Correspondence of the Chronicle <§• Sentinel.
Washington, Saturday Evening, >
December 20,1840. $
There has been fbrseveral days a perfect
rahn in politics here; a most agreeable one,
as you may imagine, to those of us who
have been long on those “waters of bitter
ness.” The members ofCongress thus far
indeed, have generally shown a peculiar
indisposition to do any thing that would
produce the slightest tumult and commo
tion. The two great movements in the
Senate—that of Mr. Clay for the repeal of
the Sub-Treasury; and the powerful assault
of Mr. Webster on the financial part of the
Message, and the Secretary’s report, either
of which, in times that I have seen, would
have led to protracted debate, were insuffi
cient .to overcome this almost universal
reluctance for any active discussion on the
part of the majority. Mr. Clay’s admira
ble speech was answered by Mr. Wright,
and there the matter ended. Mr. Webster
completely exhausted the topics to which
fie. drew the attention of the Senate. Our
friends seeing it was not necessary to add
anything to his masterly exposition, con
tented themselves with saying nothing;
and the Administration men were warned
by Mr. Wright’s total discomfiture not to
attempt to engage in a field so hopeless.
Mr. Benton’s long speech on taxing bank
paper, fell powerless and unheard. The
Senate was content, to send his proposition
out of doors without noticing his profound
remarks. But he consoled himself by
publishing an expose of four mortal columns
in the Globe of the same evening.
“Unread, unanswered, ’till he writes again
He'll spear the endless cobweb of his brain.
Charmed with each plunge,* reviewing
what he’s writ,
Blesses his stars, and wonders at his wit.
There has been quite as little inclination
for debate iu the House of Representatives
and it is not probable that we will have the
President’s Message up for reference to the
different Standing Committees until the
holidays are over. When the House goes
to it, there will unquestionably be some
able and spirited discussion ; and the mem
bers who are looked upon as the future lea
ders of the business of the House, under
the coming Whig Administration, will no
doubt be emulous to distinguish themselves
by their full and accurate information on
the topic under consideration, and their
skill, ability, and eloquence in debate.
At present we are enjoying the festivities
of the season, with all our capacities for so
cial pleasure. Christmas here, as in Mer
ry England, is held on far more honor than
New Years Day, and all the good old
hospitable rites, are duly and generously
observed in most of the families of the city.
Many of the churches were open as usual
in the forenoon, and collections taken up for
charitable purposes. The day was devo
ted by the members of Congress to inter
changing social visits. The President and
Heads of Departments, the Foreign Minis
ters, Ex-President Adams, and the more
distinguished Senators and Representatives
received company at home, both in the
morning and evening.
By none was the day which is hallowed
to all Christians, and .the whole week,
more appropriately spent than by the la
dies of the Washington Benevolent Society
who gave up their whole time day and night
to preparing and holding a Fair for the
benefit of the poor, whose sufferings from
destitution and exposure are rendered so
peculiarly severe, by the extreme rigor of
old Winter. The patronage that was ex
tended to their exertions, was on a par with
the charity that prompted them, and like it
of that generous quality which blessed both
the giver and receiver. D.
* Mr. Benton is notorious for reading aloud to
his more intimate friends, his published speeches
from the Globe, and for pointing out what he
considers the admirable points in the thought,
argument, and expression. But he calls his fi
nest flights of fancy “plunges,” and when he
comes to them, lie commonly cries out, “Ah;
Sir, there’s a noble plunge!” ’
Washington, Monday Evening, >
December 28, 1840. $
Intelligence of the death of the Hon. Fe
lix Grundy, Senator in Congress from Ten
nessee, was received by the delegation from
that State to-day,but at so late an hour, that
the melancholy event was not announced
in the Senate. That mournful duty will
devolve upon his colleague, Mr. Anderson,
to morrow, and the same painfu 1 task will
he performed by one of the administration
representatives of the State, in the House.
