RJSVELLANV@VS0 E1on ths Somth CaGiIan, Dec. I. INAUGUR-ATION OF GOV. AIKEN. This event. en Tuesday last, attracied a most-crowded and brilliant auditory from hi beauty and fashion, respeota! 'ity and -disti-otion, of all parts of the State. An accoont of.the ceremonies of the occasion will be fcund in the Legislative proceedings of the two houses ; but the most interest ig feature of it, to our readers at least, is the able- and approptiate Addiess, *hich we have the pleasure of laying befrb them below. It is highly creditable to the talenta ,aq:ftelitgs.Sand principles of its intelligent author, whose gentlemanlike manners, and highly cultivated mind, em ivmenty'eriched from-the -varied resources ofeducation, study, and travel, amply qualify-him to fill the high office to which he has been so tiatteringly elevated, with honor to hiinself, and. benefit to. the-State. His addres-vas warmly. received. .The puttion particularly- which franklynand adhly pledges.Jim to sustain the sovereign will and authority of the;State. -was en thsiastielyapplaudedI and if -there be abi partof it to which our Tariff-worn aid Abolition persecuted people cannot respond itis that in which he congrat* ulates them.: upon the dawunof a brighter day. No:matter; if disappointed as we deeply fear he will be, he - will none the less boldly - and faithfully and fearlessly strive to defbd them alike from open ene mies, and false and faithless friends. May He to whom the Rulers of the People are chief instruments of good or evil to them, be ever near him, and guide and direct rim to be fruitrul and memarebte blessing to those who have so generously and con Sdingly put tireir trust in him. O:dniacn of the Scnateeaud. House of Repretadives: Tour kindness and partiality have indu ced you to select me as the Chief 3agis trate of Sooth-Carolina. It is with feelings of the highest appre ciation for the distinguished honor,.that 1, tender you my unfeigned acknowleig Ments for this proof of your generous con fidence, and it is scarcely necessary for me tb say, that gratitude a[one wVould impel me to the exertion of every faculty I pos sea, in advaneeing the prosperity and promoting the laterests of the State. While I caunot hope that under my idance, the administration of public af 'rs will be condueted with that ability which has characterised the labors"of him. whom I am called upon to succeed, I shall tet enter upon the diseharge of my high and responsible duties, with a fixed deter mnjoation, vigilantly to watch over and protect every interest committed to. my care and superintendence. It will not be expected that ab an occa sion like the present I shotld -enter into a particular diseussion of any of the leading topies whieh so deeply Interest our people; but a general allusion to some of the most lapbrtaat, may not be considered as entire ly inappropriate. After a lung and unprecedented embar rassment of our financial coccers,affecting individual, as well as national properity, paralyzing the energiet and crippling the resonrces of the country, the dawn or a brighter day, seems about to illumine the horigon. This citeeting and reesonablo prospect dan scarcely fail to attain its realization, if they, to whom is etitrusted the manage ment of our'uational ailairs, will but bear in mind, that the legitimate ends of Gov ermout can only be effected by the care flt avoidance of a policywhich, under the saeted sanction of law, flicehes from the hard earnings of an honest industry, to minister to the appetite of an insatiable avarice. It would be strining the 'imagination, even to'a painful hktent, to concbive the high point or national prosperity we'might have reached, under an administration of equal justiee and equal protection, wh'en, in despite oftheblightinginfnaeuces which a contrary coorse has exercised upon our own partienlar section, it must be confes ead that ihr'more .than half a century, du ring which we have been united under the federal compact, oue whole country has made tapid progress not only in the increase of her population, but the moss extensive improvement in the' grts and scinhces, and in short, in every thing cal entlated to minlyt ahe':etnrforte, elevate the condition, and adlvpteelhe happiness of mankind. 'A long and enduring peate a tee has happily directed the minds of our citizens from the sangfuinary pursuits of war, to the more -usefnl and substactial ocengationu of life. The sword of the warrtorlmee been converted into the plough share of the husbandman. Important en terprise, hare been warmed and Ltourished iato active and profitable existence. C~om ineree has dotted every ecean antd see, with Bioating palates, freighted with the rich and varied productions of every soil-; ad nothieg is-wanting to place or pros. perity almost beyood the teacli of coutin-: gency, but a wise end equable general legislation, which shall respect the -rights of oar country as a tihole, without the slightest aggression upon any of its parts. T[he increasa of our territory,aoo, has been commensurate with .the rising im portanee of a great and flourishing peo - ple; and a firm reliance on the justice and intelligence of the age, gives strong asseiranee, that not withstanding the late rejection of the treaty by the Senate of the United Stafeei, the pedod is not- far -dis tant, when; Texiks, a land populated by our brethren and, oar kindeed, will be gathered'into otif broad fold, and . numbe red in our sisterhood of free and indepen dont eovereigniies. With regard to etir own State, we have much to congratolate ourselves. -Not withstanding the