THE NEW JERSEY RESOLUTIONS.

The following Preamble and Resolutions passed the House of Assembly of this state on Saturday, by a vote of 27 to 21, and will doubtless pass Council to-day. If Senators Frelinghuysen and Southard disobey the instructions here given, after the decisive verdict rendered by the People at the recent election in this state, it is unnecessary for our Legislature to interfere in the affairs of Government. This is the second time they have been requested by the People to declare their sentiments in the Senate chamber, and if they now refuse, they take upon themselves an awful responsibility.

RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, since the last adjournment of Congress, the question has been distinctly put to the people of New Jersey, upon the prominent measures of the present administration of the General Government, and more especially those relative to the Bank of the United States, and their opinions approving those measures, have been emphatically expressed through the ballot boxes—Therefore,

1. Be it Resolved, by the Council and General Assembly of the State of New-Jersey, That they concur in, and adhere to, the Resolutions of the Council and General Assembly of this State, passed on the eleventh day of January and twenty-first day of February last, relative to the Deposites, and re-charter of the United States Bank, which Resolutions, they believe, truly express the opinions, and accord with the wishes of a majority of the people of this State.

2. Resolved, That our Senators from this State be instructed to vote for expunging from the Journal of the Senate of the United States, the resolution passed at their last session; declaring, 'That the President in the late Executive proceedings, in relation to the public revenue, had assumed upon himself authority and power not conferred by the constitution and laws, but in derogation of both.'

3. Resolved, That the Gov. of this State be requested to forward a copy of the above Resolutions to each of our Senators and members in the House of Representatives, at the opening of the next session of Congress.
