Courier and En. quirtr is unequivocally in favor of Taylor as the whig candidate for President, and Webster fur Vice President. It says j 'The election of Taylor and Webster would not only insure us a wise and successful administration ! of the g.iverment for the next four years, but it will ! contain a promise likewise fur the hereafter four years; for nobody can doubt but that, in such an t event, Daniel Webster, if living, would succeed Gen. ! Taylor." 1 On the other hand, the Tribune, is still f r Clay j and against Taylor. It observes : j "Mr. Clay has long been the acknowledged leader! of the whig party ; was its last candidate for President, and barely, unfairly defeated; is more beloved, j esteemed, and co. tided in by the wings to-day than any other can be. He has been suggested in various j tuartirs as the whig candidate next time, but has not ; tigniticd his assent. He says he shall not be a can- J didate unless there shall be a call upon him which , shall render it his duty to accept. Gen. Taylor aj man utterly unknown as a whig or as a civilian in ! any way, until within the lat year or so ha also ' been proposed. He declines to answer questions cal- j culated to test li devotion to whig principles; de-1 clings to t-ny that he will aLide, the choice of a whig ; national convention, or of the whig party, in tiny j way; declines to say he will support Mr. Clay, if j iioiiui ntid; but says he will run anyhow, nominated, i or not in unrated, whig candidate or no whig candi- i date. To suppose that Mr. Clay would, under such; circumstances, volunteer to decline in favor of Gen. j Taylor, is to pay a poor compliment to his political ! integrity or his self-respect." j Touching the same subject, the Washington cor- j respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, writes as fol- j lows : ! "Mr. Cay, as I have said in a former letter, has no , idea of accommodating certain politicians, and least ; of all, is he willing to make a Vice President berth' for Mr. Webster. His affections for that distingui-h- ! ed gentleman, are about as wann as to-day's Intelligencer's welcome of his ow n peron, and his disposi- I tion to serve him equal to Iiis luve for the man. Mr. Clay will rally his friends to a stand m the principles ' avowed by him in his Lexington speech ; but whether he will be able to goern the convention, is quite another question. Should he succeed in this, then it is pretty certain three candidates will be in the held; ; should he fail, his proud spirit will not stand rebuke, ; and his blessings will not be on his deserting friends. ; The rumor of Mr. Clay's withdrawal was altogether J premature, and too great a draft on his self-denial, j Mr. Clay is not the person to allow his friends to ! chalk ut a course for him; he prefers tracing that , which his friends are to follow. j 'Mr. Clay's reception was cordial somewhat sim- j ilar to the return of a prince to his own res.dence, fron) which he was drien by a revolution and has; r,jite animated the hopes of the friends of restoration. ' I cannot tell you when his cose in the Supreme Court ; will come on ; lut that he will argue his own case satisfactorily, I have no manner of doubt.' Notwithstanding all this, we have little doubt that i Mr. Clay will be thrust off the track', and that the! whigs will follow in the wake of the Taylor men in i full cry. The Clay men will be obliged to support j the military hero, however much it may go ngaintj the grain ; and the best of the joke will be, if Taylor j should te elected, thty will not get the otlices which ' they ccet so mucn. ine lay lor men win ta Keinem all. frV"Tiie Washington Union of the lOlh instant says of the position and speech of Mr. Johnson, of j Maryland : ! ".Mr. Ileverdy Johnson addressed the Senate to-day j in a written speech upon the war. It was distin- j iruished by nreat ability and eloquence. Tin? tirst portion was elaborate, and fortified by strong documentary arguments. It demonstrated that our war n;aint Mexico was a just war. It took the side of the United States as to the boundary claimed by our administration. He successfully cleared himself of the charge of falsehood in voting for the preamble to the law which declared the existence of the war which Mexico had waged against the United State. This portion of the speech was admirable, and forms j an irresistible argument in behalf of the war which 1 we are carrying on with .Mexico. Hut the hW, and ! mucli the shortest part of the Mteech, w as verv unsat-! jsfaetory. It charged the President with bringing on the war by the alternative; which he had adopted in carrying into effect the resolution for the annexation of Texas : und Üd, by the order winch had been ishu d to i ten. 