STATE BIGHTS AND REFORM. Wo see by Urn New-York papers, that The Won. Mr. Barnaiw, a member of Congress from j|au State, and one -of the eldest from any Stale, »su been lecturing on polititlcal ethics at the •Broadway Tabernacle. It is a noble theme, and ■n fitting time to enlargo npon it—the country re quires to bo brought back to the hubila of thought •in vogue, in ila young and virtuous days. There are other members of Congress, who should join Mt, Barnard in this holy crusade a- gainst the sweeping demoralization let in during the Jackson saturnalia—members, who by their exalted abilities, high cdlivntioa and the perfect •puatyof their private lives, would command tlie aspect of-overy audience. Snch are Ogdkn norr*riN,-of New-York; John Qwsct Adams, •f Mum.; Mr. Speaker (Hunter, of Vir.? Mr. Nssbit, of Georgia; Mr. Biddle, of Penn.; • Mr. Preston, *if Snuth-Caralina, and Mr. Wise, of Virginia. There are doubtless many other bright names to swell the list, but even there might preach a crusade, compared with which <hat of Peter tlie Hermit would dwindle into in- •significance. Wo are glad to see this subject at tracting attention in so many quarters, ondbe-J ingfaronght before the public in so many shapes ( nhertis however, one subject upon which mei- tlier the leoturers nlludcd tu. nor the books pub- dished upon political ethics, have touched nsyvt. \We allude to the all ahsorkiwg character of **»ur Tnte Presidental contests. No mm, whose poli- ttiod aspirations are at all high in these days, ' ipwemstn ho content with any tiling lex* Ahan the ^Presidency. Snch men seem tu consider (liat ■every -otiier chance uf immntt&Uly is lost nod swallowed up in that great otlree—that no other names but those of our Presidents will ever ap pear upon the roll of fame. .i’jt is true that the heads of aiirmchC worthies are hawked about by all the map sellers in the States—swung to a pole, and occasionally, even dignified to the rank of plaster, in which case they are entitled to a ride on a plunk balanced upon tlie head of tome poor peripatetic Italian, and the greataipostle of*demoerncy, Mr. Jrrrrn- soft, hoi pushed bis immortality of this kind to ■ > bronze, and now figures away iutbe rotunda of tho Cnpitnl, with a pile of books at bis heels, teoelmig to hi* coat toil. This seems to he the esiiRt^f the immortal honors lims far, separated from aR personal achievements—this seems the extent to which all parties accord honor to the of fice opart from the man. lathis a sufficient stoke in the great game, to hazard the stability of our institutions for t jlre these poor distinctions sufficient to induce our r '^Kigh'.gnd dignified Senators to miter the daxper- ate game and looxa sight of all other roads to emi nence 1 It would seem so, and yet it is a poor prhto stripped of the honours which the individ ual himself curries into the chair, uud which lie Avon Id hnyohad as well without this (no consid ered) crowning gkiry. How many of these eight worthies already oc- ■ copying lim niches, will attain prouder places iu history than John Jay, John Marshall, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, 1 Edmund Randolph, Alexander Hamilton, and Pa trick Henry to say nothing of tlie m ilitary char acters of our past history. ^Thesu men pursued tlie even tenor of their way without thut frantic aud dusperato grasping ' toiler the one office, and yet they attained to Isme, . uliettgh one of them was a printer and another a ;• *hoe maker. These matters have not been sufficiently ilected sjpon—they should he held up before tho public -until It is convinced that the mere office «an confer no honor. What could it have added •to old Bell Franklin, thut lie has uothnd without ill Whitt could Uadd to Henry Clay 1 Nothing, absolutely nothing. We would rather he the an* alior of one of his great intellectual efforts,’ than Juivo followed iu tho illustrious footsteps by half. Yet, if-our politicians are determined that tins kki\U be -the only honour worth seeking after, the office must be cut dnwii, ii"U'sall, also our insti- uudfcrociMi. .lrii,sl» lor thi'o»k onx.r or- ncx. •• 9r lowered; and-a* scon as thn office of'Prcridcnt is razeed, tha dunuiratiz'mg struggle fur the great prize willtoaso, hpcnnso it will no longerappear tho splendid hnnble it now does. This is the true doctrine of State Right*, be cause it brings hack the true-digtiity of the sover eign States, which were so nearly swallowed ep by tho centralizing influence of Gen. Jackson’s interpTv-totmu of the Constitution and his practi cal illustration of its genius. We