Mr. Sims advocated the amendment?tMV. Perry opposed it?-in a speech of much eloquence, ana with great effect. fie placed his opposi tion to it, entirely on the ground, that a#y legislation on this subject would he nugatory, so long as gentlemen would continue, to place a higher estimate upon , chnracUr, than upon dollars and cents; aiid "fee* aksed, if a challenged party were ' to refuse to give the usual satisfaction, on the ground, that he might lose an office, if he would not disgrace and degrade himself, in the eyes of the community? that the case would be very different, should he take the high ground of morai 1 scruples, but that he would bjcoine insig niticant and contemptible, by attempting to evade personal responsibility, from ar over nice regard, for the condition of his pockets; On the question of agreeing tc the bill, it was negatived by a considerable majority. Elections were held t< day, for Governor and Lieutenant Gov. ...crnor, which resulted 111 the election ol Mr. Richardson to the former office, ano Mr. Clowney to the latter. O.i tlie firs! : ballot for Governor, the vote stood thus? Richardson 104, Hammond 47, Hmegar 6, Johnson 5. At the time of the electioD, I believe it was generally understood that Judge Johnson was not a candidate, bui some of his friends were determined.to vote for him, whether he was a v, candidate or not. - Having nothing more of the proceedings of this day to communicate, I will resunie the brief sketches of charactei which I have been attempting, and will ?r Introduce to your particular notice, oui excellent Sjieaker, 1). L. Wardlaw, whose claims to public distinction, must not be measured by the order in which he is here introduced ; for though he may be among the last in this respect, he is among the forcrttost in every other. The duties ol Speaker, are arduous and embarrassing in the highest degree. One hundred anil .{twenty .four members in one hall, of even variety of character, arc to l>e eontrollei and regulated by one man. This, he ha? to do, without doing injustice to either o "4hem, and in such manner as not to forfei their respect-and esteem. Yet for five years, he has held this post, without giv . ing the slightest dissatisfaction, and in - . defid his popularity seems only to iucrca,n with his continuation in the office. Hi ?? tltorniiirhlv versed in the rules of the * 0~v _ House, and applies them with a readiness And just discrimination, which is almos - astonishing. -A question of order has - scarcely arisen, before a just decisior ' settles it?so satisfactory indeed, thai ] " -'have never known one appealed from.? *' V As an instance of his readiness, and hi: * correct application of the rules, so as t< preserve the dignity of the House1, at th( same time that he administers a salutarj corrective, to any member disposed t< . invado jt, I will mention an anecdote, pe culiarly illustrative of his talent in thi: respect. - A member, {with a view per haps to Jereate a laugh,) inquired of th< Speaker, whilst the House wae ie session t "Mr. Speaker, what has become of my bill ?"?alluding to some bill which he , had introduced; to which, the Speaker promptly replied, "The Speaker knows of no bill, bearing the title of my bill." In ! his manners, he is verv affable and con' ciliating; his voice approaches to the t feminine, but it is nevertheless clear and distinct?in stature, he is about the middle size, his face is expressive of great ^benevolence, and is also a very correct index to the intellectual strength, which has placed him in the foremost rank, among the statesmen and lawyers of the State. Dec. 10. 1 Atone o'clock to-dav, the Governor 1 elect attended in the Representative Hall, to take the oath of office, and deliver his j inaugural address. The House was crowded to overflowing?the galleries j filled with ladies?the aisle, with venera. r ble senators, and the lobby with spectators of every description. His Excellency, . ascended the Speaker's desk, and ip a speech df considerable lcnglh, expressed his views, in reference to the course he s intended to pursue. On all political ? questions of the day, he was pcfectlv orthodox, according to the opinions of a'ina. ; jority of our politicians, and spoke of the party in the minority, with that respect, " which gentlemen of intelligence and re} finemcnt generally use, when speaking of -, each other. In adverting to old party differr I ences, he spoke witfr much feeling and ? eloquence?alluded to the harmony now prevailing, as a cause of congratulation to every citizen of the State, and pledged himself to the faithful and diligent dis! charge of the various duties which appcr[ tained to his office. The address, has 1 given very general satisfaction. It was i delivered with a clear voice, and an im. pressive manr.cr, and on the whole, was I well worthy of the high character, which 1 his excellency has ever sustained. As the inaugural, will soon appear in the pub. lie prints I forbear to make any further remarks upon it, and will commend your readers to the inspection of the address itself, for farther information on that sub, ject. ! A bill