MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20. It will be seen by reference to the proceedings of Congress that the Venerable Judge White has resigned his seat in the Senate. He has been driven to this step by the instructions of the Leg islature of Tennessee. What little of virtue is left in the public service is fast disappearing be fore the ruffian spirit of modern democracy, and the Unit is not far distant, we fear, when none but bvazun demagogues will hold office. The doctrine of instructions to United States Sena tors, by State Legislatures, is considered by ma ny to be very republican, but for ourselves, we humbly look upon it as the most absurd political dogma of the day, and calculated to weaken and destroy the main conservative principle of our Government, Last year the Legislature of Ten nessee, being whig, instructed the Senators from that State to vote against the Sub-Treasury bill —this year, the same body, its politics having changed, instructs their Senators to vote for that bill! Next year it may be whig again, and then the Senators will be instructed back again ! The doctrine is, that Senators must either obey or re sign. If they obey, they become the party hacks of every Legislature; if they resign they destroy ' the conservative principle of the constitution by changing the terra of their office from six years, to a tenancy at the will of partizan Legislatures. Either result is bad enough. Those who believe in such a doctrine may preach it—not we! Great doings at the Theatre to-night! Miss Wells, Master Welis, Opera, <fec. &c. Go and see for yourself.

Correspondence of the Baltimore American. Washington, January 11, 1840. HOUSE OF BEPHF.SENTATIVKB. PERSONAL MATTERS. The Session this morning, for the first half hour, was interesting and amusing to all who like personal matters. Mr. Botts of Va., after the reading of the journal, asked leave to address the House briefly in reference to a speech reported in the Globe as made by Mr. Smith of Maine. He wished to know of the member from Maine whether in declaring that what he had said of Gen. Jackson was false, he meant to impute any personal mo tives to him. Mr. Smith was unwilling to answer. A pe remptory demand had been made upon him, and before he replied to it, he wished to he informed by the Speaker whether or not he should be per mitted to reply to any remarks made by the gentleman from Virginia. The Speaker said, certainly, to any remarks made in order, and to none made out of order. Mr. Smith then said he had a favor to ask, and that from the gentleman from Maine, (his col league Mr. Clifford) who was entitled to the door. Mr. Clifford said, most certainly he would yield the floor to his colleague, Mr. Smith then said that in declaring the charge, that Gen. Jackson was a tyrant, to be a base slander, he only meant that all history would stamp such a charge as an erroneous opinion. He meant not to impugn the motives ot any member, and certainly intended to bring no charge of falsehood against the gentleman from Virginia. He only intended to say that the opinion ex pressed was an erroneous one, and all history would stamp it so. The Speaker said that if he had understood Mr. Smith’s remarks to have been in any way personal, he should have called him to order. Mr. Smith said that he thought the whole House understood him as he had explained him self. Mr. Butts declared himself satisfied. NEW JERSEY QUESTION, The Speaker then recognised the right of Mr. Clifford to the floor in continuation of his speech. Mr. Clifford yielded a moment to Mr. Duncan of Ohio, who stated to the House that since he had made the last instalment of his speech, he had received a paper from the galleries. It bad turned some of his remarks into rhyme, and he rose merely to say that he should attach the poetry to his speech and set it to music. The Speaker here called Mr. Duncan to order. Mr. D. said he had a right to the floor, as it had been yielded to him by the member from Maine. Several members demanded that Mr. Duncan have leave to proceed. Mr. Mitchell of N. Y., moved that as Mr. Duncan had a song in his head which he intend ed to set to music, ’hat the House give him leave to sing it. Mr. Clifford refused to yield the floor any longer, and was about to commence his speech without allowing the Clerk to read all of the statement prepared by him (only a part of it Was read last night) when Mr. Peck demanded that it all be read. The House had not heard all the annotations nor the title page. Mr. Clifford said that the statement of the Clerk thus far had been read, not as a peremptory order of the House, but as a privilege to him. Some of the members demurred, and the state ment was read, and after finishing his remarks, he continued and concluded his speech. Mr. C was sjieaking until near the hour of closing this package, and has had (ho floor during the day and since the morning hour, and a part of yes terday. Mr. C’ifford concluded soon after three o'clock, and was followed by Mr. Cooper, of Georgia, who, after addressing the House very briefly, gave way to a motion to adjourn. UNITER STATES SENATE. The Senate did not sit to-day, having adjourn ed last evening, after the Executive session, over to Monday. January 13. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Pickens, of 8. C., immediately upon the reading of the Journal of Saturday’s proceedings rose and asked leave to address the House upon a matter of some interest to himself. He went on to say that in a paper of the city he had seen an article relating to a public printer—(meaning the Madisonian) —which article said that Duff Green had had counsel with the Calhoun Nullifiers, up on the subject of electing a public printer. Mr. Pickens said, that wherever charges were made against himself personally he received them in differently, and treated them with that contempt and scorn which they merited. He regarded them but us the effusions of a corrupt and aban doned man. Mr. Pickens then read the article in the Madi sonian, and said that if it was designed to charge him, or those acting with him, with holding any counsel with Duff Green in regard to the office of public printer, or intended to make such an ac cusation against his friends, it was false. For one, said Mr. Pickens, I have held and would hold with Mr. Green no consultation upon this subject. I say this, not less in reference to myself than to the little band of Nullifiers—the only men confidentially connected with me. I did receive, at the commencement of the session, a note from Mr. Green stating that he should be a candidate for printer to the House. I did not even answer that note, nor have I had any com munication with him upon the subject. Mr. P. further said that he repudiated the charge made against him, and threw it back with scorn and contempt. From the moment the Harrisburg nomination was made, my mind was made up as to the course I should pursue. [Mr. P. was here called to order by some for one allu ding, I presume, to the Harrisburg nomination.] He then thanked the House for the indulgence extended to him and resumed his seat. COMMITTEE OF CLAIMS. Mr. Russell, of N. Y. chairman of the commit tee of Claims, (Mr. Dawson of Georgia having resigned in favor of him) —moved the House to allow the Committe to appoint a Clerk—the du ties being very arduous. The House would not suspend the Rules to allow the resolution to be offered. NEW JERSEY QUESTION. The Speaker announced the orders of the day; and Mr. Cooper, of Georgia, as entitled to the floor. Mr. Cooper spoke but briefly, and in re ference to some of the cases which had been ex amined. After some remarks from Mr. Leet and Mr. Ramsay, both of Pennsylvania, the Previous Question was put, and the whole matter referred to the Committee on Elections, 176 to 16. Mr. Ramsay then made an effort to refer a pe tition from Mr. Ingersoll to the Committee on Elections, but withdrew it at the request of Mr. Davis, of Indiana. PETITIONS. After various unsuccessful attempts to suspend the rules for other matters, the majority agreed to receive petitions. The States were called, beginning with Maine and going to Massachusetts. Mr. Lincoln pre sented several memorials from Massachusetts, ask ing for the Abolition ofSlavery in the District of Columbia. A debate of much interest is now pending upon tue motion to receive. UNITER STATES SENATE. RESIGNATION OF JURGE WHITE. Mr. White, of Tenn. soon after the session had commenced, presented certain resolutions adopted some time since by the Legislature of Tennessee, in reference to various public mat ters before Congress. Mr. White said that the present being a pe culiar occasion with him, and wishing espe cially not to be misunderstood in what he had to say in answer to the resolutions of his State, he had prepared, contrary to his practice, notes which, with the permission of the Senate, he would read. In presenting the resolutions which had just been read by the Clerk, Mr. W. said that he bad but discharged a duty which was required of him Before, he sat down he should state the conclusion he had come (o. He had an answer to the several resolutions adopted by the Legislature, and an answer which he in tended to transmit to those who have adopted the resolutions. I cannot and shall not, said Mr. White, obey the instructions contained in some of the resolutions. But I will consider them. First— I am instructed to vote against a charter for a National Bank. That instruction I might obey, for it conforms to my practice here in the Senate. lam instructed also to vote for the Sub-Trea sury Bill. I cannot comply with this instruc tion, because I consider the public money will be much more safe in the hands as well selected Banks than in the bands of