He died at Nashville, on Saturday the 19th
inst. at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. In con
sequence of this occurrence, both Houses
will adjourn to-morrow without transacting
any legislative business.
In the Senate to-day, Mr. Benton made
another move in regard to his already con
demned project, tor raising a revenue by
taxing Bank paper, and other medium of
circulation. He asked to have it printed
as an amendment to be offered hereafter, and
gave notice that he would offer it by way
of amendment to the first Revenue Bill, that
should come to the Senate from the House.
Such a proposition, I venture to say, was
never made in any legislative body profes
sed to be governed by fixed rules ; to ask to
have printed an amendment to something not
yet before the body in any shape whatever !
‘Phis move meets with as little favo. as did
his project itself, the other day; and he
was obliged to withdraw this, as he had be
fore been compelled to ask leave to with
draw that.
An important memoriabwas presented by
Mr. Davies cf Mass., from citizens of New
buryport, calling the attention of Congress
to the unequal operation of the existing
conventional arrangements, in regard to the
trade between the ports of the United States
and those of the American colonies of Great
Britain. It appears, that while all the
ports of our Union are open to British ves
sels, only a few selected ports oftheßritish
colonies are open to our vessels. The con
sequence is, that the conventional agree
ment operates most advantageously to Brit
ish navigators, and most injuriously to our
commerce. The memorial asks, that when
the present arrangements expire, by their j
own limitation, they may not be renewed, j
Mr. Webster took occasion to remark, j
that this subject demanded the earnest con
sideration of Congress ; he believed on ex
amination, that many of our conventional
arrangements with foreign nations, based on
what is called a system of reciprocity, would
be found to effect anything but true recipro
city ; and that the disadvantage was alien
the side of our commerce.
Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Mer
rick, and Mr. King all concurred in this
view, that it was most important, this sub
ject should be fully considered ; and in
the course of the discussion, many facts
were stated illustrating the ground of com
plaint urged by the memorialists, and show
ing that the system upon which we have
been acting for so many years, has not been
met in a corresponding spirit by other na- i
tions, and has resulted in throwing the car
rying trade into the hands of foreigners,
while formerly it was in the hands of our
own citizens. It was put in charge of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Numerous petitions worse presented to j
both Houses of Congress to-day, in favor ;
of the passage of a uniform Bankrupt j
Law. The Senate disposed of a number of j
private bills.
The House commenced business by ta
king .up the Bills from the Senate and re
ferring them to the appropriate Committees.
The subject of the. Pre-emption Bill
came up again as the unfinished business
of last Thursday, and the question being on
sending instructions to the Committee on
Public Lands, to report a Bill for distrib
uting the proceeds of the public lands in
an equitable ratio among the States, for the
purpose of education, internal improve
ment, and other purposes, as the States re
ceiving their quota might deem wise and
proper. A successful motion was made to
postpone the w hole subject to Wednesday
week. These instructions were moved as
an amendment to other instructions offered
by Mr. Reynolds, calling on the Commit
tee for a a bill to establish a permanent
prospective pre-emption system.
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole, on the Navy Pension Bill, and
after some discussion, the Bill was passed
with an amendment repealing the law of
1837, for regulating the administration of
the Navy Pension Fund.
No other business of public interest was
transacted in either House.
Washington, Tuesday Evening, )
December 29th, 1840. $
There was no legislative business tran
sacted in the Senate to-day. Immediately
after the journal was read, Mr. Anderson,
of Tenn., rose, and in a very solemn and
affecting manner announced the death of
his late colleague, Mr. Grundy. After a
brief but interesting sketch of his life, and
a warm eulogium on his public and private
character, and services to his State and his
country, he offered the customary resolu
tions for going into mourning.
Mr. Benton seconded the resolutions, and
added some remarks ofhis own, but dis
figured so completely by his characteristic
egotism and bad taste, as to be grating
to the ears of Mr. Grundy’s best friends.
The resolutions were unanimously con
curred in, and immediately, as an addi
tional mark of respect for the memory of the
deceased, the Senate adjourned.
