. Correspondence ofthe Bosion Alias.
WASHINGTON, Monday. Jan. &c.

In the House to day by
rcsoluon was submitted by NIr.
Patton, declaring the continued rcli-
ance of this government upon the good
faith ofthe French nation, and stating Il
to be inexpedIent ut this time to lcgisiate
upon our relations with France. The
House refused to consider this resolution,
and il was consequently lost.
There was some further di.c:ssi1Hs
upon Mr. Reynolds resolutions altering
the mode OF voting for officers of tho
ltonse by ballot and substituting tho
r'ra roce plan. The resolution was sup
ported by Vanderpool, whose voice ia
among tho few voices capable Of filling
the hail. Vanderpool was formerly Fed
erallst, but ho now makes up Tor his pa.t
lalllngs, @y prating continually about his
affection for the people his responsibility
to his constituents, and his fondness Tor
innovation. "Let the genius of antiquity"
said he to day, "shake her hoary locks;
we will not cherish an error because it is
old'-in other words, eve will not vote
| by ballot because the constitution recon-.
mends it by implication. We will vote
our own man for printer"
To my surprize, Mr.. Pearce, of Rhodo
Island opposed the resolution. lie stated
however, that ho should vote for Mr..
Blair for printer, because he supported
! the administration; and the patronage of
tho government should be bestowed on
those who uphold tho government. Ii
was the old cry of ".he spoils TO the VIC
,or." which Pearce unbInshngly echoed.
lie said that in his own town OF Providence
the dominant party had carried this princi-
pic so far as to eject irsm office the town
crIer and constables and substitute. W higs
IN their place. 1t was the same in New
York, where the merchants would emplov
none but whig butchers, vhig BARRIERS,
and whig every thing. Mr.. Pearce
wished to abide by this principle.
The House adjourned without coming
to any deci'ion upon Reynolds resolution.

 Perhaps the following article may have some relation to Arkansas. We publish it for the good of the crgfi.
 A NEW WAY TO PAY THE PRINTER. You may have heard of the awkward predicament in which tho individual who printed paper hereabouts some ten years ago, found himself. He once went to a neighboring town and asked an individual Come, you had better subscribe, sir Oh! l can't pay for 1t if do.' Don't trouble yourself about that; I'll take pay in any thing you have.' 'In any thing I have, , quoth the man, after thinking a moment Well, on these conditions, if you'lf take your pay in any thing, why you may put my aama on your list.' The printer went home and thought no more of the affair, till one day the stage brought box iron, the subscriber, directed to him. He hurried at- ter it-glad to get his pay any -Iugged ii into tavern among lot of people. and unfastenedit, when lol 1t contained a coffin, taceny-t,co inches ia itngihi as much as to say, Il have come to' pay for the paper.p The feelings of the single gentleman may be more easily imagined than described.

 Wilite Connfies.

FELLOW CITIzENs--In again presenting my name before you as a candidate, should do injustice to my own feelings, not to render you my grateful acknowledp- ments for the generous support and confi-, dence your kindness bestowed on me at the late election. An individual, u4laideS by the influence of family and relatives in society, feels a deep obligation for such favors-an obligation which am sure can never be forgotten by me. A due regard to my private and professional engagements would have forbidden my appearing before you to represent you in Convention, b.a the wishes of large number of my fellow citi- zenss together with the vital importance to Arkansas of the events in which we are now engaged, induce me to wave all pri- yate considerations. and tender you my humble but best efforts for your service.

 We should like to know what kind of De- moerdcy it is, which teaches the servile and ao]ect hlrelings who act as the high priests in politics at the altar of those in power, or thoso out, to cry out "sold sold!'' whenever the free people of any State choose to exercise the rights of freemen and vote for whom they like! It strikes us as being a singular con- tradiction between profession and practice. All the time they talk of "going for the De- nsocracy, the Republicans yet, the moment the freensn of State vote against them, the cry IS sssoId, bribed, bought over!'' Col Gro. w. JoNEs has been elected Dele gate to Congress from Ouisconsin Territory.

An anti-slavery meeting was lately called i'll Boston, when several thousand persons attended with the intention of Lynching Thompson and Garrison. The former did not make his appearance, but they caught the latter, crouched under pile of boards in the second story of a carpenters shop, A rope was immediately fastened around his neck and arms, and he was led into the streets, where the civil officers arrested him, and committed him to jail. He has since been released and fed from the city. Thompson has gone to Canada.

In our last paper we published the RECORD of Mir. Van Burea's vote on the question of giving 6tacks the right to vote. We this week publish, on the outside, his vote on the Missouri question. We have no remarks to make on either. They stand there in simple, plain and naked truth--ncontrover un- deniable, and not to be explained away. Let our readers read and ponder on them--let them read every word--and then ietthem ask themselves, why should we vote for Van Bu- rent While the most strenuous efforts are making here, to raise Van Buren party Ia thing which as yet has not as much sub- stance as one of Ossian's ghosts,) 1t will be well for the yeomanry of the country to judge of Van Buren's future course by the former doings of his life.

There is much speculation as to the proba- ble result of matters in Texas. Our impress sion is, that Santana will have his hands too full at home, to attend to her, that other States will follow the example of Guadalaja- ra and Samaulipas, which have already risen against him, and that Texas will just be let alone If the Republicans conquer him, Texas will be made free State--if he con- quer them, he will be willing to sell it to the United States-as it will always be more plague than profit to monarch.

We have a single word to say for Colonel Crockett.

White. Neither was the supper given by several anti-Jackson men. As we'll men of one party as of another joined it. Neither did he abuse the Administration in an out- 1ondish style. His remarks were few, plain, moderate and unaffected-wthout violence or acrimonys He spoke against the Admin istration and against the heir apparent--but he did it by quietly detailing facts. His re- marks were far from outlandish. He neither aimed at display or eloquence-and was sim ply rough, natural, and pleasant.
