2 euronicu ana senitntL AUGUSTA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19. Fire. The alarm of fire last night between 9 and M o’clock, proceeded from the kitchen, a small wooden tenement, of Mr. Lewis Leon, near the comer of Bridge Row and Reynold street, which at first threatened to extend to the adjacent build ings, some of which were wood, but the timely arrival of the engines confined it to the building in which it originated. Loss very trifling. Mamxchusktts—The Senate on Thursday elected F. P. Robinson President, in'place of Mr. Leland, who had resigned. The House at 12 o’clock joined the Senate, and went into convention for ths purpose of fill ing vacancies, with the following restilt, so far as die proceedings are published in the Boston evening papers. The District of Essex had fire vacancies, which were filled by the election of five Loco focos, by an average majority of about seven votes over the Whig candidates. There were also four vacancies, which were filled by the choice of that number of Locofocos, by majori ties varying from one to four. The Abolition ists voted for the Democrats. It appears by the report of the Joint Committee for counting votes for Governor, &c., that the Whole number of votes were 117,892 Marcus Morton, 56,491 Jolm Davis . 54,939 Samuel E. Sewell 6,382 F. Jackson 37 William Jackson 34 Fifty-nine other candidates were voted for, for Governor. Whole number of votes for Lieutenant Gov ernor, 117,724. Henry H. Childs 56,228 George Hull 54,992 William Jackson (r,39J John Pierpont .. .. 39 Fifty-three other candidates were voted for, for Lieutenant Governor. There is now very little doubt that Marcus Morton will be elected Governor ot Massachu setts, as there will be a clear Locofoco majority in the Legislature. It depends on only one con tingeney. If the House of Representatives should choose to send the names of Governor Davis and Mr. Sewell, the Abolitionist, or that, of Mr. Jackson, who only received 37 vote leaving out that of Mr. Morton, the latter would be defeated. This, we have, no idea the Whigs will do. try We learn from the Nashville papers that in the case of the State of Tennessee vs. Thos. L. Budd, who was sentenced to the penitentiary for making false entries on the books of the Union Bank, the decision of the criminal court was reversed by the supreme court, which pro nounced that clause of the charter under which he was convicted, unconstitutional. The lower house of the Legislature of Penn sylvania have passed a resolution, byaunanim ous vote, that no member or officer of that body shall be entitled to receive any pay for any day on which he shall fail to attend the House; and that no member or officer shall receive anj" pay when absent, except he be in the performance ol duties required by the House. The Herald published at Mills Point, Ky., says that clay has been found in that section of the State suitable for the manufacture of Queens ware of an excellent quality. A gentleman has devoted many years to the subject is of is of the opinion that a beautiful article of Queensware can be produced from it. Prissident Houston. —The President ol Texas is, in an article in the Texas Times, ac cused of corresponding clandestinely with Mex’- ieo, of misappropriating the public funjis, of purloining sundry acts of the legislature, among others, one appropriating 100,000 acres of land to the use of the Santa Fe prisoners, and of . many other equally improper acts. Capital Punishment in New Hampshire.— The bill to abolish capital punishment, that was introduced before the legislature of New Hamji shire, p rad the House, but failed in the Senate. The rep. nt of its abolition in that StaXe, which has been circulated, is incorrect. Delaware.—This is one of the States whose financial condition, as it respects debt, has been preserved sound through all the troubles and temptations of past years. Gov. Cooper in his recent message to the Legislature says: “ Our public finances are still free from em barrassment, our surplus revenue remains un diminished, and every demand which has been made in the meantime upon the Treasury of the State has been promptly , met and discharged. Our currency, though reduced, is still perfectly' sound; our credit continues unimpaired, and no imputation or suspicion of political fraud or public dishonor rests upon the fair fame of our commonwealth—and evety consideration con spires to prove that the people of our State, as tar as their condition is affected by the action of their own immediate government", are still pre eminently prosperous and happy.” The Exchequer. The Washington correspondent of the Balti more Patriot, after commenting upon the little favor with which the President's plan is receiv ed even by the “gaura,” says: “The friends of the President, who haunt the lobbies, and lounge about the galleries, know not what to make of the conduct of the Guard, in opposing the specific plan of the Exchequer recommended by the President himself. 1 hey were in favor of it because Mr. Tyler recom mended it: and they are perfectly astounded at finding the President’s own peculiar and fa vorite measure rejected by his friends—by Messrs. Cushing and Wise; —and even by' Mr. Proffit, (who, being possessed of less intellect than ei ther of the others, generally swallows whatever is proposed.) They know not how they can go before the people with President Tyler’s mea sure, when the fact is staring in the face of the whole country, that the Executive, plan is re pudiated REJECTED THRUST ASIDE BV THE VERY SMALL CORPS WHO SUPPORT THE PRESI DENT. The more astute attribute this opposition of the Guard against the Executive scheme to their jealousy and hatred of the Secretary' of State, from whom the scheme is known to have ori ginated. They oppose it because it is his.— They regard him. with all his high intellectual powers, as a millstone around their necks: and would think it a most lucky riddance to have him off, on any terms. Cushing wishes him to go, because so long as Mr. Websterremains in the Cabinet, he can ne ver reach the object of his ambition —v place in the Cabinet—which he can never hope to obtain but under the present rule of faction. Wise wishes him to go, because he always hated him, personally and politically, with as much rancor as ever one politician can feel to wards another. At any rate, the Executive scheme is resisted, and there does not appear strength enough a mong its friends to bring it up even for considcr ation. Not one man has ventured to commit himself so far as to asZ: for its consideration.— On the contrary, all that Mr. ‘lushing and the rest of the peculiar friends of the President re quest is, that their substiiote for the President'- plan may be considered.