do not intro duce this subject merely to have a fling at thn dead Lion, but-because-it is a fit time to discuss this all absorbing theuin, nnd because we verily believe-that the theory nnd genius ofour Govern ment will lawn-been gradually and impercepta- Uly revokttionutod unless it-can now he brought back to its primitive simplicity, purity nnd safety. This single change will also carry with it oth ers of incalculable importance—It will strike down atone blow tho whole spoils system: be cause, when tlie Senate is once recognized inre- alily us a part of the appointing, ns well as re moving power, the President can no longer re move honest men, to appoint mere traders in politics; it will annihilate the centralizing power by which the sovereignty and dignity oftho States have become absorbed in the whirlpool of Execu tive patronage. But, U is not our intention to chi more than merely glance nt these collateral brunches ofihe subjects our present buxine** is with tho trim limits of the President’s power on the one hand, and the Representatives of the States on tho ether. Wn contend that the Senator is the morn digni fied office of tlie two, or will be as soon ns the Gov ernment is brought back in practice, to its trim theory. The Senator is elected forsix years, while the President is elected for only four. In lieu of a Sennte for life, only a portion go ont of office periodically, so that it is the only perpetual body politic iu our country; showing clearly .that It was intended to be conservative in nil its features. This is more apparent, when we look both at the maimer of appointment, and tho manner of going out of office. In both aspects, it is ax far ax pos.-i- hie removed from the people. Tho first being performed by the State Legislatures, am! the last happening at snch broken intervals as always to put it beyond the reach ofpopular tumults, and no State electing more than one at a Dine. Tim next four years will decide whether we are to revert back to the true theory ofour Govern tnent, nnd whether the only representatives ofthe Suites at the gwoat centre, arc tu resume their true position, or not. For ourselves (and we think we may speak for Georgia) we go for the elevation of the Senatorial dignity, aud for the preservation of its conservative features. This idea of associate power betweeu the Pres idential and Senatorial office was doubtless token from the history of the Consulates, which prut ages nnd other countries furnish; and if so, let us take warning hy the elevation of the one, and the corresponding degradation of tlie cither. Napo leon made the Contain to tlie stepping stone to the imperial dignity, and it was not until his as sociates in office were entirety overlived, that ho could grasp the sceptre at all. All history teaches the some lesson, aud onr own not ex. ceptpd. Present the Senate, ami the Senate trill present vs; hut, tel it he merged hy direct strides of power, or by mere nssuetnde, or by wrong readings ofthe Constitution, and the landmarks ofthe States are gone—the conservative feature of the general wliele is gone, ail check upon the part of the States it removal from the only point tchin it can be available. What availed) it to rave of Stole Rights every year In our State legislatures 1 Hove not each of these very Legislatures seni two men to die great centre to perform ihis very office there. Let diese two representatives then be upheld in their true power and dignity, as as* sociates of dm President—as a part of dm ap pointing and removing power, and as a check in the iastrcsnnnpnn his rani-administration. A great deni has been said of lute days about the veto ofthe President, and it was doubtless intended as one ofthe conservative features of the government, but the true veto potter and that upon irhich the small Stutes and Southern States should rely, lies in the Senate of the United Slates # Here is the check which the framers of the Constitution intended should operate against un principled majorities—und overwhelming num- bera—nnd continuations of sectional interest*. This is die true reason why little Delaware hus as many Senators as New-York. Thu whole scheme of the Senate of the United States, was a State Rights institution, aud toil die people of the Smith especially must now turn their atten tion, while they scout to the winds dm puerile iiiovatinn of resting their safety upon dm veto of tho President. We shall probably revert to this and kindred subjects between this and the fuurdi of March. CONGRESS. We havo Washington papers to Wednesday morning, Ulh lost.

