PETERSBURG, Dec, 24. Virginia Lcgijlature v The following refolution was moved by Col. Larkin Smith, in the Houfe of Repreicntatives. “ RESOLUTION. cc The extreme licentiouf nefs of the federal editors in their abufe of the Prefldent, has been fuch as to require a corrective ; and as it is highly impolitic, as well as unconlbtutional, to place any regal reftraint on printing prtfles, the only mode of coun teradmg the baneful effeds of fuch publications, fhould be by an exprtffion of the public will. “ Rejched therefore , That the prelent leg'llature, as a com ponent part ot the community, declare their entire dilappro bation of the grofs, indecent, and unprincipled attacks made | on the charader of the Prcfi dent of the United States, and fo fully and confidently are they allured of the uprightnefs, and purity of his motives, as well as a fincere and firm belief, that his official duties have been dif charged in fuch a manner as to promote the real intereft, happi nefs and independence of their country; that they are induced to give their unequivocal and decided approbation to every part of his condud, as far as it j has come within their know ; ledge, and they feel a pleafura j bic duty in declaring, that there is no man in America, who de lerves more of the confidence and fupport of the people of thefe United States, than the enlightened, philofophic, bene volent, and patriotic republican, Thomas Jefferlbn. “ Rcfolvedy That the fore going cxpieftion o the fend merits of the Houfc of Repre fenratives, be communicated to the Senate for their approbation.” The following refolution has alio palled both houfes of the General Affembly unanimoujly. Refolved, That James Mon roe, late governor of this com monwealth, deferves the thanks of the general affembly, for the zeal, fidelity and ability, with whicli he has difeharged the va rious duties of his office.

The President’s Message. This coinpofition is remark ab 1 e for great fimphcity and ftrength of didtion. It prefents, without oftentation, as it were incidentally, the conti ollingprin cipies of the executive magif trate. The chief of thefe are “ peace and friendffiip abroad, law,order and religion athomcj” individual induftry and enter prife, <c unembarraffed by too much regulation, unoppreffed by fifeal exadlions a pundtual and prompt payment of the public debt j the fubftitution of economy for taxation, render ing the latter as light as pof fible. Thefe are the fame principles which were fo eloquently en forced in the inaugural ipecch of the Prefident; and of the wifdom of which the late mea fures of the government have afforded the beft pradtical evi dence. Orr reaai<*rs will recollect the violence with which ah rhe important meafures rf the Eft fcfnon were oppofed by the fe deral party. They denounced them as urjnft; they derided them as weak ; and hurled their bolded anathemas againft their authors, j hey pronounced the provifion of leven millions three hundred thoufand dollars, for the annual redemption of the public debt to be a flagrant ini pofition upon the national cm dulity j and they declared that the meafures then taken would incrcaie indcad of diminifh the debt. But the prophets and their predictions have fallen up on evil times. They were not credited when uttered; and events have lardy difproved them. Not merely doiiais, the fum plighted, but eight millions (befide one mil lion paid by the fale of bank dock,) principle and intered of public debt have been paid, and there dill remains in the treafury four millions and a half, a larger fum, it is believed, than has exided there for a long time pad. To frieet contingent events, the Prefidenc was authorded to reloan certain portions of foreign debt. The power was repro bated, and infmuations of finif tcr views were imputed to thole on whom it was conferred. But to the difappointment of party fpirit, the power has not been ufed j and the government has difeharged its obligations with out its aid. The power to appoint an agent for tranfafting bufmefs in Europe relative to the debts and Joans, was reprefented as referred with a view to provide a lucrative office at the bedowal of the government; but no fuch appointment has yet been made; the fifcal operations of the go vernment abroad have been well managed without fuch an agent. Can evidence more finking be exhibited of the indifpofition of the chief magi (Irate to ufe any power not actually required by exiding circumdances ? The federalids reprobated the repeal of the internal taxes, and confidered that meafure as cal culated, in its effeCls, to deftroy the capacity of the government to pay the public debt, and to fupport our navy. How wretch edly have they deceived them* felves or others ! The debt is in a dare of rapid difcharge > and the Prefident recommends efdcient meafures for the protec tion of cur frigates., The reduction of the army was condemned, and a glowing piClure of diftreflTes on our fron tiers called np to intered national feeling. Yet that army, (mail and little expenfive as it is, has proved fully competent to every purpofe of fecurity and of tie fence-. And the nation will re joice to learn that no change is deemed neceflary in it. We rnav, in fhorr, run thro* all the changes of alarm that were wrung lad feflion, and find in the meffage their refutation. BLANK DEEDS for JaU at this October 27.