'I aylor tor marching to the Kio Hravo. We r.VCUse the last part of the r-pecch for the ake of the former. Differing, as we do, from Mr. Johnson, on the proximate reasons which he contend brought on the war, wc cannot help admiring the masterly mam er in which he has stood up for the rights of his country." tjrS pea king of the professional pursuits of the members of the Legislature, the Madison Courier says "The proportion of farmers is very fair, and not more than it should be. They compose the fly wheel in legislation keep things regular, and prevent irregularities which would inevitably occur were the majority composed ot lawyers. In the loregoing statement several are set down as farmers, who are in reality lawyers. They perhaps own some land, and ashamed of their real occupation, they therefore dress themselves (though genuine Wolves,) in sheep's clothing. There are entirely too many lawyers, quite enough physicians, and too few mechanics too fewpractical men." The Courier may be right, but the people don't think so. All other things being equal, they general--lv prefer lawyers t men of any other profession, perhaps on the score of economy. Texas. Gen. Lamar, a member of the House of Representatives from Lorado, has introduced the following resolutions into the Legislature: "A joint resolution protesting against the relinquishment to Mexico of the country south and west .f the Ilio Grande, conquered by and in possession of the United States; read first time. "A joint resolution, respecting the incorporation of a portion or the conquered provinces or states or the Republic of Mexico into the State of Texas, with the consent of the United States ; read first time." 07-The Nantucket Inquirer draws a discouraging picture of the prospects of the Whaling business in that place. Since the year 1533, the whaling fleet has diminished fifteen sail, by shipwreck, sales, &c. Si much the more room for lard oil. The Washington correspondent of the Ohio Statesman ays that 'the story that some northern Postmaster is a defaulter, appearing first in the New York Sun, in a Roorback, I kam, on application to the Denirtu.eut." The bark Santee, w hich recently sailed from Bos toa, carried out a handsome and powerful Fire Engine buiu by order of the Turkish Government for use at ConeUntinopIe.

'resident's UIs:i;; ON RETURN OF SANTA ANNA TO .MEXICO. To the House of Representatives of the V. States : I have carefully considered the resolution of the House of Represent itives of the 1th instant, requesting the President to communicate to that House "any instructions which may have been given to any of the officers of the army or navy of the United States, of other persons, in regard to the return of President

General Lopez de Santa Anna, or any other Mexici n, to the republic of Mexico, nrior or subsentient to the order of the President or Secretary of War, issued in January, lS lii, for the march of the army from the Nueces river across Mho stupendous deserts which intervene to the Rio Grande; that the date of ill such instructions; orders, and correspondence be set forth, together with the instructions and orders issued to Mr. Slidell, at any time prior or subsequent to his departure for Mexico, as minister plenipotentiary of the United States to that republic," and requesting the P resident also to "communicate all the orders and correspondence of the government in relation to the return of Gen. Pa redes to .Mexico." I transmit, herewith, reports from the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, and the Secretary of the Navy, with the documents accompanying the same, which contain all the information in the posses-ion of the Executive which it is deemed compatible with the public interests to communicate. For further information relating to the return of Santa Anna to Mexico, I refer you to my annual message of December 8lh, IS 10. The facts and consid erations stated in that message induced the order of the Secretary uf the Navy to the commander of our squadron in the Gulf of Mexico a copy of which is herewith communicated. This order was issued simultaneously with the order to blockade the coasts of Mexico, both bearing date the l'J;h of May, ISM), the day on which the war with Mexico was recognised by Congress. It was issued solely upon the views of policy presented in that message, and without any understanding on the subject, direct or indirect, with Santa Anna or any other person. General l'arad'es evaded the vigilance of our combitted force- by land and sea, and made his way back to Mexico from the exile to which he had been driven, landing at Vera Cruz, after that city and the castle of San Juan d'Ulioa were in our military occupation, as will t'ppear from the accompanying reports and documents. The resolution calls for "the instructions and orders ip.-ued to Mr. SlulelJ nt any time prior or subsequent to his departureto Mexico as .Minister Plenipotentiary of the Uni'ed States to that republic." The customary and usual reservation contained in calls of either house of Congress t.p n the Executive for information relating to our intercourse with foreign nations has been omitted in the resolution hi fore me. The call of the House is unconditional. It is, that the information requested he communicated, and the reby te made public; whether, in the opinion of the Executive, who is charged bv the constitution with the duty of conducting negotiations with foregn powers, such information, when disclosed, would be prejudicial to the public interests or not. It has teen a subject of serious deliberation w ith rne, whether I could, con-si-tently with tny constitutional duty and my sense of the public interots involved and to be affected by it, violate cn important