Resumption ok Specie Payment*.—The Phil adelphia U.S. Gazette ofthe 6th inst. hns the fol lowing paragraph The latest information we have from the east renders it ulmustceitnin that die means asked to aid the hanks ef Philadelphia to resume, w ill be so far secured as to place it beyond n doubt that oil or before the 15th of January, 1641, the banks will resume specie payments, Tho Philadelphia Inquirers*y*—We lenrn that the Bank Committee returned from New-York yesterday, having left that city nt five o'clock on Srturdny afternoon. Their negotiation was successful, nnd we may therefore re-affirm our belief Unit the long talked of resumption will take placeouthe 15di. Tho New-York Times, any*; Our banks have agreed to loan the Philadel phia batiks ono million of dollars on nine und eighteen months. A committee of three from Philadelphia, in conjunction with a Bostou com mittee have been here for several days, nnd yes terday morning completed dm arrangements Kir the loan. The Boston hunks will increase the loan lo three millions nnd a half, which it is as- netted will he amply «afficienitnenable the Few«- mlrania institutions to fill the requisition of the law in relation to the resumption. The loan is made on Pott Note* hearing six per cent inter est. It amounts, in fact, merely to nu extension of the debt duo hy the Philadelphia hanks tn ours nnd placing it on interest. We nre glad the nf- fiiir is at last concluded, and that another fsir prospect exist*, that before months nil the sound hanks throughout the Uuion, will pay specie, and the unsoun(l,oncs have been put into liqui dation. The New-York Express of Monday, 2 P.M. say*— The negotiation between the Philadelphia and the New-York bank* for the loan of a million of dollnrs was concluded with the utmost prompt ness. The hank* were to furnish tlie amount on the tpruis proposed, and without the slightest hesitation. Indeed the amount divided up wus very small, the Bank ol Commerce toon the Inrgcm portion, viz. one hundred und fifty thou sand; most ofthe others took fifty uud a hundred thousand each—and bad the application been for double the amount, thulsum would have been taken. They nil hndnnd have large balances in Phila delphia, which have accumulated there in the course oflmsiness; these funds have been placed there by the collect.on of merchants notes, on which the hanks have made from 2 to 4 per rent. Now, if the banks resume, they will get these balances nnd those in Baltimore uud further South, without any discount, aud thereby secure a large profit. Tlie N. Y. Courier of Monday says— We Imd Imped that the conclusion «f the ar rangement which we announced on Saturday, would have enabled the Iwnk* of Pennsylvania lo resume specie payment*, before the departure oftho Great Western, ns tlie effect pi minced by this event iu Europe, will .nrolmhiy be greater limn it will be here, but we fear that the obstruc tions to thn communication between the two cities caused hy the heavy fall of snow, may pos sibly prevent this consummation. ’ NEW YORK. Dec. 8. The eeverity of the snow storm whWi has so seriouslv interrupted the coniniunirntinn between this city nnd Philadelphia, is probnhly the only cause why wo nre not able to antiounce that the Philadelphia Banks have actually resumed specie payment*. This is the more to'he regretted on account of the departure to-morrow of the Great Western. We nre however happy to be able to say from infuimution winch ha* reached us, that we entertain no doubt the event referred lo is about immediately to Dike place, and that nv hiiredly a resumption in all the commercial cities which have suspended, will directly follow. A large amount of business' was dona in stock* to-day, nnd Unit there was not moie improvement in prices, is probably attributable to the snow storm, which na* prevented all intercourse with oursister cities.
