NEW JERSEY MEMBERS OF CON
GRESS.
The subjoined extract from the Message of
Governor.Pj5.v»ii.v6TO.v to the Legislature of New
Jersey, now in session, relates exclusively to the
subject of the return of Representatives to Con
gress from Unit State. 4u this part ofhts Message*
the Governor (says the Journal of Commerce)
proaents a very intelligible view of die ease, nnd
allows clearly, as it sauuts to us, that in giving the
.certificates of election to the candidates having
the highest number of votes, ns returned to him
by the Clerks ofdte several counties, he acted in
strict accordance with law, and could not hav
given the certificates to others without assuming
respective mtididn’esluidmude great cxertionH in
thoirsnpi or», and felt a deep intoreitin thoirsuc-
cjss; and it could not thereforo ho hoped that
any decision Would he satisfactory to nil, or es
cape die censuro of those who should bo disap
pointed by the result. It would have boeu agree-
tide to my feeliugs could the necessity for action
oa tny part iiave liectt duiuonsed widi altogether.
The duty, however, wo* imperative, and there
was no chnirc hut to discharge it according to
law. The whole subject was laid before all. tin 1
nmiolitux of the Legislative Council, summoned
as a PftvyCounril, was discussed at large, .and
resulted tvi a recommendation by a mnjority of
that body Utat the cortificatesinnsthe granted un
der the then existing laws of the State to the per
sons to whom they were subsequently given, nnd
the whole tnorits of the Controversy fell to the do-
ci-ioti of Congress. This result not being satis
factory to those, persons who did not receive the
ccrf.fictv.cA, they anti their friends have taken such
course as Uicv thought proper to do respecting it;
nnd whether that course has heeu well or ill cho
sen. all will he permitted Jo judge according to
their hsihits of thinking and acting. Every re
view of the opinion expressed at that time has on
ly confirmed me in the belief that the law was
i'utlifully declared, and beyond that for myself I
feel no concern. In counting the votes, tho Gov
ernor and Council are ministerial oflicers, having
no judicial power. The township officers make
f cir returns to the clerks of the dilierent rounties,
:uid tliOa’o olficers to the Governor. The clerks
base their return exclusively upon tho reiunis
mule to them by the township election officers.—
They cannot modify or niter thorn in any way,
and the Governor and Council in this rcspoct, ns
caundng officers of a higher grade, must rest also
<Ui tho returns made to them by the clerks, and
cannot vary or depart from them. So far as any
difficulty iscroated by the return itself, ns by mis
takes in addition, misplacing the name of a candi
date, the omission of a letter, or by any other irre--
gnlarity appearing on the face of the return, the
facts being no fore the Governor and his Council
may ho and should always be corrected in such way
as to carry out the clear intention of the voters.—
In tho present instance every- vote was given
to the candidates according to sitcli intent, so
tarns tho same could he a certnined by the returns
before u«. We refused to go out of the returns
undo by the clerks, from a conviction that we had
no power by law so to do. Such was tho advice
given me by my constitutional advisers* and in
their opinion* I * did then and do now coincide.
Was i. over intended to give to the Governor em
power over the returns which the clerks should
tn tke? Has he the right to reject any return, or
to require or dictate nny modification olitf No
Mitch power ever was, in my opinion, confided to
him, an 1 uonc such, l trust, yvill e ver Iks placed in
t te hands of one man. This would be n danger
ous delegation of power, and one which I would
resist iii coumiou with every other citizen of the
State. He must count the votes os the returning
officer sends them, without exercising any con
trolling influence'. Great importance ha* been
attached to the words in the law which require the
Governor and Privy Council to determine ti e six
persons for representatives ‘who have the greatest
number of votes from the whole State.’ What
vote* are here referred to? Clcariv those contain
ed int'ie returns of tho clerks. The act itself *d
declares. What else could govern the couuting
officer? Is he to be guided by rumor, by the state
ment* of individuals, by certificates of township
officers, or must he be governed by the returns
nude by the officers appointed by law? It seems
to me there cannot rest a doubt on the question.
The return nude by the clerk of Cumberland