individuals. Sup pose, said Mr. W., that any one of your honora ble body had SIOO,OOO, would you deposite it in your own house or in a well saiected bank ! And are we to take less care of the public money than of our own private funds 1 I cannot obey the instructions, because all ex perience teaches us that large sums of money de posited in individuals’ hands are less safe than in well regulated institutions. It is said, Mr. White remarked,that banks are not responsible. Are they any less so than individuals I Banks cannot discount with the public money, but agents may and have. By using well regulated Banks we have the advantage of at least two-f’ld security. I, therefore, said Mr. White, conclude that the public money would be less secure in the hands of agents than of Bank . I conclude also, that for this reason, if for no other, that the Sub-Trea . sury Bill ought not to pass. But there are other reasons, said Mr. White, for voting against this bill. Among them would be the practice of the Government of turning specie into Bank notes. The practice under the Sub-Treasnjy Bill would be for four years at least to come—indeed for all time—to turn the Bank notes into specie, and then to hoard the specie so collected. The whole of it would be in the pos sessien of the Government officers and every government officer who received his one hundred dollars might do as he could, turn it into paper, receiving SIOB for SIOO. 'uch was the practice of many of the officers of Government now, and such very generally would be the practice under the Sub-Treasury Bill. The effect of this would he to drain the channels of trade of specie, and to keep it hoardad. Sir, said Judge W. you might as well give the money to the Executive as to those wholly under his control. The President has but to will to be obeyed. Lastly, in considering his objections to the Sub- Treasury Bill, Mr. White said that the Sub-Trea sury Bill was nothing but a Government Bank of the most odious character. It is a Bank at tached to the Treasury, and bottomed upon the funds of the Genera' Government. Its effect would be to violate the principles of Gen. Jack son, that the public money ought no more to be locked up than the arras of the Government. Mr. White said that he knew that all who de nounced this bill would be denounced as a Bank bought Federalist. In all these views, said he, I may be in error, but I cannot and will not obey the instructions of the Legislature in the second resolution. Mr. White then considered the other Resolu tions in reference to the Judiciary Committee, touching the freedom, of elections—(before the last Congress.) Mr. W. gave his reasons in full for opposing them. He gave Gen. Jackson and Thomas Jef ferson as his authority, and said that those who condemned him, condemned them. He also quo ted from his colleague, Mr. Grundy, when he said that those who interfered in elections were think ing of their salaries and their bread, and were therefore unfit advisers of the people, Mr. White then gave his reasons for voting as ho had, in reference to the Public Domain and other matters. He replied with much spirit to the strong condemnations of the Van Buren members of the Legislature, and concluded by taking leave of the Senate, and wishing all an affectionate farewell, and all possible prosperity. Mr. Grundy briefly said that he should obey all the instructions, and vote for the Sub-Treasury Bill, which, at the last session, contrary to his judgment, ho was then compelled to oppose. SUB-TREASURY BILL. Mr. Wrightjsaid that considering the impor tance of the unfinished business, he should not press the consideration of the Sub-Treasury Bill at this moment—but he should do so at an early day—as early us to-morrow morning. BOARD OF CLAIMS. Mr. Hubbard moved the postponement of the bill establishing a Board of Claims, to Thursday next—ordered. Several reports were made from the Standing Committees, and several messages received from the Executive and the Executive Departments. RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Calhoun offered a Resolution in reference to the Southern slaves wrecked on the Bahamas and elsewhere. It called upon the President of the United States to communicate all the infor mation in his possession in regard to the suuject, and all the correspondence between the State De partment and the Government of Great Britain. Mr. Preston, of 8. C. also offered a resolution, instructing the Committee of Finance to bring in a Bill for reducing the duties or abolishing them upon worked marble, introduced into the United States, when worked by American hands. The resolution lies one day. The Committee of Finance, through Mr. Wright, the Chairman of the Committee made two reports—the one from which the Committee asked to he discharged in reference to the sus pension of specie payments—the other in refer ence to commercial intercourse between the Uni ted Stales. Two thousand extra copies of the former were ordered to be printed, and two thou sand five hundred copies of the latter. ARMED OCCUPATION OF FLORIDA. This bill came up as the order of the day, and Mr. Benton again addressed the Senate at length, and in examination of the objections made by those opposed to the bill. From the National Intelligencer. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. January 14. The Hon. Osmyn Baker, member elect from the State of Massachusetts, appeared, was quali fied, and took his scat. Mr. W. Thompson rose and said that, for the first time since he had had the honor of a seat in this House, he was about to ask for a suspension . of the rule, to enable him to offer a resolution heretofore submitted by his friend from Virginia, (Mr. Wise,) who was now detained from the House by indisposition. The resolution was in exact conformity to the action of the House yes terday, upon the subject of abolition; and. by its adoption, the House would save itself infinite time and unpleasantness. The resolution, which was read for informa tion, is in the following words: Resolved, That upon the presentation of any memorial or petition, praying for the abolition of slavery or the slave trade in any District, Terri tory, or State of the Union, and upon the prosen tation of any resolution or other paper touching that subject, the reception of such memorial, petition, resolution, or paper shall be considered os objected to, and the question of its reception shall be laid upon the table without debate or further action thereon. Mr. Chinn demanded the yeas and nays, which were ardersd. Mr. C. said that, before the question was ta ken, he would ask that a resolution which ho would send to the Clerk’s table, and which he intended to offer in case of the rejection of the other, might be read for information. The Speaker said it could only be read by leave. The resolution was read as follows: Resolved, That all petitions, memorials, reso lutions, and addresses of every description, touching the abolition of slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia, or in the States or Territo ries, or in any manner relating to the existence of slavery or the slave trade in the United States, be referred, without deaate, to a select committee, with instigations to consider and re port thereon. Mr. Adams, (who is very imperfectly heard by the Reporters on the right of the Chair,) was understood to allude to the fact, that a motion to suspend the rule for the introduction of the same resolution (introduced originally by the gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Wise,) had been twice rejected by the House. And with a view to prevent the motion being again brought up, he moved the indefinite postponement of the motion to suspend. Tba rule applicable to this motion was then read as follows: “ When a question is postponed indefinitely, the same shall not be acted upon again during the session.” The Speaker said it was not in order to make a motion for the indefinite postponement of a motion to suspend the rule. After some debate the Chair announced the decision as follows: yeas 128, nays 27. So two thirds not voting therefor, the rule was not sus pended. An important amendment was made to the Rules and Orders of the House of Representatives to-day, for which the friends of freedom of action by the Representatives of the People are greatly indebted to Mr. Hoffman, of N. Y., and his asso ciates on the select committee upon that subject, who proposed it to the House. It consists in this; that whereas hitherto the Previous Ques tion, when decided in the affirmative, has cutoff all pending motions for amendment as well as all debate, it is hereafter to cut off Debate only, and to bring the House to a direct question on each amendment, in their parliamentary order. The House will tberefoie be no longer subjected, as iheretofore, to the necessity of adopting or re jecting measures of consequence proposed te itlurn without having first had an opportunity to amend, alter, or add to them. IN SKNATE, After the transaction of morning business, the Treasury bill was taken up. When Mr. Ulay, of Ky., after some remarks, moved that tits consideration be postponed until Monday, the .27th inst. which was disagreed to—ayes 16, noes 26. The bill was then taken np, and several amendments, proposed by Mr. Wright, were adopted. An amendment increasing the com pensation of the receiver at N. Y. to four thou sand dollars, was concurred in. An amendment was then offered to increase the salaries of the re ceivers in Philadelphia and New Orleans; bat before the question was taken, the Senate ad ournad. Otrrespondence of the National Intelligencer. Nr.w York, January 11. Letters from Albany, received here, speak of a Whig victory in New York as secure by thousands and thousands.

