We are sorry to perceive, from the Gazette of this morning, a renewed disposition on the part of its editor, to invole oor paper in a false position, and to hold up the I ntelligencer as hostile and per sonal to bim. It is not necessary for ua to repeat what wc have heretofore said, as to the utter groundlessness of such an assumption. We should cease to respect ouvelves, did we for a moment feel that we could harbor a feelingof hostility or envy either towards the Gazette or its editor, and whatever its course may continue toba towards us, however much he may endeavor to excite the public against us by his groundless as sertions of the designs entertained by the owners of the Intelligencer, (a matter in which we have uo concern.) and whatever may be his opinion as to what he denominates "the groesness of our first assault upon him," we can assure him that he can not even excite, to use his own elegant language, our "regretful despise:" We leave him, there fore, where he ssys out attack left him, which ??did not add to hit detire for any other intercourse than that held by the imagined potentate9 of ano ther region, as described by tbe prince of English poets," (Milton, we presume, describing the fallen angels); assuring him however that we have no desire for any such intercourse as that which he has so happily appropriated to himself. As to the merits of the controversy between him and our co-worker we have nothing to say, and if the editor of the Gazette had confined himself to his course alone, we should have taken pleasure in leaving the matter to be settled between tbem in their own way. As to his reflections upon our "debut and infancy," we have nothing to say, nor will we name even, per contra, what might by acme perhaps, be considered as the evidences of "imbecile age;" but will only remark that what ever may be the failings or wants of youth, there is still time and room for improvement, but that age has no such prospects before it?but gets wea ker and weaker, inore and more wayward and fret ful, until it arrives at a "second infancy," in which it sadly terminates. If the editor of the Gaxette, then, will but be admonished by "the years which pass over his head, and tbe grey hairs that he teet in it," he will perceive at once that his wholesale attack of yesterday was gratuitous and unjust. and however much it may comport with the character of the "potentates" to whom he refers, is unworthy the true dignity of the editor ol a "respectable journal." We feel that we should apologise to our readers lor troubling them with such matters on Christmas moraine, but we felt it due lo ourselves to notice the remarks to which we have referred, regretting, as we do, tbe necessity which impels us thereto, and sincerely hoping that we shall i:ot have occasion again to trouble them upon this or similar subjects. Tbe Presidency and Vice Presidency, ilr. King, tbe Vice President elect, on Monday, aent in his reMgnatiou as tlietpresiding officer, of the Senate. We publish his letter uf resignation in another column. Mr. Atchison, of Missouri, was then unanimously chosen the presiding officer in his place. Mr. King still retains his seat in the Senate as a Senator from Alabama, add will, after the 4th of March, if he survives till then, be again President of tbe.SenaW, by virtue of his office ;of Vice Presi dent of tbe the United States, llis illness, which caused his present resignation, it is feared, may prove fatal l,efore the 4th of March arrives, which is tbe day lixed for his inauguration, and has awakened an inquiry as to who would (succeed him. TheFprovisions of the Constitution are as follows: "The elector? shall meet in their respvetive States and vole by ballot for President and Vice President, one of whom, a^ltsast^shall.not be an inhabitant of the same Slate with themselves. They shall name in the ballots the person voted for^isPresident, and in distinct ballots, the person voted for as Vice President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice President, and of the number of votes for each; which list they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to tbe seat of government of the United State, directed to tbe President of the Senate. The President of tbe Senate shall, in the presence of thi Senate and House of Representa tives, open all the certificate^ and tbe Jvotes stall than be counted, Ac. "The person having the greatest number of votes tsVYet Piesident, shall be Vice President, if such .numbersbalt be a majority of the whole number of .elector* appointed; and if no person haves major ity, then from t?e two highest numbers on 'tit list, the