On the 21th Inst., when the bill "to provide for the organization of tbe volun teers, Ac." wss taken np in the Senate, Mr. Webstrs. seiacd "the opportunity to express his views upon tbe situation of the Country as to the revenue, currency, war, cVe. in a short but lucid and pointed speech. He reviewed the letter of Sec reiary Iftdktr declared that the founda tion of tome of his estimates was entirely . too vsgne and uncertain to be rf lied upon; that if Treasury notes were issued to make ap the deficiency of 12.000,000. that the " puiy would hjve to abandon'tbe 8ub pungnant to and wholly inconsiitent with each other, and eould not work together. He declared it as bis deliberate opinion, that trnder tbe operation of the 8ub- TreM ury, the Government coold not procure a . loan for any Jsrge amount; that capitalists would not lend funds to the Government to to be paid in specie, which specie was is -ae draws from the f eraiions of life, and - locked up la vaults. It would prove ruin ous to all business.-- Capitalists would nnt Jrnd the means of prostrating business and consequently depreciating their own pro perty and weakening their private debtors. Mr. Webstss reiterated the opinion that the expenses of the Govenrmeat for the - forty days bad been about a half will .ionofdoUart per day, and that if a full estimate of al the rxpenses of Govern ment eould be made out for that length of time, that it would be seen that they a anoint to fully t20.000.00or He gave it as hi opinion that tbe deficiency, in the aevenne at the d i at tbe . year ; would rove to be much larrer than the estimate ' of the Secretary and that if the preten anurca of raitkir revenue were disturbed. it might become necessary to resorf to rt rret taxation or a forcd loan. He de cimal that he himself and tho eniin Whig party were ready to vote any amount oe- ressarv lor carrying on ine . net, oui no prorWimed that it waa high lime the ad. ministration had given the people and their Representatives some information si it its future plans, objects and purposes j.r ihe proacutiofl of the They wee beginning to ' demand tbis informs- tsurv had the Kxecutive would have to give it sooner' or later; and tb sooner, the bet ter, to allay public anxiety. The public prims were doing all in iheir power to in duce ihe belief that foreign nations were preparing to come to the Mafstance of Mexico, but Mr. WrasTva could not be lief? this. He deprieated what seemed to be the wwh and object of many, the conreraion of the War into one of con. quest and the acquisition of territory. He wanted as to be in the tight throughout, and be therefore considered, that no die grace or humiliation world come upon oe in tendering negotiations to Mexico, and ho declared bis willingness to suspend hostilities for that purpose. But .if this wets not concurred in by Mexico, be wai for prosecuting' ths War with the almost power end in the most vigorous manner. There was no reply to the positions as sumed by Mr. H'tbtter, from the admin istration Senators. So clear and sound were, bis views, that all seemed ineJmed to acquiesce., J fill the Standard publish that tpeech? No ba has too many letters btmctin bis 'clique candidate with disgusting-nd fulsome flatten y yet to publish, before be can give place to nation al matters! VYHiGS!

During the campaign ot 1844, the leader of the Whig Party (that great Sod glorious patriot and elate man Hcaar Cut) predicted that war would inevitably follow the annexation of Texas. War is now upon us, and where it is to end 'What aelo"'bf"Ttr-eonsaeneeso w n blood and treasare it is Jet to cost the nation oo Itnman bring can trU, la the support of the eountry in this war, hunied u wa have been in. to it by the recklessness and impiudtnee of the administration, the Whigs have tallied with a degree of patriotie gallantry oosorpaased in the history of any nation.

Btrt they have not forgottea, in ihe midst ol their seal, ibat there ie another doty they owa to themselves and. their eountry to bold those tie a proper responsibility, who, forgetting tbe hi?h trust reposed in them, tre ncklese of Ihe means used to promote their owa selfish and am bitious views. That tha nation, both in rea ped to its Internal, and foreign relations and policy, is approaching a most important crisis, all must admit. Repeatedly has the firmness and patriotism of the Senate saved as Ironr na tional disgrace and ruin. Oat the other day it threw its bread shield between eor eountry and the desolating effect of war with another foreign nation, the most powerful open earth. Look lag to that body for safety In every emergen cy, it behooves as to see to the qualifications and principles of those who are sent there The nest Legislators will have to elect a Sena tor perhaps turn. It Is left with the Whigs lo say whether that patriotie and eloquent public servant Judge Manovm, is lo be displaced for a partisan Democrat, who will give ear to all the corruptions and misgovernmenl of those in powerr Iet nothing relax your exertion. Bring oat yoor candidates, good and Hoe men, and let them expose the designs of theaa la power- If this be doaa, what hopee have the leadera of the party that they will reoeive- tbe safTragea of tbe people f Tbey already begin to decypher the hand writing oo tha wall.- They feci that their acta cannot stand the ecru tinixUig teal through which the y art lo pasa, and they begin lo ahriok back from the conflict They almost fern- to defend the President.