In the House of Representatives, a mo
tion was made immediately after the jour
nal was read, for reconsidering the vote by
which the House adopted an amendment to
the Navy Pension Bill, repealing the act of
1637 for the equitable administration of the
Navy Pension Fund.
This led to some discussion, which was
interrupted by the appearance of the Sec
retary of the Senate at the bar, with a mes
sage announcing the death of Mr. Grundy,
and communicating the orders taken by the
Senate thereon.
Mr. Brown, of Tennessee, immediately
rose, and delivered a very fervent eulogy
on the character and services of the de
ceased Senator ; and on his motion the res
olutions of the Senate were concurred in,
and the House adjourned.
I have felt great reluctance in touching
the subject of Cabinet appointments, and as
your readers are aware, have forborn to do
so, until the names of certain gentlemen had
already become notorious in all circles here,
in connection with certain places. lam of
opinion, that none of these appointments are
fired, except that of Mr. Webster to the
Department ofState, and Mr. Crittenden to
the postof Attorney General. Itis not ccr
tain that Mr. Ewing will go into the Post
Office Department.
By the bye, many of our public writers,
in speaking of the Cabinet, appear to con
sider the Post Office department as rather a
subordinate post. This is a great mistake.
In point of influence and patronage, it is
beyond all others; and in point of import
ance in the administration of government,
inferior only to the Treasury Department..
No man ought to be placed at the head,
whodocs not possess in a high degree, tact,
address, consummate knowledge of society
and politics. The Post Master General
should not only be a clear sound-headed,
right-hearted, and well informed states
man, hut one who, like Cassius, can read
quite through the hearts and minds
of men. He has ten thousand contractors
and agents, and other persons on business
with him throughout the year whose minds
are excited by the love of gain : skilled iu
all arts of wheedling, and who will over
reach, dupe and overthrow in a thousand
ways, unless he can meet them with com
manding abilities, and thorough skill in
mankind and in their ways. It is general
ly understood that the Departments of the
Navy, the War, and the Treasury, will
not befitted up until General Harrison ar
rives at Washington, which will he in the
course of a few weeks, perhaps about the
16th of January. Yet there is no impro
priety in giving expression to the general
sentiment which prevails here, that Mr.
Preston ought to he somewhere in the ad
ministration, near and high. Mr. Bell is
also spoken of in the strongest terms, for a |
Cabinet appointment. The Treasury will
probably go to Mr. Sargent of Pennsylva
nia.

The Legislature.
The Harrison party have effectually 1
commenced the work of reform they had
promised.with the Legislature just adjourn
ed. All that could be done, towards re
deeming the State from the consequences
of the ruinous policy of the party recently,
ousted from power, and restoring her cred
it, they have done. They have had great
disadvantages to labor under in the com
mencement of their Herculean task, an
empty treasury, a large State debt, and a
depreciated credit —above all, the deficient
crop of the past year has cramped the peo
ple in their means, beyond previous pre
cedent, and rendered them less able to se
cond the efforts of their servants to redeem:
the State from embarrassment.
One of the most important financial mea
sures of the past Legislature has been the;
Resumption Bill. The effect of this mea-i
sure will be to restore to us a sound circu-j
lating medium, and to place our currency
on a par with that of our sister States. —
Though, from the power the Banks have,-
of contracting and expending the currency
of the country at their pleasure, and from
their now being obliged to use their power
of contraction in self-defence, some tem
porary distress may be felt, it will not
continue. Things will return to the old
channel and Bunk bills will truly repre
sent money.
The Central Bank act of 1839 is re
pealed. Wehavc always warred against
this act and the policy that dictated it. —-
We think that money-lending, is not one of
the legitimate purposes of Government,
and doubt the honesty of such a course,
when the State is itself in debt. The peo
ple should support the Government, and
were the GovernnKiit out of debt and with
a surplus revenue, we think that such sur
plus should be applied to the benefit of the
whole community rather than be placed
in the pockets of two or three favored indi-
viduals in each county. The effect of the
abandonment of this policy upon the notes
of Bank is already seen in the decrease of
the discount upon them.
