(Q3 We arc indebted to the Hon. Messrs. Brown and Strange of the Senate, and Stanly and Bynuhi of the House of Rep resentatives, for several interesting Con gressional documents. (Q"The last Standard contains an Ad dress, adopted at a meeting of the Demo cratic Republican members of the Legis lature, held in the Senate chamber at Raleigh, on the 2nd inst. which we will in sert in our next. unon that subject. They will find no mem- l)er engaged in mis ousiness oui jiouiutuu tssand fVhigs; and some of the latter, we regret to add, from States south of the Po tomac. The various matters embraced by the President's Message have not yet been referred; hut, taking advantage, as we have heretofore stated, of the House going into Committee of the Whole, (on that do cument,) where debate cannot be restrain ed, the agitators and obstructors nave o pened a wide and useless debate, lending to no practical result, except the mere abuse of the Administration, which arrests the pro gress of the whole ordinary and necessary business of the nation. We ask, can ihe mass of any par ty approve of this reckless course? Will the people teel compensated for the utter neglect of their business and interests, by the vituperative declamations . .i u and pointless ravings oi such men ise, Prentiss, Bell, and their fellow conspira tors? We shall see. rati n s From the Raleigh Standard. Molitlon in North Carolina. Mr. James T. Morehead, the Federal "Whig" Senator from Guilford, attempted, a few days before the adjournment, to present two 'abolition petitions from the county of Guilford, to the Senate of North Carolina. V,e have obtained a copy of but one of them, as the honorable gentleman refused to permit tiro other to be seen. So we see that Federal Whiggery, in this' State, is opening the way to assist their Northern abolition allies. Let the people consider of (fcT We give in the preceding columns the Captions of the Laws passed by the re cent General Assembly; together with a list of those bills which were not matured. This Assembly will be particularly noted in the annals ot this Stale, as being one in which ttie Democracy found themselves in the minority, through the devices of Fed eralism, under the tri-colored fbg of Fed-eral-Bank-Whiggcry. We trust that be fore another election, the trickery and chi canery which have been recently practised upon a too-confiding people, under the im posing names of Republican Whigs, State Rignt Republicans, &c. will meet the indig nant rebuke they so richly merit; and that, af er the next election, the Democratic old Nortn State will again be found under full sail on the Republican tack. CONGRESS. The Senate havepassed several acts of a public and private naiurc, among which we find, an act to prevent the counu rfeiting of foreign coin ; to provide for the punishment of certain crimes ; to postpone the fourth instalment of deposite with the States; and to remit or refund the duties upou certain rail road iron. In the House, on the 31st ult. Mr. STANLY submitted a series of abolition resolutions, lo supply the omissions said, in the resolutions introduced by Mr. Atherton; which were laid on the table. Our Senators The Globe of the 14th inst. contains the following account of the presentation to the U. S.' Senate of the "plain and intelligible" resolutions passed by the late General Assembly. It is a well known and indisputable fact, that a consid erable number of the Federal Whigs in that body had openly declared against the right of instruction; and that a number of those calling themselves State Right and Re publican Whigs, secured their election by pledges to vote against instructions yet in defiance of these declarations and pledg es, they have had the unblushing effron tery to pass resolutions, by a meagre ma- loritv. in which the word instruction is not to be found; and which they resolutely refused to insert, but stated that they are "sufficiently plain and intelligible to be comprehended by any one desirous of un derstanding them;" and our Senators are now clamorously called upon to obey in structions. We are pleased to see them treat such shuffling and prevarication in the manner they have done, and we doubt not they will be zealously sustained by the Democracy. Mr. BROWN presented the resolutions in which the Federal majority in the North Carolina Legislature express their opinion of what is the sentiment of the people of the State in relation to some of the leading ques tions which have agitated the country dur in the late and present Administrations. Messrs. Hi own and Strange, in a frank, plain, and appropriate explanation, laid be fore the S( uale ihe views they entertained of their duty a Senators under the circum stances. We trust we shall be able to lay the whole matter fully before our readers to-morrow. In discharging their duty to the Legis lature and themselves, in submitting the resolutions, as required, to the Senate, the two Senators from North Carolina had to encounter a novel and extraordinary inter ference on the part of Mr. Clay, of Ken tucky. That gentleman presented himself as interpreter tor the North Carolina Leg islature, and insisted that they had instruct ed their representatives, although that body had expressly refused to instruct, when