was a general one, in strict conformity to the act,
giving tho aggregate vote for each candidate, in
t le wnrb county .without specifying the townships
anl purporting to ho a full return of all the vote*
of the county. Wo* this return to lie rejected,
and, if so, for what reason? The return of the
clerk of Middlesex specified the townships, and,
as td the towndiip of South Atn’ioy, declared that
uo return had been made by him from that town
ship according to law. Had live Governor a id
Coined it right to joy, your return is false, fc
towiuhip officers of South Amboy havo made a
return to you .according to law? It is idle to talk
ofnuy|*ucii power; the exercise of it would violate
the whole spirit and intention of the act. Is it not
perceived that such a construction would make
the Governor and Council, who by law are mere
counting officers, the arbiters of the whole election?
And if they may go this leugth without the sanc
tion of law, they may, with the same propriety hold
a grail J in guest over tho whole election, and sit in
judgment upon the entire canvass. So arbitrary
and illegal an act ou the part ofyour executive offi
cers would receive mfversal condemnation.
‘It has been further insisted that the Governor
was hound by law to send to thcrclerk of Middle
sex fora return of the votes of the township of
South Amboy, which by his certificate appeared
not to have been made to him according to law.
I have searched in vain for any such law. None
such exists. Tlteotily cose provided by the
statute is when the clerk of a county makes no
return at all. In such a case ihe Governor has
authority to send for his returns and only in such
ca*e. There were returns made by the clerks
Jrmn every county before the count was made,
and by law we* were bound to accept nud act
upon them. The precedents were found, on in-
quiry,to be in all conformity with this view of the
case*.
There is not n single instance where any Gover
nor and Council ever went beyond the clerk’,
return, or ever acied upon any other evidence
than his certificate. On the contrary, there are
tnanv cases which sanctionthe construction which
wa* odbpted. Several of the members of Conn-
cil had been members two years before, when the
very saute questions arose in a case from Somer
set county, and the rule was considered as settled
by that case.
’ ‘Yon will -perceive that I place myself, and
those gentlemen who acted with me, upon the
high groiiud of having faithfully executed the law.
If we live under a government of laws, wc must
follow them implicitly, without fear or favor, nnd
all good citizen* will sustain their public oflictrs
in so doing. If any injustice has been done, the
remedy i» a plan one. The power is willi Con-
grn s;t icy a o.ie have the right to rectify tho erro ,
if any exists.
“So fare os tiie conduct of the clerks of Mid
dlesex nnd Cumberland is concerned, it does not
become mo to speak. That they acted as faithful
public officers, under a solemn sense of obliga
tion, and with a higher regard for the authority of
law than the praises or censures of men,
had a doubt.
“It is much to be regretted that this question
should have assumed a mere party aspect. From
that moment all reason and argument ceased,
and were followed oqly by denunciation and pas
sion. If I could believe that I possessed one se
cret spring of action that looked like a desire to
usurp either the personal or political rights of the
li ti molest citizen of the State,l should hold myself
unworthy of further public confidence. No, gen
tlemen; nothing is further removed from my
wishes or intentions, und I feel it right thus pub-
Ucly to assure you that all the allegations which
have been made, of any interference on my part
either direct or indirect, with the clerk an any,
county as to the nature or form of the return
which lie should tnuke, are utterly without found-
ati6n.
“I am led to this explanation in this place, not
so much from a belief that it is at - all necessary,
as from an habitual respect for the opinion of my
fellow citizens. No single subject in New Jersy
was ever made a more direct question before the
neoplc'atan election than this has been. They
nave rendered their judgment, and, while I have
reasotiosa public officer to feel, us I do feel,
highly gratified at the result, I have no desire
to appropriate it to myself as a personal consider
ation, hut shall always regard it as the testimony
ofa noble and intelligent people in favor of the
Inivs nnd their faithful execution. 1 leave this
whole subject with a single remark, which tho