to alter the fees of Sheriffs, J Magistrates and Constables, has caused ! a good deal cf squib-firing to-day. It appears, that some members have been sent here, charged, in part, with express - instructions to reduce the fees of those > officers?thus an interest hds been excited on the subject, which attracted the attcn1 | tion of members, to the details of the bill; 1 and as a natural consequence, motions to j amend to strike out, and insert &c. were j showered upqji us, with a liberality which | was any thing but desirable. Upon all I such motions, a debate follows, as a matter of course, and debates consumed time. | Much time was therefore consumed, for 11 fear that the dear "people might lose a { four.pence. Pierced with many stabs, it floundered, limped and staggered through . a second reading, when we sent it to the > Senate for its concurrence. I doubt if ? we ever see it again. There will not be time enough to discuss it. > Dec. 11. I The bill to raise supplies, was taken up for consideration, it having been made ,r j tne special order for 1 o'clock. The i clause, increasing the tax on lands to forty five cents, appeared to be very > unpopular, and was assailed from various quarters of the House. The members in > the opposition, contended, that it was un equal, and unjust to the planters, as the r bill did not proj>ose to increase the taxes I upon any other property?lands and t negroes would, therefore, have to bear the whole burden of the increased taxation, > whilst professions, stock in trade, &c. which were more productive, would j>ay > their tax as heretofore?that much of the land of the State was unproductive, and whilst others pay only for productive i property, the planter was already obliged to pay for capital, which did not produce him a dollar. On the other side it was I alledgcd, that the tax on lands was alto* ' gether disproportionate, as it was much I less than that upon stock in trade, town ' lots, and professional income, and that ' strict justice required that the increased i rates should be placed upon lands only; ; but as justice should be seasoned by [ mercy, the bill contemplated a division of 1 the burden, by placing a part of it on nef groes. Many of the parties debating nd; mitted, that the taxes should be raised, I and the main question was, whether the ' mode proposed was a proper one, or I should the tax be raised on every deserips tiou of property. As the legislature, f would not tax the people so as to do injust ticc to any portion of them, the main i inquiry seemed to he, whether the mode - proposed, was just. Upon this point, we - had thirteen speeches to-day, so that there is a great probability, that we are all ?? I I * i 1 it. ? 3 iuiiv cnnrgea wim me necessary imuri mation, for qualifying us to vote under> standingly, when the question comes up. t To the writer's ?mind, the necessity for 4 any increase at all, has not yet been i made apparent. The legislature, would I show more judgment, by curtailing erpen. - diturcsy than by throwing more fuel into s the fire, by which our funds may have > been consumed. We have put too much ? steam on the vessel of State, and until ; we make up our minds to lower it, it is ) useless to talk about the emptiness of the - treasury. It is our own fault, and we s have yet to acquire wisdom enough to stop - the hole in the barrel, before we insist s upon our constituents injuring themselves , ft? fill it. 'Tfeifi would be the-course, t ./ ? .t ?. ? . -. i which prudence would dictate in the man- j hi agcmcnt of our own affairs, and -how i M could we act consistently if we pursue a ; different course, for those who have con-1z< tided their interests to our -care. 'If an'8? individual acting for himself, were to dis-. 8; cover, that his expenditures exceeded his income, his ohvious course would be, to w l?*>k narrowly into his affairs, and dpply jjj himself assiduously to an immediate retrcnchment. This course, is the proper* w one for the legislature now to pursue, and af should the members in their wisdom see n< proper to adopt it, we will be spared the disagreeable necessity of levying addi- tc tional contributions, upon the hard earn- pi ings of the people. Much time having 1? been consumed in the debate, it was adjourned over, and made the sj?ecial order 1 for to-morrow, at 1 o'clock. The subject has attracted the closest attention of the members, and no correct calculation can $] now be made, when the discussion will q, end. " jg December l'2th, ' "ij A resolution, to reduce the salary of the ^ superintendent of Public works, was called up for consideration, and debated. It was strenuously opposed by several pen. tlemen, who attempted to demonstra/c ! p the absolute necessity of securing coinpe- j'? tent officers in the service of the State that this could not be effected, by redu- j cing salaries, which, in reality, were not tj too high?thar. out of the salary of this g office, the incumbent had to pay his trav. t? idling expenses, which were considerable, o and that he was compelled to be almost con - r stantlv frorfl home. On the contrary side of the question, it