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. NEWS ANB SAIETTE. principles arul men. WASHINGTON, GA.

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 measure.

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.