Senate hiUi.l choose the Vice PaEsioEXT. A quorum for the purpose shall consist of tirti thttdsof the whole number of Senators, aud a ma jority of the whole number shall be Accessary to a choice.','. , We se^ it suggested in the Philadelphia News, Upt in ,qase Mr. King flwuld.die "tyfe thedty $xed for the pounting j of .the xptes," that it womld then-devolve on the Senate to^eleot frorn the "two ^(gjieston t^ur list" the Vioe presidentj aada# no - ???? person has any votes bat Mr- King and Mr. jam. amd the votes of ttefoonr bring rirtu jaacciled by his death?this seems to be the! fusion of tbe News?the Senate wotikl hare' to declare Mr. Graham, Vice President elect?he being the only living person who has any votes. We cannot see the force of jmeh an "guraent, that leads to such a conclusion. Mt. King Was tlected Vice Prudent on the flr^t Wednesdayo December, inst., When the elpitori of the several States, met and voted for Pres>deiU and Vice Pres ident. What the Sedilte has t? do now, is to open the votes thus made, and ascertain who is elected There is nothing ?id'm the Constitution abou the person electoJ -Oytng Uforf the day fixed for the counting of tl.e votes, nor does the language of the constitution admit the construction, that.n such a case the votes cart are to be dMUreg v^ j If Mr. King Ihould dieItfort the fourth ol Match, it would be the same, as far as his successor U concerned, as if he had...died after.,_Ihe pifii d^i^r of the Senate, Mr. Atchison,,will be, by vWuh of that office, the Vice President, with the same power and duties that Mr. King bad, when he, on the death of Gen. Taylor, and the transfer of Mr. Fillmore to the office of President, was elected the presiding officer of the Senate. Anotter inquiry has been started out of the pro-1 bable death of Mr. King, and that is, who wou d succeed Gen. Pierce, as President, if he should not live out the term of his office. The consUtu tion referred to Congress to provide oy law for thai exigency. They accordingly passed a law, which declared that, in the event of the death of both the President and Vice President, the presiding officer of the Senate first, and.'if there.be no presiding officer, then the Speaker or the House of Repre sentatives, shall act as President, till an election by the people can be held to supply the vacancy. If the death occurs two months before the first Wednesday in December, succeeding, then the election shall be held in that year, but if not, then the year after: provided, however, the tenu of thu deceased President does not expire on the fourth of March next succeeding his death, in which case provision is to be made for an imme diate election. The law is sileutas to how long the President, so elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold the office, and the conclusion therefore seems to be necessarily, that he will hold it for four years, the term fixed by the constitution. So if it should occur that both the President and Vice President should die in office, or by resignation or otherwise vacate their offices, there would be a change in the year in which the elections are now .fixed to be held.?[Baltimore Patriot. 03* The following is Mr. King's letter of resig | nation: Washington Citt, Dec. 20, 1852.

Gray, Esq: Three ?hundred and fifty passengers passed over the To ledo, Norwatt and Cleveland Railroad yesterday, first day of opening. M- *? The Kentucky Senator's Case. We make ihe fallowing extracts from a speech delivered by Mr. Hale of New Hampshire, to the Senate, on the lGth instant?for the/un that is in what is said:? ^r. Jfale: I have been speaking of the past; hut something occurred in the debate* of the Sen ate yesterday, that I confess introduced a different opinion in my mind, and that was tho hearing of the remarks submitted by the honorable senator from Connecticut, (Mr.. Toticey,) I confess that the remarks which he favored the Senator with in vested the subject with new interest, and piesent bd it under a new aspect, because lie suggested, and I think with great truth and great propriety that there was a question back of the whole of this subject, which had never yet been presented to the consideration of the Senate, and, so for as he knew, had never been considered at nil. I listen ed with a great deal oCinterest and a great'deal of itxpeoUtion,__ftnd,au _earm.st. desire. lor light, to know what this gieat question could be that laid back of everything that bad heretofore engaged the attention of the Senate in all past time; and when he announced that question which laid back of ev erything and was to decide everything which came after