wus alledged,tiint the duties of the office, were not proportioned to the high salary which was paid for their per. . formanci?that he was only required to c make occasional visits to the different pub. ^ lie works in the state, and that, in a fmnn. cial point of view, it was lighly proper, that <r we should now look to the bill of expenses K the debateWent off, an a motion to. refer the t' resolution to the committee on interim] ?s improvements, which it is understood will c be the last of it, for the present session, as that committe will not report in time for n the action of House. In my own opin. n ion, it would be better to abolish theo^Tre, h as that would strike at the very root ufi c he evil. If internal improvements had proved themselves of essential advantage to the country, then the only question is, as to the best mode of carrying out the ) . ?. 4| system?to do tms, we must nave uic scr- i vices of scientifick, honourable gentlemen j * and these must he well paid, Rut the or- j ror is, in adopting the system at all; lor c if we will learn from experience, we have j * been taught an abundance of lessons upon ? j this subject. It will not be hazarding too '' | much to say, that the State has been the. ' sufferrerfin every attempt heretofore made r in the wnv of public works, with the ex? c caption perhaps, of the College, and the.I.J, Lunatick Assy him. Millions of our mon-j * ey,have been lavished upon attempts, to !*; outdo nature herself in brilliant achieve- I.-' ments for the public good, and we have I P no doubt astonished our sister states, by ? j our heroic efforts in this behalf. We need ' * not inquire, what has been the results?let .1 ? our rivers, canals, creeks and rail-roads, I ? speak for themselves; and it is to be feared,, J ihat we will hear a tale, at which statepride may blush, which ought not to ex-1 cite, a different sensation. Shall we pur- ? sue this experiment father, or shnll we. in these tiincsof pecuniary distress, profit by experience, and banish the whole system, from our state?

Rut I P vuuix iiiv v w in ivi ? ?? va ?? ? j _ when the genera! interest is confided to j ? individuals, they are too apt to forget the j former, in the greater solicitude which j ~ they feel for the latter. Thus it is! | that the state is too often overlooked, j and her interests are sunk very frequent, i ? ly in the one-eyed fidelity of her public j * functionaries. A perpetual drain, has j ^ thus been kept upon the treasury, and we ! s have nothing left us but einptv regrets, at ^ the complete disappointment of all our ex- V pcctations. -JThe uufinished debate of yesterday was ^ resumed, at the appointed hour, when Mr. Burt moved that forty five cento on land be stricken out, for the purpose of , of preserving the former rates of taxation. S He demonstrated very clearly, that thdre was no necessity for increasing tliem.?-^- ' Nothing more need be said in this place' ' ; about the debate, but that we had six more 1 speeches, and on the question being been f I put to the House, the vote was 70 in fnv- s | our of the motion, and 49 against it?so t, I that the taxes on lands and negroes, were j, ; not raised. I propose to close this com- c j municaticn, with a brief sketch of Mr. | ^ I Burt, whose name has just been meution- j ?j ! ed. He is one of the members from Ah- j ^ i beville, and inadc his first speech to-day, a i since the session commenced. This may j( seem a little remarkable, as he is a gentle- s ] man of acknowledged abilities, and of very j, high standing at the bar. But, he does ' ! not appear desirous to be heard on every r i subject, which would admit of a speech? |" on the contrary he exhibit no disposition whatever to win the popular applause, by seizing hold of occasions to make himself r heard, or in his private walks, by using s any of the arts of the courtier. Yet he is a a very popular, and useful member, and in every respect an honour to the State. The t writer has seen him often,in his place on the r judiciary committee. It is there when his j c counsel is so important, that he exerts the j r greatest influence upon legislation. lie t examines every matter with the utmost * caution, and detects at a glance, and ex- i poses to view,every objection to which the L proposed measure may be liable. He takes e nothing on faith, but every subject matter, r to the crucible of his own powerful and 1 discriminating mind. He has the moral a firmness to ?iy "no," whenever duty to s 9 country requires it?I need not add it! a rare, and valuable quality, and that th would be well for the*'state, if her ciU. oj ins could number many more among her i ins, who are distinguished by the posses- n on of if.'- In person, Mr. BiirV is very .11, well proportioned. neat, in his dress, ^ id has an eye that shoots out its glances, itha piercing effect?In a word hisinteljence and firmness, claim for him the G a reser ved confidence of the country, and henever its brightest stations of honour j a id usefulness are to be filled, he should ot, and will not be forgotten. i A proposition is now before the House, have the taxas paid in April.
