Mr. Holmes offered the following resolutions: Resolved, That the president of the United Stales, by the removal of officers, (which removal was not required for the faithful execution of the law) and filling the vacancies thus created in the recess of the senate, acts against the interest of the people, the rights of the states and the spirit of the constitution. Resolved, That it is the right of the senate to inquire, and the duty of the president io inform them, why, and for what cause or causes, any officer has been removed in the recess. Resolved, That the removals from office by the president, since the last session of the senate, seem, with few exceptions, to be without satisfactory reasons, against the public interest, the rights of the states,and the spirit of the constitution.

' This vote may be considered as equivalent to a rejection of the resolutions.

Simultaneously with the introduction of Mr. Holmes1 resolutionsinthe Senate, calling on the president for the causes of removals, Mr. Chilton Introduced one, similar in purport, into the house of representatives. The house however, did not extend the common courtesy of laying it on the fable, but promptly rejected it; thus manifesting their disapprobation of the sensorious course

attempted to be pursued by the opposition towards the president. We are pleased at the result; for once sanction the doctrine that the president is bound to answer to the impertinent inquiry of every mad cap in congress, and you directly send that now high and dignified office a begging. No man of talent or spirit would ever accept it under such restrictions. The president of the United Slates to answer to Thomas Chilton, forsooth! why he removed from office men who have been 10, 15, and SOyears wallowing in plenty, and growing fat by thj annual supplies rereived from the public crib!

We are pleased to lay before our readers the following letter, signed by sixty eight members of the Legislature, expressing their approbation of thp "wise, judicious, republican measures" of General Jackson's administration ; and respeclfuliy urging him again to become a candidate for the Presidency. This manifestation of the feeling of rennsylvania, oy the representatives of the people, must put down ali speculation on the subject. There is but one sentiment prevailing in the ranks of the democralic party, with regard to the importance of our venerated Chief Magistrate permitting his name once more to be placed before the American people; and every republican member of the Legislature heartily concurred in the propriety of quieling the public mind, by an early declaration of that sentiment. Many of the warmest friends of Gen. Jackson in the Legislature, preferred expressing the views and wishes of the p-rly by a meeting, which was accordingly held; the proceedings of which are before the people, and have already received the sanction of the great re publican btate of New York, as will be seen by the proceedings of a meeting of the republican members of the Legislature. The convention of the members of the Legislature of this State w,is fully attended, and the resolutions unanimously adoptedfor no other purpose, we venture positively to assert, ould so large and respectable a meeting have been got up, on the eve of an adjourn, ment. The malignant slanderers of Gen. Jackson positively declare, that Dut "fifty six" aye "56" in round numbers, ol the Legislature joined in expressing a wish that Gen. Jackson should be a candidate for re-election! Y"et the letter, it will be observed, is signed by sixty eight members, and it does not contain all those who participated in the meeting three of (he officers of the meeting, who are the most ardent and sincere friends of Gen. Jackson, viz. Mr. Brown, of the Senate, the President; Mr Smith, speaker of the House of Representatives, one of the Vice Presidents; and Dr. Burden, a member of the committee to draft resolutions, did not sign it ; they with several others of the most devoted friends of General Jackson, preferred expressing the feelings of the party by a public meeting. The truth is, there were very few if any of the members of the Legislature, who ever were fiieudly to

General Jackson, thai did not participate in that meeting or sign the letter ; and, what is still more galling to our reckless opponents, several highly respectable members, supporters of the election of Mr. Adams bejore the last Presidential election, joined in the meeting and signed the letter. Thus our friends in other States will discover, that the pop ularity of ANDREW JACKSON is increased, instead ot diminishing in Pennsylvania. Harrisburg, March 20, 1 330. To his Excellenc), Andrew Jackson, President of the United Slates. Dear Sir : The undersigned, members of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, hefore closing the duties assigned them b) tbr ir constituents, bee leave to tender to you their best wishes for your health and happiness, and to express to you the confidence reposed by them in the sound republican principles which mark the course of your administration. The second political revolution effected in the year 1829, is progressing in a way to attain those great results which were fondly anticipated, and which in the end, we ardently hope, will tend to cement in stronger bonds the republican feelings of the country. In a free government like ours, parties must and will

