CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. AI'GISTA. MONDAY MORNING* JAN . ARY 20. It will be teen by reference to j he proceeding* of Congress that the Venerable J bdge White ha« resigned h.« seal in the Senate He has been driven to thia atep by the instruction* of the Leg islature of Tennessee. What little of virtues left in the pnWic a- rvice ia fastdisappearing be fore the ruffian spirit of modern democracy, an the lime ta notHar distant, we fear, when none but brazen demagogue* will hold office. • doctrine of inatructiona to United States Sena torn, by State Legislatures, is cc mdered by ma ny to be very republican, but fo* ourselves, we humbly look upon it as the moai absurd political dogma of the day, and calculated to weaken and destroy the main ‘conservative principle of our Government. Laat year the Legislature of Ten nessee. being whig, instructed lh? Senators from that Stale to vote agiinst the Sub-Treasury bill —lh.a year, the seme body, it* politics having change** instructs their Senators to vote for that bill ? Next year it may be whig; again, and then the Senators will l>e instructed bark again ! Ihe doctrine is. that Senators must rather obey or re sign. If they obey, they become; the party hacks of every Legislal ire; if they resign they destroy the conservative principle of the constitution by changing the terra of their offic e from six years, to a tenancy at the will of partitan Legislatures. Either result is bad enough. Those who believe in such a doctrine may preach it—not we! Great doings at the Theatre to-night! Miss Welle, Master Wells, Opera, &c. &c. Go and see for yourself.

The Session this morning, fir the first half hour, was interesting and auu|ing to all who like personal matters. Mr. Bolls of Va., after theireatling of the journal, asked leave to address 'ie House briefly in reference to a sjHjech reported, in the Globe as made by Mr. S mth of He wished to know of the member from M 'ine whethe. in declaring that wiiat he had said of Gen. Jackson was false, he meant to impute any personal mo tives to him. Mr. Smith was unwilling to answer. A pe remptory demagul had been made upon him, and belore he replied to it, he wished to lie informed by the Speaker whether or not !«e should tie per mitted to reply to any remarks made by the gentleman from Virginia. The Speaker said, certainly, to any remarks made in order, and to none made out of order. Mr. Smith then said he had i favor to ask, and that from the gentleman from ‘Maine, (hi* col league Mr. Clifford) who war; entitled to the floor. Mr. Clifford said, most certainly he would yield the ffoot to his colleague. Mr. Smith then said that in declaring the charge, that Gen. Jackson was a tyrant, to tie a basu slander, he only meant that all history would stamp such a charge as an erroneous opinion. He meant not to impugn the' motives ot any member, and certainly intended t > bring no charge of falsehood against the gentleman from V irgima. He only intended to say that the opinion ex pressed was an erroneous one - and all history would stamp it so. The Speaker said that if he had understood Mr. Smith's remarks to have been in any way personal, he should have called him to urd. r. Mr. Smith said that he th.ught the whole House undeistood bun as he had explained hun set!. Mr. Bolts declared himself satisfied. NEW JERSEY (AUKS. IT ON. Ttie Speaker then recognised the right of Mr. Clifford to the floor in continuation ol ms speech. Mr. Clifford yielded a moment lo Mr. Duncan of O.no, who staled to the House tnat since he had made the last instalment id his speech, he had rece.ved a paper from the guile. ies. It had turned route ot ins remarks into rhsme, and he rose merely to «ay that he should attach the poetry lights speecU and set it to music. The Speaker nere called Mr. Duncan to order. Mr. I), said he had a right !o the floor, as it had been yielded to him by he member from Maine. Several members demanded that Mr. Duncan have leave lo proceed. Air. Mitchell of N. Y., moved that as Mr. Duncan had a song in Ins head which he intend ed io t sel lo music, hat the Hou*e give him leave to sing it. Mr. Clifford refused to yield the floor any longer, and was aooul lo commence his speech witnout allowing the Clcru to read all ot the statement prepared by him (on y a part of it was read las; night) wnen Mr. Peck demanded that it til be read. The House aad not heard all the annotation* nor the title page. Air. Clifford said that the statement of the Clera thus tar luul been read, not as a peremptory order ol the House, hut as a privilege to mm. Some of the members demunicu. and the state ment was read, and ailer ffnishrig his remarks, he continued and concluded hn; speech. Mr. C. vea* speaking until near me hour ol closing this package and has had .he floor during .he day and since the morning hour, and a part of yes terday. Mr. C ilford concluded soon liter three o’clock, and was lollowed by Mr, Cooper, ot Georgia, who, alter addressing the House very briefly, gave' way to a motion to adjourn. UNITED STATES SENATE. The Senate did not sit to-day, having