The National In,elligencer OF Saturday,
contains the speech of Mr.. Bayard in the
Senate, on the expunging resolution OF Col.
Benton. The following is happy illus
tration Of a preposterous doctrine which
Came into use during Gen. Jacksons adj
ministration, by which il was contended
that every outrage upon the Constitution
which Gen. Jackson had committed or
might commit, was sanctioned by the peo-
pie, because they had elected him President (;
and that popular sanction thus given, was
full and ample justification Of any viola
ton Of the constitution he chose to perpe-
.rae. This Jacobn doctrine is thus illus
trated by Mr.. Bayard. Poulson's .Adv.
Can any thing he more preposierous
than the assumption, that majority of the
people liking the man, in yielding TO him
their support, are TO be understood as APP
proving every thing that lie says and does,
and disappearing every thing that is said
or done agains, Eim' AS well might il be
contended on the snmc ground, that be-
cause Gen. Jackson smokes pipe, the YER
dict of The people has established that it is
right and proper to use tobacco, and that
the legitimate mode OF doing so is, by smo-
king il in an earthern pipe"

resolution, whereby ii was ordered that all
petitions, memorials, resolutions, PROPOSE

my extent whatever, 10 the subject Of sla
very, or the abolition Of slavery, without
being either printed or referred, Should be
laid on the table, and that M further cion
whatever Shout be had thereon; and
whereas, by the resolution aforesaid, which
IS adopted as standing rule of the present
House Of representatives, the petitions OF a
large number OF the people OF this common
wealth, praying Tor the removal Ofa great
moral and political evil have been Sighted
and condemned: therefore,
Resolved, Tha! the resolution above ma
med san assumption of power and author
iiy. at variance with the spirit and intent
of the u. S. constitution, & injurious to the
cause OF freedom and free institutions -
that il does violence Ia the inherent and in
aienable rights Of man and that it tends
essentially 10 impair those fundamental
principles OF natural justice, and natural
law, which are antecedent 10 any written
constitutions of government, independent
OF them all, and essential 10 the security OF
freedom in State.
Resolved That our Senators and Rep
rcsenlatives in Congress, in maintaining
and advocating the full right OF petition,
have entitled themselves 10 the cordial an
probsiioh Of the people OF this Common
wealth.
Resolved, Tia, Congress having exclu-
aive legislation in the District Of Columbia,
Possesses the right 10 abolish slavery in the
said District, aud that its exercise should
, only be restrained by regard TO the pub

The Senate adopted the following reso-
iutions, after long debate-the first unan-

Resolved, That Congress having exclu-

ardly al any price. II il will benefit them
by giving their names 10 the public you are
at liberty TO do so, as they might by chance
fall under the notice Of some of their
friends, who may use some measures, with
the assistance Of the government, in pro-
curing their deliverance. They are as fol-

The appointment Of this Apostle Of Rad
icaliSm, as minister to Russia, seems not to
have given general satisfaction but II APP
pears 10 us, more proper person to stand
near the throne of the great dcpot could
not have been selected. Mr.. Dallas advo-
Gates the great doctrines on which all des-
poiic governments are i0unded-the right
of the ruling powers in State Ia tramplc
on law, charters, and public faith, on the
ground that they are supreme aud irrespon-
sible. This will suit the illuslrious auto
crat exactly, and il he knows how to value
his friend, he will take the Pennsylvania
demagogue by the hand, kiss him on both
sides OF his face. declare him the only min
lister from the U. S. who has ever brought
10 his Court sentiments on government con-
genial TO his own, and at the end Of his mis-
sion, confer upon him the honorary title OF
Grand Constitutional Expositor 10 lis ma