share wae have had in the general embarrasment of the country, and the several calamitous 'visitations, by which large portionso oneu mfoat populous cities, have been deselated and laid waste, our affairs are beginning so assume a more propitous aspect. Publie. credit and mercantile eoa deuce, susialied in a great degree by sound and hoailiy.condnion of oui- Bank. ing institutions, have placed as in favora ble contrast with many orour sister States, and a spirit'ofgenerous snierprie regin latr et,4cantenlled be a nnid'entinnd int Uterous economy, promises to place our advancement on a sure. and enduring foundatisi. The suject.of abolition is one which calls rather for the most unrelaxing vigi lance, than for any discussion upon our part. Recent events make it perhaps pro per that , should some allusion to it. The State of Massachusetts having sent in agent here to test the constitutionality of a law'enacted for the safety and protection ofour peculiar institution, South-Carolina, through her Legislature, has adopted those prompt and ready measures which must convice our enemies that, upon this sub ject, we suffer no foreign interference. It was a necessary lesson, and I trust will have its proper effect, I know that South-Vorolii feels deep ly the present system of unjust and unconstitutional taxation, imposed upon us by the federal government. And that she is also gravely irppresed ivith tiose vital and paramount questions that have arisen, connected with her peace, and her domes tic institution. I hope that justice will be done.us by those who will have the po*r. mad are bound to render it. But if we should be disappointed in this most reaso nable .. hope, , whatever course South Caroliii,.im.br sovereign capacity, shall determine-poj.as necessary to protect the ancient rights of. her citiaens. .1 pledge myself, while lhae ithe honor to be her1 Chief Magistram ,foend :and vindicate at any andevery azard. . It only remains for tne gentlemen, ear pestly to solicit your ai.dand co-operation, and to invoke the cotninued blessing of that Almighty Being, whoi'has so kindly *8tehbd nfet onianutaoy'aV naioA, a'id so bagpi'ly conducted us i:our present elevated position. RE-OLUTIONS In reference to a Special Agency e nt from the State of Ma ssucuetts. SUBMMITTED a Ma. DE TREVI..LE. WairavAs, information hav been recei ved, that the State of Massachusetts has recently appointed and sent to the City of Charleston a Special Agent. with instrue: tions and authority to institute proceedings at her expense in the court' of the .United States, for the purpose of testing the con stitutionality of a certain Act of this State, passed on the 19th day of December, An no Domiri 1835, entitled "An Act more effectually. to prevent Free Negroes and other persons of color from entering into this State, and forother . purposes." And, whereas, we have always regarded the aforesaid.law as necessary measure for the secuty of our property, and the peace and good order of society; and re cent indications have .not only proved that :we were not mistaken, but that nothing short of the most rigid enforcenent of the -said law to its very letter, can save us from the insiduous policy .and practice of the abolitionists Tdnrefore, Resolved, That while we admit the right of the State of Massachu setts to elevate the descendants of the African race to the rank or standing of free white persons, and to confer on 'them all the rights and immunities which the most favored of her citizens enjoy wothin her own limits, we deny that she has any right to require us to extend to such of them as may enter our limits, the immu nities and privileges which are secured by the Constitutiou of the United States, to her free white citizens alone. Resolved, That the State of South Carolina ought not to submit to any dicta tion, eitber from a sister State or from the Supreme Court of the United States, on a subject of such vital importance to herself as the government of her colored popula tion; and should the aforesaid Act be declared unconstitutional and invalid hy the Federal courts, the principle of self preservation will neverless com pet her-citi zeus, at every expeuse of life and proper ty, to uphold and maintain the due and rigid enforcement of tbe said la w, acc(.rding to its very letter and spirit. Resoled, That the conduct of the State of Massachusetts, in attempting to procure by Federal Judicial Legislation, the repeal of a law, which was intended to be and is a barrier between the slave and the emis saries of the abolitionists, is an un warran table and gross insult to the people of this State. WVHIO IS JAM ES Kt. POLK? A Correspondent of the New-York Journal of Commerce thus speaks of him: "I had the honor of taking tea at hsis house last evening, and of enjdying the socety of himself and his amiable and splendid lady. His features are strongly marked by evidences of intellect. bliud ness, firmnness and bienevolence. His head .would be esteemed a splended model by phrenologists. in which the intellectual and moral fuculties are largely predomi nant. His forehead is high, broad and fll, and perpendicular, if njot projecting. The upper part of the head rises high above the ears. The organs of benevo ence, veneratdob ied firmness, arb pronm inently developed. Col. Polk's chaf-acter. through a long public life, is known to crrespond with these characteristics of his mind. He represented the Congressioral District in erhich lie- lives, for fourteen areWhile he has at all times had ~ng poltical opponents inTennesse, be Ti ithout a personal enemy in the State.