Gentlemen .- I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt'of your letter from Harrisburg of the 7th instant. However objectionable in the opinions of many of our fellow citizens may be the mode ofaelacl ing a candidate for the two highest offices of the Government by a General- Convention, the pe culiar circwraslanees in which the party opposed to the present Administration were placed, seem < to have left them no alternative to secure that unity of action so necessary, to their success,— 1 The number of States Represented, and the ex alted characters of the Delegates to whom the | delicate task of nominating the candidate was j committed, leaving no room to doubt that their | decision was in accordance with Itie wishes of { the majority of their constituents, I aosept; with gratitude the nomination which, in obediencu to i a resolution of the Convention, you have done- - me, gentlemen, the honor to communicate. i But however highly I may value this evidence of the attachment and confidence of so large a ( portion of my fellow citizens, I must beg you to | believe, gentlemen, that no one is more thorough- I (y convinced than I am, tliat in selecting a re tired and unpretending individual to be their 1 candidate, the Convention were influenced by I circumstances often occurring in popular govern- * meats to set aside the higher claims of other , citizens, although, founded upon the possession | of the most distinguished talents and the per- i fonaancc of the most eminent services to their country, united to every other qpalily necessary 1 to tJso discharge of the duties of Chief Magis- j trate of this great Republic. It may perhaps Ire expected that I should cm- ! brace this occasion to declare the principles upon , whidh the Administration will Ire conducted, if i the efforts of ray friends to place me in. the Bresi- I -dentist Chair should prove successful. But ‘ having, in a letter tuthe Hon. Hammer Denny, and in another to the Hon. Sherrod Williams, ( both of which have been made public, given rny , view* at some length of the character and extent nf the! powers vested, by the Constitution in the j. President, I consider it unnecessary to repeat 1 thesa here. t I deem it, however, gentlemen, proper at this 8 time to renew the assurance heretofore frequently made, that should I be elected to the Presidency, [ I will, under no circumstances, consent to be a ~ candidate for a second term. With the highest consideration, gentlemen, o for yourselves and. those you represent, v I am your fellow citizen, I W. H. HARRISON. To the Hon. John Owen, of North Carolina, ! and others of the Committee. 1 Governor Tyler’s Reply. WitiiLAMsßiTßo, (Va.) Dec. 16, 1839. 1 Gentlemen . The nomination which, as the s organs of the late Harrisburg Convention, you ° have communicated to me, is accepted with a I sensibility greatly augmented by the fact, that <1 whilst it is a result in.no way contemplated by ii me, it was attended by the unanirnons concur- { re nee of that enlightened and patriotic body. 0 To have my name associated with that of the ” eminent Patriot who is put in nomination for the “ fust office, is of itself regarded by me as no ordi- } nsry honor,. His long and faithful services to a the country, at the council-board, and in the field, have won for him a distinguished name in history, and furnish the surest guarantee that should he bo elected by the populai voice to the chief Executive office, his administration of govern mental affairs will Ire just, and prudent, and wise. With the Constitution for his guide, and the good of his country his only aim, I doubt not but that his exertions would be exclusively direct ed to uphold the one, and to advance the other. The friend and supporter of Jefferson, of Madi son, and Monroe, and the immediate descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, can be none other than true to his early Repub lican creed, and the devoted advocate of free principles and of popular rights. I have the honor to be,'gentlemen, Your most ob’t serv’t, JOHN TYLER. John Owen, Esq., and others of the Com mittee. From the Philadelphia Commercial List. The late news from England is looked upon ns faro, able, not only to the interests of the U. 8. Bank, but to commercial and monetary affairs generally. The tide in the foreign exchanges was evidently turning in favor of England, and confidence in American securities was returning. The Message of the Governor has had rather a favorable influence upon stocks. Although far from being an unexceptionable document, it is upon tho whole an able production, much milder in its tone upon tire subject of hanks, than we had been led tio expect. The fearless manner in which the actual condition of our state finan ces and internal improvements has been laid be fore the people—and the sacred regard expressed in favor of keeping the public faith inviolate—as well as the bold recommendation of direct tax ation for the purpose of paying the interest on the State debt, are worthy of all praise, and will tend much to raise the credit of our State stocks in Europe.

