"pation which a majority cf the Senate have committed, it is necessary to bear in mind what the Treasury is. This 1 have endeavored to make plain. The attempt of a majority of the Senate to subvert the constitution as well as to punish the President for the proper exercise cf his constitutional functions, will next be examined and discussed. JEFFERSOX.

The following spirited resolutions vcre unanimously adopted by a meeting of the Republicans of Baltimore, held at Monument Square on the evening of tho 7th inst. They were offered by Col. Howard, a. son of the revolutionary patriot who turned the scale of victory at the battle cf the Cowpens: Whereas, measures have been recently adopted by the opponents of the National Administration, in this city, eminently calculated to agitate the public-mind, and to call for a reiterated expression of the firmness of its friends: Therefjre, be it Resolved, That the Jackson Republicans of Baltimore, retain the warmest feelings of gratitude, affection, and respect towards the venerable President of these United States, and repose entire confidence in the wisdom anil purity of his administration; and that they rcirard with disapprobation, exceeded onlv by their regret, the violence which characterizes the pcneral course of the opposition. -Resolved, That they decidedly condemn and utterly deplore the appeal to force from the decision of the ballot box, which has been so repeatedly urged by leading members of the opposition in Conres, and their partizans of the press, and among the people; because, whilst so rash and mistaken a course would fail to change the measures of the administration, or shake the resolution of its friends, it would, in lawless disregard of the injunctions of the constitution, introduce confusion into a now peaceful community, and bring lasting discredit upon our republican institutions. Resolced, That it is the essential principle of our government, that the popular vill should be deliberately consulted and truly expressed upon all questions of a national policy; that the President has, throughout his administration, faithfully conformed to the wishes of the people, clearly manifested, and that in the "late Executive proceedings in relation to the public revenue,'1 he has not "assumed to himself authority and power, not conferred by the constitution and laws," or "in derogation" of either. Resolved, That, in the opinion of this meeting, the present crisis is pregnant vith the fate of our national institutions; that a contest is wagit-g between the popular and the aristocratic priuciplc, upon the issue of -which it will depend whether the American people shall continue free. Resolved, That under the auspices of a political party, marshalled by leaders cf distinguished abilities, a moneyed corporation, created for national purposes by the national legislature, but which has proved superior to and regardless of legislative restraint; a corporation which avowedly controls the whole industry of the country; which, by its insidious and oppressive policy, has carried distress and ruin into the dwellings of thousands; now collects its energies for the vital struggle which shall decide the question of supremacy between itself and the people. Am bitious aspirants for political station, and rr.any well-meaning but mistaken citizens, have enlisted in its cause. Private patronage is lavished or withdrawn to seduce or intimidate oppostiton, and an unlimited control over the treasury of the Bank (including what belongs to the nation) is placed at the disposal of a single oflicer, to be applied as he sees fit for the promotion of its designs. Against this vast array of influence and power, but confident rn'the virtue and patriotism of his countrymen, Andrew Jackson stands, the undismayed champion of the people. On their intelligence he relies to sustain their dearest rights. To their justice he appeals for the vindication of his private honor, and on either issue they will firmly sustain him. Resolved, That the Jackson Republicans of Baltimore disapprove and deeply regret the conduct of a majority of the Senate of these United States, in assuming, in its capacity as a legislative body, judicial authority; and in recording, in violation of decorum, justice, and the spirit of the constitution, and in conteujptuous disregard of the known will of the constituents of several who concurred in the act, a sentence of condemnation againl the President for measures, which, had they been of the character imputed, would justly have subjected him to an impeachment, for the unprejudiced trial of which the Senate, under the constitution, is the d'siguatcd tribunal. Resolved, That in this perversion of the binh fuuciions of the Senate, is displayed the consummation of a system of persecution which has been continued against Andrew Jackson from the close of1 the late war, when he was found in the enjoyment of vast and well-earned popularity, when it was foreseen what au obstacle he would prove to the career of ambi liou rivals. Hence, that unsuccessful struggle to tear from hi brow the laurels of the Seminole campaign. Hence the hardy attempt to cross the popular design to raise him to tho Presidency. Hence the declaration of uncompromising oppooita..?t iL'ltnn t-tirk f riC lit l t llrnt r f n!.'in ttlf li:itW of itTi('( nrwl tho rnnrgn .('! his administration was yet unknown. : Jecce the unprecedented spectacle, which