' - The annual Orulloh before the Liteta ry Societies of the Collbgb, lsva's delivered by the Hon. Henry L. Pickney. atid is spoken of as a remark'sbly able and elo quent one. Those who have ever heard him will not be surprised that it was so, but some, even of his most enthusiastic admires, think it one of his noblest efforts.

'was duly inaugarated, in solemn form, at 12 o'clock. The Senate joined the House in the spacious and elegant ebamber of the latter, and at the hour indicated, His Excellency appeared, chdhbtd by the ex-Governor, the Secretary of State, the Adjutant General, the Quarter Master General, and attended by a suite of soe eight or ten.very handsome young getlo. men. The air and manner of the ertre gave augury that the spectators were to be' gratifted still more by the furtlier cer emonies. Uion His Excellency's assu ming the seat provided, the Speaker or dered the doors of the Chamber to be opened to the public, when a vast throng filled the space and adorned the Hall with lovely specimcns of the sprightliness, wit god beauty of this city and the adjaeent counlry. When order was established, His Excellency .arose and delivered fom the Speaker'! deals an address replete with patriotic and fervent expressions of reeling and characterized by a style clear..digni. fed and precise. He gtledged himself to sustain the' interest, dignity and honor of South Carolina. As this document, however, will be published, (it is presu med.) we will not attempt in our own language to set forth its merits His Ex ceflency was, then conducted by the Seu ite to their Chamber, where the House of Representatives .having joined 'he former body, the venerable President delivered the comhission to His Excellency. The whole ceremony closed with the usual pro clamatton from the portico of jihe State House. His Excellency was then escor ted to his hotel by two very lne military cinpauies the Gotenors Guhrds, coMI manded by Capt Tradewell, and the Col ege Cadte, by Capt. Brown Manning. Here was a beautiful contrast between the civil ceremonies which declared His Ex cellency the Chief Magistrate, and the military display seemed to welcoine him as the cmmander-inchief. The admninistration ofLGoV. Aiken com mences with the fairest sunshine. May be succeed by the stern integrity, ability and strength orpurpose wihich has always dis inguimhed him, in carrying the Stare thi-ough the imp2ending~ and tryiug scenes in wvhich she seems about to bear so proin inatl a part. Thre tiescinaing of the 25th Rule, *hich will now allow Mr. Adams to have all his abolition petitions read and perhaps de baed, has produced some excitement in the south, and give:n an opportunni.y to some southern whig to taunt us respecting our northern democratic friends in Con gress. Before we express fitnopinion on the course pursued by the tnorthern demo cratic members of the popular branch of Congress, we shall wvait for further infer matien in regard to the mntives which led them to vote as they did. In the mean~ time we must observe that the qotithern whigs should keep as qutiet as they ptos sibly can, If they cotideman the utnrthernt democratic members for their votes, what can they say of the membaers of their own creed?

The cane giew upon tivo acres of. ordinary pine land for that section of the District, being well prepared and highly manured before planting The summer proved favorable to its growth, and the autumn *o its maturity, io frost having fallen; material ly to injure it. Te product of the two acres was eigat barrels of Sugar and a proportiona ble quantity of Mclasses.-The samples of both. would be pronounced good for any see - tion of the sngar region, and the sugar readily cotmmands $8 per l00lbs. in the neighborhood This is a highly encouniaging experiment. which we recommnend to otur planters genteral ly, so far at least as to make a stufficienicy for hotne L-onsumnption.