it, I acceded at once to everything that he said?1 acceded to it all when he announced that question to be whether a man could resign his senatorinlofiice after his death. And I believe thai in all the histories of debates, in all forensic clubs, in all academical associations, in all moot courts. In all lyceums for the exercise of the ingenuity of youth in perfecting a talent for forensic disputa tion, this question has never before been started.? I believe that we are indebted entirely to the saga city and fertility of imagination of the honorable senator from Connecticut, (Mr. Toucey,) for the flashing upon us of this great question which is to decide this whole matter. I confess that wheu 1 first heard that question it struck me as entitled to everything that the senator hail said about it. I had been heretofore content, in the unsophisticated ignorance ufmy reflections, to test with unshaken confidence upon the an nouncement ofRevelation, there was 'no work, nor device, nor knowledge nor wisdom in the grave, whither thou goest.' And I suppose it wns settled not only by the experience of the living, but by the teachings of Revelation, that a dead man could not resign?that the most he could do was tn be re signed, [laughter;] and if 1 had seen stalking into the Senate chamber from the charnal house, the ghost of a departed Senator, coming hete to tender his resignation, I should have said that there was.a question even back of the question brought up by the senator from Connecticut, (Mr. Toucey,) and 1 should have said to him in the language of the poet: ? ? ? ? "O, answer me: Let me not buifit in ignorance! but tctl Why thy cannonixed bones, hearsed in death, Have burst theli cerements! "Why the sepulchre. Wherein we saw ihee quietly Inurncd, Math opened his ponderoua and marble jaws To cast thee up again!" I should have called upon the ghost to answer that question before I would have gone into the consideration of the question as to whether he had a right to resign. That is what 1 would have done; und 1 think the Senate owe a debt of gratitude to the honorable gentleman from Connecticut (.Mr. Toucey,) forsetting forth this.question so fully, frankly, and freely as he has, and discussing it withnllthe sagacity with which he has brought to the consideration of so grave a question. [Laugh ter.] Can a dead man resign? No, sir, 1 do not believe he can. [Laughter.] The honorable senator puts it in this way; 'Whether a senator can resign his senatorial office after his death.' It is not whether while he ia liv ing, he shallmake a resignation, to take effect af ter his death, but whether he can resign after his death. Sir, I think this ought to go to a commit tee, [laughter]?that is to say, if there is any real doubt aboutit. But I am at a loss to know wha' committee it ought to be referred to. I do not know of any proper committee here. 1 are not certaio that this question would not be most properly con sidered by those members that stand outside of "a healthy organisation?it seems to me would con stitute the most proper tribunal to consider the question. 1 accede all the importance to it that is claimed for this question, and 1 suppose coming from thesource which it does, and considering the distinguished possition which the senator from Connecticut (Mr. Toucey) has heretofore holden as the law officer of the Government, I take itthat this must be considered as the judicial view taken by the healthy organization which he represents, and as such I shall consider it. I am sorry that we are so destitute of precedents on such a question. 1 have, since the question was started upon my mind, looked through such authcr ities as I could command, and . which would be calculated to throw light upon the question; and I cannot find, amid the vagaries of poetry, that the thing has ever been discuised or started before. I have endeavored to go back in my own recollec tions, and quilting the living world, to go into the realms of sleep; and yet, 1 confess that, even wheu reason lets go the rein and the wildest vngaries of an unbridled imagination have run through my thoughts, the idea has never presented itsell to my mind whether a dead man could resign office. And 1 do not believe that, practically considered, it will require decision at this time. I do not believe that there are any dead men that will, hereaftir, under take to resign; [Laughter,] and I think that, until that case is presented, it is not worth while to waste our time and ingenuity inspeculating upon?to say thelesst?such an improbable occurrence. Well, sir, letting all that go, being content for one to rest upon the assurances of the Revelation that there is no device in the grave?and this must be a device if it is anything?I will let that part of the question pass and will come from the land of the dead to the land of the living, and endeavor to consider this question as it presents itself to my mind. **?