so long offend? d the dclicaey of the American people, of an individual, notoriously a candidate for the highest office in their gift, traversing the country to utter inflammatory harrangues and fill the public ear with abuse of his rival. Resolved, That the unjust course pursued by the Senate, is the more reprehensible, as having been etTected undercover of evasive generalities, by an unnatural coalition of nullifiers and determined op

ponents of State rights, for the purpose of embarrassing the administration ot Andrew Jackson, whose moderation and firmness, in carrying into effect the popular will, have controlled the errors of both. CONGRESSIONAL HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS. Mr. BOON asked the unanimous consent of the House to take up the joint resolution, heretofore submitted by him, fixing a day (the 31st instant) for the adjournment of Congress. Objections having been madeMr. BOON moved a suspension of the rule, to enable him to have it taken up, intimating, at the same time, if his motion should prevail, it was his intention to modify the resolution, by inserting Monday the 16th of next month, in lieu of the day named for adjournment. The motion to suspend was decided in the affirmative, yeas 15'J, nays 12. Mr. BOON then said, he was desirous to repel an unfounded attack which was made upon him, for having previously submitted the resolution to adjourn. The attack was made in a communication, dated on the 17th April last, from the House of Representatives, and was inserted in the Telegraph. The writer of it had impugned his motives, had asserted that he had submitted the resolution in a thin House, and that ho was actuated, from that statement, by an insidious motive to have it passed in a thin House. After quoting the article, Mr. B. said, that the writer of it was unknown to him, but be he whomsoever he might, he pronounced that it was a false and base calumny, and was done with knowledge aforethoufjht. For it would be in the recollection of Members in the House that when he first proposed the resolution fixing the time for Congress to adjourn, so far from desiring to press it in a thin House, upon the suggestion of a friend near him, (R. M. Johnson,) that the House was thin, he had acceeded to the propriety of his suggestion to postpone, and did then postpone it for the very reason. The writer would convey the idea, that in submitting the resolution he was under 'the dictation of Imperial Majesty, or had done so in compliance with the wishes of the Kitchen Cabinet." This idea, however, he must altogether repel; it was too contemptible, it was undeserving and unbecoming the notice of any man, and he should not have noticed the matter at all, were it not to repel the insinuation that he was actuated by an insidious motive in proposing the resolution. He would not hold himself accountable to any tribunal on earth sae to his constituents. He now proposed to modify the resolution to read as follows: Resolved, That the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, close the present session of Congress by an adjournment of their respective Houses on Monday the 10th day of June next. Mr. MANN, of Penn. called for the Yeas aud Navs, which were ordered. Mr. FOSTER said that altho' he was no creat stickler for the observance of the Sabbath, yet he did not desire to see it profaned, when it could possibly be avoided. He presumed that if the resolution was to adjourn on a Monday, there was scarcely a doubt but that the previous Sunday would be devoted to the transaction of business. He, therefore, suggested, that Saturday, the 1 1th, should be fixed, and he submitted an amendment to that efTect Mr. CHILTON said that, in order to bring up the printing of the Journal, Tuesday, the 17th, would be the better day, and propossd an amendment in accordance. The amendment fixing Saturday was then rejected. Mr. WARDWELL having renewed it, it was rejected. The question then being on the adoption of the resolution, Mr. EWING moved to amend it by adding "provided the essential business of the People, which demands the action of Congress, be then determined." Mr. ANTHONY desired to know how the previous question was to be determined upon. Mr. FWING replied, that it was in the power of everv member to determine what was essential to the interests of his constituents; for his part, he knew that his constituents expected that tho business, interesting to them, should be despatched before they would think of adjourning. He called tor the Yeas and Nays on his amendment. The House refused to order them; and the question having been taken on his a mendment, it was rejected. Mr VINTON desired to be informed by the chairman of the Committee of j Wavs and Means, if it was his intention ; to call up the bill reported by that Com-j imttecto regulate me terms, ccc. upon which the public depositee were to be made in the State Banks, previous to any adjournment I Mr. POLK replied, that, so far as he

was concerned, and knew the opinion of those with whom he acted, it was his and their intention to bring up that subject, ?

