windows were crowded; with ladies who looked with delight upon the scene to which their own', presence,; with waving handkerchiefs audi fluttering veils, gave a bright adornment. -'Phe matching of the innumerable divisions, the array of ban ners, the gallopping of the marshals to and fro), decorated with gay sallies, the! sound? of music ajnswering to music, and bf shout prpvokiog 'shout- all imparled life Si. enthu siasm and gave a happy beginning to the coming pageant. j I THE PROCESSION.
