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.

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.

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.

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 following gentlemen were,’on Monday last, elected Directions of tho Bank of Augusta for oue year from that date; Jobi|'Mupre, James McDovv- all, Asaph Wuieruum, Samuel Clark, Jtftnos Fra ser,* Robert A. llecd, William Camming, James W.

The Senate, also, will probably form a quorum on Monday.—National Intelligencer, 20th ult.
