peared to me that I could not formally do it
jwithout incurring the imputation of presump-
tuousriess or iudelicacy. Will you then, my
dear sir, whitli whom I ‘ have so often had the
Jiappiness to be associated in the public coun-
cils, coneent to be the organ of making them
. known, if necessary to the Convention. Should
my name not be presented to its consideration
for the Presidency. it will not be proper or ne
eessary to make the communication 3 but if it
should be, I confide the manner of doing it to
' your judgment and sense of propriety.
‘With f'crvent wishes for the prevalence of
 - ood feeling and harmony in the Convention,
1-? . Lam cordially and constantly your friend,
‘é H. CLAY.
 . Mr. Livingston of N. Y. here rose and nom-
"‘- -inatcd HENRY CLAY, as a candidate for the
Presidency. He accompanied the nomination
~_ with an abel and appropriate address. The
_ - —~Baltimore Chronicle says, the aged appear-
: ' ance of the speaker, the tremor of his voice,
l and his eloquent appeal in favor of the great
' orator of the west, were irresistible.
Before the vote was taken it was unanim-
ously resolved that it should be taken by call-
4_' ing the roll, each person naming his candidate.
_ Every member named HENRY CLAY.
, A commzttee of 7, of which Mr. Everett,of
R” ,Mnss. is chairman, was appointed to prepare
i an address to the people of the United States,
 in behalf of this nomination.
' one from a state was appointed to communi-
cate to Mr.Clay the doings of the Convention.
The Convention then adj. to Wednesday.
When the Convention" met on Wednesday
Gen. Dearborn reported that the committee
had despatcbed a sub-committee to Washing-
ton to wait upon Mr. Clay with the following
letter from the committee :
Baltimore, December 13, 1831.

Hon. Iiznnv Cnxr, _
Sir,--The undersigned have been appoint-

ed a Committeeby the Convention of Nation-

A committee of

because heretofore the same acts have been
done by themselves, it is equivalent to the
actual destruction ofthat instrument,.and the

its powers and unlimited in its away. It is e-
ven now strongly insinuated that the States

measure. lfso. there is already no limit to
Federal power, and our short experience has

straints upon parchment."
' “ A J udicious Tariff will then mean, that
System which will lead to the greater exac-

ed in, lead to the utter subversion of the en-
tire frame of Government. If the lingering
hope which is still entertained, should again
be disappointed, it will rest with the People,
and with you their Representatives, to adopt
measures as may be deemed necessary to
guard them against the evils of a system not
only unconstitutional, but unjust, oppressive
and riiinous—iior will you be deterred by
threats from any quarter, from pursuing the
course which duty requires. The strong arm
of power will never be able to crush the spirit
of freemen, or deter them from exercising
their rights, and interposing barriers to the
progress of usurpation."

Tm: U. S. BArtx.—The President said in
his late Message, that his opinion in regard
to this institution remained unchanged. Mr.
Ritchie. of the Richmond Enquirer, who is a
strenuous opposer of the Bank, calls the Mes-
sage an “. admirable state paper.” Gen.Green
tantalizes Mr. Ritchie by inquiring what he
will think of this “ admirable state paper’:
when he learns that a bill to re-charter the
Brink, the joint production of the Treasury
and the Bank, had already received the cane-
tion of the President, before the Message was
communicated to Congress?

Ina subsequent article Gen. Green says,
it is understood that Mr. Randolph, in his late
address to his former constituents, declared

Gen. Jackson, beause he believed him to be

Jllonday, Dec. 12.—The Vice President
took the chair of the Senate. Petitions were
presented. The election of the ollicers of the
Senate was postponed to Monday next. After
the consideration of Executive business the
Senate adjourned. _ .
In the House, numerous petitions and me-
morials were presented. Among them were
15 from citizens of the society ofpfrientls in
Pennsylvania, prayingfor the consideration of
the question of slavery, with a view to its ab-
olition, and for the abolition of thetraflic in
slaves within the District of Columbia. The
petitions were presented by Mr. John Quincy
Adams, and weie referred to the Committee
on the district. The Speaker laid before the
House a communication froui the Secretary
of the Treasury, transmittting the annual es-
timates for 1832. The Standing Committees
were announced. The President's Message
was tlissected, and referred to appropriate
committees: A short but animated discussion
arose on a proposition to refer the subject of
the U. S. Bank to a select comm. Mr. Mc-
Dufiie moved to refer it to the _comm.ot Ways
and Means. Mr. Wayne objected, on the
ground that the chairman of that comm. (Mr.
M’Dufiie) had heretofore strongly expressed
himselfin favor of re-cliartering the_Bank.
and was not in the habit of giving up his opin-
iens, but he wished to have it go to an unpre-
judiced committee who would collect infor-
mation that wpuld be useful when the question
for re-chartering ‘should come up- Mr- 
also tho’t that a decent respect for the Presi-
dent required that the subject should be fair-
ly examined by an unpledged committee.—-
Mr.. M'Dufi'ie’s motion prevailed by a. large
majority. The House then adjourned.

We have room only for the names of the
members of the most. important Committees.
