From the Jcffcrsonian (3n.) Republican. ELECTION FOli SENATOR. Tncnsn.vy. Nov. 20th. At three o'clock on this clay, the two houses met together for the purpose of eIecting a Senator to the U. States Senate, and the President of the Senate having nnnounccd from the chair that nominations were in order, Mr. Ashby of the Senate ihen rose and nominated Dr. Lewis F. Linn, whereupon Mr. King of Boone rose, and submitted something like the following remarks. Air. Pr3iin. It will Le recollected by the House, that on yesterday, a resolution was introduced, calling on the candidates
for the U. S. Senate, to give their views j and opinions in writing, on the various leading political questions that agitate the Union, and some of them particularly appertaining to the intercuts ol Missouri. Against that resolution, I felt it my duty ti vote, on tho ground that there was no candidate then presented for that office, that it was not known who would be tho candidates, and that the course to me was unprecedented. I had always believed, that when a resolution was adopted by the House, it should have something definite upon which it could be made to act; but the adoption of that resolution, presented n, case, to my mind, similar to a general search warrant, without specifying the place to be searched: and that the candidates for that high and responsible station, were by the resolution required to give their opinions, in writing, on the questions proposed. The consequence was, that no gentleman who was not at the seat of government, could be nominated with a reasonable prospect of success, if his opinions in writing was a prerequisite. Mr. President, I opposed the resolution upon another ground. I believed such a course to be unprecedented and unparliamentary. But, Mr. President, both houscs having assembled for the purpose of electing a Senator to the Congress of the U. S., Doct. Linn being the only candidate put in nomination, I respectfully ak, before I give my vote, if any gentleman feels himself authorised, to eie, to this house, the views of D ct. Linn, on the questions here proposed. I desire this information for my own benefit, for the benefit of those whom 1 have the honor to represent, and I have no doubt the information w ill be acceptable to the house, in order that each gentleman may be enabled to vote understanding' upon the subject. I nsk for the opinion ol Doct. Linn on the following points. 1st. What are his views upon the sub ject of a National Bank should the prcpen'.Bank of the U. S. be rechariered? If not, does he believe a National Bank necessary, expedient, or Constitutional ? Or docs he believe that the only currency known to tho Constitution, to be that of gold and silver. 2nd. What are his views upon the subject of a protective Tariff? Does he believe that Congress has the right to lay a Tariff duty exclusively for protection of domestic manufactories, or only incident nl to revenue.
3rd. What arc his views on the subject who believe in the fight of instruction, to ' this estimate will produce a contrary cfof Internal Improvement, and is he in fa-! the Memorial and instructions of the last j feet. Let the Bank pull off its mask, and vor of appropriations by the General Go- General Assembly on this beau unless tell the People who Sir.

States Senate, he would state the contents ol a letter received from Dr. Linn on that subject, which embraced the substance of the resolutions filrod uti yesterday. Whereupon, Dr. Penn having stated the content? r.f the letter. Mr. Gordon of Boone as-ked for the reading rf tho same, but the letter! Wiuz of a private character, Dr. 1 enn answered, that the House had no riiiht to;
demand f him hi- private correspon-, administration of the general government. ' dence; but ob-crved that toe gentleman j How gratifying it must be to our friends ; could read it for his own satislaclion : orjinoth'r sections of the Union to the if the House deired it, he himself would j President, and the gallant spirits w ho so rend i which Icing requested, and leave nobly sustained him in the conflict that' given that the same should be read.

And if such be the nccessary cousequnccs ot its establishment, ; the same course of conduct and the same j dangerous tendency of its influence upon ; the rights and liberties of the people, will j ultimately, in my opinion, be as complete-! ly developed as in the present. But in-j dependent of other consideration's,, it js j unconstitutional. The only cufVcncy ' known to the constitution, it appears to nfe is Gold and Silver, over which Congress i has control. I believe it never was inten-' ded by the framers of our great charier,! that paper money should bo our circula-! ting medium, or that corporations should j be created under the authority of that char- j ter to issue it. I I do not believe that Congress has the ; right to raise revenue for the direct pro-,' tcction of Manufactures. Protection should be i n c i d ental to revenue. ! Congress has in mv opinion the power ' of making appropriations for internal im-! provement of a National character, con- j scquently I voted during last session for : the repair and extension of the great Na-j tionnl road and for the improvement of the j navigation of several rivers. Should I be elected, I will sustain and vote, for continuing the Cumberland road West of the Mississippi, and for removing obstructions to the safe navigation of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Whatever may be my opinion upon the subject of the land , bill as it is called, it might be suliirient to ; referanditis surely sufficient for those ! injustice to the new States and strikes a serions blow at the purity ot conduct and the lofty considerations which should go - vern the Legislation of the old.

From the Zancsxilte Gazette ; Two Cases. Some weeks lince wa met tfith an acquaintance who had been a subscriber to our paper from the commencement, and the conversation turning upon the expense of supporting his fami. ly which was large, he remarked that ha could scarcely afford the expense of taking a paper, but added he, "it haa beea the means of making my children all readers.
