CONGRESSIONAL. IN SENATE Dec. 16. The Vice Phe3Ident of the United States this day took his seat in the Chair of the Senate, and delivered the following address: Sbnators! On entering on the duties of this station to which I have been called by the People, deference to you and justice to myself require that Ishill forestall expectations which might otherwise be disappointed. Although for m my ye:irs heretofore a member of the Sen ate, I regret that I should not have acquired that knowledge of the particular order of its proceedings which might natually be expected. Unfortunately for me in respect to my present condition, I ever found those at hind who had more correctly appreciated this important branch of their duties, and on whose opinions, nstopoints of order, f could at all times Safely rely. This remissness would doubtless, for a season, cause me no small degree of embarrassment. So far, however, as unremitting exertious on my part, and a proper respect for the advice of lhos3 who are better informed than myself, can avail, this deficiency will be remedied as speedily as possible; and I feel pursuaded that the Senate, in the moan time will extend tome a considerable indulgence. But, however wanting I may be, for the time, in a thorough knowledge of the technical duties of the Chair, I entertain I humbly hope, a deep and folemn conviction of its high moral obligations. I 1m well aware that he who occupies it, is bound to

cherish towards the members of the hndv over which he presides, no other feelings than those of! justice and courtesy; to regard them all as standing on an honorable equality to apply the rules established by themselves, for their own government, with strict impartiality and to use whatever authority he possesses in the manner best calcula ted to protect the rights, to respect the feelings, j and to guard the reputations of all who may be affeeana to guard the reputations ot all wuo may ted by its exercise. It is no disparagement to any other branch of .1 V. . . . me uovcrnment to say, that there is none on f which the Constitution devolves such extensive powers as it does upon the Senate. There is scarcely an exercise of constitutional authority in which it does not mediately or immediately participate; it forms an important and,jn some respects, indispensable part of each of the three great departments, Executive, Legislative and Judicial; and is, moreover, the body in which is made cfiectual, that share of Power in ihe Fed-Tal organiz ilion so wisely allowed to the respective State sovereignties. Invested with such august powers so judiciously restricted and so largely adapted to the purposes of good government, it is no wonder that the Senate is regarded by the people of the United States, as one of the'. best features' in what they at least consider to be, the wisest, the freest, and happiest and political system in the world. In fervent wishes that it may long continue to be so regarded, and in a conviction of ihe importance of order, propriety, and regularity in its proceedings, we must all concur. It shall be an object of my highest ambition, Senators, to join witii you, as fir as in me lies, in effecting those desirable objects? and in endeavoring lo realize the expectation formed of this Body at the adoption of ihe Constitution, and ever since confidently cherished, that it would exercise the most efficient influence in upholding the Federal system, and in perpetuating what is at once the foundation and the safeguard of our country's welfare, the Union of the States. The Senate then proceeded to ballot for the remaing members of the Committee on Finance, when the following were elected: Messrs. Tyler, Ewing, Wilkins,and Mangurn. Mr. Wilkins moved that the Senate now adjourn : Ayes 19, Noes 24. IN SENATE Dec. 17.

Mr. Binney presented the following memorial from the Bank of the United States: To the Senate and Havre of Representatives of the united states. The Board of Directors of ihe Bank of the Unites Slates respecifully represent That, by the Charter of the Bank, it wss stipulated between the Congress of the United States and the stockholders of the Bank of the United States, that in consideration of a full equivalent rendered by them, in money and inservicis, they were entitled to the custody of the public moneys, which were not to be withdrawn from it, uub ss for reasons of the sufficiency of which, Congress, and Congress alone, was the final judge. That the Bank has in all things faithfully performed the stipulations of the Charter. Nevertheless, since the adjournment of Congress, the Secretary of ihe Treasury has issued an order on the 29th of Sept. last, withdrawn from the possession of the Bank, the Custom House Bonds deposited therein, and has subsequently transferred into other B inks a large portion of the Public Moneys then in the safe keeping of ihe Bank, with the purpose of making them hereafter the permanent depositories of ihe public revenue. The Board of Directors therefore deem it their duty forthwith to apprize your honorable bodies of th s violation of the chartered rights of the block

