Before being satisfied, ex cept as to part, they had come to a pause.

Therefore New Jersey properly speaks in this can: in her or ganic capacity, and we, at this time, cannot con trovert her, or pennit it to he done in a wav not appointed. We, said Mr. C. hold to die doctrine of"strict construction” of delegated pow ers. Therefore we, to wham no power is d tic- J alad, cannot inquire todiacreditor overrule Now errey. Butnguin, sir,continued Mr. C., remembering still that my appeal is to all who bold this doctrine ofatrict construction, let me here demonstrate whet mainly I roao to prove. It m this; that by the power delegated, no judgment can obtain by usnowqorlho House hereafter, “ofthe election, return, and qualification,” Sic., of any one not admitted to lie a member. There mustbesome- tiling in possession purporting to he on “elec tion” or “return''—some man, professing and acting, presumed or taken to lie n member among you. You cannot act on nothing—ogninst no one. How can you judge of " elections'' where none appear, or of “ returns" where none exiat. As wed might you attempt to take nothing from nothing. But, til addition to this reason, from the nature of things, there was n still better reason for a strict constructionist, found in the Constitution. Tbo power to judge wo* by tho Constitution (see. 6.) given “ of die elections end returns and a uelifications of ita own members." Here, then, is grant by strict construction wo* given to judgi concerning one who i« a “ member’’—not onh ouo who is a member, and so claims to be, hat actually it in bis net exercising his rights. With out this, ho is uo member. Further still; he must likewise be a member in whom the Hotiae claims an interest, an own*r- abip. He must be the House's “ own member.” Until then, nnd of any other, you judge without a dolegated power. Do not say that this is unreasonable, not ao; it is just what ihe compact of union esntoinpiatee, to wit, dial each Stale should bo represented. Of representatives, “ membera chosen by tho people oftho several State*,’’ .hall die House bo “composed." So you perceive, without a viola tion of principle, asauming the object to ho to ad mit tha second fire, you con only do it by lint re cognizing dio five first. ' Seeing, therefore, that having consented to adoptamode now progressive; but interrupted— not to be changed or departed from but by like conient—tiutt your professed principle* require you to respect for the time being, whet you may think will ultimately be found to be a protended claim and that the Opposition are now occupying greundyou were wont to aannne; tlicn, in the name of the peace, good order and dignity of tbit PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL.

MOBILE, DEC. 14.—Cotta*.—®be arrivals mice thi* dny week are 9,073 bales, and exports 50*3 bales, increasing the stock on hand and on shipboard not cleared, to 11,550 bales, against 38,070 bales last sea son. The enUre sales of Uie week only reach about 9.000 bales, at an advance of lc. on last week's prices. This improvement haa been the result of circumstanccr, solely, as boUi parties seem to entertain pretty near alike opinions, as to Uie influence or large supplies. Tho freight engagements entered luto last week and the early part or this, compel shippers to proceed in loading, and Ute uncertainty attending the urrivali from the interior, have had tnelr influence. We may, however, observe, that on yesterday, seller* were anxious to negotiate, which implies a yielding inclina tion. The bulk of purchases arc for the foreign mar- market. The isles have chiefly been at 9c. Annex- 1 are Uie quotation*! ,. . , The receipts at this port, this year, are deficient, as compared with Ute last season, 34,839 bales, and Uie exports 5,910 bales.

The dullness which pervaded the Cotton market at the time of cL»lag our report on Saturday morning last, was succeeded by a more general Inquiry on that day, and sales were effected to Uie xuent of about 3,500 bales, though in most instances, at prices a shade below those before current, as buyers demanded a slight concession, to indue# U»em to operate. The transactions of Monday amounted to 3,000 bales, and the market continued to exhibit the same drooping tendency aa on Saturday. Yesterday but few buyers came forward, and the market, in consequent*, not only exhibited e very dull aspect, but there was also a disposition manifested on tho part of holders to sell on still more accommodating terms, when ofTcr* could be obtained. The sales were about 1,500 bales, ma king the business of the week amount to Our quotations have been reduced |e., bnt we must remark, Utat those for good fair and fine are nominal,- as there has been noUiuig doing in those quoliUes.