I have sead in the Charleston Mercury certain strictures nupon the Senate Resolutions, or rather upon the mover of them, which I regretted to see in that highittoned, repubican print. One would stlppose, on reading these strictures, that the resolutions were cravenly and submissive in their tone, and huible in their language-that the author had lost all his reverence for the doutrine of State Rights. which he so manfully snetaitead in 1P32 and '33-in one word, that the resohitions4 had abandoned the whole ground of State sotereignty. and tie consequent right of State interference.should itbecnie necessary, to save the people of the Sd'-th fror the blighliing influence oraUncotistitutionalleg. islation by'the General Government. But how standi the fatts? The message upon thesub ject of oui Federal Relations is. it iry hunt. ble judgient it sound and able document. It puts the qtestiotn at issue in the strongest pos sible light; but recommends immediate State action to redress onr wrongs, without waiting to see what may ho the etfect of the recent. gira.'t trinuph of the Republican party. I confe:. I h ve not the weakness to believe that thc new administration will he onmuipotet; nor have I as sanguine hopes of redress from Con gress as -ome of our friends seem to entertain; yet. it would be worse than treason tothe cause of the South, not to indulge these hopes, until we have evidence, either that they are alt% gether fallacions, or not soons to be realized. it is the policy of t he whole of the Planting ~States to muse in solid phalanx upoen the two absorb ing questions of the Tariff and Abolition. United, they. pri sent atn irresistible front of indiginntit freemen. rescuing ri-omn the, com binedjattacks of avarice and fanaticism, their property. their consecrated altars, and, their firesides endeared to thei by till the charms of wife, children and friends. Livided, they will give conafidence to the subtle macluna tions. and strength to ie arms oh their enemnies and 1;Lreesutors.

're Resolutions of col. Picken's are clear and strotg, and go pari passn with the mes. sage, except as to the time. They propose to wrait events which may be expected, in ilre course of the next twelve or eighteen months, to be developed ly tie action of the Genernl G over nient. If they contemplate longer for bearande than this, such an inierenc6 is no1t to be drawn ifoin their literal d~iastr'ction;-if they conteiplated less, I verily believe that they would misrepresent the feelings of nine teenl twentictis of the people of Smith Carolina.

By the arrival of the schooner Water Witch from Vera Cruz; wre have advices f-om Mxico. four days' ldter than *o had previously rMciied. The reports which had before reached us of the extent- of the ilisnifection inl Mexico, are fully conifirmed. The Assemblies of the Department of Au "uaas-Callientes, Queretaro, San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas, are said to have de; alred theinselies as fulfy and boldly ugains't f'he Goverwnent as triat of jalisco. As t o Vera Crui the reports detco-htindie tury. We learii, verlally ibat a large majority of lie citizensofthat Department favor the opposition to the Government, while a paper of the 16th ult., published in Mexico, deelres the contrary.

Bui things rentry to6ltr more squalf'fi Santa Anna that *e had anticipated they whuld. and tht. revolution h's assuemned a dhape miore formidable than first appearances warran. ied. The following letter which we have received, written. by a wvell inrformed. gentleman travelling in Mexico for his h'ealilt, may give sonic idea of the difficul ties yith whlich Snuta Anna is surroutideJf and the precarious tenture by which he.nowv hhlds his power: ,d~ hJ..w.A, 'Nov. 20, 1S44. Es.Picayune: H.aving promised to wrife you should anythting worthy of re mark turn up, I have now ani opportunity to scratch you a fewv lines in -relation to the troules int this distracted country. From all accounts, it would seem that the, whole interior is up in arms agaitnst San ta Anna, with Gen, Paredes tat the head of the revolutionary hlorces.-Thme States of Jalisco, Satn Ltuis, A guas-Calientes, Gu anajuato anid Qazeretora have already do elared agatinst Santa Atnna, and every post brings ina elligenice of disaffectionis itt other quat tori. Some few aarrisonts it, other States may have declared thtemsehves in ftavor of the G~overnmenmt, but. that is all htumbun. A passenger just arrived frona. Vera Cruz says that the garriso there has declared for Samta Antna, bu-t there were miany who thought the soldiers were ready. to tha ow up their caps for Paredies, should half a chance occur.2 San:a Anna is on his march towards. Mexico ~with 6,030 men,- anid at the :last accounts was near the city, but the deser-. tione fronm his ranks had been immense.