*???** So far as any other considerations may bo sup posed to weigh with ine upon the matter, except the simple desire to do justice, the honorable gen tic man (Mr. Dixon)?the honorable Senator I should say, fori think he is a Senator?will pa:don me for saying that between him and his predecessor, Mr. Meriwether, I am as indifferent as a man can well be. I do not know that, looking at all their rela tions, personal and political, 1 would turn my hand one way or the other in order to decide this ques tion. They both belong to "healthy political or ganic tions." [Laughter.] Mr. Meriwether be longs to one rather swollen, which does not indi cate entire health; and Mr. Dixon to another rank, and that does not indicate entire health either. [Laughter.] They are both alike to me, so far as political otganization ate concerned; and the slight acquaintance that I have with either of them has been all that one gentleman has a right to expect from another. I do not know that I ever was in all my life placed in a situation in which 1 feltsuch indifference, as far as that is concerned, as I am in this matter. But I am desirous that the Senate shall decide this matteT lightly. 1 was exceedingly gratified with the discusssion that took place at the last ses sion, in the case of the contested election between two honorable gentlemen from Florida [Messrs. Mallory and Yulee]; and I believe the Senate then came to an unanimous verdict. There was no dissenting opinion then, because, in the judgment of the Senate, the case wns perfectty clear. That case struck the minds of the whole Senate as per fectly clear; but no more clearly than this case appears to my mind. But, while I state the clear ness of my own opinion, I beg 1 may not be con sidered as, for a moment, questioning the integrity and intelligence of those who differ from me. I have lived too long in the world, and I have seen too many ingenious questionsstarted, and too many plain.questions disputed, to be astonished at any thing. My experience in the Senate has taught me something which reminds me of an anecdote told of a young practitioner at law, who, when the Judge pronounced an opinion contiary towhathe expected, expressed himself astonished atthedeci sion. The Judge thought it was an impeachment of the integrity of the Court, r.nd wasabout to deal with him accordingly, when an older member of the bar got up to apologise for the young man. Says he:?"Your Honor, I think that my young friend meant no contempt of the Court; and 1 think that when he has practiced in your Honor's Court as long as I have, he will not be astonished at any decision you may give." [Laughter.] Well, sir, that has been just exactly the case with me. It seems to me that I have practiced too long in your Honor's Court, Mr. President, to be astonished at any thing done hete. [Laughter.] And, sir, ingenious as it: the question the honor able Senator from Connecticut has sprung upon us, I remember to have met with one equally inge nious, no more easily settled. I remember that when Captain Symme?, of Ohio, was lecturing up on his theory of hollow spheres he chanced to come to the place where 1 was in college, and gave no tice to the young men in college that he would de liver a lecture on that subject. The young men assembled, and he gave a very interesting lecture; but there was an ingenious young Irishmatvin the college, who, whfen the lecture was over, told the Captain that he did not fee through it entirely, and he wanted to propound a question. The Captain seemed to listen, with great deference to hear the question, and it was thus:?When yon come to the opening of the earth, to enter the hollow sphere, the atmosphere combining with the hemis phere would produce a concussion, and he could not understand how animal heat was to be genlr . a question which Captain-Symmes had never solved- It was a very ingenious one, and difficult' of solution. Having seen so many ingenious questions difficult of lolution, and having seen so many, which tomy mind appeared perfectly plain, disputed upon, I bow with deference to the wisdom, and integrity, and cauJur of gentlemen u'hodifler sowidely from me But, sir. tins is n new age, n^new era, anu one of new revelations. And if there be anything in this modern?I don't know whether to call.it sci ence or humbug, J-tread .cautiously; but