ut?.: The resolutions are in" these words
||3^ -Kesohed. -That in the adoption of the Fe
1 -federal Constitution, the States adopting the
{"same acted, severally, -as free, independent,
h^f . and sovereign States, and that each, for it
^ self, by its own voluntary assent, entered the
f??r Union with the view to its increased security
'i against all dangers, domestic as well as for
eign^ and the more perfect and secure enjoy
of its advantages* national, political,
^'^and social.? r Aves, 31? Nays, 13.
C ' Resolved, That in delegating a portion of
their powers to be exercised by the Federal
?Vi*- Government, the States retained, severally,
the exclusive and sole right over their own
domestic institutions -and police, and are
> ? ? -alone responsible for them ; and that any in

"^combination of their citizens, wiih the do
^ mestic institutions and police of the others,
on any one or more ground, or under anv
T'. pretext whatever, political, moral, or reli
!"r^A gious, with a view to their alteration or sub
.^^.version, is an assumption of superiority not
warranted by the Constitution, insulting to
the States interfered with, tending to endan
j _ ger their domestic peace and tranquillity,
- subversive of the objects for which the Con
. stitution was formed, and, by necessary con
> sequence, tending to weaken and destroy the
Union itself.? Ayes, 31 ? Nays, 9.
-Resolved, That this Government was in
? ?? ' stituted and adopted by the several States of
_ ? this Union, as a common agent, in order to
' ; - .cany intp effect the powers which they had
- delegated by the Constitution for their mutu
al security and prosperity ? and that in ful
filment of this high and sacred trust, this
Government is bound so to exercise its powers
as not to interfere with the stability and secu
' rity to the domestic institution of the States
^ that compose the Union, and that it is the
solemn duty of the Government to resist all
" iT attempts by one portion of the Union to use
^ it as an instrument to attack the domestic
v" institutions of another, or to weaken or de
^ stroy such institutions. ? Ayes 31; Nays 11.
Resolved, That domestic slavery, as it ex
^- ists in the Southern and Western Slates of
this Union, composes an important part of
-their domestic institutions, inherited from
their ancestors, and existing at the adoption
of the Constitution, by which it is recognized
1 as constituting an important element in the
apportionment of its powers among the
States; and that no change of feeling on the
part of the other States of the Union, in re
lation to it, can justify them or their citizens
in open systematic attacks theieon, with a
view to its overthrow ; and that all such at
tacks are in manifest violation of the mutual
and solemn pledge to protect and defend each
other given by the States respectively, on
enterias into the constitutional compact,
which "formed the Union, and as such is a
manifest breach of faith, and a violation of
the most solemn obligations. ? Ayes, 34;
Navs, 5.
Instead of the 5th Resolutiun of Mr. Cal
houn, the two following substitutes, proposed
bv Mr. Clay, were adopted :
' Resolved", That the interference by the
citizens of any of the States, with the view
to the Abolition of slavery in the District, is
endangering the rights and security of the
People of the District; and that any act or
measure of Congress designed to abolish
slavery in this District, would be a violation
of the faith implied in the cessions by the
States of Virginia and Maryland, a just cause
of alarm to the People of the slaveholding
States, and have a direct and inevitable ten
dency to disturb and endanger the Union. ?
Yeas, 36 ; Nays, 9. ? .
Resolved. That any attempt of Congress .
' to abolish slavery in any Territory .of the
United States in which it exists, would create
| serious alarm and just apprehensions in the
| States sustaining that domestic institution;
! would be a violation ot good faith towards
the inhabitants of any such territory who
have been permitted to settle with and hold
slaves, because the people of any such Ter
ritory have not asked for the abolition of sla
very therein, and' because, that when any such
Territory shall be admitted into the Union
as a State, the people thereof will be entitled
? to decide that question exclusively for them
selves.? ^eas, 33 ; Nays, 9. j
* The 6th resolution was laid on the table,
on motion of Mr., Preston, who suggested
that it brought up, in a disadvantageous
shape, the question of the. annexation of
Texas.