and press it upon tho consideration of the House. This, he would take the earliest opportunity of doing, and which would be as soon as the remaining pppropriation bills were acted upon. Mr. ARCHER desired to know how many of them were undisposed of? Mr. POLK said there were five, report ed from the Committee of Ways and Means, which he was desirous to have speedily acted upon, viz: one making ap propriaUons fer the Indian Department; one fir certain fortifications for the year 1634; one for Indian Annuities, and other similar objects; one for continuing the Cumberland Road, in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and repairing said road east of the Ohio, and continuing certain Territorial roads; and one making additional appropriations for the improvement of certain harbors, and removing obstructions in the mouths of certain rivers. There was a bill in relation to West Point Academy, and others of importance, from other committees (said Mr. P.) yet to be acted upon; he, therefore, hoped that the House would be disposed to immediately consider and act promptly upon the appropriation bills. Mr. VINTON said, as the Chairman of the committee of Ways and Means had thus announced his determination not to call up the bill which was, in his judgment, of more importance than any of those which he had named, and which, when called up, he believed would occupy all the time, from this period until the day named for adjournment, ho could not consent to fix a day for adjourning, until the hill he alluded to was disposed of. Mr. HARDIN remarked, that ho had for some time a memorial to present to the House from his constituents, but which from present appearances, he was not to have it in his power to present. He took this occasion to state, it was from tho farmers of his district, and they set forth the great pressure under which they were now laboring, agricultural produce being reduced from 40 to GO per cent. Thev attribute all this to the derangement of the currency. And, among other resolutions, they had expressly instructed him not to votoforan adjournment until something was done towards chartering a National Bank. They believed that this was the only means to remedy the evils they complain of, and the amendment proposed on this subject by the member from Illinois, (Mr. Duncan,) was, he tho't, worthy of their consideration. According to the instructions sent him, he could not vote tor the resolution. Mr. CHILTON, believing that little good would result from a protracted session, was willing to vote for the adjournment. The debate was here arrested, by a motion submitted by Mr. PLUMMER, to proceed to the orders of the day, which motion prevailed ayes 84, noes 78. From the Terrc Haute Courier. IMPROVEMENTS BY CANALS IN INDIANA. To the people of the valley of tho Wabash, it is proposed that the Wabash and Erie Canal bo extended to Mount Vernon on the Ohio river. No improvement short of that will answer your purpose. It is vain to talk ot stopping the Canal short of Lafayette, and it should be enlarged and continued to the Ohio river, of such demcnsions as will admit Mat boats to be iadened tor New Orleans, with Flour, Pork, and Corn, to pass down the Canal to the Ohio, and then descend the river, as at present. An increase of 10 to 15 feet in breadth, and one foot in depth of water will answer every purpose. Each farmer can then load his boat at his own door, as it were, and by one horse power carry it to the Ohio, and descend the Ohio and Mississippi, as they now do. To make our improvements complete, a Canal along White Water to La wrenceburgh, one along both branches of White water, commencing at or above Columbus, and Andersontown, to intersect the Wabash Canal, and a Canal from the Wabash at or near the falls above Logansport, to Indianopolis All these works are demanded by the abundance of produce that can be raised and shipped from the interior of our State, and it is within the ability of the State, in a few years, to complete all these works, I have no doubt. Were these works completed, that our produce could bo shipped in October and November, it could reach New Orleans by the 12th or 20th of December, and New York or the Southern ports in January, instead ot being locked up by ice and low water, as is the case, until March. Our farmers would receive one third more for their produce, and the return cargo would be received at and above Terre Haute as early as we can now get out of the Wabash and White Rivers. No citizen of the valley of these rivers where water can be had to feed a Canal, should sutler himself misled bv the rail road project. Rail Roads arc "useful and may be constructed where there is no wa-1 ter to feed a canal, as is the case between Indionapolis and Lawrcnceburgh. Canals can be constructed without sending to Europe for iron, and without pay ing freight to ship and steamboat owners who reside in other States. Every cart load of earth removed in the construction of a Canal finds employ, and furnish the means of payment to the poorest, but indubious and most useful class of our citizens. Whcu a Canal, is finished every ruaa can use his gwq hoit on