exist it should be so, inasmuch as it serves to make those who are dominant, vigilant and active in the discharge of the important duties which give life, health and activity to the great principles by which as a free people we should be governed. If the voice of Pennsylvania, which has recently been prominently and fiiciently exerted in the election of our present distinguished chief magistrate can have influence, it will as heretofore be exerted in inducing you to permit your name and distinguished services again to be presented to the American people. We deem it of importance to the maintenance of correct republican principles, that the country should not thus early be again drawn into a warm and virulent contest as to who shall be your successor. If the people can indulge a hope that, in acceding to their wishes as heretofore, the warmth of former contests may be spared, they will ba able to repose, in peace and quiet, and before the end of your second term, will expect with confidence that the great principle of governmental reform will be so harmonised and arranged, that the affairs of the nation for the future will move on certainly, peacefully and happily. Expressing what we feel and believe to be the language of our constituents, we claim to indulge the expectation that your avowed principle "neither to seek nor decline to serve your country in public office,5' will still be adhered to that thereby the people may obtain repose, and toward the termination of your second term, be better prepared to look around and ascertain into whose hands can be best confided the care and of guardianship, our dearest rights, our happiness and independence. This communication is not made with the intention of obtaining from you any declaration at this time upon the subject. We are aware that persons would be found to call such declaration premature before some general expression of satisfaction in relation to the course you have pursued, had been ex ibited and time afforded for it to be evinced. Pennsylvania, heretofore first to express her attachment upon this subject, seeks only to maintain the positionshe has assumed, and to express through her representatives her continued confidence in your stern political integrity, and the wise, judicious, republican measures of your administration, and to cherish the hope that the country may again be afforded Ihe opportunity of having those services, the benefit of which she is now so happily enjoying. On this subject, Sir, we speak not only your own sentiments and opinions, but feel that the people will accord to the suggestion, and every where respond to what we have declared. Wishing you long life, health and hap piness, we remain your friends and fel low citizens. Calicoes. It is stated in the New York Courier that at the Eagle Print works, at Belville, New Jersey, upwards of 120,000 yards of American calicoes are printed weekly. The works are very extensive, and embrace shops for the manufacture of all the patterns, forms and tests, and keep in constant employ upwards of two hundred persons. The goods manufactured at this institution meet with a ready sale, and it is said are so excellent that many a fair one, who imagines 6he is decked in the "latest importation," is, in fact, arrayed in calico printed in N.Jersey. Arrived, on board the ship Orbit, from London, three fine Serpents, the Diamond Snake, of great beauty; the Roacorstrictor, and Anaconda of large size, all in fine health, having eaten during the passage several rabbits. Thev will be in Peales museum in a few dovs for exhibition. J Luq.

MUagcviUe, (Geo,) Ap it 17; More Gold. One of our townsmen has brought (rom Habersham county, a piece of gold recently found there worth 150. We begin to be of the oninion, generally entertained in the upper counties of this State, tb;0 Georgia is extremely rich in the precious metal, and perhaps as much so ao Mexico or Peru. Our gold region begins to attract more attention than the sugar region. How strange that the discovery of gold in this slate was not made at an earlier period? Thousands are now profitably employed it searching for this precious metal, and we are afraid some of our most steady, prudent citizens will have their heads turned by "golden dreams." The protit will be to individuals, not to the country all experience proving, that thu superabundance of the precious metals, by causing the neglect of agriculture, is rather injurious than bentticial to the prosperity of a country. A son of Si. Ciispin, resident in this town, and who has been years married, having become a prey to the grtei.eyed monster, j- alousy, determined to try the strength of remaining .ffeclion in his suspected lib. For thi purpose, a few days ago, he hit upon the following notable expedient. Afler various shugs and groan?, and sobs and sighs, intimated to her that he was tired of living in this wicked world, where all was deception, and threw out a dark hint that tie should probably resort to a deed that would astonish her. In accordance with his plan, he retired to his chamber, and erected a hanging aparatus, arranged so as to disentangle hi mself when he had had enough Listening to hear when his wife wai coming up stairs, he instantly placed the noose round his neck, andgallantly -threw himself off,' sag !y su-pectiug that hi3 better half, when observing him in this perilous situation, would be irresistably drawn by the cord of love to commiserate his fate, and hastily cut him down, and repent of her cruel treatment. Alack for erring humanity ;

she did approach him, but for a far different purpose than the one he had contemplated ; she pulled him lustil) by the legs, with the charitable determination (as she expressed it) that since it was his own choice, he should be treated to 4a few struggles!' The apparatus, however, fortunately for the poor cobler, gave way, and, instead of being launched into another world, he uas once more landed on terra firma. Being now satisfied where his wife's offection3 lay, he immediately gave her a ound drubbing, for which he was brought before the magistrate on Tuesday , and bound over to keep the peace. The parties, who have no family, have since separated. Halifax Pap. Important. We have been favored (says the New York Courier and Enquirer) with the following extract of a letter from a member of the Tennessee Legislature to his friend in Congress, dated March 23, 1830: "The occupants are well pleased with the occupant law passed at the last session of the Legislature. You have no doubt noticed a law that was passed at the last session, giving a right of occupancy to any man whose wife had three or more children at one birth to two hundred acres of land for each child. I introduced that bill, and if you could get Congress to relinquish her right to them, many of your constituents would be benefitted. I see that the first section of that law has taken the rounds in the newspapers. 1 will tell ou the reason that prompted me to introduce that law. There are six women liv ing in the district that I represented that had three children at one birth, and one that had five! all of them poor. If this fact was known, the editors would not think the law so very extraordinary as the Intelligencer seemed to think it was. Since my return home, I have heard of three others in this State who come within the provisions of this law."

The loid of a village being at dinner, allowed one of his tenants to stand, while he conversed with him. 'What news, mv friend?' said the squire. 'None that f know of,' replied the farmer, except that a sow of mine has had a liter of thirteen pigs, and sha has only twelve teats.' 'What will the thirteenth do? asked the lord. Do as I do, returned Hodgr,it will stand and look on while the others eat.