The President of the United States has sent a Message to the Senate in compliance with a resolution adopted by that body on the 27th De cember last to this effect: ''Resolved. That the President be requested to inform the Senate if com patible with the pub lic interest, whether the quintuple treaty for the suppression of the slave trade has been com municated to the Government of the United States in any form whatever? And, if so, by' whom ? tor what purpose ? and what answer may liave been returned to such communica tion? Also, to communicate to the Senate all the information which may have been received by the Government of the United States going to show that ‘the course which this Government might take in relation to said treaty has excited no email degree of attention and-discussittnin Europe.’ Also, to inform the Senate how far the 'warm animadversions' and the 'great poliiirnleXritemcnf which this treaty has caused in Europe have any' application or reference to the United States. Also, to inform the Senate what danger there was that ‘the lairs c.iidobligations' of the United States in relation to the suppression of the slave trade would be ‘executed by others’ if we did not ‘remove the pretext and motivefor violating ourflag and executing our laws' by' entering into the stipulations for the African squadron and the re monstrating embassies which are contained in the Bth and 9th articles of the late British treaty. Also, that the President be requested to com municate to the Senate all the correspondence with our Ministers abroad relating to the fore going points of inquiry. Also, that the Presi dent be requested to communicate to the Senate all such information upon the negotiation of the African squadron articles as will show the ori gin of such articles and the history and progress of their formation.” The Message states that no application has been made to this Government to become a party to die Quintuple Treaty. As for the “attention and discussion in. Europe,” the “great political ex citement” axiA“warm animadversions' concerning which inquiry is made, the President quotes from the Message of the 9th of August last in iwhich the KxprassKms ocwtr, 'lng on thc4nitismlssidn ol The trdaty with land to the Senate, and says—“ltis not'perceiv ed how the accuracy of this general statement can be doubted by those who are acquainted with the debates of public bodies in Europe, the productions of the press, and the other modes by which public opinion is manifested in an en lightened age,” As it would be improper in the Executive to go into any discussion or argu ment upon such a subject with the Senate, the President declines any' further remarks upon this part of the inquiry'. From that partot the Message referring to the danger that our laws against the Slave Trade might be executed by others if we did not enter into stipulations for the A Rican Squadron, we quote the following: Vessels of the United States found engaged in the African slave trade are guilty of piracy' under the acts of Congress, ft is difficult to say that such vessels can claim any interference of the Government in their behalf, into whosoever hands they may' happen to fall, any' more than vessels which should turn general pirates. No torious African slavers cannot claim the protec tion of the American character, inasmuch as they are acting in direct violation of the laws of their country, and stand denounced by those laws as pirates. In ease of the seizure of such a vessel by a foreign cruiser, and of her being brought into a port of the U- States, what is to be done with her? Sltall she be libelled, prose cuted, and condemned, as if arrested bya cruis er ofthe United States? If this is to be done it is clear that the agency of a foreign Power has been instrumental in executing the laws of the . United States. Or, on the other hand, is the vessel, with all her offences flagrant upon her, to be released, on account of the agency by which she was seized, discharged of all penal ties, and left at liberty to renew her illegal and nefarious traffic? ft appeared to me that the best if nol the only mode of avoiding these and other difficulties, was by adopting such a provision as it contain ed in the late treaty' with England. The Treaty contains no stipulations for “re monstrating embassies,” All that the Treaty provides for in this respect is contained in the ninth article in these words: “The parties to this treaty' agree that they will lutite