sevices. and I will take the liberty of cal ling )our attention to ie subject again, when the book shall have been delivered. A great 'number of the 10th volume of Cooper's edition or the- Statutes at Large. %which contains the intdex of.the whole, were buint by a fire which- donsumed a tunber of houses in this place sonme years ago, and is now out of. print. A corres ponditg-nuiher of the volumes :of the edition are useless for the want of tie index. I would therefore recomnend tlt. provi s.on be made for re-puLblishing that'voluie. That edition brings down- the Statutes at Large to the year 1838-since when the ntnal acts have been printed in a type ;nd paged correspondingwith it. . And-1 would recommend that provision he made !;br collecting them intb volumes, and a general index to the whole. None but a %ery diligent inriuirer would take the trouble of looking into more than fen years of Legislative enactinents to- find i hat the law is. and I would suggest as a good general rile, that thes compilatious should be tmado at, least every tenth year. -1 have received, and herewith transmit for votr consideration, resolutions appro .ing Mr. Whitney's priject of a Railroad from Lake Michigan to the Pa'c. Ocean and recommend it to the patronage of the Gov ernment of the United States. adopted by the Legiolatures of the States of Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, Cenrgia, and Alihaina. The project is one or the most sublimo that has ever been conceived by rran. Ote is as tounded by its magnitude, and yet with adequate mneat.s no one will now question its practicability-nor will it be doubted that, if cartiei into execution, it would greatly promote the settlement of the wild lands through which it is proposed to carry it, bringing us into communion with our fellow citizens inhabiting those remote regions, and greatly facilitate commerce. I have also received from the National Mledical Convention, held in May, 1817. in the city of Philadelphia, a memorial, the object of which is to "urge on the va rious State Governments the adoption of measures for procuring a registration of the births, marriages. and dentlhs in their several populati!ns-" I can add nothing to the argument found in the memorial, which is herewith transmitted, but my ap prob-tionof it, in support of the measure. The present organization of the.magis. tracy. limiting one to each Militia Beat Company, strikes me as affording gieat facilities in obtaining the necessary infor tation in the country. Confined to limited precintes, acquainted with every family withio it, they would find little difficulty in obtainiug it. Annual reports from all to the Clerks of the Courts or Conmiis. 4rsionerain'Equity would bring together all that occurs in each district, and then col lected, would present a general view of the subject. In cities towns, and other incor porated communities, the same end might be even more conveniently attained through the agency of the corporate auttioriies. I transmit herewith, a letter from the Hon. W. L, Grayson, the Chairman of a Committee appointed by.tlie. Secretary of 'the Treasury of the United States to select a site on ivhich to erect4 a Custom House inChareson,in whiche states that he .ols advised.that acc&rdibg*t,- the laws of S;V,he United S,tates, no contract- for the pur chase can becompleted with.out the consent of the State. One hundred and thirty thousand dollars ($130.000) has been ap. * propriated in Cougress for this porpose, and although the site has not yet been selected, the Commissioners are desirou~s of obtaining the autthority of the State to make the purchlase, that it may be com -pleted, and the erectioni of .the ntecessarv *buildings maty be in progress before th'e next meeting of the Legislatt:re. Not more than two or three acres of grounid will lbe wanted for the purpose, antd i have not been able to conceive anty well founded *objection to authorize the purchase. I submit the matter to your consideration. By an act of the Legislature.--passed on the 18th day of December, 18-46, the State granted to the Uoited States all the right, title, and interest of the State to the lanids, forts, fortifications and sites for the erection of forts on Sullivanl's Islatnd and Shute's Folly Island, as dlelinleated by a plat of resurvey made by Robert G. Pinckncv: Provided that the act should not take effect until the Untited States Government shall have conveyed to the State of South Carolina all the right, title, and initerest of the United States itn the lanlds lying ~be tween the presenit site of Fi>rt Moultrie and the parade ground, which is indicated as a - Street inl the aforesaid plamn of resurvey, atnd until the said plan of resurvey shall have been deposited in the office of the Secretary of State at Columbia, On the 28th of February last the Hon. William L. Marcy, thme Secretory of War of the United States. in -pursuance of the authority of an act of Congress aptprovedl on the 3d Marc-h, 1Sl9,executed a deed to the Sta,te of South Carolinta for all the right, title, and interest of the Untited States to the land lying between the present site of Fort Mouhrtio and the parade crounid, as provided in the act oft he 18th Decem ber, 1846. above t-eferred to. whichl was delive.'ed to me in the course of the last sprinig, and I was applied to by Col. J. G. T1ottetn, Chief Enginteer, in behalf of the United States, to conivey to the Utnited States, in lorm, the latnds gratettd by the net of 1846. Ilaving nio direct atuthotrity to convey, and beine of opinion that, ont .!he performance of the condition containted in the act, the granit brenme absolute, and the title to the United States perfected, I at first declined to do so. Btut, tupon beinlg utrged by the authoritios of the United States, 1 exeruted, int behalf of the State, -a deed, in effect acknowledging the per formance of the condition otn the part of the United States. Being then and still of opinion'that this wras nugatory, I would recommend that atn act be passed ac ktnowledging the performance of the condi tion on the part of the United States, anld confirming the grant, Not kntowing what course the Legislature would take, I de clined to have the deed from the Untited States put on record, anid I would recoin n-end the propriety of providing for that also. I transmit herewith the deed from the United States; a copy of tmy deed to the United States, a let ter from Col. Tot ten to myself, dated 3d March. 