The Undersigned, disci iniing all comparative preferences over others, respectfully suggests, that these qualifications and characteristics, in a high degree, may be found in their fellow-citizen John Mel. can. They only feel at liberty, at present, to present his name for the consideration of their fellow-citizens throughout the Union. Contending for ;rmriptcs) and not for men, they, depreciate the evils arising from the election of the President by the House of Representatives, and while they present an individual of their orr? SioU to the consideration of their fellow-citizen, should an other be brought forward on whom those with whom they act can more cordially and effectually unite, they promise him their unJivi trJ support. They only add their tunccre conviction, that should John McLean be put in nomination as the candidate of tlnisc with whom there is a community of sentiment on the one great purpose of preventing anJf.rrcMiVi from actually appointing hit .ffYr-.v.or, there is no reasonable doubt, but that the rlntoral vote of O'iio will sustain such
a nomination. Signed by 5S members of the Legislature, and IM men of high standing from different parls of the Slate.

Wasiiixcjtox, 1. C, Dec.Qid. To the IZiiitor f the CouriVr Enquirer. The Senate have been this day engaged n discussing the claims on Prance, for spoliations committed prior to ISO:). Mr. Sh plry occupied the whole time, in favour of the bill. I continue to think, that the parties interested have nothing to fear, in that body, from their opponents; but every thing to apprehend from their friends. There is such a thing (in a parliamentary language) as talking a bill to
tluith. At this moment a mnioritv of the
Senate are for it. Why not take the question! The whole fort e of the administration will be called out against the bill. Mr. has the lloor to-morrow. - The house have had under consideration, in committee of the whole, the navy bill. No final question has yet been taken. Something, however, wili be done. Perhaps not much for the highest grade of officers. There appears to bo a disposition to better the condition of the m asters and commanders the lieutenants, and subordinate officers. In l!ie course of the last infer, a gentlemen (Mr. O. . Dibble) of Ruffalo was here, engaged before Congress, respecting a celebrated contract for building a bridge." The operation was profitable, although the bridge was not built. He was, and yet is, a great favorite at the white house. His intimacy with the Postmaster (Jeneral was. apparently, of the most confidential character. He spake, and looked, and walked, as one having authority. Mr. Ilnstly the postmaster at lluffilo, died. His sou was appointed ml interim. Mr. Dibble having closed his bridge affair, and settled his accounts under an act of Congress, became a candidate for the post otliee at Buffalo. He was appointed, but Mr. Itnam ll was informed that if a majority of the business inhabitants of (he place, would reccommend him, he should be reinstated.. He was so sil-
ly as to oelieve ll. iol wore Joexfonmrn. liussell procured the requisite number of sig
natures and returned here. He has been some weeks w aiting the movement of the waters. Rut his hopes are vain. Mr. Dibble, will not be removed.
Rut now for a rumor. The statement shall be brief. It is said, that Mr. Dibble has, or has had, in his possession, the bond of the Postmaster General, for money lent; and that the payment of the bond is secured by the names of one. or both oflhc following per
sonages, viz. .Intlrcze Jucksnn andJom . Eaton. If it is untrue. Mr 'Dibble owes it to the
President, and to Major Eaton to contradict it. If such a contradiction meets my eye, I will republish it. At present I make no comments. 1 now wish that justice may be done to the parties. If Mr. Dibble publishes any thing, it is to be hoped that the denial will be explicit, detailing the facts and circumstances, if any there be, which have caused the rumor. This is the more desirable, inasmuch as it is
said, that he is. himself the source of it.
a goou ana true Jaeksonman yesterday," 1 have had the honor of an interview with the old chief. He informed me that he was determined to have satisfaction from the French, il in obtaining it, every ship in our navy was to be sunk, and the President added" will if) on boori une cf them and sink ivitli her, if tieCfssary.' There is much discussion here, as to the probability of the appropriation being made in France before the President's message is received there. On this subject, I am decidedly of opinion that no appropriation will he made during the present session of our Congress. In the first place. I have seen no satisfactory evidence that the Chambers are to convene before the i;)th day of December. Neither our Executive, nor the French minister, have received any advices that thev are actually called together. We have nothing but newspaper rumor. Rut let us suppose that they meet on the 1st of Hecemher. Is it, then", probable that the ministers will immediately present the law; that the subject will be referred ; that the Committee will forth with report, and that the Chamber of Deputies will take up, and pass tltjotjgh all its forms, the required law. within ihirhi d,n.jticr .their convening ? I answer, un. if . "fecipitancy is not in conformity with (h'ukgeS of that bodv: and un
der all the circumstances of the case, it appears to me that it would be incompatible with (heir dignity. After the arrival of the message there can be no hope that appropriation will be made. Whether the King (in 1S.T3) ,V: his ministers were alike anxious to carry the treaty into effect; when the committee to whom the subieet
was referred, were unanimously in favor, of
the appropriation, how long was it. after the Chambers convened, before a decision of the question was obtained? I will inform you. The Chambers met on the 23d of December, IS!?:. The" bill was presented and referred for a Committee on the 13th of January. 1S31.
The Committee reported on the 10th of
march. ;1 he report was called up for consideration on the 'JSt h March, aad decided on the 1st of April; being three months old and nine dnifs after the Chambers convened. And now, it is expected that all these, and additional forms, are to be gone through with in about thirtif days. I am an unbeliever. THE SPY IN WASHINGTON.