the CANAL, to convey his produce to market. It is not so with the rail road. No cani-ige but the rail road car can be used on the road; consequently, while the Canal is of general use to all men, the Rail Road is a monopoly to the wealthy, and do not suit us as well as a Canal along the valleys of our rivers. We need not fear a debt contracted for Internal Improvements, provided thb use of the work, when finished, will defray the interest of the sum expended in its construction, and a very small portion of the principal debt annually; and that all the Canals that I hive proposed above will do this, I cannot doubt. Not having leisure, at this time, to go into details, I have thrown out general views, and invite the closest scrutiny from those who deem these sunffestions worth notice. Everv

citizen 6f the prairie country is deeply interested in the continuation of the Wabash Canal, to cheapen the transportation of coal from the coal batiks; ;and the citizens a of other sections of the State cannot lone be indifferent to the fact that a water conveyance will cheapen all their operations to a market. Editors favorable to Internal Improvements are requested to srive the above a place in their papers, and gentlemen dif- ...... . v 14wU. im. "iiiw, am iuVltPil to 1 ill vited to a discussion of this important sub ject, by ONE OF THE PEOPLE. WABASH AND ERIE CANAL. Se veral additional sections of this canal were last week put under contract, making with the part already in progress, 40 miles, the whole of which, by the stipulations of the contracts, is to be completed on or before the 10th of October, 1S33. The line now under contract extends from the Maumee River, at Fort Wayne, to the Treaty Ground, in Wabash county, and it is in tended to put a further portion of tin work under contract as early in the ensuing summer as the necessary arrangements can be made. A party of engineers is now busily employed locating the line of the canal from the Treaty Ground to the mouth of the Misbissincwa. From the vast amount of labor to be performed on this canal during the present and succeeding season, a fine opportunity will be afforded to the laboring classes, in those parts of the country where employment is scarce, to locate themselves in a more favorable situation, where they will be sure of employment at good wages. The commissioners expressly reserve to themselves the right of paying the laborers, out of any money due the contractors, in case the latter should refuse or neglect so to do. The work put under contract includes two aqueducts, two largo dams and several locks and culverts, which will give employment to a number of mechanics as well as laborers. FOREIGN NEVt'S. The New York papers of yesterday bring the news of the arrival of the Bark Turro from Havre. No great movement has yet given an indication of a change in the aspect of European affairs. Things, however, seem unsettled. The newly appointed Ministry iu France are received with dissatisfaction by the People. In Bejgium there had been great disturbances, and also in Lyons. Spain is still convulsed with intestine dissention. The convocation of the Cortes is looked for with great impatience. Austria and Russia are busied in subjugating the yearnings for freedom, cherished by the liberal spirit which is abroad in Europe. Globe. From the (N. Y.) Journal of Commerce. FR03I ENGLAND. The ship St. Lawrence, arrived this morning from Liverpool, brings a London paper of April 4th. It contains the important intelligence that the French Chamber of Deputies had, by a vote of ICS to 170, rejected the bill appropriating twentyfive millions of francs, to carry into effect the treaty with the Uuited States. In consequence of this vote, the Duke de Broglia, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and General Sebastiani, Minister of State, have retired from the Ministry. A French gentleman well acquainted with the politics of his country, remarked last week, that he did not expect the bill Wnilld iilifC nt thia lima Tiw. I ot the chamber, he said, were many of them not thoroughly ghly versed in American . . .... affairs, but they would probably determine differently hereafter. Dijiculty with the opposition Leaders. We understand that Messrs Calhoun and Webster of the triumvirate, are in favor of running Judge M?Lean as their candidate for the Presidency. To this, their most august head, Mr. Clay, solemn. ly protests indeed, it is said, that he has publicly declared that he would rather support Mr. Van Buren, than the Jud lor that office' Wonderful" tht I... man extremty could induce Mr. Clay to vote for tho "Little Magician." Those who are astonished at the lde th-t fClay would bo driven to such a step, in such a contingency, know nothing of that man. We know him, and have observed his course and hazard nothiug in savin" that he will never yield his consent'tha" any man shall be run by the opposition for that office, than himself. And that to effect his own ambitious views, there is no man whom he would not countenance, and no principle that he would not advocate. Frankfort (Ay.) Argus.