in allbecoming representations and remon strances, with any and all Powers within whose dominions such markets [tor African slaves] are allowed to exist, and that they will urge up on all such powers the propriety and duty ol closing such markets effectually at once andfor ever.” The President does not deem it consistent with the public interest to communicate all the cor respondence with our Minister-abroad relating to the foregoing points Os inquiry’, W ith respect to the origin ofthe articles rela ting to the African Squadron, it is stated that they were proposed to the British Minister by the" Secretary of State, under the President’s ex press sanction; that they were acceded to by Lord Ashburton; and they have since been rati fied by both Governments. The President takes this occasion to make the following remarks, which are not without a pertinent ajiplication t It always gives me sincere pleasure to com municate to both Houses of Congress anything in my power which may aid them in the dis charge of their high duties, and which the pub lic interest docs not require to be withheld. In transmitting the late treaty to the Seriate, every thing was caused to accompany it which it was supposed could enlighten the j ndgment of the Senate upon its various provisions. The views of the Executive, in agreeing to the eighth and ninth articles, were fully expressed; and pend ing the discussion in the Senate, every call tor further information was promptly complied will), and nothing kept back which the Senate desired. Upon this information, and upon its own knowledge of the subject, the Senate made up and pronounced its judgment upon its own high responsibility; and, as the result of that judgment, the treaty' was ratified, as the journal shows, by' a vote of thirty-nine to nine. The treaty has thus become the law of the land, by the express advice of the Senate, given in the most solemn manner known to its proceedings. In conclusion, I hope I may' be permitted to observe that I have, out of a profound respect for the Senate, been induced to make this com munication in answer to inquiries, some of which at least are believed to be without prece dent in the history of the relations between that body and the Executive Department. These inquiries were particularly unexpected to me, at the present moment. As I have been so for tunate as to find my own views of the expedien- ■ cy of ratifying the late treaty with England con firmed by a vote of somewhat more that four fifths of the Senators present, I have hitherto flattered myself that the motives which infiuen- 1 ced my conduct hail been frilly appreciated bv those who advised and approved it: and that if a necessity should ever arise for any' special explanation or defence in regard to those rno- ■ lives, it could scarcely be in that assembly it self. From the Baltimore American. Relief to. the States. In considering the proposition of Mr. Cost Johnson for the reliefofthe States, itis to be re ’ membered that the question involved is one sim ply of,expediency as to the disposal of a large property ownea by the States in common, The right of the States to the Public Lands being re cognised, it becomesa legitimate subject of dis cussion how that vast fund shall be administer ed so as to produce the most salutary results. Ait annual distribution of the pioceeds of sales would do something', and it would do enough if dhe States were free from debt. But in the pres ent exigency we arc driven to inquire for some more immediate and general realization of tne immense property, which, though intrinsically valuable, will not yield money in the naarketex cept-by the gradual process of annual scales in nr iponion to the spread of settlements in the West. Now a National stock, based on the Public Lands. wiM effect the immediate realization of that property , so much to be desired; it will an ticipate sale’s, yet it will not im, ait the inherent value of the security—The general Government' acting as the Iruste 'ofthe fundin the cnseofan annual distribution nt the. proceeds ot' lite sales would be exercising tin -amc function in the case of an issue of N ational stock. The latter mode of administering the benefits of the fund is to be preferred, because it would be jgu-t* ef teciivc and better adapted to the diffieiihie" of the crisis; but the i litn iple implied is the s..me. in both case.- lie Genc'al Goveinment v oulii act as the trustee ol a • < mmon tmtd lot the liejiefii ol’ the.