That tho hills of tho U. S. Bank on Messrs.

there ennnot be a doubt. The fact was officially

notwithstanding that on the 29th September, Mr.

was compelled to moke ail application to the Bank
of England for a loan, wliich was granted him
under the guarantee of .Messrs. Baring, Morrison,

Tho claim which this sum is to meet is entirely

Correspondence of the Courier and Enquirer.
Loxdox, Sept, 24th, ^Tuesday,) 1839.
Siuce the departure of the Liverpool steamshp
every thing respecting the late occurrence in Paris
iu connection with the Bank ofthe.Uuited States,
has settled down intoajperfect calm. To the groat
satisfaction of the merchants, both of F.nglnnd and
France, the Messrs. Rothschild now regularly act
for thejBnnkofthe United States.
Ti e weather since our accounts by the Liver
pool has been again unfavorable with the excep
tion of yesterday* hut at night tho rain recom
menced and continued until 12 o’clock to-day.
The afternoon has been bright and warm—hut the
win 1 being still iu the south und south west, it is
not probable tlint tho present sunshine will last un

The state of the money market remains un-
olinnged. The suspension of payment by the
Bank of England is now openly discussed in the
London newspapers—and all parties—appearing
to think tho event inevitable—are busied in devis
ing the best mode of carrying the stispeniion, in
to the least injurious nud durable effect.
Bhoitld the Bank ofEugland sii.spiiiid^nnymnnt
in the present year, tiudoutedly the much greater
degree of popular intelligence which prevails on
tha general subject of currency and hanking, will
prevent the same ruinous consequences from be
ing witn s*ed again. And under all the present cir
cumstances of the country it is rapidly becoming
the c mvlotion of many important cap talists, that
the eveut is one devoutly to be wishud.
The business in American Securi ie* remains
equally dead us at the time of the departure of the
Liverpool steam ship. Nothing whatever has
been reported excepting the sales of the shares of
the Bank of the United States at 21 10.
The whole commerce of the couutry is in a
state ofs'a 'nation and gloom—and only a few
hours of sun-dime now sometimes occpr to brigh
ten the hopes of millions of people, whose govern
ment so outrages the whole order of nature as to
never compel us by prohibitory corn laws to depend for
existence on a soil nud climate which when Sep
tember is oil the wanehus brought nothing for the
ensuing year, while on your continent a magni
ficent harvest was secured before the termiuutiiQp
of the mouth of June.
The misery which threatens to he ho wide
sqrcad during the etisqing winter will., probnluy
however rid the world forever of those tyrannical
Coni-Laws, by which this great manufacturing
nation 1ms so long been impoverished and oppres
sed.
# In France disturbance* and distress ore begin
ning to p vcvail in the provinces in consequence
of the high price of bread. The harvest of that
country lias proved light.

The recognition of the indepcnce of Texas has
been determined upon by the government of
France, and the treaty is to be signed forthwith.
A great determination of emigration from Eng-

are so glowing as to rank it amongst the finest

Tho public mind in France Is almost wholly ab
sorbed l>y tho fear of the approaching famine, and
Uie Government is notwitnout apprehensions of
serious disturbances, should the rumors of un nh-
solute scarcity of grain come to he generally cred-
itod Tho ilfoiiiVriirot^rimrsday provos.by ofticialj.a-

adds that a similar result may by looked forward
to by the people during the autumnal season.
Still, ns there were hut 8,000 sacks of flour in
the depot in purls on Thursday, and as the corn
deulcrs in tho vicinity of thccupUnl were doing all
ui their power to keep up tho price of bread, tho
poor derived very little consolation from the as*
surances of the Moniteur.
Tho Government, it is said; looks to America
for relief, ns there the harvest Ins been good;
mid the French will find it more profitable to on-
courage tho importnUott of flour, than to cram
their warehouses with'cotton, for which there is
no demand in the French market.

being made to got in tho outs, nearly tho whole of
which were still out. The condition of the grain
ops, generally, is described as deplorable;
From other sources, wo lenrn that tho crops
throughout Ireland will fall very far short of an
average, with tho exception of patatoes, in the
North, which never promised hotter. Much of
the wheat that has been gathered in is in a dam
aged state from the ram.
A passenger informs us that in several parts
of England, the nccouts ofhnd crops had been ex
aggerated—but nil the lowinuds near rivers, had
been inunii ited from tho heavy rains.
It should he remembered, however, that low-
lands in England ore generally grass meadows.
The gentleman referred to, gave, a.* his opinion
that tho wheat crop would be one-third below mi
yield* 6 ' U,,J thnl ralh ? rfrom than ii short

NEW-YORK, Oct. 30.
Private letters, from tho very highest sources,
state that the condition of tilings in England is
much better than wlmt appears in the public jour
nals. The crops are in, aud there will be an
average though not a good crop. This fuet has
caused n hotter state of things.
The Money Market was easier, but nothing
was doing in American Securities. Letters from
Paris in relation to U. States Bill.*, nro ofthe most
satisfactory kind. All tho Bills, of the United
States Bank on Hottengeur&Co., Paris, are pro

Iu fact the whoje pause in the acceptuuce ofthese
Bills was owing to an accident.
The stock market is down to a lower ebb than it
was ever our lot to record it. Boiv.c de«e*ipliou

LIVERPOOL, Sepl. 27.—The gloom which we
