Inc tennessee resolutions against the con-
gresslonal caucus were before the House of
Representatives yesterday. A motion TO
Il.
made on Monday last, by Colonel Holgate,
having been Withdrawn by him, was renewed
by DIR. Sutherland The postponement was
supported by DIR. Sutherland, Dir. F. Smith,
MIR. Gardner, and MIR. II. Smith aud opposed
by Mr.. j . Stevenson, Mr.. Clark Mr.. Hol
gate, and Mr.. Sterigere, who EXPIRE ssed them
selves decidedly in favor of reference TO a
committee on the ground that ii was respect
due To sister state. After the subject had
been AMY discussed, the question on postpone
ment was taken, and carried yeas 57-nays
81. Ii is very probable tie resolutions will a
gain be called up. and have no doubt they
VIII be again postponed. The members of
The Legislature appear to me favorable To "a
nomination of the candidates for President
and Vice President being made by the
republican members Of congress al Washing
ton, during their present session An Sentinel.

the business of which we gi,a daily account
| TO our readers, there is every day presenit d
a number of petitions, from various States
and Territories greater in proportion Of course
from the Territories than from the States, the
waDts of the former being more numerous, and
the necessity greater for special legislation in
respect To them. Of these petitions, but a
very small proportion are of any sort of i'm
portance TO the Public, and we therefore do
not propose TO fill our paper with The enume ra-
ton of them. Some OF them, however are
| OF importance, from their origin those, for
example, which emdnate from the Le.Isla-
lures OF the States and Territories from va
rous corporate bodies and public assemblies
| and others are interesting from The nature of
their contents. OF these, we propose to uub-
lish, IN the beginning of each week, selrcied
list, which will be commenced in Our next.
TO the Senate, SO few petitions are usually
addressed, that they will be announced day by
