duced resolution, the substance of which
was that the Exchequer plan Of the Pres
ideEt ought moi to be adopted. This
tested the question offair support. The
vote stood 100 against the President to
10 for him. Only six out OF the whole
number OF the fatterers OF the President
stood by him. |, was both hoped and
intended that this step would rend The
veil from the eyes Of Mr.. Tyler, and ex.
hibit in its naked delormity the true col.
ors Of Loco Focoism. But in this the
friends and the opponents of the President
were again both doomed TO disappoint-
ment.
Simultaneous with the movements OF
the House, were the roarings Of Benton
in the Senate. He denounced Mr.. Ty.
Ter in the most open and Benton like man
ner- Mr.. McDuffie and Mr.. Calhoun, in
their speeches on the Oregon question
gave as reason for their opposition TO
the Bill, that there was no government,
and no responsible head TO whom the peo-
pie could look for any efficiency in the
management Of public affairs. Thus the
leaders Of all parties gave Mr.. Tyler to
understand that however much they diff
fered in other matters, they were unani-
nous in The opinion that be stood no
chance for the Presidency. Mr.. Tyler
saw that the politicians were opposed to
him, but his vanity induced him to adopt
another Gelusion, which there are, from
the nature Of the case, no means OF dis.
polling. This opinion you see daily pro
mulgated through the MadisonIan. It's
that the people are all for him, independ.
emily OF the politicians and while there
are not ten men in the United States who
believe he stands any chance of success,
this opinion is one from which the nature
Of things, cannot be refuted. 1.-THE peo-
pie speak they are politicians, and from
that instant they are rot 10 be trusted. -
II they say nothing, their silence is con-
strued into Tylerism. Sy that Mr.. Ty-
Ter has nothing TO do but claim the peo-
pie and reject the leaders, and all is safe
in mis- eyes, till the ballots arc counted

that even should the safety Of au ind
viduai State or whole secton--or iht
preservation of the Union be at stake
Congress could not rightfully exercise q
power which might be Indispensable to a.
vert disaster and ruInl Is that .hell
lneanngl If so, he would never con-
sent TO commit himself to any such declar-
alton. He believed that Government
was under the obligation to pay the debts
of the States. He hoped the day was
far dis,an, when Congress should find it
Unnecessary TO inquire into the extent OF
their Constitutional powers on the subject
of assumptlon-but he certainly would
not exclude himself from the use OF a
power which was not prohibited BY the
Constitution, and which might be essen
tla TO the public welfare. The proper
time, however, for deciding this Constilu
tional question would be when the SUBJ
ject itself came up. Mr.. Crlttenden OPP
posed, most strenuously, that portion Of
the resolution oil MIR. RIves which APP
pears to decry the power Of Congress TO
dispose Of the public domain for the use
and benefit Of the States. He was OPP
posed however, to the proposition which
has been agltated for creating a United
States stock of two hundred millions Of
dollars, to be distributed amongst the
States; and he believed it would never
have been heard of, if the distribution
act had become law. He concluded,
with declaring his determination to vote
against all these resolutions, which could
not DO discussed, and leave time for the
ordinary business of Congress and could
DO Of no benefit either to Congress or the
country. He had never known any such
distractions TO produce any effect out Of
the Capitol during his Congressional ca
reer many and many were the resolves
which had been adopted and high sound
ing predictions were made Of their GER
tain influence abroad, with portentous adj
monitions Of the importance Of the occa-
sion--the great crisis. &c. &c. But
when he went out Of the Senate, he never
heard of them once again in a journey
Of thousand miles. He thought the
wisest course would be to let those declar-
atoms rest undisturbed for the remainder
Of the session.

A THRIVING VILLAGE.-A writer in

says, that in the State of Georgia, there is
a populous and thriving village, in which
not drop Of ardent spirit is sold. When
the village was laid out and lots sold, eve.

should be forfeited ard revert to the orig
inal owner or his heirs, whenever dram,
shop or place for the sale Of ardent
spirits should be opened upon it. Tho
village has been exempt from almost eve

villages in our country, and there il no
reason why it should moi continue 10 DO
so to the end OF time.