Tbe bommbugging character of the Standard and bis Clique'' Candidatea outcry, aiont the Governor buying a Rail Road not worth ant red tent, is at last ex ploded. Tbe contradiction diftct is- giv. en to it by figures, mads out under the in spection of members of his own party. Tbe report f Mr. Vass, (the Treasurer of the Road) published in our last, makes the nett profits of tbs Road since January laat junwards of 12,000; Beta the President and Treasurer are Democratt, sod will not the Standard and bis bantlingt believe thtmf T , KT Thennunl State lax in North Carolina is about $80,000. Even'this is regarded by some as onerous ; but what will be said when the State is called on to pay her proportional part of the heavy na tional debt which is to be incurred to up. port Mr. Polk't Administration t No doubt many of the leaders or tbe party who now love tbe dear people so much, will find their patriotism suddenly ooxing out of their fingers' ends! The Maine Democracy is in a per fect snarl. They have been tome lime caucusing to make a Uaiied States Senator; but so far it it no go! Well, give them a little more rope. AH this is but a miniature of what the party will be when the day of reckoning comes. g-7 The Editor of ; the Standard will pardon us if we art too inquisitive, but we would be pleased to know tbe object of that "teeret circular" the Democratic committee hie issued : and we will ven ture to ask also if the Editor does not feel bis cbeek mantle with a slight blush of shame at being caught nl such tricka after he bad warned the people against, them t We hope the Colonel and his committee don't mean any thing like vRevplution!" but the whole business is rather dark. TJIiOOSE BETWEEN THEM. Mr. Shkfaro in his speeches to the peo ple and alto in private, -gives it as his legal opinion; that the' Rait Road Bonds cannot be collected that the obligors are not lia ble. Gov. Graham's legal opinion is that they can, and that tbe obligors are liable! By whom would the State lose most In e lectin Governor? Which would moat like ly enforce the payment or protect the inter est of the State in connection with these bonds! Mr. S.'s conscience tells him they ste null and void, could he enforce them? No! Let the vottrt look out ! . Ar. Shep aril connection with these roads is too near and intimate to be trusted! . "GENERAL POLK'S WAR, ore ysiTfw'rrgf'' A most futimis and -rabid partiaan Democrat (residing, by the way, not an hundred niilea hence,) frosncssing much more assurance and viridiciiveoees thsn disemion and sense, was talking moat tastily and conspicuously a few days sine in the presence of a number of his More " modest " and worthy neighbors, about Hrhifi"Toryum,n--BritMltci'' and al last he got upon what he called "Omrral PtUt't ff'er." "Look! yea, ioox!" he exclaimed, with most atcul emphasis, what glarg Otturnt Polk is winning (or the country ander Oentnl Tatftor, These Mexicans ai'at a meal for un; let 'em come yes, let 'em come we oka whip the whole ihtt )f 'em before breakfast, snd these rascally Whigs kaow it tool" Here there was a solemn patiae.

Tbe people are very politely solicited by the Standard to vote for a man who is thus s titter enemy to their best in terests! It will not do, Mr. Editor the people have not entirely surrended their common sense al your nod! THE POOR MAN'S LUXURY. The Secretary of the Treasury recommends-a Tariff upon Tea and Coffee, which, under the present law, are Iree of duty. "To this completion it has come at last;" and these articles, which are used by the poor as well as the rich, throughout the nation, sre to be subjected to a heavy tax to pay the expenses of this very eco nomic a administration!

No doubt of this, Mr. Editor, and pray to whom IS the country Indebted for this treaty! Had it been left to the DemoeraU of the Senate, instead of having this treaty from which ao mocb good Is to issue, the country would now be wi tbe eVe of Wat With Great Britain. The people era indebted to the patriotism of the Wbiga for the restoration of peace with that powerr and for this, aa Mr. McDuffie candidly proclaimed, they are entitled to the lasting grat itude of the natron. .

Oh.' yes, yon can buxta for the treaty now Mr. Editor, and gladly would you have tbe people believe that al! the glory belongs lo Mr. Polk! But it Will not fake.
