RESIGNATION OF Tim TENNESSEE
BBNATOllS—JUiJGE WHITE’S LBT TER.
—Tho Han. Ephraim II. Foster, or lenircsssee,
in consequence of certain rf nistructibn»” Item
hie Legislature, has resigned li.is coat in tho Sen
ate of tho United States. Tho annexed letter from
tfte venerable Judge White' to .Mr. Jacobs, n
member of the Tennessee Legislature, ran ters it
certain that fit has adopted, or will he adopt, the.
same course us his colleague. \Y holeyer may be.
tho differences of opinion in reference to the
principle laiddown bv Judge White on the subject
of instructions, the hifiHsonse of honor, whether
mistaken or not, which dictated his decision, and
that of Mr. Foster, will' bo appreymted as it de
serves. September 6th, 1839.
Dear Sir; Your tloto of this duto has been
handed a few hours .since. By it, you. request
mo to inform yon what course 1 feet it u\y duty to
pursue, in caso' the General Assembly should
. pass resolutions instructing their Senators to vote
for the bill denominated the Sub-Treasury bill,or
resolutions simply expressing Uie opinion that
such bill ought to pass, without any express instruc
tions to the Sfenators to vote for it.
I have long been an advocate for tho doctrine
of instructions, upd mn of opinion that, when a
Senator receives instructions from tho Legisla-
- turo of his State upon any subject, when.no con
stitutional question is involved, he ought to con
form his conduct, .’and vote to sudi instructions
or resign; and I luivri never been able to see tiuy
r reason why the expression of an opinion by
Legislature .should-riot be considered ns in
structions, although no express instruction* mc.
company such expression of' opinion, unless
tho Legislature say they do not intcml auexpres-
eion of their opinion to coutrol the conduct oi
' votes oftiioir Senators.
I have considered a Senator as the agent or
trustee of the people of his State, and that ho
ought to carry into effect, so fnr as in his power,
tho sentiments of n majority of tKo people he re-
■ presents upon all subjects, when he can do so,
without violating the constitution. He ought to
suppose the Legislature, who are his iihinediate'
constituents, express no opinions, or give no in-'
•tractions which do ttpl accord with the senti
ments of a majority of the people j and if he does
not conform his couduct to tiio,expresscd opinion
of the people, through tliomgencv of the Legis
lature. lie is guilty of a broach of trust, and docs
not faithfully represent his State.
* Tholiub-Ticiisuiy hill, so fur «s I mu advised,
docs not involve any constitutional question;
therefore, if the General Assembly deem it pro
per to in >i nu t their Senators to Votif for itipas-
. sage, or con idef it‘wise to express the opinion
that it ought to pass, in either of these cases I
should consider myself bound either to give it
tho support >f my vote, or to resign; and I should
certainly adopt the latter branch of the alternative.
No consideration could induce mo knowingly to
misrepresent the people of Telinessfce, especial
ly upon a subject so important; and by my vote,
no bill productive of so many ill consgquenges, as
I think this would be, shall ever be pa&red. Con
sistently, therefore, with tny principles, no course
would bo left for me but to resign.
I have heretofore opposed the Sub-Treasury,
and voted agonist it, under a firm conviction that,
if •passed, it would be productive of much uris-
■ciuef; I believed a large majority of the necrale
of Tennessee entertained tho same opinion. > At
tho last session our General Assembly instruct
ed me to pursue this course; with much pleasure
I conformed to those instructions, mid I cannot
now act so inconsistent a part ns td support a
measure, in my judgment, fraught with such ru
inous consequences to society. I still believe a~
majority of the. people of this State accord with
mo In opinion upon this subject; but as a Sena
tor, do not consider myself at liberty to go behind
the Legislature in search of public opinion. I
will act as if I believed they correctly fcsgr&ifod*
the opinion of my State, and if they do not,'they
are accountable, not to me, but .the people, who
nro our common constituents or masters.
It is true, as I have heretofore said, that in 1934,
when the Sub-Treasury was first spoken of, I
thought favorably of it, arid Would then have sup
ported it, provided my political friends had agreed
with me in opinion; but the matter is now en
tirely changed in my vtew of tins subject.
Then, my idea was, that the details should 4e
such as to lessen, nut to increase the power, of
tho Executive over the public monies. Now,the
project is to give him, in my opinion, almost un-
4 ’ nited control over them.