holders, and to ask such redress therefor as to your I enir, at tne rate of one dollar per acre; those i may he profit il ly ns-d br oydrauhc purposes ; prosense of justice may seem proper. By order of w hich shall have remained unsold ten years, and j vided that the said commissioners shall not expand,

the Board. N. BIDDLE, President of ihe Bank oftho United Slates. Philadelphia, Dec. 9, 1S33. Mr. Binney moved that tho memorial be laid on the table and printed. Mr. Polk moved his reference to the Committee of Ways and Means, and demanded the yens and nays on the motion for laying it upon ihe table. Mr. Binney called for the reading of the memorial; and it was read accordingly. The question ihen recurring upon laying it upon the table, the yens and nvys were taken, and resulted as follows yeas SO, nays 128. So the House refused to lay the memorial on the table. Mr. Polk's motion for its reference to tho Committee of Ways and Means being about lo be put. Mr. Chilton moved to amend it by adding instructions to the Committee to bring in a Joint Resolution ordering the Secretary to re-deposit in the Bank of the United States the public moneys which, by his order, have been removed from that institution. Mr. Chilton addressed the House at great length in support of his motion for instructions, in a speech, the report of which, must of necessity be deferred to another day. Mr. irOuffie, at tho close of Mr. Chilton's

speech, requested him to withdraw UU motion, ad the decision upon it would in some measure forestall the consideration of another motion now before ihe House.

Mr. Chilton, with some complimentary remarks, consented, and his motion was Withdrawn accord - inglv. The memorial wns then referred to tho committee of Ways and Means, and ordered to be printed. On motion of Mr. Hannegan, it was Resolved, That the Committee on Roads and

From the Indiana Journal, Jai. 1. By the proceedingsofihf. Lrgisliiure, in our pre. ceding columns, it will bo seen that the Bmk Bll, ! (an epitome of which was given in the last Jour nal.) is now in progress in both House?. As soon as it was read in the House of Representatives, on Monday a motion was made to reject it, which, it will be observed, was lost by a hrgo majority. The motion to reject, being a very strong one, it is presumed did not unite the votes of all who mav fin dj conclusive evidence that a decided majority of the House are in fivorof a Bank of some description; and if is quite probable that the bill will piss in some shape.

From the Indiana Democrat. A C.r.n. Having read ihe proceedings id" tha D mocraiic Uepublican Stale Convention recently held at Indianapolis, as published in ihe Democrat of ihe Hth insf., 1 learned therefrom that my name had hecn made use of by said Convention, for nomination as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, a! ihe next ejection. The nomination not having b?en poVclled by , nor was it mv wih to be a candid tte amen" Illl those from whom a chu'ci wis to b m id- yet the handsojii" rt'o give n nut in my abs-uice, by my friends, iu Convention assembled, from all parts of ihe Slate, representing, astmyh ; pres un. d, the feeling of their constituents, b:is placed me under obl'n ations tusaiil Convention, colh clivt ly and individually, and to their constituents; and which shall ever he cherished and rem inhered with feelings of eratiiude. Ami I will further say, i'i it to the nomination of Mr. Culley, : s a candidate for sod office, I respond a ch alull assent, and am much better pleased lhan had I been put in nomination. The warmth and bitterness thr.t of late usually alteud elections; consequent on ihe mode adopted and pursued by candidates for office, in traversing the State or district, and which custom Ins now rendered ir ccssiry, with a view to siieces.', has put it out of the power of some and desire of others, 1o embark as candidal! s in a political struggle and which mode of electioneering, if continued, must lead to deleterious consequence?. But in the present instance, I am gl id lo see presented to tho people, by the Convention, tho names of gentlemen as candidates for Gonernor and Lieutenant Governor, in whose political and moral bone sty the public may safely confide, and to promote whose several elcctletis, I, for one, catt yield a hearty co-operation.
