One of the resolu tions under consideration, called 'heat tention of cur members in congress tc an amendment of the constitution of the United Statts, so as to irovide for the election or electors upon the out net plan throughout the states. In providing for the election of Presi dent and Vice President by the interven tion of electors, the consiitutioi had re moved it one degree from the people themselves, and in adopting the mode by which the electors should be chosen, he hotild prefer that which wsuld be most likely to produce the same 'esult, as if the ultimate vote were exercsed directly by the people. This he tluugl.f was to be attained by establishing the ditrict principle. It was also to bi preferred, from its tendency to secure i more gen eral vote, by inducing the psople to feel and exercise a deeper intenst in the re sult of the election. Hut when called up on by the general ticket pfan, to vote for fifteen electors, situated h different and remote sections of the stat,most of whom must be entirely unknown,even by name, to the great bodv of our r.itiiens. it can- no: be expected that tbev should manifest any solicitude to exercise their constitu tional privilege.

He could not, therefore, agree with tbe gentleman from Beaufort that the preamble and resolutions, now before I he house, were merely designed to have an effect unmi the candidates for the Pre idency. Me did not so consider the qups tion, but regarded it as one that had an immediate reterence to an important con stitutional principle, and thought that the adoption of tbe resolutions would go to censure and condemn a practice which, in its exercise, has an alarming tendency oa usurpation of the rights of the people by making the election of ' President a mere matterof bargain and sale, bvfunau thorized individuals as Washington city. The gentleman from liowan,' in open ing this discussion, had expressed a wish to-modify"the-resolutionsr so as-to- make them more generally acceptable to the house ; but this opportunity, for the pre sent, had been denied him by the very unparliamentary motion of the gentleman from Halifax. Should that gentleman's motion Tail, the friends of the resolutions will so amend them, astd make them convey a mere expression of the opinion of this general assembly on the practice ol congressional caucuses. V hat right, we are asked, have we to dictate to our senators and reprtflenfalive Lonutfernsjphe resolutions as they now stand, and unconnected with the propo sed modification. Mr. S. observed, he did not consider them as holding any thing of a dictatorial tone, but as respect fully conveying'that ' instruction and re quest which the legislative assemblies of our ownj ans! biher states, have frequently port lor President. But gentlemen may rest assured that such had not been, nor would it be, the practical result : The people have, and will continue to require some knowledge or proof of the integrity and abili'y of the individuals whom they are rolled upon to employ as (heir agents, in a business of so much importance. Mr. S. concluded by remarking, that he should vote against the motion for indefi nite postponement ; and if it did not pre vail, he hoped lo see the resolutions so amended, as to make them agreeable to all who were friendly to the princinle which ihey ronimn.!. C.EXKIIAL JACKSON". T.wtihcx-tJCirmtt- fe'tm the- Axidmt vf tfir IHtnburg meeting. Having, we hope, clearly demonstrated that it is not only the right, but the duty I the people alone, to nominate a candi date for the Presidency ; the question now recurs to the claims of Andrew Jackson, for that distinguished station. The limits of an address will scarcely permit us to sketch the outlines oftiis civil and milita ry career. His lame is the rich patrimo ny of the nation, and its living monument, speaks in the gratitude of his fellow citi zens. His patriotism is not the transient exotic that springs from one victorious field, but commencing with boyhood, has strengthened with increasing years. When in the Revolutionary struggle) the arm of B itish tyranny, yet reeking with tbe blood of his ancestors, basely butcher ed at C.anicklcrgus, was raised against his native country, Andrew Jackson, and to ovci flowing, the measure of his fame It has proved that the sword ami pen are alike in his hand " the club of Hercules." routing the legions of itain, and con founding the diplomatists of Spain. It has shed around the btighl halo of the in trepid soldier, the milder splendor of the polished statesman. From the mouths of his cannon bus he proclaimed our vic tories, and with the resistless artillery of reason defended their justice. Once more has he pn-ccted our defenceless frontiers from the merciless tomahawk. and as governor of Florida wrung from the avaricious grasp of Spanish treachery, the titles of American settlers. Of his civil and political career, we can give you but a cursory view. Attorney General of the South Western Territory, when that Territory became the State of Tennessee, the most able and cotispi uous member in the convention which formed her con stitution, her first representative in Con gress, and the succeeding year a Senator of the United States. Judge of her Su preme Court, and at the close of his mil itary career, governor of Florida. In every office, whether civil or military, he has displayed an intimate knowledge of his duty, and the most ardent devotion to J mis subject, says : " We now learn, from his tountry s service. One word as to his politics. He has ever been a trm and inflexible Demv-iai. rne unvieldin? .j,.iupion of Democracy in sunshino and in storm.

'he motion was opposed by Mr. Canning and Mr. Struges Bourne. Mr. Cannint? explained, that, owing to the unforeseen circumstances under which Sir V.

The amendment of Mr. Bourne declaring, that, throughout the whole, contest, ministers preserved their neu trality inviolate, was finally tarried by large majority, the numuti being in against 30.
