IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON

The intelligent correspondent Of the Uni
ted States Gazette, whose general accuracy
we have often had occasion to know, thus
writes fr Washington, under date of the
5th instant -
"A gentleman informs me, that he has
good reason to know that the President. as
soon rs he heard Of the nature of the Judy
ment, gave it TO he distinctly understood
that he should no: aid in carrying that judy
ment into effect. The phraseology which
he is reported to have used in making this
declaration is too gross and indecorous for
repetition. should he sorry to pollute my
letter with language of the kind and
would fain hope that it has been exaggera-
ted. Mr.. M'Dufie, on Saturday, expressed
his opinion that General Jackson ,ons tread
ing in the steps of OL,uer CromDell, and aims
at a Military DeSpoiiSm. 1t seems to he
somewhat late in tine day for those who SO
madly supported his election TO make dis
covery which was made and announced,
day after day, by those who opposed his
election, from 1926 to 1899. But it may
prove we'll that they have found out the fact
before the question Of his reelection comes
before the people; and it is to be hoped
that they who have now, for the first time
become cognizant of the fact, will not
second time yield to the seductions of err
ror. The decision Of the Supreme Court,
its Importance and its consequences, are
the all-absorbing theme of conversation.
Every one looks to the future with awe and
apprehension. There are Georgia Repre-
sentatves who talk unreservedly Of the
course which is to be pursued by that
State; and it is course which must either
tend to the punishment ofthat State, or to the
destruction of the character Of our confed-
'eracy abroad, if not to its annihilaton at
home. That the judgment will prove
-nuIlty, on account of the effectual resist
,ance which Georgia will present to its exc
.cution, and the determination of Gen. Jack
son not to aid in its enforcement, every one
fears; but no one seems to he able to penetrate
beyond that point, and to determine what is
to follow. The House of Representatives,
it is sail, are too devotedly paitizan in their
characters and feelings, to impeach the
President. Will the Judges then continue
10 pronounce decisions which are to he of
any or no effect as the President deter
mines2 relate these things in order that
you may understand what is the tone of per-
sons assembled here, and to make you aware
Of tho critical situation in which we stand"

LETTERS FROM WASHINGTON.
WAsHISGToy, Feb. 9

WAsHISGToS, Feb. 81.
The efforts of the Secretary of the Navy to
discourage the use OF ardent spirits among our
seamen are worthy of all praise but the evil
will never be entirely cured without a. legislS:
root and branch 1t is in the power of Con
gress to do this. and the subject ought to be
brought before them, and pressed upon them by
the countless mseres which have flown from
the legalized use of this poison in the Navy
Why do the public sumber over This subject ?
Why do not the patriotic and humane memo
rialize Congress? Why does moi the press
thunder its denunciations over this living curse2
Congress will and must move with the popular
pulse they will not and dare not resist public
sentiment. Then let the signal note be sound
ed and let the country demand the expulsion of
this scourge fiom our Navy.
The Hon. Mr.. Dallas spoke in the Senate to-
day on Mr.. Clay's resolution. His sentiments
on the subject of the Tariff, so exactly coincide
with those of Mr.. Clay, that expect 10 hear of
a coalition forthwith. Pennsvlvania is in one
respect the most inconsistent State in the Un-
ion. She advocates with enthusiastic zeal the
American System, and denies her sIffiages to
its acknowledged champion. We have had
some Gueis threatened here, of late; but be-
lievc no one, vet, has consented to have his
brains blown out because he wont tell his dog
to wag his tail kindly. The Editor of tho Tel
egraph is introducing ne1o etiquette of honor
he inst takes down the cOic hide and dresses
the man who brings ;he challenge, and then
tells him If his employer is not satisfied with
the treatment his representative has received
to come himself and that ends the business,
| think this now fashion is quite an improve
ment on the old one and hope it will take.

WASHINGTON. MARCH l.


"The Apportionment Bill was taken up
in the Senate to day, and Mr.. Webster in
troduced his amendment with a speech, and
in opposition to the bill in its present shape,
and in support Of the amendment. His re-
marks made deep impression, and | look
upon the bill as dead. He will call it up
next Monday. 1t is believed that the
House bill would not again pass that body
nor would it have passed there. had not
the members been jaded and disguised
with the long continued and tedious discus
sion. Mr.. Wehster's amendment proposes
a ratio of forty seven thousand, and one rep
resentatiye for each fraction of twenty five
thousand. This gives House Of 55 mem
hers. instead of 240, as proposed in the bill
and the fifteen additional members will
come fiom Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
and Vermont New York, New-Jersey
PENNSYLVANIA, ann Delaware ;-Maryland,
VIRGINIA. and North and South Carolina 3
Ohio. and Missouri; and Alabama and Lou
isianna. The apportionment proposed in
the House bill, Mr.. Webster showed to he
unjust and unequal, in regard to contiguous
States, and in regard to the new States.
For instance, the States Of Vermont and
New-Jersey, with eleven members, have a
fraction of seveniy-fve thousand; while
seven large States, having a majority of all
the members, have an aggregate fraction of
fiftv.three thousand.- New York, with a
population less, by forty thousand, than that
of New England, has forty members, and
New England but thirty eight. Mr.. Web
ster contended that the bill was nnconstitu-
tional, because it does not apportion the
representatives among the several States
according to their respective numbers"