In regard to this matter, we have constant
ly expressed the opinion that the best, most
dignified and becoming course for the South
ern delegation at W ashington, is. to take no
part in the abolition discusison. lit a ques
tion over which Congress has no jurisdiction^

\ The Comirwnteeffli. Bank, of Boston, has
; t^edv with: $37.0,000 of public .money in its
possession- It was one of the favorite pets of
Chelate Administration. '
In a discussion in^Jthe Senate, on a resolu
tion of enquiry offered by Mr. Webster, -con
nected with the failure of -this bank, the bad
faith of the government towards its creditors,
and the disregard of law on the part of its
r officers, were strikingly- exposed.
" Mr. Webster stated that he had received
letters from- highly respectable sources, in
forming him that a severe loss had fallen upon
a large number. of industriou's'and worthy cit
zens, by the behavior of the government offi
cers?That recently when the pension money
'and fishing bounties became due and applica
tion was made to the Collector and agent at
Boston? he being the officer charged by the
Government with the duty of paying this mo
ney ? he paid the fishermen, not as the law di
rects, in specie, or bills equivalent to specie*
but in the bills of this now broken bank, or in
checks- upon it, which checks, of course, it
'was known would not be paid in specie. Mr.
W. had been given to understand that this
officer refused to pay the bounty due in Trea
sury notes, when asked to do so ; and that he
refused also to pay the money in specie, al
though requested; and , that, substantially
and in-^effext, the parties entitled to payment
: were put to the option of taking the paper of
this bank, or of taking nothing at all !
Mr. \Vr. held mhis hand a letter from one
of the most considerable fishing towus in the
State,- namely, Marblehead, and he was t herer
by informed that, very shortly before this
bank failed, that is, within a week or two, or
some such period, the money due from
i Government to these fishermen had been paid
I in the manner described, a large amount of it
tentirely in the bills and notes of this bank;
} report said, the whole amounting to fifty or a
hundred thousand dollars, and paid out when
the bank was ou the eve of a total crash, and
within a few days of its failure ! ?
Well, sir, (continued Mr. W.) when th
-money in these large quantities had been pai
out, the bank. failed^ and all that these potj
I fishermen had received in payment from tb
t United States is now dead on their hands. ]
The law expressly says that " hereafter/
J bank notes of less denomination than twer
| dollars, shall be offered inpayment in any c*
i whatsoever in which money is to be paid^
| the United States or the Post Office Dei*"
I ment; nor shall any bank note ofanydeJ11"
| ination be so offered, unless the same sh'^e
| payable, and paid on demand, in goldocver
; coin, at the place where offered, and c'cr~
| tible into gold or silver upon the spot'
j will of the holder, and without delay *oss
: to him.-" j ?
Mr. W. thought it possible that it i^t be
; said, in excuse of this transaction, t) these
j poor fishermen aad pensioners tookj3.8 now
worthless money voluntarily, or at Sir ?wo
i option. But whether the individu/ho *s t0
! be paid may be made willing to such
j irredeemable paper or not, the \js direct
and peremptory, and prohibits the^c.e^rom
I offering it. The consent of ^dividual,
! therefore, to take it, especially he can
! get nothing else, will not justify*1 violation
: in any quarter. Bnt what coi^1 can *hat
! be esteemed, what voluntary t-nS *s there
; in such cases, whereia man, bec?e he cannot
! get all that is due to him, is coie^ecj to take
j part, rather than have none? ' hat is there
j voluntary about it? This [joercion, and
: not consent.
j They came up for the boty which the
f Government had given the^ a sort ?f
I equivalent for their heavy fa;11 sa|t- They
| go to the collector and a^k,; their bounty
| in gold and silver; but tjic cannpt get it,
I and he tells them they hills of the
J Commonwealth Bank, orfhing. Mr. W.
I argued that, if such wer^e state of things
now, under the prohibit-' ^;nv* ** wou^ be
just so under the propos- h-Treasury sys
tem, in spite of any law tfm^ht be enacted.
| They would take depr^ed 1110 ney because
I they" could get nolhiufse' an(] that would
be caHed voluntary, f he could not see in
what sense of law o^raIs il cou!ci be 50
called. ' ?
. One of the letters to Mr. Webster, from
one of the towns, i? as follows.
" Sir : You will, I am satisfied, excuse the
liberty I take in addressing you these few lines,
the subject being of the utmo.st importance to
my fellow-townsmen. The Government have
lately paid to the fishermen of this town their
bounty money, amounting t6 something Jiko
$20,000. Something like $10,000 of this
amount was paid mCommonwelth Bank bills,
the remaining $10,000 in bills of other baius.
