SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1840.
No. 48
[Correipondence of the Ckarlnton Courier.]
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.
Neither Homo of Congress i* in session tn-dnv.
The Standins Committee* nre to bo announced on
Monday, and thuto is much speculation n* to their
fhurnoler. Tbo question is, wheiitor Mr* Hunter
will feel bound to placoudntinl«tin'ion majorities nn
the prim ipnl committee*, with a view to fucililntn
tbo progress of publio business, fur which tbo ad
ministration is responsible—or, whether ho will
place the businri* In the hands of those gentlemen—
i. e., the Whig* aiid Nullifi<-rs—who - loeted him.
It is a *afu ami just parliamentary principle that
tho Committoe* ought to represent thn majority of
tipi House. If tbo majority tiro friendly to tho mea
sures of the ndmini-tration, then the Committees
idtnnld bo formed accordingly: but of this there is
some doubt. Tho administration have a decided
mnjnri'y for tho Suli-Tn usury, but it docs not yot
appear, notwithstanding the assertions of thn Rich
mond Enquirer, tirnt tbo Cullimm tnotnbcrs (*o call
ed) am teitily to go till lengths, on all questions,
with tho nduiioistiniion. Wo shall sec how they
will vote on tho printing question—which is, un-
duuiiicdly, us fair it test hs the .Spoukcr’* election.
If they could not vote larMr.-Jon.-*, cun they vote
for thoGluhoT It'th«-y cun, then tho hrcncli,moo
ted by (ho uncetemonious abandonment of Mr. Pick-
ous, may be coitsuleied a* closed.
We liuva many rilmor* nllont, ns to the course uf
Mr. Calhoun und his friends; hut mmc of them nre
to lio relied on. As fast ns otto obtains curmnny it
i* contradicted, ami superi-ndml by aiiotliei'. Tho
amuttnt of it seems to Ito, that the Ritelinmin into*
rest is willing to ruceivo Mr. Calhotin in lull com
munion; hut that, between him ami Mr. Heaton,
there is a deep gulplt. We sltull smut be able to
lournfrumMr. Cullioun's.owa lips the truth in re-
gaol to his present position. 1 huve very litllu
doubt that Mr. Speaker Hunter will place Mr,
Rhett or Mr. Pickens, at the head of the Commit-
too of Ways nnd Means, uti.l cast that Committee
in such a way as tofaeditnte thefiihincinl measures
of the administration. On the Cmnmitl- o of Fo
reign A flit I rs, ho cun place a npymjiy nf Whigs,
with Mr. Cusliingas Chairntnu; opeojujy ns the
House is umininimiB upon the. only important ques
tion touching ear foreign rotations,
Mr, W'isa wn* cxctisud from serving on tiny Stan
ding Committee, The** private rensott," which ho
say* ho had for making this retpiest, I do not know.
It tnny he, shut having hi-ett intluentiul in tho elec
tion of Mr. Iluniefvmd prumineiil in rip) party that
gave their unanimous support to him, the Speaker
might liuvn been disposed to place him at soino pest
i>f nihor tvl ici* ho did not du-ife. It is presumed,
too, that Mr. Wise wil: heat tho h>-tpl of a Commit
li-u of investigut$oo, os h-rctnliire.
No champion has yut appearud for the assumption
of State debts. Col. Ueittoti has tlirevvii down the
glove, hut no one has a vunccdto take it up. Seine
ossuyist, in the London Unnkers’ Circular, and a
writer in the New York Courier nnd Enquirer, aro
the only advocates of the scheme, Unit 1 have ever
heard of.
Tho news from Richmond is, that the •'impracti
cable*” fitivo given way, and thin Mr. Kiv will
la* eh eled to tho U. S. Sedate,
and Tillis that the Circassian* have completely do-
fouled the Russian cavalry along tho whole line of
tho Sundju, and on the plain* of A Inrun, occasioning
u loss of 3(100 muii, and several superior ofljeuFs uf
distinguished merit. Only a few sciittorqd lopuiants
suvod themselves by (lying to Soukoipn Jvtilu.Attupn,
and other f«t lifted places.
All tho post* of he Russian cavalry worn attack
ed nearly at the same hour by • superior numbers,
showing that the Ciioiisiinii* were well Informed not
only of tho position, hut the strength of enoli post.
This expediiioo was conducted by the Circassian
chief, Szain'ihnlj.in person; the some who has nlroudy
gained tunny victories over the Russians, and whose
name has become ti terror to them.

Central Bank.
Mr. Crawford, un l;i-}|iilf of himialf and otlt'-r*.
H ir-sonted rim lollovying protest, which, being signed
iy the Protestants, was ordi-rvtl to bo euiviuJ un
1 thu Journals, and which ix us IhlloWe, to wit:
Wo, tlio iiniluirigoud, being a i-oi ilon of the mi

of such |»r-»lo*t.
Wo Hold that the priuclplo which asserts that
tho people shoiild rely on thu Government for pe
cuniary rcliol, is radically wrung. It i* an inver
sion of ull propor government#. Above ull others,
n Republic created by ilio People should rest upon
the People. A* oao obvious inference from this
popotition, wo ma at -in tiiat only thu ticcesaury
supplies lur the Government ought to ho derived
from th-' governed. Applying those qdiniitcd troths
to the recently adopted nuisance, ills iinparonl they
IiiiVo been subverted and outinged. It* practical
operation,e-pceially ifcuirie.l to tho extent uvowed
ami tlusirod by it* advocate*, will, in nslrort period,
exhibit its unveiled folly und ruthless oppression.
For it starts with thu outrugoou* preposition that
public cred.t i» t«* relievo popular wui-u, ami will
entl with the certain necessity -if universal nnd heavy
luxation, in or-lor to redeem that public credit.
Wnlurihcrhuhl that so long no we iiuvo n mixed
currency, there most h i souio i-hta- li-lieJ siamhud
of value. Among all commercial and e.iviliju*d na

that which ducinres to hen poriuf the activeeapitul

Tho iimlci signed were desirous of restraining tho