adjourn ed last evening, alter the Executive session, over to Monday. January 13. BOISE OF HEP RISEN TATI VKS- Mr. Pickens, ot S. C„ immediately upon the reading ol ttie Journal ol Satu nay s proceedings rose and asked leave to address tae House upon a matter ot some interest lo himself. He went on lo say that m a paper of the city he had seen an article relating u> a public printer —(meaning the Mad iso man) —»mca article said, that Duff Green had had counsel wuh the Cailicu n Nulhflers, up on the suuject ot electing a public printer. Mr. Pickens said, that wherever charges were made against himseil pers mally he received them in differently. and treated them with that contempt and scorn which they merited. He regarded them but as the effusions of a corrupt aiui ffoiied man. Mr. Pickens then read the article i 0 soman, and said that if it was designed to charge him, or those acting with him. with holding any counsel with Duff Green in regard to the office of public printer, or intended to make such an ac cusation against hist iends, it was a st. For one, M id Mr. Pickens. I have held and wo.dd hold with Mr. Green no consultation upon this subject. I say this, not less tn reference to myself than to the lilt e band of Nulhhers—the only men confidentially connected with me. 1 did receive, at the commencement of the session, a note from Mr. Green stating that be should be a candidate for printer to the House. I did not | even answer that note, nor have I had any com munication with him upon the subject. Mr. P. further said that he repudiated the charge made_against him, and threw it back, wit scorn and contempt. From the moment t e Harrisburg ngpiina’ion was made, roy mind was made up as lo the course I should pursue. [• r - P. was here called to order by some for one allu ding, I presume, to the Harrisburg nomination.] He then thanked the House for the indulgence extended to him and resumed his seat. COMMITTEE OF CLAIMS. Mr. Russell, of N. Y. chairman of the commit tee of Claims, (Mr. Dawson of Georgia having resigned in favor of him) —moved the House to allow lb? Cc-mmitte to .appoint a Clerk—tjie du ties being very arduofffc. The House wtfulJ not suspend the Rules to allow the resolution to be offered. NEW JERSET UUESTTON. The Speaker announced the orders of the day; and Mr. Cooper ot Georgia, as entitled to the floor. Mr. Cooper spoke but briefly, ami in re ference to some of the cases which had been ex amined. After some remarks from Mr. Leet and Mr. Ramsay, both of Pennsylvania, the Previous Question was put, and the whole matter referred to the Committee on Elections, 176 lo 16. Mr. Ramsay then made an effort to refer a pe tition from Mr. Ingersoil to the Committee oa Elections, but withdrew it at tile request ot Mr. Davis, of Indiana. PETITIONS. After various unsuccessful attempts to suspend the rules for other matters, the majority agreed to receive petitions. The States were called, beginning with Maine and going to Massachusetts. Mr. Lincoln pre sented several memorials from Massachusetts, ask ing for the Abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia. A debate of much interest is now pending upon t.ie motion to receive. » UNITED STATES SENATE. RESIGNATION OF JUDGE WHITE. Mr. White,of Tenn. soon after the session had commenced, presented certain resolutions adopted some time''since by the Legislature ol Tennessee, in reference to various public mat ters before Congress. Mr. White said that the present being a pe culiar occasion with him, and wishing espe cially not to re misunderstood in what he had to say in answer lo the resolution* of his State, he had prepared, contrary lo his practice, notes which, with, the permission of the Senate, he would read. * In presenting the resolutions which had just been read by the Clerk, Mr. W. said that he had but discharged a duty which was required of him Before, he sat down he should state the conclusion he had come to. He had an answer to the several resolutions adopted by the Legislature, and an answer which he in tended to transmit to those who have adopted the resolutions. I cannot and shall not, said Mr. While, obey the instructions contained in some of the resolutions. But I will consider them. First— I am instructed to vote against a charter for a National Bank. That instruction I might obey, for it conforms to my practice here in the Senate. I am instructed also to vote for the Sub-Trea sury Bill. 1 cannot comply with this instruc tion, because I consider the public money will be much more safe in the hands ©f well selected Banks than in the hands of individuals. Sup pose, said Mr. W.. that any one of your honora ble body had $!00 000, would you deposit© it in your own bouse or in a well salected bank ! And are we to take less care of the public money than of our own private funds ? I cannot obey the instructions, because all ex* perience leaches us that large sums of money de posited in individuals’ hands are less safe than in well regulated institutions. It is said, Mr. White remarke<l,that banks are not responsible. Are they any less so than individuals 1 Banks