T'he pre amble-andl resolution were unanimously anreed to. Thursadag 2,5.-In the Senate,Mr. Black submitted a -preamble and the followintg resoluions,. which- were considered imme ,diate anred to uannimiously, and refer ,ed tw e ote6mmitiit on Federal Relations: 'Resolvi;That-t!ie people of South Car: ia ' :av ah vays m anifested and still on ertain the most ardent and devoted at tachment to the Union of the States of this Republic, and have always been and still are willing to make any and every sacri fice, except those which tyrants alone would expect and slaves submit to, to pre vent it. Resolved, That we have seen with deep regret and sorrow that there exists, in ma ny of the Northern States of this counfede racy, a deep and settled hostility to the Snuth, and a mad and faintical determin ation to restrict them in the enjoyment of those sacred rights and privileges. for the gireservation of which the Union itself was established, by an unprincipled and un warrantable interference with the institu tions of slavery. Resolued, That -e have long watched with much anxiety the incendiary machi nations of the abolitionists of the North, but still have entertained the hope that a returning sense of justice, or that a due re gard to the sacred charter of our rights, guarantied to us by the Contitution, would restrain them in their fanatical career and prevent a consuimmation of the destructive designs, but the passage -y the House of Representatives of the United States, at their last session, of the Wilmot Provis i, by which the South was to be virtually excluded in the enjoyment of such territo ry as might be acquired from Mexico by co.ique4t or otherwise, and the resolutionts adopted oe the aSme subject by the Legis lature of alhnosi all the non-.9laveholding States of this Union, warn us that we hnve I but little ground far hope, either for their forhearance, their sense of justice, their humanity. or patriotism. Resolved. That this attempt to exclude and debase the South, is the more vile and I unjust, inasnuch as the very territory t from which we are to be forever excluded, is territory which, ir obtained at all. will have been acquired in eqiual measure by Southern valor, and has already been free ly watered with Southern blood. Resolved, That we have every reason to rear that it is the deliberate intention of a reckless and fanatic majority of the slave holding States of this Union to make the t Wilatot Proviso, or a similar provision, the t condition to the acquisition of any territory to the United States in our present war I with Mexico, and that regarding the adop- j tion of any such measure as a gross viola ion of the Constitution. an infringement i of the rights of the South, and a wanton, undisguised insult-a sulbmission thereto would be degrading and infamous. Resolved, That we most cordially con cur in the resolutions adopted by the Le gislature of Virginia on this subject, and thtt in the language used by that patriotic assembly. we feel it to be the "duty of ev' cry slave-holdinig State, and of the citizens thereof, as they value their dearest privi- c leges, their sovereignty.t heir independence. teir right of property, to take firm, united ad concerted action in this emergency." Resolved, therefore. That in the event of.the adoption by the Congress of the U. States of any law or reolution by which the citzens of the alaveh6lding States are to be eiiaded froin a fair, perfect and ejual elijatiit ofall the rijiod ri LfrIya.c anjq any tep by the prohi iiou,.. t-,he, introductid of - slave prn ery jno stich-erritory, that. the Governo of ti State, for the time being. convne immediately the Legislature there of, that they may ta-te such action as they may deem necessary and becoming.

COLUMIIIA AND GREENVtLLE RAILROAD E rtract from a letter to thme Editor, dated CosUatatA, Nnv. 22. I have seen a delegate who has returned from the Newherry Convention. rThe discussions were spirited, and a great di versity of sentiment prevailed as to the proper' route. That to Aiken was, singly, the strotngest, hut the other interests were fearful of losing their chanices under the . charter for the Greenville and Columbia route. The following was finally adopted. From Colnmbia, up the east hattk of the Broad River, for 16 mtiles, with a view to a common trunk with the Charlotte Road; thece across the river to Newberry Court H ouset thence to the Saluda River, near tho corner of Ealgefield andi Ahhieville; thence tom thme dividling ridge betweent the waters of the Saltuda and the Satvaninah River, to Anderson Couirt linse; and thence to Greenville Court hlouse. As soon as this was announced to he thte result, the Greenvile and Laurens Stock holders and' Directors (thme latter six in tumber) withdrew from the Convention and from the Company. Judge O'Neal, the Presidetnt of the Roadl, was so much dissatisfied, that he gave notice that he would resign the Presidency as sooni as the Company could reorganize another Di rectory. It is the opinion of snme that the w hole project nowv will be a failure- Others say that the Road can he built, and that it 'will be mnore profitable by far than any other route, and the most benecial to C harleston.-Mercury. Correspondence of thme Chars. Cour-ier. \VatxGTos. Nov. 19, 18-17. Some fuew members of Congress have nrrivedn, nnd among tihese is Mir. Levin, of Pennsylvania, the lone star of nativeism. Mr. Levitt, as it is now' well understood, will vote for a whig candidate ftor the Speakrship, and. his preference will be ftr Mr. T. R. Incersoll.

Rumors-of peice vith Mexico thicken ; and I learn that the aiministration expect to receive a treaty or peace, before the next session ef Conigress. ,Negiations have, to some extent at least, -een re open - .d, and the Governn-t at Queretaro, tuch as it is, is expected to eumer into a treaty, whether it conforms with the wish. !s of fie Mexican people or not, and whe ther it le transient or permanent. But, I iave no doubt that our Government will :ontinue to occupy tite trore important oints in Miexico, with an adequate torce, antil it shall be apparent that the stipuia ions of (he treaty will be fulfilled. There ttre some gentlenen here from Dalfornia, who returned with Commodore Stockton, and they say that.the American wopulatioa. in that coualry, are co opetent o tile maintenance of its independonce, tnd that they will never permit it to come igain under Alexican rhld, even should he United States abandon it.

Some of my riends, well acquainted with % hat is going i, assure tmle thal we are to have a treaty if peace. and in less than a tmonth from his tiane. They surmiise tat the Alexican aovernmnent at Q.teretaro will appoit, or ittve tippointed. Comtnissiters to treat for >eace ; and that Ithey will soon arrive in his city, with Mr. frisi, and that the teaty will be made here. I have much doubt as to these results, ut I have no doubt that the iGovernettI as. through i1r. Trist, reopaoned a con ntunication with tle Mexican Goverainont, vith a view to a renewal of nego'iations. I have seen sotte private letters from rota] sourees in MUoico, sone of which lays that tle fighting is over ; and another vhich says that there is no prospect of a teace by treaty. Tte w6ho0le subject is in. Polved in doubat and mystery. We are in he hands of destiny, 'Te continuance of he war, and the continued occupation of Uexico by our troops, must load to perna tent possession, wtaethcr that ie the ob ect of the war or not. I have had opportunities tt know that be leaders of the anti-slavery, or restric ioa, or proviso party, large and powerful is it is, are in favor of ho acquisition of hie whole of Mexico, and will not he con ent even withi the half of it, which the I'rist treaty project proposed t,) take. Mr. Clay's propositions are denounced tud repudiated by the proviso party, for ie reason that they are deemed to be re trictive as to territory; and they are qually unacceptable to the anii proviso )arty, because they are restrictive as to lavery. Should a treaty be made, it will increase tr embarrassnatts. It will create a coit :st betweent the territori-al and the anti ter. itorial parties-between the proviso and inti proviso parties.