The State Rail Road which had its ori
gin during the Rail Road mania some three
or four years since, the Legislature has
decided to continue. It was better of
course that it should be carried on than that
the work already dono and money expen
ded should he lost. But we hope no more
Rail Road epidemics will take place in
our time.
0$- The bill providing for a quarran- j
tine upon the vessels of the State of Maine,
has probably been vetoed by the Governor.
—Y\ e arc anxious to know the reasons of
that officer for refusing his sanction to this

professed such a holy horror at all interfe
rence with Southern institutions would bo
among the first to resent such interference,
and eager to second the only means left us
to obtain justice in our controversy with
Maine.
Patent Poetry.
He have received the following note
written in female hand. We suspect it
was written by some male animal. How
ever, we will take it for granted that the
writer was a lady.
M.;. Editor, — I liked your Carrier’s ad
dress very much—please publish some
more poetrv from the same machine.
MARY.
To the Editor of the News <$- Gazette.
Certainly, we will do any thing to oblige !
a lady, especially one bearing so pretty a j
name as “Mary.” We have no finished
piece from the Poetry Mill, but we give
below some scraps which were sent on to
us as specimens of what the machine could
do. Here isan invocation, sentimental, &c.
ala mode Tom Moore :
When the sun has sunk to rest
And the bird has sought her nest,
When the night wind gently flows,
Kissing fragrance from the rose
(Jim, you rascal, cut away
Or we shan’t get through to-day,')
When the crescent moon on high
’Mid the star emblazoned sky,
Brightens all the dome above,
Wil’t thou meet me then, love.
Where the fountain gushing free,
By the shady old oak tree,
Babbling gaily, onward shoots ;
Circling ’round his mossy roots
Where the streamlet has its birth,
Wand’ring forth in light and mirth,
Where the verdure fresher grows,
And the fiow’ret brighter glows
Where the vine its bower has wove
Meet me there, will you love 1
Says she “Don't care if I do, love.”
Barring the directions of the Miller to
his boy in the first verse, and the last ex
uberant line of the second, (which probably
dropped into the mill accidentally) we think
this is fully equal to many of the fashiona
ble songs, which are generally, like it,
sound signifying nothing.
Here is something on the Don Juan di
abolical order:
I like a row when I’m not engaged in’t.
As Romans loved the fights of gladiator
j like fair weather and the glorious glint
Os morning upon dew drops; I’m a hater,
Though of early rising—l like too, mint
Juleps and wine with a good compotator;
Chickens well cooked & ladies not affected,
Are things by no means to be neglected.
•Well, now we will give the machine’s
chief-d'auvre, part of a Florida battle song,
premising, lest the word absquattle should
puzzle our correspondent, that it is merely
‘■the familiar verb absquatulate with its cau
dal extremity amputated, a sort of poetic
license:
On, on to the battle
Where the sabre’s are glancing
And the ponies are prancing
And musket shots rattle,
Like deer through the hammick.
In a deuce of a panic
Our red foes absquattle,
Their tribes from the ocean to lar Arkansaw,
cjhaii quake when they hear ol the Seminole war.
,’ t “O Cricky ! an’t that spirit stirring” as
the loafer said of the toddy stick.
That will do to show what the machine
is capable of. Any one, who wishes to

labor saving invention, we reier to tiie

There is a report in town that Gen. Arm
stead is authorized to make a peace with
the Indians, allowing them possession ot all
the country South of Musquito, but we
would not believe a thing so discreditable
i to Government, though wo had it from the
highest authority in Florida.
With the Seminoles there can he no
peace. They must be either removed or
exterminated. There is too much “blood
on the path'’ now, for any one to admit that
it was only “aman snagged his foot.” No
: treaty could stand six months without being
j broken by the whites, if not by the Indians.
We believe there is no impossibility in