proposed during the pendency of the reso- , Uuiions, and although afterwards solicited lo uo so uy me senators memseives, u those passiog them designed that they should be considered as instructions. This the Legislature refused tolo, but Mr. He 15ih Dec. have been received. The fol-j lowing is a brief summary of the intelli gence interesting to our readers : The news is of unusual interest , The Grain Market continues to advance. The English funds have declined owing to the news from Canada. The sales of Cotton up, to the 7th were very large, about Gl,obt) bales, at an ad vance of i per ct. From the 7th to the 14th sales also very large and prices firm. The London Morning Chronicle an nounces that of the two millions of pro tested bills against the United States, sent out for collection by the Bank of England, all has been paid except .100. Money was bringing a higher rate of in terest. British stocks were down a shade. Large sales of American stocks were made at increased prices. All American stocks had advanced. Immense quantities of ma nufactured goods are on their way to this country. The pi ices of cotton on the 11th were rather in favor of the buyers; there was no advance of price after the arrival of the Great estern, on the 7ih Still the talk is of war with Russia, the ordering out new levies in that country larc recruitings in the Cossack ranks building of vast magazines, &c. Perhaps the drained bullion from England has gone thither for these purposes. Upon the back of such rumors we hear, of course, of large Austrian and French armies of observation being organized on the Northern frontiers. Petersburg Market, Jan. 11.

Signed by direction of the meeting, by Nathan Mendenhall, Clerk." Parly Madness. Pending the Caucus Resolutions in the Senate of North Caroli na, an amendment was introduced by Mr. Reid, of Rockingham, approving the' votes of our Senators in Congress, on the ques tion or abolition. It will scarcely be believ ed that this amendment was rejected by a strict party vote, and that the federalists of the Senate of North Carolina, thus gave countenance to the designs of the "Whig" abolitionists of the North. Indeed, it would seem as if the federalists in our Legislature had forgotton every duty to their cousiitu ents and the Sutc; and tere bent alone on giving countenance and encouragement to federalism, in every shape and on every oc casion. ib. Great Fire in Richmond. A destruc tive fire occurred in Richmond. Va. on Saturday night the 'i9lh ult. The spacious other important interests ot the country, are unprovided for, or left to take cue of them selves.' About two dozen bitls some of which' arq important to the public interest have already finally passed the Senate, and been sent to the House ot Representatives for its' act ion, every one of which, we h;ive learned with astonishment, is now on the Speaker's table, untouched, even for the purpo-e of reterence to their appropriate committees! We submit it lo all who are at all acquainted with legislative practice or decorum, whether such a course, on tne part of the House, is consistent with the courte sy selling aside the obligations of public duty) due from one branch to the other? Is the public business lo be wholly neglec ted, and ihe public time and money consu med m idle, lruitless and vituperative de bate, without any ostensible, practical ob ject.' Do the people wish to know how the time, intended for their service y has been spent? Let them recur to any of the public journals oi the debases and proceedings ot ihe Huuse of Repre-ieiuativesi and they will learn: The will hud the earlier part of the session occupied by attempts to defeat the patriot ic, anti-Abolition resolutions, introduced by Mr. Aihertou of New Hamshire, and by subsequent attempts to get up agitation of their bey ine actual resolutions of instruction, which they have heretofore disobeyed, with the general approbation of the whole body ot the federal party. Messrs. Strange and Hrown answered Mr. Clay in masterly replies. We think Mr.Clay will not again volunteer his counsel in such cacs. The was carried into Africa, and the Kentucky Senator's sins against the right of instruction paraded in such style, as must have saiistied him that he was not a fit lecturer on the subject. His closing reply was humble, in proportion to the presumption of his first address, and the casligaiion he had received. War between France and Mexico. A letter received yesterday irom Laguira, under date of the 15th December, slates : "Uy the arrival here of the British barque Peru, from Sacrificios, intelligence is ob tained, that Gen. Santa Anna had arrived at Vera Cruz wilh five thousand men; and the French soldiers and officers that were t)n shore spiking the guns of the batteries, &c. were obliged to retreat to their boats, afier losing several officers and men. It appears ihe terms of the capitulation of San Juan de Ulloa were that the French should keep possession of the cas tle and the Mexicans of Vera Cruz, until the decision of the King of France but the blockade wato be raised immediately. The capitulation has been disapproved of, they say, by the Mexican government, which has declared war against France." N. O. Bulletin, Jan. 1. Late from Europe.