if there be anything in this modern question of spiritual, communications?spiritual tappings as they ara vulgarly called?this question whether dead mei\ can resign or not may assume a practical impor tance of which we have as yet poorly conceived* I am sorry to see gentlemen laughing. I am sorry that when we arc dealing with such grave subjecta as this, honorable Senators cannot bring to its con sidemtion that gravity to which it is so eminently entitled. Can dead men resign? I ask whether, in the wildest vagaries of thought, our imaginations have ever grasped such a question as that? 1 think it is well that the question comes up at this time. The great. excitement of the > political contest is , over. The passions are lulled. The .overwhelm ing surges of a tremendous political majority have silenced the voice of faction and fanaticism; nnd the public mind is now in a favorable state to go into the consideration of this important .question whether dead.uieu can resign their offices or not. And, sir, as the honorable Senator from Connecti cut says, this is a question which has never been presented to the Senate before, and upon which thtre are no precedents. I have 110 knowledge or intimation from any quarter tliat the question has ever been brought into consideration; my experi ence agrees with his. The question is, whether a Senator can lesign his senatorial office after death. Why, sir, the realities of life and the solemnities of death all concentrate in this great question. It deals not only with the things that are now; it not only concerns the living, temporal, palpable things with which we are surrounded, and which appeal to the senses; but it goes beyond even that?itgoes beyond the pageautr) of the funeral and the sol emnity of the tomb; it looks into the vista of fu turity, although the veil which hides it has never been withdrawn, and it asks that solemn question whether those that live in the Lord can resign. I know, sir, that poets have asked?I wish I could quote poetry, but I cannot; I have got the idea, but not the verse?poets haveasked: 11 Do they lovo there still?" That question has been celebrated in son?; and the wish has been expressed that some bird from the shadowy land might come to visit us, that we might ask? " Do they love there still ?" But poetry must stand back, and if ever from the land of shades the winged messenger should ap proach to whisper something of that upper world, the question will be. Do they resign oliice there t [Laughter.] I find, sir, that it is in vain forme to try to invest this matter with the seriousness to which it is enti tled. But, sir, leaving this question, which I do not believe can be satisfactorily settled by any committee at the present session, I ask the Senate to take a common sense and practical view?the upper-region view?the view which presents itself to those who are invested with flesh and blood. Head the plain language of Mr. Clay. See what his deliberate intentions were; how he understood himself; how the Couimonwcath of Kentucky un derstood hiin; how the Legislature of that Com monwealth understood him; how the Governor un derstood him; how Mr. Meriwether understood him; how every member of this Senate undersbtod him when he resigned his seat. Is there any doubt in that?the least in the world ? Yes, s:r; there is. Gentlemen say that they doubt; and that is evidence that there is a doubt. But, sir, let it be remembered in all coming time, for the honor of the Senate, that the history which teaches there was a doubt whether the Hon. Mr. Dixon was enti- j tied to a seat upon the floor of the Senate was! coupled with that other doubt whether dead men can resign their offices ! I WHAT THE EAST INDIES COST THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. "Men-ie England" is not exempt from those diffi culties ever consequent upon a struggle for the "loaves nnd fishes" and spoils of office. The select committee on Indian A Hairs, it is highly probable, will be renewed at the present session of the House of Commons; and the Whig journals are exceeding ly fearful that the civil patronage of India will be madeover for twenty years to the Times. Thissame civil list is a very nice thing for those who are so fortunate as to be upon it, anion filing, as it does, in the aggregate to about ?3,500,000, exclusive of the charge of collection, orabout sixteen-twentieths of the whole Indian revenue?while thecivil list of Great Britain only amounts to about one-sixth and a half one-hundredths of revenue. The number of superfluous Governments?there being no less tiian seven of them, nnd monstrous salaries?are the