FOR 111 ESI IJFNT, HUGH WHITE Great rejoicings to.ik plnru al Cincinnati tipm the recei .1 tho int.dlip.mr-i tbsl the Chirle4oti and Cincinnati Rail rord Bill had passed the Kentucky Legislature. miiim ITcni llarrisnn was nominated for the and Francis Granger for llm Vico Presidency, by tbo Whig Convention which assembled at Columbus, O.iio, on the 22.1 of February. DwpoitG It is worthy of letnark lhat when lh! vo'e was taken in ihe Senntp, upon the Executive P.itroriHgw Bill, introduced by Ml Culbonn, which passed, Mr Benton found il rnnvetiienl to be absent. He was afraid lo vole in l.tvcr of it, bicanno it offend "ihe irly nnd ho could nor vote nainst it, because it was the same II, reiintimi eClilcrntimel puurtu-ilim, even, as AI Wisnaid, to the dotting of lb- i's and the cros-ing oflh-s t's, with the one which be himself introduced during Mr Adams' ndu.inisirntion, and which was then supported by himself and Mr Van Buren.

So much fur coiisistcney mid independence! (0The Union must become rathni more correct both in its grammar and typugrapny biforn wii shall allow lo hi- rolled by its cluil led Jt unmeaning criticisms upon either. The critique in ils last number is worthy the genius and acumen ufitu publisher, audits paternity all will admit without a question. Uflt is very singular and sotnowhal suspicioui that no friend of Judge White can assert principle, or advance a general position, without the cry being immediately raised that he is attacking General Jackson. If lhtr purity of the elective franchise ii contended fir if the dinger of an interference by the General Government w.tb the freedum of elections is pointed out il the necessity of a curtailment of the great and overshadowing patronage of the Executive is advo if, in many the plainest piiuciples nf our constituiion are commended and sustiined the author of such opinions is immediately denounced, and is up an ingr ite, and an enemy of General Jackson. Why is this? an.

I vv'iy are in iutlied Simon Pores so ihin-s'einnud? Worn not these llm hich General Jackson himself very opinions opo-i was supported for the. Presidency the very prin ciples lo wlrcli the repu'llicio piny tifi') was at tached? Men lit ly change, but principles cannot ibey are the sarni yeslord.iy, lo day nnd foreve'. Judge White an I his frimrls occupy ihe dime ground, wlth-h nigral ick-son nnd his friends nc-upied ir We challenge any man lo deny this, or to ua ne a priocij'lu or a measure, for which ibey are th it is ami republican. I'liev are opp to caucuses wo'o the republican p.u Jaekion b-iing ill sir lea Ier, in 182!) ihny wish a redo of Executive patronage the samo principle was co'iteade I for in 132U, as is amply proved by the fiim mis repoit of Mr Benton, Chairman of a Committee, of which Ju lge While Mr fiirt litre wire mi'iers limy are against a rc.niilur succc.iaion in tin-- highest offi ces ofthe govern nont-lliis wa a favo its argument used by the anti-caucus or Jackson paily, in oppo sition to ihe election of Adam? thr-y arts oppo sed lo large apjiropriaiions by Congress, without a specificaiiun ofthe objects fir which such appro priations are made, and ifiny believe in the sovereignty ol the people, an 1 the right they possess to exorcise their own ju Ig nents in selecting their rulers these principles have been supported by tho republicao party, ever since i. had an existence.

Why then, we ask, should the present advocates of all these, measures arid principles be called ihe enemies of Gen'! Jackson, and ofseeki 'g "Io undermine the cause of republicanism? Must not the reply of every candid and conscientious man be; "Because ihe views of men in high places have changed, and their purposes and objects cannot be effected, without the contravention of. many of those principles, of which they were once so enthusiastically ihe advocates?" i.lgo White and his friends are consistent, and is others, and int they, who have changed. They are contending fir the true principles of re. publicauism, fir the true intsrests ofthe people, and, however much they regret to come in contact with those, fr whom, and with whom ihey heretofore acted, their duty to the constitution and their country, imposes a paramount upon them, which they dare not disregard. Abolition.

The following resolution, introduced by Mr Pinck.vey of Charleston S. C. was adopted by the Mouse of Representatives oi the Oth of Feb. by a large majority. Resolved, That all the memorials which havo been offered or may hereafter be presented this House, praying for the abolition of slavery in lb District of Columbia, and also the rosuluHons of- fered by an honorable member from Maine (Mr, Jarvis) with the ameud.ne.it thereto proposed by honorable member liom irguiia, liom Virginia, t.ir vie m.v and everv Oilier paper or proposition iiiai m.

Never was there such a flying fish in air or water: his friends are ashamed of hi-n, and openly deride his imbecility, and the opposition fee and despise his in. potent subserviency lo il lie party power th'vit eut him there. Such is the leader. The adjutant is worthy of such a commander.

The Chairman of llie Committee of Ways and Means, is Churchill C. Cambreleng. It is enough to name him: he was selected us i lie ablest in of the party to take the most prominent and responsible station on the floor. His whole course thus far has preseuled a half pitiable, half ludicrous feebleness oflalenl and ability, which his own parly deplore, the opposition cannot help commisserjliag. This imbecility is exhibited in his ridiculous conduct in regard to the N.

York Belief Bill, which he represented when he presented it as of immense primary, importance lo every citizen of the republic. That hill now sleeps npimt he Clerk's table, although ihere have been may favorable opportunities to call it up for action. And as iflo confess his entire ina- bilaly to do aught for himself, John Y. Mason, of was entreated and finally induced to oiler a resolution, which was carried, pro line vice, by a party vote, giving the precedence of the financial lo all other business, of the whole Then ranks Mr Mason, nf Virgina, of no other force in the party than as coining from that by-all-means-to-be-conciliated state, Virginia, of no great pretensions, and still loss peifurmancc, and then in puny array you have the Vanderpoels, Thomases, Abij ill Manns, Glascocks, F.

J. Smiths, Leonard Jai vises, Dutee J. Pearces and Lanes, and M'Kinn, and the like small game. Y.m sec I do not name your oel B. He is no leader now, because it is said he would not be any longer led.

And these arc the components of the majority in the House. These arc our law-makers. -Tinas, the wielders of the destinies of this Republic! Take om them the name of Andrew Jackson, now written npon their collars, and inscribe upon them any weaker one though it be that the ndnrhoo'c Magician; and think ye the people, (seeing them disarrayed ofthat name wlich alone gave them their present consequence, and undazzled longer by the halo of "glory" which that name shads e' ery where around the place of ils inscription, (will be longer blind to their true interest, and the manner in which those interests are now prejudiced? 1 tell you they iwake from their lethargy, under ihe strong and earnest warnings of their real fiends the friends of the republic and its lasting welfare, and, like Sampson breaking the green withes with which tho Philistines had bound him, will slant up, disenlbral-led from ihe meshes, which the policy of party, the cunning artes of designing demagogues have woven around them.