principle, always heretofore held sactcd by tny predecessors, as I should do by a compliance with the request of the House, President ashingt n, in a message to the House of Representatives of the I.Oih of March, 1'J0, declined to comply with a request contained in a resolution of that tody, to lay before them "a copy of the instructions to ti e rr.inister of the United States who negotiated the treatv with the King of Gre at Rritain" , "together with the correspondence and either docu- ' ments relative to the said treaty, excepting such of the said papers as any existing negotiations may render improper to be disclosed." In assigning Ins. reasons for declining to comply with the call, he declafed thut "the nature of foreign negotiations requires caution, and their fucccsh must often depend on secresy; and een when brought to a o nclusion, a full disclosure of all the measures, demands, and eventual concession-, which may have- Iren proposed or contemplated, would he extre me ly impolitic ; fortius might have a pernicious influence em 'uture negotiations, or produce immediate" inconveniences, peihaps danger and mischief, in relation to either powers. The necessity ot such caufie-n and setresy was eine coo en t reason for vesting the pow er of making treatie s in the President, w ith' the advice and consent of the Senate; the principle on which that body was formed, confining it to a small number of members. To admit, then, aright in the House of Representatives to demand, and to have, as a matter of course, all the papers respecting u negotiation with a foreign power, .vould be !o establish a dangerous precedent." In that case the instructions and documents calle d for related to a treaty which had been concluded and ratilied by the President and Senate, and the negotiations in relation to it had been terminated. There was an express reservation, too, "excepting" from the call all such papers as related to "any existing negotiations' which it might he improper to disclose. In that case, President Wa-hingtou deemed it to he a violation of an important principle, the establishment of a "dangerous preredent," and prejudicial to the public intercuts, to comply with the -all of the Heu-e. Without deeming it to be necessary, on the present occasion, te examine er eleciele upon the othe-r reasons aign' el by him, for his refusal to communicate the information re-epie-ted by the House, the euo which is herein rerited is, in my judgment, conclu sue ill tin? case; under consideration. Indeed, the objections to comply ing with the request of the House-, contained in the resolution be fore me, are much stronger than tho-e which e-xi-ted in the case of the resnlution of WM't. This resolution calls for "the iü-trurtions and orders'' to the minister eif the United State to .Mexico, w hich relate to negotiations which have not bee n te rminate-d, and which may bo resumed. The information cul!eJ for, respects negnliatiohs, which the: Uiuteii Slates offered to open with -Mexico immediately preceeling the commencement Ot the existing war. The instruction's given to the ministcr of the United States relate to the differences be-iv.ee-n the two countries, eut of wnich the war grenv, und tiie te-rtns of adjustment which we were prepared to offer to .Mexico in our anxiety to prevent the war. Tli'.se difference's still remain unsettle d ; and to comply witli the call of the House, would be to make public, through that channel, and to communicate to Mexice, now a public enemy engageel in war, information which could not fail to produce seriou embarrassment in any future negotiation between the two countries. 1 have heretofore communicated to Congress nl'the correspondence ed the m.u.sier of the; United States to .Mexico, which, in the existing ta!e of our relations with that republic, can, in my judgment, be at this time communicated without serious injury to the public interest. Entertaining this cemviction, and with a sincere desire to furnish any information which may be in the possession of the Executive Department, and which either house of Congress may at any time re epiest, I regard it to be- my constitutional right, and my solemn duty, under thecircumstances of this case, to decline a compliance with the reepiest eif the House, contained in their resolution. JAMES K. POLK. Washington', Jan. UJ.ISIS. The two packet lines between Louisville and Cincinnati have reduced the price of fare, and are now charging only $1 lor cabin pasnge and TA) cents for deck passage. The cabin passage in the mail steamers between these two cities, was formerly It is absolutely cheaper to travel in these boats than to stay at home. (y-A Washington letter in the New York Courier Bays: The question whether General Scott, Worth and Pillow are to be recalled, was at full length debited in the Cabinet meeting of yesterday, and I believe they w ill be called home, were it but to give the army a lesson of obedience to the institutions and laws of their country. fjT-Messrs. Cokcokan !t Utoos, of Washington, presented to their clerks on on New Years day, handsome presents commencing with their chief clerk&t one thousand dollars, and grading it along do; n to a boy engaged as messenger, to whom was given one hundred dollars.