Our readers have already been made familiar through a brief notice in our Congressional re ports ol Mr. Botts’s proceeding in reference to the prtposed impeachment of President Tyler ; and they were informed that the House, by a vote of 127 to 83, refused to sustain Mr. B.’s proposition. The specifications read by' Mr. Botts, on f;"senting the subject to the House, were as follows: “1 do impeach John Ty ler, Vice President, acting as President of the United States, of the following high crimes ant! misdemeanors : “Ist. 1 charge him witli gross usurpation of power and violation of law in attempting to exercise controlling influence over the account ing officers ot the Treasury Department, by or dering the payment bf accounts of long stand ing that had been by them rejected for want of legal authority to pay. and threatening them with expulsion from office unless his orders were obey'ed; by' virtue of which threat thous ands were drawn from the public Treasury without the authority of law. “2d. I charge him with a wicked and corrupt abuse of the power of appoihtident to and re moval from office: First, in displacing those who were competent and faithful in the dis charge of their public duties, only because they were supposed to entertain a political preference for anotner; and secondly, in bestowing them on creatures of his own will, alike regardless of die public welfare and his duty to the cotmtry. “3d. I charge him with the high crime . and misdemeanor of aiding to exeite a disorganiz ing and revolutionary spirit in the country, by' placing on the records of the Slate Department his objections to a law as- carrying no constitu tional obligation with it; whereby the-several States of the Union were invited to disregard and disobey a law of Congress which he him self had sanetidned and sworn to see faithfully executed; from which nothing but disorder, con fusion, and anarchy'can follow “4th. I charge him of being guilty of a high misdemeanor in retaining men in office for months alter they have been rejected by the Se nate as unworthy, incompetent, and unfaithful, wiffi axi ptfoiid will, and t»®l indiilerAieWto foe-public nfterflEtw— “slh. I charge him with the hi'dlf crime and misdemeanor of withholding his assent to laws indispensable to the just operations of Govern ment whichinvolved no constitutional difficulty on-his jiart, of depriving the Government ol'all legal means of revenue, and assuming to him self the whole power of taxation, arid ot collect ing duties ot the people without the authority or sanction ot law. “6th. I charge him with an arbitrary, despotic and corrup abuse ot the veto power, to gratify his personal and political resentments against the Senate of the United States for a constitu tional exercise of their prerogative in the rejec tion of bis nominees to office, with such evident marks of inconsistency and duplicity as leave no room, to doubt his disreganl of the interests of the people and his duty' to the country. “7th. I charge him with gross official miscon duct, in having been guilty of a shameless du plicity, equivocation, and falsehood with his late Cabinet and Congress, which Jed to idle le gislation and useless public expense, and by which he has brought sueh dishonor on himself as to disqualify him from administering the Government with advantage, honor, or virtue, and for which alone he would deserve t»> be re moved from office., “Bth. I charge him with an illegal and uncon stitutional exercise ot power in instituting a commission to investigate past transactions un der a former administration of the custom-house in New York, under the pretence of seeing the laws fa ith fully executed; with having arrested the investigation at a moment when the inquiry was to be made as to the manner in which those laws were executed under his own Administra tion; with having directed or sanctioned the ap propriation of large sums of the public revenue to the compensation of officers ot his own crea tion, without the authority of law; which, it sanctioned, would place the entire revenues ot the country at his disposal. “9th. I charge him with the high, misdemean or of having withheld from the Representatives of the People information called for and declar ed to be necessary to the investigation of stu pendous frauds and abuses alleged to have been committed by agents of the Government, both upon individuals and the Government itself, whereby he himself becomes accessory' to those frauds.” The Resolution proposed by Mr. Botts in connection with this proceeding, was as follows. Resolved, That a committee of membersbe appointed, with instructions diligently to inquire into the truth of the charges preferred against John Tyler, and to report to this House the tes timony taken to establish said charges, together with their opinion whether the said John Tyler hath so acted in his official capacity' as to re quire the interposition of the House.

The following’ article from the Cincinnati s Rcptibljcan, will liunish to the readersome idea of the extreme distress which must follow the t recent arbitrary determination ofthe Legisla } ture of Ohio, requiring a number of the sound ’ Banks forthwith to liquidate theii concerns : The following statement shows the amount of capital withdrawn from banking business i.i 1 Ohio, by thepxpitatiou ofthe charters ofthe .. several oanks mentioned,; and we have added, e in each case, the amount due. them on discount „ cd paper. 'l'hi:- paper, from.the necessity ofthe ;t case, must now i>e paid by those indebted; and fbrthetiiue it iita-st prouuce serious embarrass r ment; for there is very little currency in fiteu r lutiou, and.no specie. The banks left alive uq not appear to be in a situation to extend loans; and where tlie money is to come from to pay three millions of debt to the bank's whose chai -8 ters have just expired; it puzzles us to Ibietel. The difficulties ofthe case appeal to,the good sense and sound discretion of all concerned. ’• There should be no panic; for the banks defunct '> have means to pay their uebts. If men ofbtisi '• ness are cramped in their efforts to meet their ) engagements, iL lioulil be rumeuibered thavtheii 5 actual property is no Jess than it was before the .banks expired; Unit their energy and capacity 1 for business are not lost; and that a proper Ibr h bgarance on the part of creditors may save many a good man from being ruined.

