EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Washington City, Jan. 20, 1S10. Sir: There is to he a Democratic Na tional Convention, to meet at Baltimore in the spring, for the purpose of consulting together and selecting the most suitable person to be run on the ticket with Mr. VanBuren, for the Vice Presidency. And it is obvious, that it lies between two men who shall get the nomination; the present incumbent, Richard M. Johnson of Ken tucky, and William R. King of Alabama. And that the latter gentleman would get it, there has scarcely been a doubt. That Col. King is eminently qualified for the place, no one who has had an opportunity of witnessing with what superiority he pre sides over that dignified body, as President pro tern, of the Senate of the United States, will pretend to deny. He has been in Congress near thirty years; first as a Representative from his native Slate, North Carolina, and since as Senator from his adopted State, Alabama. He was elected to the State Legislature be fore he was twenty-one years of age, ami to Congress before he was twenty-five; he however, attained that age before the time of taking his seat. lie was honored with the confidence of the people of North Carolina from the days of his youth; nor did he find a less wantof confidence reposed in him by the people of Alabama. He had not more than placed his foot upon her soil, with a view of be coming a resident, before lie was chosen o delegate to the Statu Convention to frame her constitution; and soon after elected Senator t Congress, which high & distin guished station he has continued to fill uo to the present time. lie lias ever been an unwavering Demo cratic Republican. Those pi incples "com menced with him in his youth, and he has continued through his whole hfL- to advo cate and maintain them. No m.-m who lias been so long. in public life, can boast of u more consistent and undeviating course He has always been the same staunch Re publican, from boyh-iod up to (he proent period. His manners and department in private and social life, as well as in public and political relations, are bv nature so easy and affable, that he is not only respec ted but almost beloved by his acquaint ances. No man could be placed upon the ticket that could possibly be so unobjec tionable, and would give as much satisfac tion to the public generally, as Col. KLig. Some of the leading Democratic papers in the State of IVnmy Ivania have long since hoisted the King flrg; one of which 1 here with send you. They bv lieve, and it is generally b. li-vr d hereabout and all Noith of this, that he is Ihe only man that can g t the nomination fmm Col. Johnson; and that it the former does not suneecel, the latter eeit duly will. There can be no ctonbt olthetrudiofthis, and the pco, le thould act accordingly, if lhcy nT t 11 1.-. llmic !

King, why not mop all others and go tully anu waning iw , uipport, as in that event lucre can no no- thin" moro certain tlvui mey can gen mm. But as 1 have said belore, that itjs to dc one of the two, Col. Johnson or Col. King, there is not the shadow ot a doubt, andrnothing remains to be done but to ,m (p between them. As for my part, 1 am for King, others may go'for whom they please, and 1 am sure that's fair enough. CONGRESS. In the Senate, on the 30ih ults Mr. Grun dy, from the select committee on the sub ject, submitted a report on Mr. Denton's resolution, relating to the assumption of State deb's. It argued at length, and with treatability, the unconstitutionality and in expediency of the assumption of Slate debts by the General Government, and concluded with resolutions of ti e same te nor. An animated discussion v;s elicited bv the report. In the House of Representatives, on the 30th ult. Mesr-rs. Blair &. Rives, Editorso! I he Globe, were elected Printers to the House of Representatives for the twvnty sixtli Congress, by a majority of 13 votes over all oilier persons. The vote stood far Messrs. Blair and Rives, 110; Gales & Sea'em t'2, scnterieg 5. Thirteen Democrats and seventeen Whigs were absent or did not vo'e. If this election be made a test cf the strength of parties in the House, it would seem that there is a democratic majority of 4, even if the vacant seats from NYw Jersey be liiled with Whigs if however, the Democrats succeed, as we have no doubt they will, the majority will be incieased to 14. On the liuienemlcni reasury question n wiiij,;,.,, ;.,,. ;,,;,,,, nn(i n ri.Vr it:imm to the. be larg r, the Speaker, why is a suUre-a- SU! iry man, having voted against Blair andjA,)ri, elections. For several ballots the 1 On the 20th, a resolution was adopted, which fo r!ids Ihe reception of all petitions or other papers which iclate directly or in directly to the subject of Slavery in the States, Territories or District of Colum bia. A corresp mdent cf the ualeigli Stan dard, thus describes the decision on this resolution, so neccessary to the tranquility of the Union & so acceptable to the South. Sir: 1 tend ycis the final vote taken upon the enuLscd Resolution, this day, about l p. m. w hich puts a final stop to abolition pe titions. They are. by this Resolution, ex cluded from this House, & it is made a part of our Rules. The battle has been a hard one on both sides, but the victory is secure. The vole is 114 yeas, 107 nays. I think it likely a reconsideration will not prevail. Out of 14 non-slaveholding States with 1G0 votes, we had 23 for this Resolution and 27 of them are Democrats, (Van Buren men) one whig only (the Hon. Geo. H. Moflit of Indiana. ) From all the slave holding Slates every man voteel for the Resolution except four wh.igs John Bell of Tenn.; MeiediLh P. Gentry, of do. ; Joseph R. Underwood and Simeon II.

More New Jersey Arithmetic After several attempts to elect a person to repte sent the Sixth Congressional District of Massachusetts, the Governor and Council have at length put their ' broad s' al' to tlie election of Ormyn Daker, and hv Ins pscsented himself, and taken his seat among the representatives of the nation. This has been effected by a course of legerdemain, which has been geat!y in vogue among a certain class within the last year. The town of Leverett was excluded under the most frivolous &. unjust pretence and ,by setting the votes of this town aside, "Dalier has a majority. The pretence for setting this town aside is, that the Selectmen notified their town meeting, but five days before hand. The usual not ice of posting up warrants at lu ting houses over one Sabbath was giveif; at one mce ling house the warrant was posted upsrm days and at the other five days, Sunday intervening in both cases. The reason why thc warrant was not posted up seven days in both cases, was the impossibility of gel ting to one of the meeting houses, in consequence of the severe snow Morm which had rendered the roads impassable for man or beast.

About the hour of ten, on Tuesday eve ning last (it being Avhat is usually denomi nated Christmas, Eve,) I had returnee! to my loelging, after having partake-n of that dtiicioers beverage, Eggmg, by the kind j invitation ol an old mend, to whom these lines are not at all applicable: "Mr. is a stingy man, And all his neighbors know it; He keeps good liquors in his house, But never says, here goes it." I say I had returned to my lodgings, and concluded in my own mind, that any long er resistance to the calls of the sleepy god, would be worse than fruitless: so, I straightway "doffed my dry goods," and went to bed, having first taken the prccau ti Mi to arrange the few sticks of wood still burning in the fire-place, so as tei preclude all possibility of danger.

The second attempt was as unsuccessful as the first, for in the twinkling of an eye, grimalkin was in the fire again; by this lime, she (I say she, fori suppose it was a ieniale,) had became sufficiently enlight ened (she was now all on fire.) to ma!,e the discovery that any other place would Ij-j quite as comfortable, and two bounds brought l.er snugly under my bed: what, reader, do you suppose I then did?

That she was not in the room when I lay ('own I would take" a Bible oath; and that the door and windows were closed was equally true.