1848; anid the correspondenice between Capt. Bow,. man, of the Engineer Deartentn of the you in possession -of all the. .infornation that may be required. I have also received a communication from the Hon. Wm. L, Marcy. Secretary of War of the United States. under date of the 25th Aptil, ISIS, enclosiu-g extracts of a letter't him from Frederick A. Smitlh, Captain Engineerb, A. C. E.. or the .18th April,,1848, in which it is stated that five acres'.o' land in Beaufort harbor were gran:ed by this State to lte United States oni,the 17th December, 1808. for the site of F ort Lii tletoo, (oiherwise called Fort Maritn.)-that commissieners were np pointed on the part of the State to merk out its boundaries, but that tall eflrrt to ascertain now where they were have been unsuccssful; and be requests that I would bring the subject to your notice, w.ith a view to some provision for the appoint meit ofcoanmissioners on the part of the State, clothed with authority to ascertain and locate the-.bouidary, in conjunctino with an engineer oflicer,, to be designated by the War Deparintent. The request strikes me as reasonable; and I would re commend that commissioners be appointed for the purpose of neetitng it. The com muiaicatiou of the Secretary of War is herpwith transtnitted. The constant and never ending agita tion of the question of slavery between the slaveholding and non-slaveholding States, apart from thte issues really involved, will of itself in the end inevitably lead to the tonst disas'rous consequences. The pas sions of communities, like those of indi. viduals, are roused and inflamed by con stant vituperation, however unimportailt may lie the mtatter in coniroversy; and the degree of resentrnent engendered by it, is in proportion to the magtittude of the Mat ter involved. To us the question is vital; the issues of "life. liberty. and property' are involved in it ; the poison of fanaticism is so infused n the masses, that I have charity enounh to suppose that many worthy men conscientiously believe that involuntary servitude is a damning curse, and would willingly turn our slaves loose to cut our throats. But the mocikery of the more liberal and enlightened politi cians of the non slaveholding blates, in disclaiming the aihority of Congress to interfere with the institution ini the States where it now exists, but protesting again3t its extensio beyond its present limits, is more galling. Do they not know that the encouragement and pr-Itection given to fugitive slaves have randered property in them of little value in the border States? Do they not know that, circumscribed to the territorial limits they nov occupy, they will in a few years exhaust much of the now productive soil, and in theirrapid increase in numhers overwbeln their owners, and drive them to seek an asylum elsewhere; and that, by excluding them from additional territories already or here. after to be acquired, they will through the agency of Congress, accomplish indirectly what they concede to be unconstitutional? I will no speak of our equal rights as citi zeus of thii Confederation. Toe argument has been long ago exhausted, dnd demon stration as palpable as a mathematical conclusion will avail nothing. The probability is, that whether we will or will not be permitted to carry our slaves into the territiory. acquited by the treaty~ with Mexico, will be definitely settled at 66idistant day. If againstui, the questioi willnecessarily arise .as -to the measures we ought to pursue. All the other slave holding States have precisely the same in terest itn this quiestion that we have, anid wre know that miany, if' not all of them, feel the same solicitude about it that wre do, and it may reasonably be supposed they wtould readily unite wiih us in any measure promnisitng relief. With our united, moral, attd physical strength, in a jinst and. honorable cause, we can successfully op pose any power that can be brought to bear tupon tts. Coucert as to time and manner of action is indispensable to this tutity and the question now is, whent anal howv this is, to be brought about ? Is the preen: time pr-opitious ? We knowv already, or have abutndant reason to suppose, that the present Chief Magistrate of' then United States, adaopaing the Mlissouri Compromise as a rtule, will, if Congress int its folly and madness, in '.o ail disregard of reasoni and right, e xcltude us entirely from the Mlexican territory in tcrposo the conservative veto power. It is known, too, thtat int the election of his successotr, matny of the slavehloldiing States cast their votes for te candidate who will be elected; andi a hat in all the rest there wras great division; more. probably than the resta htave brought to light; and 1 take it for granted that it twas tipon the faith, that, bei,g a Soumhertn man, he would not be utmindf'ul tof Souathern riaghts. It cannot lbe suapposerd, then, that the States whtich will vote for htimn. and the rmintorities in those St ates whicb twill vote against him. cani be brought to act together in antici pationt that our rights will be violated un tIer his admitistratimn, lie having the powi er to prevetat it. The paresent time is thete for'e, in n,y jutdgmet, uupropitiouas for actiona. We ought, notwithstanding, to provide fur any cotn tigency. The blow toay he struck whleni we are unaware of our danger, and mao timte ought to be lost in projecting ateans to unite the slave holding States in somne common mode of acaiont, whten the occasion shall arise; and a free discussioni and interchange of' opin ion will greatly prorrote this object in prepariag the ptublic mind to mteet its cotnsequeances. As before remarked, tunity of time attd concert of action are indispeni sable to suiccess, and a Southern Conven tion is thae most direct and practical meatns of' obtaining it. No one State can reasonably hope foi success, when acting alone 'in oppositiotn to thie opinions of all the others. The eff'ect of such an ataeanpt wtouild expose them to be overwhelmed ini detail. What, it may be asked, trill Soauth Carolina do if she ie left abate to fight this battle ? There are spirits in bar bosom that would willingly perish ini defenace of her rights. But would it be wtise to seek such a dlestiny, as long as there is hipe of' succor? DAVID .JOHNSON.
