The fourth resolution of the committee be'iu
under consideration, as follows :

the deputy sheriff had paid the tax ol Mr. t -fki

were allowed to do tin*. a paiTi/an deputy •'lo r

would vo’e iu the way he dc-urvl. It was I’m

receive back from the Auditor the amount • f the
delinquencies; *<» that a person voting on Midi a
payment of taxes, mi dit be returned a d< tiu
qnent after having 'given his vote.
On the other side it "as contended, that in ;i!l
crtre% w lie re the i.ires ul a vote! were paid by an
agent, the question was. whether it w,w

The Speaker instantly called tn order. Mr. Jar

There wa* a dead pause for several minutes.

t On the first page the reader will find Mr. Vaa
ljureu’s neat and appropriate valedictory „„
leaving tlie chair ot the Senate, 4. the inaugural
address ol Senator King of Alabama, „n
pro In.t. accession to the vacated dignity, fj’*
latter, like the former, might pass without coni
incut, were it not for the expression of certain
iriiisms, (he inefficiency of which, in practice
has been recently strikingly exemplified by ||lt
action of tins Senate, and by the vote of the ji,,.
dent pro Lon. himself.
Mr. King tells us that Hie Senate is tU
great conservative body m the Republic.’’ p
has recently better earned the title of the „r,Jt
destructive body,” by the perpetration of an act
than which none exhibiting a more servile ils.
votiun to the will of a master, and a more com
plete do titotiou of sell' respect, was ever enacted
by any legislative body in any age of the woilti
Here" (ce iiinues Senator King,; “ here p

" ( ti ement on inr. o itieb.” Ifli.it a satire are
recent eyt nt- upon tiiis just delineation—not uf
what the .Senate-13, hut of what it was intended
To r.E by the fi-oners of the constirutiun I lime
can it he expected that tine Senate will ht-reat
ter present an “ ui.llinching resistance to th*
encioachmeiits of power.” w ith the 1-ivpungine
precedent staling them in tlie lice ? Indeed I
the Seuale has a right, a- is gravely contended,
to express any opinion, • veil when ii Mimi-i
that an auiliiliims Piesid-'iil is transcending Ins
eonsliluiinnal powers, by seizing Hie pur-.,
which the eoiisiiiii'i.ni places in the custody 1

So, on the other Innd, we should like to lm
informed how tie- Senate is to resist •• Hie cfliir
vescenees ol popular excitement.'' if they arc the
mere slave ul ih.s excitement if they arc tou’
win.level tin public voice,operated upon by dem
agogues, commands them to perform, or else
yield their seats to tli; more pliant iustrumeuU
ul faction ?
.Senator King has correctly pourtrayed tiie
high Attributes ol the Senate, such as it was de
signed to he — but rowing almo-t llie language
uf Mr. Ma lison, in vindicating that branch ol the
government, against the objections of I lie oppo
nents of our existing constitution. Hut if die
dogmas of the present day — nay, il Mr. King's
own votes are to I,- deemed authoritative, lli»
Senate is no longer the conservative power
which lie describes. It will not resist the en
croachments of power, o.i the one hand—Ibr it
will dread the rebuke, of power, inflicted in vio
lation uf iis constitutional right-', by its servile
minions, at some >uhsci|uent period. Nor will
| it array itself in oppo-ilicm lo punular efferves
cence, on the other,—for it will know that the
axe of persecution will he forever after held over
their heads, as disobedient servants—as aris'
locralic ecmt miicrs of tin; people’s will No.
1 he Senate, henceforth, is the slave of Kxecti
tive pleasuie. The President may encroach,
one by one. upon the functions of the other dc
partineiits of the government, and upon the
rights ol the people themselves—and the repre
sentatives of the .Slate sovereignties must sit m
submissive silt nee, Irst they should offend
the ears ol Majesty, and revive this vindic
tive process of expunging the public records.—
To this result the vote of Senator King inevita
bly (ends. We are glad to see that Ins princi
ples are belter than his acts—and vve lrnpe d,a>
the time will come when the latter will cease to
he in broad and ludicrous contrast with die lor
mcr.