Now, sir, just look at the distress that is liktl y
to come upon this poor town by this speci;
paying Government of ours. The Common
wealth Bank has stopped, and S100 would net
buy a loaf of bread. The Collector of Bo>
ton was solicited by a number of gentlemei
of this town for specie, or even Trcasur;
notes. No ; he'd pay in no other way but b;
a check on the Commonwealth Bank. This
sir, is a hard case for the poor fishermen u
this town, and I am satisfied, you sir, will d<
what lies in your power (if any thing can be
done) for their relief. The poor widow an<
Revolutionary soldier come in also for then
part in the distress of the town;. many oi
them who have received pensions have beer
paid in Commonwelth Bank bills, and, hav
ing full reliance upon the Government, have
kept the money they had paid them by tin
Government, believing that the Government
would not pay them in bad money.
*aL am, dear sir, your obedient servant."

' lumbia.
_ I "would respectfully call your attention to
the ill condition of the beautiful street lead
ing east from Clark's Hotel. Especially at
the cross street in the immediate neighbor
hood of the Intendant's dwelling, it is so bad
as to be a grievance to all passers. A small
expense would remedy the evil.

Hon GEO. W CRAB B, )
Mr. President It iswih feelings of the deep
est solemnity and regret, tliat I this morning a^k the
indulgence of the Senate, while I publicly announce
the death of my worthy colleaauo in the other
branch of the Legislature. The Honorable Dunk
lin Sullivan no longer lives Sir, this is to us a seri
ousand truly solemn occurrence. And while I know,
gentlemen thut you will sympathise with us, allow
me to narrate a few of the prominent features of Ins
life, that you may know that your sympathies are
well founded.
A native, if I mistake not, of Crconville or some
immediately adjacent district of South Carolina ; he
removed at an early age to the State of Tennessee,
where he acquired a valuable Academical education,
and perhaps made some progress in the study of the
law. In the year 1819 (the year our Stato was ad
mitted into the Union) he removed and settled in the
J town of Cahawba, Dallas county, (where you Mr.
; President, no doubt passed many pleasant moments
; in his company.)
lie there engaged in tho practice of the law, and
in the year 1822, removed to the county of Perry.
? In that county be prosecuted his profession success
fully and during several years represented the coun
irty, first in the House of Representatives and after
wards in the Senate. In 1831, as well as I remember,
'jhe was elected by the Legisla'ure, Judge of the
county Court of Perry. In this office more than all
others, his services were most signally valuable to
the people; and many a widow and orphan arc en
joying, perhaps without being aware of it, the pecu
liar benefit of his services. Were estates involved
!in conflicting claims and intrinsic controversies ? by
'his profound knowledge of the law, his perfect im
partiality, his accurate judgment, his indefatigable
(industry, confusion was removed and the limit of
every claim distinctly marked ; and public justice
aijd public satisfaction equally dispensed. To all this,
gentlemen, the deceased added a gooJness of heart
-pure and^disinterested. Then was he not a valuable,
>a noble citizen ? At the lost winter session of the
(Legislature he resigned his office as Judge of the
jcountyCourt and resolved to retire, and .n his un
[pretending way, live on his farm two miles north of
'?Marion.
I 1 should injustice to his memory, remark thaf du
ring the time he held the office last spoken of espe
cially, ho kept himself aloof from the warm and often
bitter conflict of parties. ' Whatever, may have
|j)een his feelings and opinions (and it is known
tha^his knowledge of the policy of his country was
klways extensive and profound) he seldom erpressed
them. Resolved to avoid even the appearance of
partiality, a nth cautiousfy fdaftearing to give the
jtveight* of his influence to "either party, lie was
equally beloved by both .
i Notwithstanding his determination to live in quiet
knd retirement, the people of Perry, well aware of
[his "stern honesty, and of the value of his services
whenever he had been tried, previous to the last
August elections, on^e more called him out as a can
didate. TJtie consequence was, that but few, if any,
man, ever came to this Legislature, by a more cheer*
fuland Unanimous suffrage.