Neal was in favor of adopting the re-olution. The his oiy of coiporations in this country was lemaikaMe. l'heie was no paiallel to the evil. Chancellor Kent, had aigued ably in f ivor of the liability clause. Oihei legislatures had seen the evil of granting coiporati ns without the liability clause. Massachusetts New Votk, and Georgia, had, and now in all cases required this piovtsi on. Those States found it absolutely necessaiy to have those clauses inseited, to pievent the tuinou consequences resulting fiom irresponsible coipoiations. The inteiests ot the people demanded it. Theie was no diifeience in pnuciple between chaiteied companies, and individual paittM iships. He looked upon the policy of giantii g chaileis without this clause as cxintnely dangfious. Hcie Mr. Neal lead from Kent aiguments in favor ef that clause. He aked if gentlemen were not disposed tJ repaid Chancellor Kent's opinions upon this subject ? Let us now adopt some piinciple foi our action. The clause was for the purpose of a check upon the conduct of those companies.

It seemed to him to be the true policy of the legislatuie to guaid the inteiets of the people, in icfeience to those iirc-spon-i-ble companies. If woiks cannot be accomplished without this clause, it would be better to have a delay in their completion. Mr. Reiser, aid theie was not capital enough in the State ! tu cany ou woiks of the kind. If the liability cliuse ; was in-ei ted, no foreign capital would be invested in impiov ements. f indiv iduals wei i liable for the failures of j the companies, llieie would be no induct ments foiinveslincuts It was to his inieiest to have a Kailmad to net to the capital horn Allen c unty, as it was a muddy inconvenient road; and he thought in Ihecouiseof bitten years the Kailioad would be completed in that time, and in the cooi.-e of natuie he expected to live longer tlun that time, and he did not doubt but he would repie-ent old Allen aaiu. Mr. Kinney staled he did noi iccollect that a manufacturing compmy ever failed; uudeiing a loss to the company. He made a distinction between moneyed, and manufacturing cmpimc!. He would vote against any restriction of this kind on attempts to impiove the countiy. Laige dealeis willalwavs take c:iie of themselves labi reis, the ;oor will not sutler, for they will be paid as their wages become due. I lie i e W is in this State, iion ntbcient to supply the whole woihl, and of coal aN.. Wa it lisht to clo the facilitiei nf uing this m itenal ? Fifty years hence we may ee cities in this Slate. There should be no clegs to manufacture! s in this Stute. Mi. De Hiuler s aid the people of thin State are an agiiculluial pioplc. 1'ioduce, would l e iaised in the state any how, and all biouht in by manufactuies would be clear gain. Manufactuies should then be encouiaged. Mi. Hooding then suggested another amendment; laid on the til le. Mi. McDonald i f L. temaiked, it was the gcnetally lereived opinion that individuals should be liable for their d Lts. It individual should te li.ttle, ro should associated individual, lie vlmuM vote for ihe resolution. M i. Lane said if institutions of this kind could be encounjicd with sucJiclauses.it would be well to have them in the cli.uti'is. Hut it could not be dne. It was the policy of Ihe State to induce capital to be invested in the Mate. It could not be done with this clause. He was will ing to mcoipoiate the piinciple of pioiectnm of the people in this State, so far as wa consistent with the encouiagement of the investment of capitil in the Stale. It would Hot do to inseit this clause in manufactuiin companies. The resolution was not adopted by the following Vote: Those voting in the alliimnive, weie, Messm.