SAVANNAH:
Friday, evening, dec. e, leas.
NO MAIL NORTH OF CHARLESTON.
This evorlasting placard has begun to staro ns
again in the face as it did last winter. We threat-
ened tlicn to keep a steriotyped paragraph to
announce the fact, .unless Mr. Kkxdall would
promise better behaviotir in AiUtro. Come, Mr.
Post Muster General, the elections ore ucarly all
over now,* turn to your legitimate duties, at least
during the sitting,of Cotigress l Give us at least
a tri-weekly Mail.
ID* The article of “ Vigiltiw”. in tills morning’s
Georgian, requires no answer, that we con see.*—
If lie cannot understiyid our arguments, it is cer
taiuly notour fault. /AILthe rest of the people
understand them, and that is what we are after,
and not to bandy small school-boy wit with gentle
men. .
As-this is the last paper wo shall issue before
the meeting—it riiay be as wellto state that the
Exchange Bell-will be rung at the appointed
hour.
If “ VigUvus” really thinks that he has uttered
grave and serious arguments on so interesting a
subject’to tho prosperity of Savannah, let him
speak his article over again before the reverend
seigniors or the city's! tho meeting, perhaps they
may rate his efforts at logic much higher than we
do. The Voice ofthe people is the true test of
the'matter. • * ■ ~
Then,.if it was very doahtful whethersafe-banks
• could be induced tp take charge of* the public mo
nies upon reasonable and fair terms, no w,tio such
doubts ore entertained.
- Then, I*had entire confideiica.in the Executive,
now, that confidence does not exist.
Then, we had not the benefit of experience on
this subject. The Sub-Treasury Mu now been
in actual operation for several years, arid I con
sider that experience ought to have taught usjill,
that under its operations, the public monoy will
be unsafe, society will be dcmoralital, by the ille
gal use. of ih and that the power of‘the Federal
Exe'butive'will be increased to »n extent inconsist
ent with our liberties.
It was my intention not to obtrude my opinions
upon tliis, or any other subjecVupan any of the
members of tho General Asembly; but at, $6
same time, I can have no inducement’to conceal
them, I have therefore-endeavored very briefly tp
answer all the points embraced in your note, and
can have no difficulty in giving the permission
you ask, to use my answer in any way you may
think proper. * .
With sontiments ot the most sincere regard,
I am, your obedient servant,

ACTIVE BENEVOLENCE AND CHRIS
TIAN ENJOYMENT.
We cannot ngreo with Dr.-Young,-that “it is
impious in a good matt to be sad,” though we
are satisfied that much of his unhappiness might
be easily banished. ^
Onemode of Bo mg 4 this is active benevolence.
"Assurance," says President Edwards, “is. not to
be obtained so much by self-eXaminution, us by
action," and tho assertion Is equally true of Chris
tian enjoyment, which Hows from this ussur-
ance.
This was tho • course adopted -by Howard.—
Ilte rale for shaking off trouble was,- “Set about
doing good, put on your hat arid go and visit the
sink and, the poor in tho neighborhood, inquire
into their \\%nts and minister to them, seek out the
(lisfonsQlatenfid the oppressed, and tell them of
the consolation oftyeligion. I have often tried
this method,” he add*, “and haVe always found it 1
the best medicine for a heavy heart.”
The prescription is good; and others, ps well
as Howard, may find a remedy for trouble in ac- r
live benevolence. This .will dissipate that sickly
and morbid sensibility y/hicItTbroods in secret sad
ness over real or imaginary'sorrows, which so
often obscures the brightness of the, good 'mail’s
days and shuts opt from his soul the cheering light
of heaven. This, if in. vigorous exercise, will
leave him no time for the indulgence of gloomy
jeveries and despoiiding. forebodings.
This will call forth the sympathies of our nature
vrhichareso conducive, to the enjoymuut ofso-
KJ" We have received Mu's Mate, an American
Romance, by Rvros Daws, Esq., the already dis
tinguished young author, of Admin <\f Damascus.
It was forwarded in adVanco .of tho bookseller’*

would recommend to other publishing houses.—-
We shall qow have time to make up a mature and
deliberate opinion of its merits, by the time it is
announced for sale.. If the author answers in