cannot discount with the public money, but agents may and have. By using well regulated Banks we have the advantage of alleast two-f*ld security. I, therefore, said Mr. White, conclude that the public money would be less secure in the hands of agents than of Bank . I conclude also, that for this reason, if for no other, that the Sub-'l rea sury Bill ought not to pass. But there are other reasons, said Mr. White, for voting against this bill. Among them would he the practice of the Government of turning specie into Bank notes. The practice under the Sub-I”reasruy Bill would be for lour years at least to come—indeed for all time—to turn the Bank notes into specie, and then to hoard the specie so collect-d. The whole of it would be in ihe pos session of l.h« Government officers and every govern men: officer who received his one hundred dollars might do as he could, turn it into paper, receiving $ 108 for SIOO. -urh was the practice of many of the officers of Government now, and such very generally would he the practice under the Sub-Treasury Bill. The effect of this would be to drain the channels of trade of specie, and lo keep it hoa'dad. Sir, said Judge W. you might as well give the money to the Executive as to those wholly under his control. The President has but to will to be olieyed. Lastly,in considering his objections to the Sub- Treasury Bill, Mi. White said thatthe Sub-Trea sury Bill was nothing hut a Government Bank of the most: odious character. It is a Bank at tached t.» the Treasury, and bottomed upon the funds of the Genera Government. Its effect would l»e to violate the principles of Gen. Jack son, that the public money ought no more to be locked up than the arras of the Government. Mr. White said that he knew that all who de ounced th s bill would be denounced as a Bank bought Federalist. In all these views, said he, I may be in error, but I cannot and will not obey the instructions of the Legislature in the second resolution. Mr. W'hi.te then considered the other Resolu tions in reference to the Judiciary t ommittee, touching the freedom ol elections—(before the last Congress.) Mr. W T . gave his reasons in full for opposing them. He gave Gen. Jackson and Thomas Jef ferson as his authority, and said that those who condemned him, condemned them. He also quo ted from his colleague, Mr. Grundy, when he said that thiise who interfered! in electiJns were think- ■ »ng of thei* salaries and their bread, and were theres ire unfit advisers of the people. Mr, W’hite then gave his reas >n* for voting as be had, in reference to the Public Domain and other matter*. He replied with much spirit to the strong condemnations of the Van Buren members oi the Legislature, and concluded by taking leave I ot the Senate, and wishing all an affectionate I farewell, anil all possible prosperity. Mr.GrundjrbrWfly Mi ,. lha , h ; shou y ol ] all the marucuo.,., aud „„e | or ,h e Sub-I’iwsury ; . ’ whlch ’ at the last session, contrary to his I judgment, he was then compelled to oppose. SUB-TRKASURT B I Ul. Mr. Wr ghl 4 said that considering the impor- ‘ tanceof the unfinished business, he should not press the consideration of the Sub-T,easury Bill ' at this moment—but he should do so at an ea 1 • day—as aarly as to-morrow morning. % BO ABO or CXAIMS. Mr. Hubbard moved the, postponement of the bill establishing a Board'of Claims, to Thursday next —ordered. . Several reports were made from the standing Committees, and several messages received from the Executive and the Executive Departments. RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Calhojn offered a Resolution in reference to the Southern s aves wrecked on the Bahamas and elsewhere. It called apon the President o the United States to communicate all the infor mation in his possession in regard to the sui ject, and all the correspondence between the State De partment and the Government of Great Britain. Mr. Preston, of S. C. also offered a resolution, instructing the Committee of Finance to bring in a Bill tor reducing the duties or abolishing them upon worked marble, introduced into the United States, when worked by American hands. Ihe resolution lies one day. The Committee of finance, through Mr. Wright, the Chairman of the Committee made two reports —the one from which the Committee asked to be discharged in reference to the sus pension of specie payments —the other in refer ence to commercial intercourse between the Uni ted Sta es. Two thousand extra copies of he former were ordered to be printed, ajff two thou sand five hundred copies of the latter. ARMED OCCUPATION OF FLORIDA. This bill came up as the order of the day, and Mr. Benton again addressed the Senate at length, and in examination of the objections made by those opposed to the bill. From the National Intelligencer. ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. # Jhnhary 14. The Hon. Osmyn Baker, member elect from the State of Massachusetts, appeared, was quali fied, and took his seat. Mr. W. Thompson rose that, for the first time since he had had the honor of a seat in this House, he was about to ask lor a suspension of the rula, to enable him to offer a resolution heretofore submitted by his friend from Virginia, (Mr. Wise.) who was now detained from the House by indisposition. The resolution was in exact conformity to the action of the House yes terday, upon the subject of abolition; and by its adoption, the House would save itself infinite time and unpleasantness. The resolution, which was read for informa tion, is in the following words: Resolved, That upon the presentation of any memorial or petition, praying for the abolition of slavery or the slave trade in any District. Terri tory, or State of the Union, and upon the presen lation of any resolution or other paper touching that subject, the reception of such memorial, petition, resolution, or paper shall be considered as objected to, and the question of its reception shall t>e laid upon the table without debate or further action thereon. Mr. Chinn deo-anded the yeas and nays, which were ardersd. Mr. C. said that, before the question was ta ken, he would ask that a resolution which he would send to the Clerk’s table, and which he intended to offer in case of the rejection of the other, might be read for information. The Speaker said it could only be read by leave. The resolution was read as follows: Resolved, That all petitions, memorials, reso lution-, and addresses of every description, touching the abolition of slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia, or in the States or Territo ries, or in any manner relating to the existence of slavery or the slave trade in the United States, be referred, without deaate, to a select committee, with instruations to consider and re port thereon. Mr. Adams, (who is very imperfectly heard by the Reporters on the right the Chair.) was understood to allude to the fact, that a motion to suspend the rule for the introduction of the same resolution (introduced originally by the gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Wise,) had been twice rejected by the House. And with a view to prevent the motion being again brought up, he moved the indefinite postponement of the motion to suspend. Tha rule applicable to this motion was then read as follows: When a question is postponed indefinitely, the same shall not be acted upon again during the session.” The Speaker said it was not in order to make a motion for the indefinite postponement of a motion to suspend the rule. After some debate the Chair announced the decision »s follows: yeas 128, nays 27. So two thirds not voting therefor, the rule was not sus pended. An important amendment was made to the Rules and Orders of the House of Representatives to-day, for which the friends of freedom of action by the Representatives of the People are greatly indebted to Mr. Hoffman, of N. Y., and his asso ciates ou the select committee upon that subject, who proposed it to the House. It consists in this: that whereas hitherto the Previous Ques tion, when decided in the affirmative, has cutoff all pending motions for amendment as well as all debate, it is hereafter to cut off Debate only, and to bring the House to a direct question on each pending amendment, in their parliamentary order. 1 he House will therefiue be no longer subjected, as heretofore, to the necessity of adopting or re jecting measures of consequence proposed te them without having first had an opportunity to amend, alter, or add to them. IN SENATE. After the transaction of morning business, the Independent Treasury bill wastaken up. When Mr. Clay, of Ky., after some remarks, moved that j its consideration be postponed until Monday, the 27th inst. which was disagreed to—ayes 16. noes ‘26. The bill was then taken up, and several amendments, proposed by Mr. Wright, were adopted. An amendment increasing the com pensation of the receiver at N. Y. to four thou sand dollars, w.ts concurred in. An amendment was then offered to increase the salaries of the re- I ceivers in Philadelphia and New Orleans; but before the question was taken, the Senate ad- I ourned. _ j From the Philadelphia Commercial List. The late news from England is looked upon as favo.able, not only to the interests of the U. S. Bank, but to commercial and monetary affairs generally. The tide in the foreign exchanges was evidently turning in favor of England, and confidence in American securities was returning. The Message of the Governor has had rather a favorable influence upon stocks. Although far from being an unexceptionable document, it is upon the whole an able production, much milder in its tone upon the subject of banks, than we had been led to expect. The fearless manner in which the actual condition of our slate finan ces and internal improvements has been laid be fore the people—and the sacred regard expressed in favor of keeping the public faith inviolate—as well as the bold recommendation of direct tax i a,ion for the purpose of paying the interest on { State debt, are worthy of all praise, and will j tend mu«*h to raise the credit of our State stocks in Europe. j s - Bank stock closed in demand at 86 i Girard had declined to 33£. at which it was offer j ed.

