and lta1- 1r embe I -ling a portion of the union with fuIs which ought not to be applied to that purpose Resolved That we conceive the late Tariff of 1328 injurious to the interest of the greater part of the union inasmuch altho' apparently toustitutional by the caption yet not in spirit because when a law is passed for certain purposes and intended for others is palpably wrong and ought to be amended Resolved 'that South Carolina in her usual devotion to the Union would spend millions and sacrifice their blood in defending her constitutional rights for the general welfare but on the other hand she would suffer all privations and sufferings sooner than submit to oppression or Front the first settlement of this country a continual intercourse was Carried mit with foreign nations to

vital injury resulting front a continuance of that pernicious and partial oppression as it latls a contrary effect than expected considering our national debt and current annual and other indispensable expenses incident to our government require great revenue mai if this insufferable policy is continued the nation rill be obliged to resort to heavy capitation and internal and

were decidedly in favor of calling a Convention The Committee will sit again at II o'clock to-morrow Pursuant to notice Mr Aiken introduced a Bill to require the Tax Collector of St philip and St

stand upon the part of this State against the operation attic Tariff Law Resolutions upon the same subject were also submitted by Mr Wilson Air Verdier and 31r Graham Those offered by the two last named Senators contemplate the postponement of any movement on the part of this State until the effect shall be known of another application to the magnanimity of our oppressors The folios Mg are

DECEMBER lOth The House suet this moroing at 9 after going through several Reports and Resolutions postponed the further discussion of tb Tariff for the purpose of taking up the Report of the Committee in relation to Chancellor Thompson The House accordingly resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole upon that subject (Mr Wardlaw in the Chair) when Mr 1Val1ace Thompson moved (nod supported his motion at some length) that the Committee ask to be discharged from the conside ration of the matter His motion was further stip ported by Mr Freston and Mr Gee and (Trussed by Messrs 'foomer Lcgare nod Holmes The Committee determined finally that the testimony reported by the Special Committee should be the boor appointed for the inauguration of the Governor being near at hand the Committee th en rose reported progress and obtained leave to it again at '2 o'clock At 12 o'clock The inauguration of the Governor and Lieutenant-Governor elect took place with the customary ceremonies Mr Miller (Gib Gov ernor elect) returned his acknowledgments for the very flattering manner in which he had been elected And then in a very aniunted and impressive address gnve his opinion of the present crisis efour affairs in relation to the General Government and ofter declaring that a wouht not consider himself bound by his oath to rotect the Constitution of the United States to support an unconstit otional Act of Congress pledged himself to support any proceeding which the Legislature might think proper to adopt in relation to the Tariff He and Mr Willionts (Lieutenant-Goveruor) then took the usual oaths of office administered by the Speaker The inauguration of the Governor having taken place the House went again into Connnittee of the Thole on the Report respecting Chancelior Tbonipson The testimony reported by the Special Committee was then read by one of the Solicitors after whnh Mr Irby renewed the motion that tne Ceinniittee ask leav to be discharged and adrocate his motion warmly The motion was resisted by MeFsra Axsou and Nooni and still further supported by Messrs Dimino Smith Dull Pres-I ton and Harper 'Ile grounds generally taken in support of the motton were that the charges against the accused relote to time long his duct forthe last two years Las been perfectly unexceptionable and correct--that the necessities of the State do not require his his abilities are of the first that be discharges all his duties is Oh the utmost punctuality and that the Legisla titre is not bound by the precedent in a similar case at the last that the lite of the Legislature should not be occupied with co estimis ofminor importance when the situatirm oi-our affairs with the -general goverment requirn its almost exclusive attention and regard Thin motion was also opposed by Messrs Frost and finally hot Mr Legate then submitted nlesolu tion That Chancellor Tbonipson be impeached of misdemeanors in office" wflicli was nonce(' to by the Coninittee awl reported to the -House by which the consideration of it was on tnotino postponed until to-morrow The House then adjourned Extract of another svitc Yesterday th Senate resol vied itself into a Committee of the NVItolc lr Evans ill the chair cm the resolutions submitted by Messrs ricabroolc Graham and Verdier as relation to the Tara The debate was commenced by nt O-etilirook who sole ported his propositions in a speech of considerable length After niludivg to the I'rave iitinertalice of the subject and the settled conviction of ns to the gross injustice sectional charaeli-r wild unconstitutionality eif the prohibitory system he enter eil into a frain elf reasoning to shew the dins genius lendenv of tht doctrine of passive obedience and non-resistance Ibis positions in reference Innis of his inquiry the authorities in stippinit of them and the illustrationii iotrod aced were nine) and appropriate In the course of his areutileut proved that the constitution cf the United States bad been repeatedly and us tinily violated by a faction's the operation of to hose deeds was marked in the olation around the governmeot WrItt divested of every feature of a representative democracy and that the ou ly altereative left Send' Carolina was absolute unconditional submission or a Erni and um wa vering resistance Ile contended that tins move i i of South Carolina proved that her situation was n- fiuitely worse now than it was when she wits the colony of a foreign power and be avowed his solemn conviction that the Act of 1824would soon depopulate the State Linder the pressure of our calamities besaid that we would be justified before God and man ih unfurlingthe banuer of that the matter issue was literally a question of life or death to the citizeniof Carolina and that to adopt any other course than that indicated by the Manly awl vigilant spirit which should ever characterize a freeman would be but to hug the chains with which we are manacled Ills arguments and historical allusions in refereneeto this to-plc aud the isumereus facts he developed were strong and conclusive: Mr Seabrook then pmceeded to shoe that the period had arrived when duty interest and tha preservation of gar domestic aitars should induce South Carolina to entrench itself in its sovereiguly In descanting on this subject lie referred to the absence of all hope founded on melancholy experience that auy remonstrance would avail us aught To sustain him in this position he alluded to the fate of the late protest of the Legislature against the restrictive system The 1111011iMOLI5 declaration of our members of Congress the avowed opinions of the advocates of the Tariff of protectiou and the late Message of the President of the United was of opinion that power when stimulated by self-interestcouldonly be checked by the exercise of (moral) power In further elucidation of his arguments he adverted to the cue toms regulation of Great Britain The increasing influence of the manufacturing interest the depre dation and insecurity ofproperty of every description in this State the great loss which Carohua has experienced in her black population since IRA The emigration actual and contemplated of many of our mosi wealthy and distinguished citizens and to the fact no longer to be concealed that the direct and inevitable tendency of the Tariff policy is the emancipation of our coloured labourers Mr Ilan discussed the question as to the constitutional competency of the Legislature to annul an net of Congress he was of opinion that the Legislature could exercise every power not expressly reserved to the people and that it was not necessary at the present time to assemble the people in con veutiou that the object contemplated by the constitution to be effected by a convention was to correcbreaches ()film Constitution in the event of any one or more of the departments of Government committing encroachments on the chartered authorities of the others and in confirmation of this position be quoted analogous cases takemfrom the history ot the states Mr argued to cw that the convention could not transcend the limits of its commission unless it were disposed to trample the Constitutiou under foot and to revolutionize the government If the peoples he said were ripe for anarchy and civil war they could attain their end with )ut the aid of a convention be regretted deeply the fears which had been excited on this subject and expressed a hope that if it should be found to be expedient to assemble the rtOr le la conventiouthat there should be but one feeling and one voice on thematterafter reiterating his belief that the only mode to preserve the Constitutinn in its purity was to resist every encroachment on it lie coucluded with an appeal to the honor megnauimity and patriotism of the Senate and invoked it to save the State from disgrace and destruction I have given you but a skeleton of Mr S's remarks I
