Senator’AIoore of Alabama in his laid Sensible
Address to the people of that State, speaks thus of
“ expunging” the Resolution censoring the Presi
dent. i- ■■■lip ■ '' •!• . <ll-
I shall have Used my best efforts to expunge.the
resolution from the Journals when I shall endeav
or to destroy iu effect on the Journals. Taking
thb instructions in this sense, I feel no hesitation
in obeying them. If, however, they were intend
ed to go further, and are to be Wderstood literally,
os conveying instructions to me to destroy, alter,
falsify, or suppress the record of any part of our
proceedings.-then I consider myself bound by no
ouch instructions. It would be' io less than an
order from the General Assembly to -violate that
pfovision in the constitution which requires ” Ibat-
eaclt House shall keep'* Journal-of its proceed
ings.” What is a journal bnt a complete record
of all the acts and doings of that body 7 • Can this
record hi altered, falsified or suppressed, Without
violating tlie above provision of the Constitution-?
If-we.can expunge or erase a pint of tlie jour
nal, can we not suppress or destroy tho whole and
thus prostrate the responsibility oftho Seriate to
the people 7 - We can repeal any act or resolution
which stands on. the.jeurnals.-btit wo .cannot, by
erasure or expunging, so fiir falsify the Journals
as to make them say no such riot or resolution ev
er existed. No such attempt has over keen made
since tho commencement of the Government; and
whenever it shall be consummated tho above
provision oftho constitution will not only have
been flagrantly violated, hut tho sacred respoflsi-
bility of the representative to his constituents wifi
be totally destroyed, by destroying.tlio authentici
ty of the only record of bis proceedings. I will
not assumo that such was the’object oftho Goners
al Assembly; nn the contrary, I shall tako it for
granted thnt their object was to destroy tlio effect
of tho vote of censure against the President, by an
other resolution reprehending that .vote; anuthii
object I shall use my best exertions to entry into
efiect. To go further, would notqhly bo. a viola
tion of the oath I have taken to defend the constitu
tion, but would, in my estimation, be exceeding
tlie just wishes and expectations of tho people.—
In tlio course I have prescribed to.mykoK, fcfeol
satisfied that-1 shall sustain their wishes more ful
ly, than by lending myself to aft'undignified and
vindictive proceeding, wbicli shall not only violate
tlto constitution but degrade tlie Senate. j
Oftho modern doctrine of instructing Scnltors
to resign, he holds the.fpjlo.wms language, which
dcsorves to be woll noticed.--- j
But, fellow-citizens, as I am a sincere advo|ato
of tho great, republican doctrino of instruction, 1
feet myself called upon to rescue this doctrine from
any imputation tiiat the Legislature can instruct a
Senator to resign liis _seat, and that such instruc
tions are obligatory. It was reserved for the Le
gislature of Alabama to assume, for the first tune
this new and most extraordinary position. By
tlie Constitution, a Senator is olected forsix years.
Can any oue contend that this tonuro of service,
fixed, by the constitution, can booltcred at tlto
mere pleasure, and bo mado subject to the mcro
will of tho Legislature 7 If this was the intention
of that instrument, why was it not deolared that
Senators shall Isold their office during tho will of
the Legislature 7
Suppose that nn election of a Sonotor takes;
place at one session of the I>gislatnrb, and aft in-*
dividual is elected to that office on account of cor-
taiu political opiniofte in coincidence with a major
ity of its members. ;At tho next election by tho
people, a Legislature of.entirnly a different politi
cal cnmploxion is elected; can tho Legislature, s<>
elected, mstruct the Senator to resign because of
Ills opinions.., Certainly riot. They can instruct
itiu.-to vote on a particular measure in a pnrtjeu-
Inr way, ami to advocate a particular fine of policy.
And iftheSo instructions nre sustained by the will
of tho people, the Senator should, either obey tlie
instructions or resign-his seat. Toinstrucrhim to
resign, is nn admission that they have no tight,
Uy instructions, to control liis senatorial course in
to an acquiescence) with the will of the ptfoplo.—

“ JJcar Sir :—On.the 1st inst., I returned from
Texas. I found the country surpassing my ut
most expectations, In fact, 1 nover saw such land
in any other part of tho continent. The cotton
crop is produced in greater profusion on the best
lands of Texas (nnd most of them nre good) than
in nny part of the United States. ' I was informed
by highly respectable gcntlemon, that it was not
uncommon, on the best Inntle, wltieh Imd been
cultivated two or three years, to obtain 3000 lbs.
of Seed Cotton. Instead of ono-fqurth it will
yield about one-third ginned Colton, worth two
cents more in New Orleans than the. Mississippi
Colton; and can lie taken from the Brazos in ves
sels to New Orleans for 50 cents per hundred.—
Most of tho rivers in Texas nre uuvigable. A

By turning to another column,-our readefjf.will
find a letter from the President, in’ whiqli he de
clares himself in favor of tho Baltimore Conven
tion. This dorling scheme of Mr. Van Bitten 1
will no doubt be regarded horenfter in a.more fn-
-orablo light, as thousands will now be found its
open advocates, who. wore heretofore waiting -far
orders or halting and hesitating between two opin
ions. Few will be fbund hardy cnougli ip future
to utter a whisper against that assemblage of na
tional democrats, whatover may" havo been tlicir
views of its propriety heretofore. Tlto oraole has
spoken; he who was born to command has sent
forth liis edict, and tho people must now right or;
wrong nominate Mr. Van Buron through their del
egates, and confirm that nomination at lire .Ballot
Box on pain of tl)o high displeasure of the oxeto-
tive. Who under such circumstqncee will venture
to disobey 7 Who will dare incur the displeasure
of Andrew Jackson for the paltry privilege; of vo-
ting-or acting as conscience may dictato 7 Who
hud not rather surrendor the rights of freemen in
this matter, than rush upnnjthe bosses of his buck
ler and run the hazzard of perishing in tho en
counter. Poll I It is folly to think of ft,:. ^
The present Chief Magistrate has always been
an open and decided ndvocato of such an alteration-
iu tho cousiituu'on us would place tbo election ol'
the president directly in lire hands of tho people,
without oven the. intervention of electors. Tho
propriety of such u change iu that instrument, ho
llas urged with a zeal which led us to the conclu
sion, tliut Ire was ut least in earnest. - Read his
letter, and ask yourselves whether the cortrso he ’
recommends! is not likely to removo the .election
still turlhur oil front the people, than-it now is?
Whether ho does not hold the opinion, and urge
i; upou liis couutrynreu, that the’ choice mado at
Bnltiiuore is to Ire final and couclusivo, and .that to
impeach that chdieo in advance or resist ilia fu
ture, is to "be regarded us a departure from tho pathr
of political duty and obedience i This is lire plain
reading ns fur us wc cau understand it: Delegated
must be-sent to the convention, these-delegates are
to select Martin Van Buron, and thnt selection n
neither tobo impeached or resisted. Wc lut'd like
to have forgotten the fact, that according to .the-
Presidents notion, those gentlemen nrc to bo "fresh”
from lire popple.’ Are not tho electors thin nro
chosen according to the constitution somewhat
“fresh" themselves, and will they bo more apt to
sour nnd taint at home; than.those who are to be
sent on this foreign mission 7 Such may he the
fact, but for tire life of us wo can see no good rea
son why a man a thousand miles off will be iftoro
apt toact honestly, than-one in our own state cap-
Uol, casting his vote for the first officer of flic bean-
