The following resolutions of the Legislature of
Tennessee have been printed by the Senate of the
United States. They approve the recommendations
of the President his annual message to Congress:
Resolved, That the late annual message of Pres
ident Polk to the two houses of Congress is every
way worthy the Chief Magistrate of the American
people, The temperance, hrmness, dignity, and
beralty manifested in its discussion Of foreign
relations, and its luminous exposition and patriotic
recommendation of the great principles Of domestic
policy upon which the administration was brought
into power, mark 1t as one among the ablest and
most American documents ever issued from the ex-
ecutive department.
"Resolped That our senator's in Congress be, and
they are hereby instructed, and our representatives
requested to sustain the princi Piles Of the message
by their votes, by all their energies, and all their in
huence.
"Resolped, That our senators in Congress be, and
they hereby, especially instructed, and our rep
resentatives requested, against any PROPOSE
ton or bill which may be introduced in Congress
having for its object the establishment of nation al
bank, the assumption Of the debts Of the individual
States, or the distribution Of the proceeds of the
sales of the public lands among the States, whether
acquired by cesson or otherwise, as impolitic and
unconstitutional.
"Resolped, That our senators in Congress be in
structed, and our representatives requested to use
their best exertons to modify the tariff Of 1912
as to reduce the duties it imposes to revenue stan
dard, and to abolish the minimum and specific du-
ties, and to establish in their place, ad vaorem
duties, as the most fair and equitable mode of levy
ing tax on imports.
"Resolped, That our senators in Congress be fur

to use their best exertions to extend the laws
and jurisdiction Of the United States over our citi-

the United States and Great Britain

We have seen, with some regret, several para.
graphs, which have appeared in the Alabama pa.
p.n concerning the position Of Mr.. Yancey, one OF
Is veil known that Mr.. Yancey has opposed the
House resolution ofnotics and that he delivered a
speech against the proposition. He apprehended
that might lead TO war and it seems that he has
pressed similar impression in private letter ad-
dressed to clergyman in Perry county, which has
found its way into the Alabama Baptist" Unjust
mfsrences were made by some of our friends in
Alabama, in regard to Mr.. Yancey's relations to the
administration.
We must seize the opportunity of repeating that,
warm friends are Of the notice, we make eve
ry allowance for an honest difference of opinion
upon this subject. The republican members of
Congress who have deemed it their duty to oppose
it, have not on that account, changed their relations
to the great republican party, with which they are
associated. They are among the most ardent and
determined friends ofthe administration. Who can
doubt the principles, the attachments the devotion Of
Mr. Yancey' Who could have heard his brilliant and
,cathing speeches of Friday and Saturday last,
without admiration of his talents, and confidence in
the sincerity Of, his principles' We could have
wished that every word which he delivered on thai
remarkable occasion was taken down as it fell
from his eloquent lips, and circulated over the coun
try. His speech Of Saturday bears the distinct i'm
press of the feelings, and political relations of tn,
speaker. We quote with pleasure the following
Just view of Mr.. Yancey's position, from the "We
tumpka (Ala.) Argus" 1t does Mr.. Yancey n,
more than justice:
1--WE have been amused at the comments Of on,
or two Of our papers on the above extract of Mr.
Y, saying that he may not now be considered as
warm advocate Of the administration! If we hat
not Mr.. Yancey's active political career, ever since
he entered upon politics, to refer to, as guarante,
which few can produce, we have his late speech or
the harbor bill, expressing his views of democracy
and Of the President in particular, efficiently
hbiting the position he occupies; and as long al
Mr.. Polk conducts his administration on the princi
pies of democracy, SO long, venture to predict
will he find himself sustained by Mr.. Yancey.
"The people will not soon forget the late arduou'
campaign, in which Mr.. Y. so strenuously upheld
Mr., Polk, and defended him from assaults Will,
many others were resting quietly under the shad,
Of their own fig tree"

THE BRITISH JOURNALS.

We give in another column such extracts from
the British papers brought by the late arrivals, in
the crowded state Of our columns we can find spac,
for. They were in print yesterday but were with
held to make room for other matter.
The articles We quote are among the most volen
have seem and yet, they are e.s violent than W,
supposed they might be. The rejection of arbtra
ton and the "nodce" vote in the House Of Represen
\ tatiyes had Just beea made known in England; the
tendency Of the "notiee" question before the Sen
ate was also known. The same ship which Dor,
these tidngs to England bore also the information
that a portion Of the whig press and Of tho whig
| party, had attempted to make rally against the
administration on both these points; but especially
in reference 10 Arbitration 1t was evident too thai
the same portion Of the party press making
desperate effort to prevent the passage Of the "no
tes" in the Senate; and that the principal camor Of
| those journals against the measure, was founded on
It's alleged tendency to bring on hosulites.
What, under these circumstances was the cue OF
tho British pressl Why, plainly enough-bluster
It does bluster somewhat, therefore, though rather
less than we expected; less certainly than was to
have been expected from the appearance OF division
in our councils upon the question, which the whg
press endeavored to augment, to exagg rate
and to proclaim.
1t is remarkable, however, that even those British
journals which are 6ercest in their tone-which
scout the idea Of any farther concession (as they
call it) on the part Of England-whch regard ACC
as just as inadmissibe $40 40-eyen this portion
of the British press hardly makes any serious at
tempt to find fault with the form of the "notice," as
it passed the House. These journals do indeed
protest against the termination Of the convention;
but that point being settled, they do not pretend that
the "notics" resolution Of the House is, in its terms
other than temperate, and courteous, and so far
pacific. l, is pretty generally admitted by the Brit
ish journalists that the House has shaped its meas
ure to put an end to the convention, even as Lord
Rurleigh claimed to apply the rack-"as charitaby
as such thing can be-" We hope that the same
form Of the "notice" will be approved, and adopted
by the Senate.

SOMETHING NEW ON THE SUBJECT OF OREGON

of Mr. de Mofras, author Of the large work on that
country, has recently made it's appearance at Paris
The two concluding paragraphs are as follows
Besides. however these great difficulties may
terminate France cannot remain Indifferent to them
Let us not indeed forget that it is the nterpreta

continental possessions in America, she has lost

ROYALTIES separate themselves from herr II is

England maintains herself in our ancient colony
Notwithstanding long years OF possession the two

Frenchnen flying from English tyranny in l7is
after twenty-eight years Of domination, from seek
inc refuge in the island Of St. John, which then be-
longed 70 us; and the Canadians Of the present day