Remarks —There : has been but little of interest during the past week, except the'Messages of the- Governors of New- York and Pennsylvania, which > are of a character rather to strengthen, than to weaken the healthy influences of the Money Mar ket. The news from Europe has also been favor able, both that by the England-and the Hibernia. No Specie is now needed abroad. Foreign ex changes are in our favor. There is, however, a stagnation in all business here, and this, always a dull season of the year, is now emphatically a diflT season. Coffee —At this season; unless there it an export demand, the inquiry is wholly for home consump tion;—of course but a moderate business doing.— The sales of the week have been as follows;—80- bags Brazil, 4m 9$ a 10$; 200 do Gov Java, old','- 4m 13$ a 14; 300 do Laguira, 4m M)s » Hj--100 do J Sumatra, 4m lOJ. Colton—Vie have advices from Liverpool to the 11th ult. The demand there for cotton was rather active; middling qualities sustained, but new cot tons rather receue. The advices, however, have no influence on prices here. The supplies in our market arc quite moderate, and very little of fine. Prices were much the same as last week. Sale* of the week as follows: —1430 bags Uplands,9 a 10j; 1400 do New Orleans, 9$ a II*; 150 do Florida, 9$ a 10$; 190 do Mobile, 10$ all. Flour —The England, arrived the former part of the week, and the Hiberian yesterday, from Liv erpool, the latter having sailed the 11th December,, brought more favorable accounts for American! Flour, and consequently the rates here have ad? vanced. Western is selling at sft—very little ex- - porting at present. Ohio, via eanal, continues at sft 75. .Southern continues without any change in •> prices- Columbus, January 15,-UMO. Cotton, —For the last week receipts have -been greater than formerly, from 500 to 1000 bags ar riving daily, the largest proportion of which is sold from wagons at 6 a 7 cts. Thisds a decline from last week’s prices, owing to the reception of unfavorable news from England. The accounts received give rise to an anticipation of a still fur ther decline. Columbia, S.C., January 17, Cotton. —-Very little is doing in this article, tho’ something more than last week. We quote 6 to 8$ cents, extremes—principal sales at 8 cents. Philadelphia, January 10. Cotto.n —Prices -have not varied essentially, and tl»e demand has become rather more active; sales of 250 halos Upland at 11$ to 12$ cts. per lb.; 25 Virginia 11 j cts. There are considerable supplies below in the Delaware. Flour, —The supplies of flour have been moder ate, and the demand limited. The stocks have consequently slightly increased, but they are still very light. The gales for. export amount only to 1,300 bbls. at $3,36$ per bbl. on Broad street, and $3,62$ se the Delaware front of-the city; includ ing some Brandywine at *3,75. Sales (or city con sumption at $3,62 for fair to good brands, extra $5,75. T(-dby sales of 1,290 bbls for export at $3,625. Some holders ask $3,75. There is more inquiry for export, in consequence of one oi-two vessels being up for Liverpool, New Orleans, Jan. 1K Cotton. —Arrived since the 7th instant. of Lou isiana and Mississippi, 8368 bales ; Tennessee and North Alabama, 484; Arkansas, 187; together, 9039 bales. Cleared in the same time i for Liver pool, 9845 bales; Havre, 4369; Trieste, 381; Bos • ton, 324 ; together, 13,119 bales ; making a reduc tion in stock of 6,080 bales, and leaving on hand, Ihclusivcof all on ship-board, not cleared on the 10th instant, a stock of 101,936 bales. Our report of laet Wednesday morning, it will be remembered, represented the Cotton market ag being steady, at the prices then quoted. No sales we believe, were made on Wednesday, the atten tion of the public generally, having been with drawn from business pursuits on that day, in order to anticipate in the celebration of the battle of New Orleans. On Thursday, the sales, notwith standing that the market exhibited a rather quiet appearance, amounted to upwards of 4/000 bales, though at a decline, generally, of ai quarter of a cent, on ordinary and middling; qpalitics from mid-i --dling fair up, in consequence of their scarcity, and 1 the greater demand for them, full' mainttaningj previous rates. Yesterday the market was rather quiet, and the sales, which reached to about 2,700 bales, went to confirm the decline on the lower grades, noticed above, and to which our quotations have been made to conform. The sales, during the week, amount to about 19,000 bales, and for the last three days to 6,700 ; of which we notice the following, viz: 131 Louisiana and Mississippi, at 81 ; 14 at 8$ ; 50 at 7 ; 45 at 9; 70 at 6$ ; 42 at 9$ . 250 at 9$ ;50at7;18 at 9; 201 at ; 114 at 7$ ; 700 at 7jf; 234 at 8$ ; 300 at 6j) a8; 150 at 8J ; 600 at 8$ ; 76 at 8j ; 64 at 9$ ; 100 at 9 1-16 ; 430 at 8$ ; 82 at 9s; 94 at 8$ ; 27 at 7s; 129 at 6$ i 46 8 ; 84 at 8$ ; 44 at 8 ; 102 at 8* ; 143 at 8; 210 at 7s; 60 at 8; 60 at 8J; 55 at 9; 358 Mississippi and Western Districts at 8$ cents, and 15 Western Districts at Scents.
