The Taylor Resolution passed in both Houses in Tennessee. The resolution recommending Gen. Taylor for tbo Presidency was finally passed on Wednesday, by a vote of 4'2 yeas to CO unys. We republish it, ns follows: "Resolved by theGener.il Assembly of the State of Tennessee, That the people of Tennessee by their Representatives, do hereby recommend to their fellow citizensof the Union, GEN. TAYLOR, as a candidate for the Presidency at the next tlection, in whose ability, Impartiality, patriotism and devotion to the constitution, confidence can beK.rely reposed by the people." We understand that the Democratic State Convention which assembled at Fraukrort on Saturday last, adjourned without making nominations for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The attendance was so meagre and so few counties were represented that it was determined another Convention should meet on the 15th of March. The Whig members orthe Kentucky Legislature, with great unanimity, have fixed ou the 22d or February next, as the day for holding the State Convention to nominate Candidates for Governor end Lieut.

We received yesterday, by our overland exJ press, the New Orleans Picayune orthe 2.1 inst., one diy in advance or the mail, from which we extract tho following intelligence. The Picayune ays: The Steamship Portland, Captain Spinney, arrived last evening from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed the evening or the 24th lilt. Her adipes are but a lew hours later than those of the Xew Orleans. We cannot learn that she brings a word of nev... The same rumor prevailed in Vera Cruz, of which we have before heard so much, that Gen. Scott proposed to push a column upon Queretaro. Our own private accounts fro.n the city or Mexico have led us to believe that Gen. Scott had no desiens unon Queretaro itself, unless to pass through that i city in order to reach San Louis Totes! or Zacatecas. Upon each of these cities, capitals or Status of the same name, l,rt waa represented as planning expeditions, to be dispatched upon the arrival of Gen. Butler with his large command. On the 2,'ilh ult., Captain Spinner saw off Tuspan the United Stales sloop-of- war Germantown, at anchar. A Washington letter in the New York Courrier rays: The question whether General. Scott, Worth and Fillow aro to be recal ed, was at full length debated in the Cabinet meeting of yesterday, and I believe they will be called home, were it but to give the army a lesson of obedience to the institutions aud law. of their counrry. All tho heavy service being done, and the heart of Mexico fairly in our possession, our military renerale will answer quit e as well for garrisoning towns and clearing the high roads of robber, and vagabonds as Scott himself After the recall or Scott, Worth and Tillow, the command will devolve on Major General Butler, or Keutucky, who Ftands in the most intimate relation to the President, and would carry out his views without the appointment or a Lieutenant General. If Scott, Worth, Tillow and Duncau come home, they will undoubtedly be court martialed. CP It is stated that Gen. Taylor has recently purchased 2000 acres of land between the Nueces and the Rio Grande; this looks as if he regarded the latter river as the true boundary.

The Senate then, on motion, proceeded to the ! i consideration of the Ten Regimentbill. Mr. Reverdy Juhuaon rose, and resumed his epeech. He took up the second qnestlon offered by him yesterday.

Mr. Johnson then passed to the consideration of the third question; "In what manner shall the war be hereafter prosecuted?" The answer to this question would depend upon the answer given to another.

Wedxesdav, Jan. 12th SENATE. Mr. Hale presented a memorial of upwards or twenty-nine hundred Ministers and Laymen of Unitarian denomination, praying ... .uupuon oi pacihe measures for terminating the war with Mexico, and the reparation or all wrongs that may have been done by the United State, to that Republic, which was referred to the committee on foreign relations. iur.

The Senate then took np the resolution, -r .nr. uicKtnson, relative to annexation of territory. Mr. Dickinson supported his resolutions in a written speech of some length, contending that we ought to annex the whole of the Mexican territory now in our possession, and leave the question of slavery to be determined hy the people whe may inhabit the acquired territory. The people demanded more territory, and even had the war with Mexico never had taken place, It would have been impossible to have prevented the annexution or a portion of Mexico. Mr. Yulse was much pleased with the liberality of the Senator from New York, on one point embraced in his resolutions, but he did not go quite far enough to meet his southren views He intended therefore, at a proper time, to .ubmit an amendment declaring that the federal government ha. no delegated authority, nor th. . r i- . .

The Senate then proceeded to the special order, and the const deration of the teu regiment un was resumed, Mr. Clayton resumed hit remarks la opposition to thebiil. He contended that there was no necessity for the increase of force asked for, that now in the service being sufficient even to conquer all Mexico. He was willing to vote uppliea for our army now there, but not to create new regiments. Much had been said about "Indemnity and Security," and it now appears that "Indemnity for the Tast" meant one-half of Mexico, and "Security for the Future meant the other half! Towards the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Clayton referred in strong terms to the admission of Santa Anna in Mexico by order of the President. HOUSE Mr. H.lliard, from the Committee OU For.