-And rely Upon it, gentlemen, he was an able mem-'
ber, an impartial and a good man. Though his voice,
might not have been often heard mingled in debate
bis suggestions and counsel would, (I dare say it)
have been as practicable and valuable as those of
any member of the.house of which lie was a member.
But that voice is hushed forever ! By a sudden and
rcyslcriousvisitation of divine Providence, be is gone
from the councils of his country. It was gratifying'
to us that some of the most respectable citizens of
"Perry, that one gentleman, (Mr. Norris of Mobile,)
who had known him ever since he became a citizen
of the State, were with him to the last moments.
They heard his last last unavailing effort for one more
clay-cold respiration. "
One week ago he firmly walked down the steps of
this Capitol in the full vigour of health and manhood..
Haying got slightly wet in passing to and from the.
House in the early part of last week, he complained
of a slight cold, it increased gradually and soon be?
came inflamatory and terminated in a congestion
about the heart as well as the brain ; his friends
ever, had not become much alarmed until about three
or four days since, every effort was then made to' con
vey the earliest possible information to his" family
(sixty miles distant) but it has turned out to have
been too late. My feelings, gentlemen, have induced
me, I fear, to be too minnte, but I believe you wanted
to know something of the life of a deceased fellow
member, and will only add, that I feel too much depres.
sed to do his memory justice, for last night was a sleep
less and awfully solemn night to his friends that were
present. Can it be possible, we often ask ourselves,
that his family cannot arrive in lime to enjoy the
cold dreadful consolation not of seeing him die, but
to see him once more before lie is forever gone to the
dreary silent tomb. Often did we look out that we
might hear some sound which would indicate their
approach, but the same Providence that had placed I
I in the heavens the pale moon, [whose cheerless rays
I fell in the early part of ihe night in such lamentable
i sublimity, into the room where he lay) had decreed
otherwise.
Within two minutes of two o'clock last night, he
raised his hands as if in prayer to heaven and "passed
through the dark valley of the shadow of death."
Is it possible that Dunklin Sullivan is no more ? To
a wife and six little orphans the loss is irreparable.
By the county of Perry it will be most serionsly
felt, and the State has never been deprived of a more
worthy citizen in his sphere. I feel thankful, Mr,
President, to the Senate for its attentive indulgence.

THIS capital English Racer and splendid Stallion
will occupy Kowmn's Stand, ut W. Hampton's
Wood-lands Estate, five miles below Columbia un
dor the direction of Mr. \VM. J. C MGER, and be
let to Mares at $75 the season, *!'20 to insure, nnd
one dollar to histfroom; the money to he paid in ad?
vnnce. The season will commence on the 1st of
February and end the 1st of July. Extensive rye
nnd grass pastures provided for Maros, and separate
lots !or such as nmy have young foals, and marcs
well }od ut fifty cents. per day. Every care will be
taken to guard against accidents, but no responsibil
ity, should they occur. '
Emancipation, so named under the grcnt excito
ment about the emancipation of the Roman Catho
lics, was bred by Mr. Riddle, and was fowled in 1827.
He wa? ?ot by Whisker, (own brother to Whale
bone, A:c.) sire of The Colonel and Memnon, winners
of the St. Leger. His dam was got by Ardrossan,
one of the best sons of the fumous John Bull ; his g.
dam, Lady Fiiza, by Whitworth ; his g g. darn, X
Y Z's dam, by Spadille, out of Sylvia, by Young
Marslie, Ac. By. reference to the 7th vol. pnge 101
of tho T. R. and S. Magazine, his extended pedigree
may be seen, as also his performances on tho turf,
which latter are but little inferior to any horse over
imported into this country. lie is a beautiful bay, |
w ith black legs, m ine, and tail, sixteen liands high,
of great length, and commanding figure. His bone
is large, with muscles well defined ; his action good,
and accompanied by indications of uncommon pow
er. His stock are considered very promising ; his
oldest were two years old last spring; of these, some
few were trained last season, and two of thetn have
bsen winners, viz., Angela, who won the Chillington
stakes, August 5th, beating a field of five others, at
Wolverhampton; and Compensation, winnor of a
stake at Hedncsford, October 31st, beating three oth
ers.
For black servants sont with Mares, no charge will
be made ; having no accommodations for white per
sons on the spot, they must board elsewhere.
