This great man has not scut big figure
in the Senate this session. Our last Le-
gislature instructed our Senators to vote
for repeal Of the Specie Circular. As
soon, however, as the Sub-Treasury pro-
iect was started, he (Walker) became
jealous champion oft, and cried lusti-
ly for Divorce of Bank and Government.
By,speech, he attempted to thwartthe real
ization Of the wishes of the people ofthis
State, in advocating the reception ofnoth-
ing but gold and silver by the General
Government. And what lis the finale of
the gentleman's action upon this subject?
When the resolution for the repeal of this
Circular, comes up, Mr.. Walker happens
to be sick. This is an easy method Of shuf-
fling off responsibility, and violating in
structions, by getting sick. Should either
of our Senators vote for the Sub-Treasury
Bill, they ciOlate erpress instructions. The
Sub-Treasury is nothing but an extension
Of the principles of the Specie Circular,
to all the dues to the General Govern
ment, and by voting for the Sub-Treasury,
they of course vote for continuation Of
the Specie Circular. The democracy
have sung anthems over the inpioIdbitity
of instructions, and let us see if they will
cling to their avowed doctrines. We will
see whether they love Party more, or
principle less. As for Mr.. Walker, we
place no confidence in him. After he had
gorged himself by land speculation, and
piled up an immense fortune, by wringing
from labor its hard earnings; he had the
unblushing effrontery to speak of friend.
ship for squatters and emigrants, and de-
nounce the Land Speculator. After be.
coming possessed of his thousands of a.
cres of Land, he claims merit for his at
tempts to check the career of speculation;
which very check upon speculation he
knew, would enhance the price Of his own
land, and enablehim to realize more e.
normous fortune. From the most sordid
views, has he been so ud.mouthed on this
subject.


Again, this same Mr.. Walker, not
|


many years since, while practicing at
torney in Natchez, from the same selfish,
pecuniary motive, come very near SWind-
ling one Of our most respectable citizens
out Of the sum ofabout $4,000. He was
detected in his villany, and the note depos-
tied in his hands for collection, taken from
him. We shall as soon as we can, pro-
cure full statement of the case and lay
it before the public. We invite the atten-
ton Of our readers to the publication of
L. X. Clifton, which will be found in our
to-day's paper. G.