Whereas, from the irregular position of the

Sir;—The aspect of politics—^the signs ofthe
day in this’country, appear to be Settling upon
the "choree of nienTor tho next Presidency; I
Rpeak of the Whigs, The confidence of the Yan
Btircn men in thc/'ccruiu ru-eleciiou" a* they
say, of tho present incumbent, is vory strong; and
they net with tho alacrity of men sure of triumph-
while many, too many Whigs, believing tho hopes
and expectations of tho other party to bo well
grounded, are passive on tho subject, aud seem
to consider it useless to make Any exertion to do-
feat their opponents. Some indeed of the/riends
of the Bank, and of a good .currency, unfluctua
ting and never ?o precarious rut tiiut we nowhave,
are yjgilaut and disputing evety inch of ground
with the adherent^of absolute power iu the Chief
Magistrate. It seems, however, that the party
will fail—and a rccovery.be beyond tlie' limit of
many years, should tlie point of choosing a candi
date be npt settled—and wisely and calmly de9*i
dnd! Tho friends of Henry Clay, (ofwholu as
a native Georgian I bog to let ydu know I am an
reqt,) are sanguine,that if he be the exclusive
infeiit of Mr. Van Buren, and ho dompeth
tion among rivals claiming the public support,
should mar the harmony of the canvass Within our
ranks, and while tho united and vigorous effort of
all the votefs belonging to. the party bo given to
his advocacy, that the days of the opposite candi
date will be numbered. For our part, we ought
to act like men, wisely and calmly deliberating,
and acting 41 like Cato for the weal of Romo,” and
sacrifice party und personal preference, where a
slight blit not very material schism exists in. tlie
sectional predilections for local men. The con-
testis not so much now a rnnttnr ofRights’
polity, or -upon maxims of rightful authority,
wherever lodged, or in rate; brit upon the ques
tion:—Shall we have a Batik to benefit tiib people,
or shall'we xoag under a Sub-Treasury systom of
hard money, or trashy worthless Treasury notes,
with our Presidents for our Exchequer Officers,
knowing lip will but their own opinion, and as
unlike as Aristides oa possible 1 Are we to have
our administration of the Federal Jurisdiction
as, badly conducted—our money in irrelevant
bunds, controlled and dispensed by men who have
no information on finance, and who ore made
clerks to do the bidding of Jackson and hir suc
cessors, because,'alone, of their loyal devotion to
their party? While this is the question, will
not the more avail our cause to support Mr. Clay,
and to drop every other Whig State Rights’ Man,'
whoso cjiance to beat the present President is
impossible, aud who by being the candidatc/night
serve the most hearty purposes of our adversaries
—which is division? Under these or similar views*
thero can be no wisdom in advocating loca^
candidates', no good in the result of the contest,
and a vast amount of harm. Believing myself
that Mr. Clay if frankly und fairly supported by
the unsleeping vigilance and energy of our men,
and by all the friends ofthe. Bunk, will most assur
edly be elected, I would beseech the Georgia Jour
nal arid |he Recorder to cousidor on the subject I
Governor Troup is still as he will nlflrays he,
foe favorite son of Georgia. But ho himself if
consulted ou this matter,will notaflvise bib friends
to throw any, the least impediment, in the way of
the Whig Candidate. For if Henry Clay was
never so willing to grant foe claim of Georgia to
her lauds, its full virtue and fulfilment,qs they have
now already come to pass—ho can be forgiven in
cq moderation of his oilier important scryipee done

• The Coming of Congress.—Owing probably to
‘the anticipated closeness of votes between tlio
contending parties for tfie election of.Officers of
tho House of Representatives nt the opening of
tho Session which begins on Monday next, tho
gatherm|t tiie Members of Congress at this
^. Government is this year, umisiially
tieut
early qnti ftfll. By yesterday aftnnioon, oqt of
the two ‘ hundred, and forty-one ineriibers now
composing tho House of Represerititives, about
one hundred and seventy Ipiu arrived in tho city.
Among tho arrivals nre oqo or two of those gentle
men who had been reported to bo too ni'ufcU indis
posed to come; and it seems to bo thought that nil
oftho remaining Members who can come .will bo
here in tho course of to-day or to-morrow.
The Senate, also, will probably form a quorum
on Monday.—National Intelligencer, 20th ult.
The Message.—Arrangements have been made
for the transmission of the President’s Message,
by an extra Locomotive; on the respective Rail
Ronds, from Washington to Philadelphia. It will
probably reach Baltimore in about one hour rind
n quarter, after its receipt hy thc Condiictor'; and,
ifno accident interposes, to produce dela£, it will
reach Philadelphia from Baltimore, 93 miles, in
about three hoars. It Wi1! uiuh ho in season for.
the Philadelphia regular train of Cars which Ipttvo
there at 5 P. M. for Now York, and will reach tlio
latter city at 11 at nightBaltimore Patriot, 2d

The N. York Post says that some anxiety is felt
concerning tlie packet ship Villc Do Lyon, \vhteh
sailed from Havre oti the 5th of October, and has
not yet arrived. It is understood that there were
about fifty two cabin passengers and jimro than
one hundred steerage pnssengei** 011 bouid ofthe
vessel at tiie time sne- suiled.
New Jersey Members.—The Trenton (N. J.)
. Gazette, of Saturday, sayp; The Secretary, Mr.
Vyesfcott, left town for Washington yesterday, to
aid in tho intrigue WI10510 object is to nullify the
nuthorily ofthe greatseul,of New Jersey; n protty
business, truly, for a Secretary. Htuniliuting, in
deed, will bo the position of New Jer^oy, before
the country, if her Secretary’s unlawful net nan
stand a moment against the solemn certificate of
her authority. Surely tlio officer who has no
higher conception of the dignity of jtlie state j i&
unfit to be entrusted longer with ils guardhmsmp.