The increasing interest which this subject is exciting anidng all classes of reflecting men, in duces the conviction that it- will;ere long, be*- come the que4k>n of most absorbihg interest that can agitate the national councils or the people. We aig therefore much pleased to ob serve, that so laras our observation has extend ed, the reflecting men ofthe country, like true patriots, are viewing it as a separate and dis tinct question, one of too great magnitude to be canvassed upon party considerations—to be ad vocated or opposed, Ixicattse tliis or that man of tnie or the otheE'great parties advocates or op poses the measure. This is the proper spirit, and it is of its manifestation, that we tee! so much plea sure in presenting to oiir read ers the admiiftbte letters ofthe Hon. Vs. Cost Johnson, one df which will be found in this day’s paper, and inviting the calm and dispas sionate consideration of every thinking and in dependent pi. every class in society. It is to be the mere demagogues will advocate or oppose the measure, as shall seem to serve their ambitious aspirations, quite as probably withppt as with reflection; to such we do not appeal, to consider Mr. Johnson’s plan, bui we do ask every honest man, who feels confi dent that he thinks for himselt', and, lias inde ’pendence enough to express his opinions delil-- crat'.dy and maturely formed. .

We regret to learn that the good I’UeUj.pn qf the two Houses Ims het n de feated by Lie ExeviHi.-.c voto. Guv. Mc-Dumdd says: “It does not appear itpon the face of the bill, that i‘< was adopteu in compliance with the yro visions ot an act of Congress, passed at ihe late session, resuming the authority to control and coerce the legislation of the States on this >ul - jcct, nor would 4 presume to say. that the Leg islature was ihflnenced bv that coirideration. •i that the bill would not have been passed, in dependent of such unconstitutional requirement nyt |Ju* Ejecitive is unwilling io give hisas gu art ylik-h may be < on>trLed- into an acquiescence fa hn uijjQ.-i : iitroucmuent upon the rights of ihejStates. Unauthorized .assump tions of power in mailers of even small import, should be me! moderately, but thinly, and resist ed as the harbingers of more dangerous usurpa tions.” The absurdity cf this proceeding is most mon strous. Itis not denied, lor it cannot be ques tioned, that the Constitution authorizes Congress to maho concerning the election of members liouse of Representatives, an I io alier any regdlaiioas which the Htalps mav I have made on .that subject, in tbw absenceoi’any , aivg’iyt ment ’ey ( ’ahg.i .-s. ‘l.i ’. ’it be supposed j then that been said’iii the?;ppo ihih- meut taw ic jtie duty qf the States to [ district themselves, and that the lav hat. simply i i required cv< ry merpher ofthe House to beelect- 1 ed from a single district. Uilder su«4i a Irw < Low could tin? members from Georgia claim §eats in the House, elected at they are by a gen- 1 oral ticket.' The law of Congress having al- I / re? th»* regulation.-, hitherto in fur?-'! in Geoigia i i spoctm j dip election q1 membero ofUongr<!>:, , it could rot be maintained that those regulations were still valid. The most ultra State Kights man could, not deny the i of C’ongre.under the/const.tutiun to ‘falter'’ any regulations on that potn made by a State Legislature. The State of Georgia now stands in a singu lar pjouition. If it be granted that Congress has no ?ight to direct a State Legislature to change its laws, or to pass such as it pre scribeNj |.nd the admission be made that the clause in the-Apportionment law so directing is unconstjiulioiiai—in short, allowing every thing, which the nullifying Governor claims, it is yet manifest and unquestionable that such provis ions of the law as go to alter the regulations of . the State on the subject of G‘ongressional elec tions arc constiiutiohal, andcannot be gainsayed. If then the State of Georgia will not comply with the regulations prescribed by Congress, it is evident ihat there are no regulations in force in that Commonwealth for the election of mem bers to the national House of Rcpresentath es. The State of New Hampshire stands in ihe same jxjsiiion. But to talk of the assumption by (,'ongrc -s of the authority “to control and coerce the legisla tion ofthe Slates on this subject,” is really to talk in a manner so ridiculous that one hardly knows how to treat such language. It seems impossible that those whduse it can be in earnest. The matter assumes a grave character only when it is rememberedthat seriousdilficultiesare like ly to grow out ofthe blind ob -tinacy and sense less pride of men, who clothed with a temporary authority, appear to consider that sovereignty dwells only with then), and that common sense has nothing to do w ith such high maitcic. astSiaie independence and gubernatorial dignity.