The Quarterly Review, edited by Mr, WaUb, is the periodical which, in its last number, urged the propriety of passing laws to deprive all aliens of tho right cf suffrage. is insisted that it was cnourli to admit the children of foreigners to the privilege of voting! Now mark this fact; 07" This same Qmrtcrly Review is the periodical which President Biddle was authorized to patronise by an order cf tha Board giving him unlimited power to c iculatc its articles at the expense of the Bank. Among the publications ordered, i.ie iuarieriy is cesignated by name, in the resolution of the Board, as is shorn in the Report cf the Government Dine tors. Drsrxiox. A writer in the Boston Courier openly approves of a separation of the New England States from the rest of TTninn IF CI -a tKlt atrttil a cently he would kavc considered it'treasou to nave encouraged such a proposition : dui ne is now convinced that there is no treason in it. Well, it is really wonderful what the Bank of the United States has accomplished. Such is the extent of its influence, and such th strength of tho attachment of some men to its interests, that propositions which but a few months since would have been universally regarded as treasonable, are now countenanced and encouraged bv its adherents as highly commendable and meritorious. Twelve months since, the Bank men in Philadelphia almost desired that Mr. McDurfic and his Nullify ing friends might be hung without Judge or Jury ; and they proposed to raise men to march into South Carolina, and put down their doctrines at the point or the bayonet; but now Mr. McDuflio is greeted by them as something moro than mortal, his doctrines applauded, anil his sentiments responded to as the very essence of political orthodoxy and patriotism! If such be tho fruits w hich are produced from the management of th Bank, what must be the impression w hich it must produce upon every patriotic mind ? Alas for poor human nature! Such is tho corrupting and the controlling influence of money upon minds which regard a little gain as preferable to the preservation of the liberties of the country, that they will sacrifice any thing, and sanction any thing, to acquire it. But the great mass of the American People are not thus sordid. They will not sell their birth-right for a mess of pottage Bait. Rep. From the Pcnnfylcanian WORTHY OF IMITATION. The Rev. John Hughes, of this city, was invited while in Pittsburgh to partake of the revelries of the wig jubilee, in honor of the beating they received in New York. Mr. Hughes promptly, and in a manner creditable to his heart and head, declined the invitation, on the very proper ground that a clergyman should not mingle in tho angry strife of party. Wo subjoin his letter, and recommend it to tho attention of sundry clergymen, who havo need of the very proper lesson it contains. Gentlemen: In begging leave to decline the pleasure of a compliance with your kind invitation of this morning, I have but to repeat the motives which I suggested in conversation with the committee by whom your note of invitation was presented My engagements are numerous durin my shortstay in Pittsburgh; but beside? this, knowing that there are excellent citizens arrayed on opposite sides of tho great political question which is now agitating the public mind, I feel that it tzould be indelicate in me, as a clergyman, to join in any public celebration cf a triumph gained by one portion of citizens over the principles or opinions of another portion. I do not say that a clergyman should not entertain and express on suitable occasions his political principles and opinions. Yet I hold it as a rule for my own l .. . guidance, that the less he mingles in the troeti elements of political riralship. the betterJr nuelf, for religion, and I f .
