ted and passed unanimously by the Whig General Committee of the city of New-YOrk on the 24th ult They breathe the spirit of patriotism, and should be followed by like spirit in other parts of the country

 Whereas it is the constitutional right and duty of every legislative body to pass decaratory resolutions on questions affecting the public welfare and where as in the legitimate exercise of this right the Senate of the United States in the session of 1884, passed the o lowing resolution :" ResOLUed, That he President in the 0te erecWUe proceeding relation to the pubc rev enue has GssGn'ed upon hiMse authority Gd pOOer not cOerred by the consultation and L0Ws but der0gGtSOR o both :" and whereas the Constitution of the United States declares. that each House of Congress shall keep journal of it's prOceedngs;.' and twenty:our members ot the present Senate; in disregard of the dignity and character of their own body, and acua- ted by an unworthy Shbserviency to executive power have resolved that the said resolution be erp"ged therefore,

 Resolved, Tha. the said erpunging resolutions do blot and destroy the journal of the ot the Senate, and are plain and palpabe violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution; Bat if they only mark with disapprobation the resolution they profess to eEpGnge then, in the other they postrate the Senate and ;he sovereignty of the States, the pre- negatives and sovereignty of the people, the cOnsu- Executive, They register the will ofthe Executive.

 Resolved. That the twenty-fOu Senators who voted for the exPnngng resolutions have betrayed their high trust as Senarors-have inflicted deep and lasting disgrace on the character of the country-and have proved themselves to be better fitted to register the edcts of Of despot than to be the representatives of 1reemen.

 Resolved, That though they have defaced their re- cords the Senate cannot affect the truth o history, ssle uerdict cf posterity.

 In giving place to the following communication from

 gentleman in the l6, district, we must beg leave to remark that .ws can conceive of no reason why tbc party should have taken up Mr. MINER for the Senate except that they could not agree upon man whoha heretofore gone with them all lengths. MT. Miner, it he be Van Buren, we consider of the very best men of the party-as gentleman of candor, ability, and political integn y-as, in bref the very antpodes ofthe candidate of the party in the l7h district And suppose the main purpose of our correspond is contrast the professions with the practice of the leaders of the party in power in this state:- FOR THE ENQUIRER.

 | MATTHEW MINER, ESQ.

 The man whose name stands at the head ofthis ar- tce has good right to be candidate for Senator any other individuals but what is little remarkable is that he should be selected by party which claims lN the republicanisn, and au the democracy now ex- tant. say it is little remarkable that such party should select hghtoned federalist to be their cham pon in the Senate can find no apology for it unless it be that he is Deputy the very worthy Post Mas ter in the village where he resides. The party do not cair, him republican, bat SC: i.'.n up as an "a-aiable' candidate On the 3d or 4th ballot he obtained majority of the votes of the wise men there assembled, whereupon the chairman of the meeting, who also chairman of the committee to draft resolutions, when the fact was announced that they had balotted solemnly resolved that he be re- commended to the party for their support. Why re- commended not on account of the superior merits of the candidate; not account of his firm political integrity; not on account of any republicanism he possesses or such thing the candidate himself nev- CT dreamed ofD not account of his urbanity Ot manners or amiabeness of disposition; but simply be- cause Samuel D. Orton, Esquire, Asa Pickett, and a few other kindred spirits, with the aid of the chairman in Legal caucus assembled, directed that should be so. The caucus, so far as we can learn from the names disclosed, composed of men whose princi- pal object is to keep this side up and secure such offices fall in their wake of men who even thirst for the feshpots of Egypt"

 The next resolution expresses the danger the chair man apprehends defeat. He says there is neces- sity for increased vigilance and entire unanlmty to se- cure even a majority for Mis candidate. Why the necessity of such increased vigilance, and such unity of action, if they have confidence in the merits of the candidate The chairman then goes on to resolve

 

 form military service, and sustain the commonwealth by their valor and industry. How many taxes did he ever pay? How much military service has he perfor- med? When and where and how did he ever sustain the commonwealth by his valor and industry? He also attempts excite prejudice or sympathy both by resolving that his party is also composed of the poorer and mddlng classes in community and at the same time recommends for their support one of the most wealthy monopolsts in the District Away with such nonsense-such hypocrisy-t is worthy and on- | ly worthy of the source from whence it emanated

 Man. Worsh;p--We find the following article, being ukase of the Emperor of Russia, issued some ten years since, in many of our exchange papers as an offset and contrast the aduaton which is constant ly poured forth upon the Chief Magistrate of this country. Our President professes himself republican, and receives all the incense poured forth upon him though it was deserved; while the Emperor of the Russas reprmands his followers for their gross adu- laton in a just and proper manner:-

 UKASE.-MoscosO, October 27th, 1927. During my late travels through the provinces, was obliged to by certain of the clergy in different parts, which con tained unbecomng praises of me-praises, which can only be ascrbed unto God. And as am convinced, cry blessing Aoweth unto us through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ aOnes and that every man. be he who he may, without Christ is full only of evil there- the hand of God had been evidently manifested be- fore the whole world, is to give unto men that glory which belongeth unto Almighty God alone. ac- coming expressis of praise. 10 the holy synod ogve instructions all the doces2 bishops, that they hem selvess and the clergy under them may, on similar oc casions future, refrain from all such expressions of AIea0 that fIno.c
