OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT.
This gentleman will* doubtlo**, bo much indebted

Ido to respond In a stylo at once courteous and man

reluctant to Ire a volunteer and nssumo a task where

the following editorial paragraph.
From the Savannah Rtpubliean, IflfA Jan.
•• Tho Washixotom CnnnxsronDRRT or the
Georoiax.—Wo have every pluln and simple ques
tion to propound to this gentleman, whoever Iro may
be,and wo would call Ids particular a'lonlion to it.
Does lie mean to pledge Ids personal veracity to the
truth of his statement in tiro Georgian of Friday,
that assumption of Stato debts is one of tiro Whig
measures t Yfe pause for a reply." '
On turning to the Georgian of Friday (15th,)
we find that our Correspondent in alluding to the
«' Federal" Forty, remarks—" They can never hide
their tail: It pops through at every turn they moke.
In tho shape of a National Bank—a High Tariff—
Internal Improvement*—AssumptioaofStato Debt**
nnd tho recepilon of Abulhioa Petitions."
This is tho sentence to which, wo presume, the
Editor* of the Republican allude, nnd we cxlrac*
it, Hko the other, that onr Correspondent may read
what ho has written.
From a reluctance to engogo in newspaper contro
versy with n contemporary, for we deem such con
troversies productive of little good, wltilo they may
lead to evil consequences,' wo liavo refrained from
noticing chesensitiveness with which hi* communi
cation* have been received by one of our presses.
We will soy, however, thus much forour Corres
pondent, that bold in his assertions ho wants not the
talent* to defend them, and it would be supereroga
tory, as wo before remarked, to volunteer in com
batting objections to (hoir (ruth or voracity, •’
We loavs his reply to hlmrelf and proceed to cal'
the attention of our readers to Else resolutions which
passed the Senate, and tho vole of Messrs. Clay, of
Ky,.Crittenden,p'avis,Porter,Preston,Southard and
Webster, leading IVkigs. It will bo observed that
those Senators voted against Mr. Nurvell’s substi
tute which recognized the principles of the resolu
lions, which passed the Senate, ' wlillo with one
exception (Mr. Preston,) tlsoy voted for Mr. CrlL
tendon’s substitute for llsu resolution* of the Com
mittee; •
This vote evince* tlrnt they were willing to do
indirectly, what they were afraid to advocate direct
ly. Mr. Preston turned from them tho moment they
introduced a resolution, advocating the distribution
of the proceeds of the public lands among tho seve
ral'States.
When llie vote on Mr. Prentiss' amendment wa*
taken the above named Senators did not votent all,'
which with their refusal to vote on subsequent
amendments evinces a hostility,we would soy, to the
resolutions adopted hy tho Senate.

Our news from tin* interior amounts to a Irlior

be committed by Wild Cat's party, which Is sumo-
limns true, at this adventurous gentleman is well
known, and every trouble at the south is occasioned
by Sum Jnnss* party, though the old fishermnn may
bo at ignorant of It, aa that par value of ignorant
folks, the man in the moon.

cautious about telling theft ntitos, but this Indivldu"
at soon figures in tho mMspapers with one uf lYidst
respectable tongth, ending with Tus Ic nttg-gc (dVo

the " Nophow of 86m Janos," tho " Uncle of Wild

We regret lo see that the movement of tha I'enn
•yfv-mia Banks for* resumption of specie payments
is nut followed up in Maryland and Virginia,or els#
where—bat we regret more lo see, tlwt no satisfae
lory reason is offered therefor. Ii is argued there
will be a pressure in tba money market if rssuptlon
is undertaken, to which ought to have been added,
there must be a pressure whenever resumption
comes—and thus if the reason be good so far, tba
reason L goad for paper money forever.
It is quite time, ns it seems tout, for lira Banks

Baltimore has been in a better position for rosunip

On the 33d tho Correspondent of the Charleston
Patriot writes—In the lliiuse, after an inaffuctao)
attempt to call up tho abolition potitlons, which ere
uted so milch ndlso in yesterday, the Troisary Note
Bl (I was again considered in committee ofthe wboIA.
Mr. Rhett having tlra floor, contended that there
was no new salty for either a loan or the imposition
of a Trriff on silk as had been proposed; but that tho
pteseftt bill would afford ample means for relieving
the Treasury. Mr. R. said be did not understand
until yesterday why this project of a duty on silk
had boon started- But the speech of Mr. Crltton-
den in the Senein had solved the mystery. It ap
peared that the silk tariff was to supply the deficien
cy which Would arise, in ease ike proceeds from the
public hinds should Ira distributed among the States.
Mr. R.ut some length argued that a duty on silks
woo'd bale Ibe effect of checking tho exports of Cet
ton frum tlra Southern States tu Franco.
Mr. Nisbet contended that tha argument of Mr.
R. amounted to nothing unless he could shew that
a light duty on silks would amount to a prohibition
of that artiele.