North Bend, 19th Dec. 1839. Gentlemen : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter from Harrisburg of the 7th instant. However objectionable in the opinions of many of our fellow citizens may be the mode of select ing a candidate for the two highest offices of the Government by a General Convention, the pe culiar circumstances in which the party opposed I to the present Administration were placed, seem to have left them no alternative to secure that unity of action so necessary to their success.— The number of Stales represented, and the ex alted characters of the Delegates to whom the delicate task of nominating the candidate was . committed, leaving no room to deubt that their \ decision was in accordance with t- c wishes of [ the majority of their constituents, I accept with gratitude the nomination which, in obedience to a resolution of the Convention, you ha»e done me, gentlemen, the honor to communicate. But however highly I may value this evidence of the attachment and confidence of so large a portion of my fellow citizens, I must beg you to believe, gentlemen, that no one is more thorough ly convinced than I am, that in selecting a re tired and unpretending individua to be their candidate, the Convention were influenced by circumstances often occurring in popular govern ments to set aside the higher claims of other citizens, although f -uuded upon the possession of the most distinguished talents and the per formance of the most eminent services to their country, united to every other quality necessary to the discharge of the duties of Chief Magis trate of this great Republic. It may perhaps be expected that I should em brace this occasion to declare the principles upon, which the Administration will be conducted, if the efforts of my friends to place me in the Presi dential Chair should prove successful. But having, in a letter to the Hon. Hammer Denny, and in another to the Hon. Sherrod Williams, both of which have been made public, given my views at some length of the character and extent nf the powers vested by the Const:tution in the Presiden', I consider it unnecessary to repeat them here. I deem it, however, gentlemen, proper at this lime to renew the assurance heretofore frequently made, that should I be elected to the Presidency," I will, under no circumstances, consent to be a candidate for a second term. With the highest consideration, gentlemen, for yourselves and those y<iu represent, I am your fellow citizen, W. H. HARRISON. To the Hon. John Owen, of North Caiolina, and others of the Committee. Governor Tyltr’s Reply. Williamsburg, (Va.) Dec. 16. 1839. Gentlemen : The nomination which, as the organs of the late Harrisburg Convention, you have communicated to me, is accepted with a sensibility greatly augmented by the fact, that whilst it is a result in no way contemplated by me, it was attended by the unanimous concur rence of that enlightened and patriotic body. To have my name associated with that of the eminent Patriot who is put in nomination for the first office, is of itself regarded by me as no ordi nary honor. His long and faithful services to the country, at the council-board, and in the field, have won for him a distinguished name in history, f and furnish the surest guarantee that should he j he elevated by the populai voice to the chief j Executive office, his administration of govern | mental affairs will be just, and prudent, and w ise. ■ With the Constitution for his guide, and the good of his country his only aim, I doubt not j but that his exertions would be exclusively direct ! ed to uphold the one, and to advance the other. | The friend and supporter of Jefferson, of Madi | son. and Monroe, and the immediate descendant f °f a signer of the Declaration of Independence, j can be none other than true to his early Repub i lican creed, and the devoted advocate of free * principles and of popular rights. ;■ I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Your most oh’t serv’l, j JOHN TYLER. 1 John Owen, Esq., and others of the Com j mittee. i a Fight!

It was duly transmitted to their correspondent bank at Philadelphia.— Acceptance was refused, of which the notary of the Philadel phia Bank neglected to give notice to the ho'dei and endorser at New York, it not being reaffirm by the law of Philadelphia.