principal causes of this great extravagance. A civil officer, from the day he arrives in India, receives the full pay of u Lieutenant-Colonel in the British Infantry, and after ten years' service has a pension of ?1,000 per annum. The salary of the Governor-General is ?26,000 per annum, (five times as much as the President of the United States) besides a furnished palace, any quantity of servants, public feasts at public cost, all his travelling expense and the snug sum of ?6,000 for outfit and passage money. There are four Counsellors to advise him at salaries of ?10, 000 each; one of them, the Commander-in-chief, who does nothing.in particular, has ?6,000 per an num in addition to his military capacity. The Gov ernors of Madras and Bombay have not quite so much, but are cruelly obliged to manage on ?15, 000 per annum; while their Counsellors suffer on the short allowance of only ?8,000. Thus, the Executive Legislative Government of India costs about ?2,300,000. The Judicial branch is not far behind. It costs about ?2,000,000 more, which is a little shoit of ?700,000 more than that of Great Britain and Ire land. There are four Queen's Courts, three Supreme and one Recorder's Court, with eight Judges in all. Their annual cost is about ?276,000. The Chief Justice of Bengal has ?8,000 a year, and those of Madras and Bombay ?6,000. The Puisnes of Ben gal have ?G,000 each, and those of Madras and Bombay ?6,000. The Recorder of the three east ern settlements, w ho travels over 500 miles to ful fil his duties, has ?1,500, and all have pensions, after ten yeais* service, of from ?1,000 to ?2,000 per year, besides outfit and passage money. 'flier#* are also extensive ecclesiastical establish ments, consisting of Bishops, Arch Deacons, Chap lains, Presbyterian Ministers of the Scotch Kirk, and others, all of whom receive salaries, pensions, outfits, passage money, &c.; but whether they re turn a gtiid pro quo in Indian souls scved is not settled or taken into consideration. The passage money alone, in 1861, amounted to ?19,400 lls9d. Reward for services is not, in any degree, pro portionate to the dignity or usefulness of the of fice; all are rewarded as near as can be alike, the on'y principle governing being that every officer should be paid as large usum as possible. Supreme Judges and Collector of Taxes receive the same salaries. A Chief Provincial J udge has ?3,800 a year, and an Exciseman exactly the same sum. The pension list is open to all alike, after the pre scribed time of service, from the small tax Collector, \?ith his ?2,000 a year, to an Indian Counsellor, growing bilious on ?10,000. Such "spoils" as these are worth having; but the contrast between these enormous salaries paid to the English officers and those paid to the English subordinates is very great. There are 10,000,000 Indians, and in all India only about 400,000 Eng lishmen. There are three classes of native Judges who receive salaries amounting to ?522, ?306 nnd ?134 per year. The first draws just one-tenth of the salary of an English Supreme J udge, the second one-twelfth of the salary of an English Provincial Judge, nnd the third less than one-twentieth of what is paid to a subordinate Collector of land tax. The exorbitant salaries ot the English officers in India were fixed at a time when it was thought to be rich in mineral wealth; but it has proved poor enough; since, the wages of i he laboring classes ore only two pence a day, aid 100,000,000 of people only contribute ?2,000,000, or about one-half of what a quarter of people contribute in Great Bri tain! The salaries of the Governor-General and Judges were fixed 80 years ago, anu some high sub ordinate officer GO years since, when a voyage to India occupied six months and was very expensive. It can now be made easily and agreeably in thirty days, and one one may live in Calcutta almost as cheap as he can in London and enjoy the same luxuries that the metropolis affords. An East India Director, with bis euormous pa tronage to bestow, is certainly a man to doff oue's hat to, and whose smile and favor are not to be despised. But all .this goes to show that much of these possessions, upon some of wibch the sunrise flag is being hoisted every hourou4 of the twenty four, costs more than it comes to; and that it may Be all very well to boast of, but it is an exceedingly expensive luxury to keep. 1 Genuine Viroinianjsm.?It is not known to the majority of our readers (wedoubt, indeed, whether it is to adozen of them) That Virginia barrel tim ber and hoop poles arc shipped to Boston?made into flour barrels?and*then sent back here, and sold to our millers. ?