Si'r-:vibnnl f.nst. On Wednesday night last, about I I o'clock, the Steamboats Rood's Lick and John Nelson came in contact with each other opposite Vcvay, which so injured the former that she sunk before she reached the shore. The Rood's Lick was on her way down, and we arc informed that the pilot ol the Nelson supposed, from the manner in which the Rood's Lick came up, that she intended to run foul of the Nelson, and accordingly held his boat to receive her. The same pilot was at the wheel of the Roon's Lick as was when that boat sunk the Missouri Relic, about 20 miles above New Orleans, a few weeks since, which caused the death of several passengers.

The following bills have passed both Houses, viz: A bill to amend the act for opening roads and highways; a bill to organize the county of Henry ; a bill to change the names of the town and township of Chargin, in the country of Cuyahoga; and a bill for the relief of Silvester Parsons. A resolution extending the time for the payment of taxes to the ISth of February next lias passed both Houses. " " , In the Senate, another Rank bill has been reported, to wit: A bill to incorporate the Dank of Tiliin. The bill to incorporate the Hank of Marion has been considered in committee' of the whole, and now lies on the table. The only feature in which it differs from the charters granted -Inst year, is that which prohibits the issuing of bills under five dollars. The majority of the committee on Finance have repen ted a.bill nrohibitino- Btatf
and county Treasurers from receiving bills of
a less denomination than 5 dollars in payment of taxes; but Mr. Osborn has given "notice that he shall make a counter report. The ma jority of the committee on New Counties have reported a bill to erect the county of New Haven, and have made a favorable report on the same subject; from which the minority, Mr. Howard.' dissented. The bill fixing the rate of interest at C per cent., but allowing parties to contract for any rate not exceeding 10, has been ordered to be engrossed by a decisive vote, as will be seen by our reports of yesterday. The same bill provides that any person loaning at a higher rate than 10 per cent, shall forfeit holh principal and interest. Mr. King has made an able and elaborate report, accompanied by a bill, proposing that the State should undcrtake the making' of a Canal to intersect the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canals." The hill for organizing and disciplining the Militia, was again considered in committee of the whole House, on Wednesday last; when, after some further discusion. the question was taken on the motion previously made by Mr. Rrown, to strike out the first section, and decided in the negative. Some progress was then made in the details of the bill; after which the committee rose and obtained leave to sit again. Additional petitions for Ranks at Cadiz, Milan, Ashtabula, Coshocton, Akron, Franklin, and Maumee, have been presented and referred; as well as petitions praying for un amendment to the act defining the powers and duties of Justices of the Peace and Constables in civil cases, as to authorize the creditor to commence suit in the township where either of the parties reside. A hill to abolish imprisonment for debt, has been introduced on. leave by Mr. Ramage. The bill to incorporate the Rank of Cadiz, was taken up for consideration yesterday morning, in committee of the whole; when along and interesting debate ensued on a motion made by Mr. Sawyer, to restrict said Rank from issuing bills or notes of a less denomination than live dollars: which wn fmnllv nrrrt
to bv a small majority. The bill had notcen
disposed of at the hour of adjournment; nor had any question been taken thereon from which its probable fate may be anticipated.
