Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate be diecicd to transmit to each of the Senators, and teprcsantatives from this State in.the Congress f the United States, a copy of this and the fore* ;oing resolution. _____ The Washington correspondent of theSNew,'ork Express lias the following notice of the i J 1 .III- i ? ** - i ujurcfs recently uonvcrco oetorc uie rvationai nstitution by Capt. Wilkes of the Exploring Iquadron: Tlie Oregon Territory was the subject of most f the sketch of Capt. Wilkes last evening.. It I'Ha understood that valuable information had Oen derived by the Expedition in reference to his territory, and many were eager listeners, horcforo, to learn what these new discoveries vcrc. The fact, too, that the War Department tad fitted out in the early part of the present nonth an expedition under the command of hcut. Fremont of the Topigraphical Corps of & *?? F, r- - v. Engineere across the Rocky Mountains, with instructions to examine the country between the mouth of the Kansas and the head waters of tlie I great river Platte, including;the navigable parts. ? of both these rivers, and what is caTled.Uie South? crn Pass of the Rocky Mountains, an<Tthe intermediate country, with a view to the establishment of a line of military posts from the frontiers of Missouri to the mouth of the Columbia River, had given ilg^subject a new interest. It was known, too,That the Philogist of the Exploring . Expedition had been left at Columbia River torptnrn Rnnip W lnn/l tlmf hn had arrived* and it-was expected that some important infor- . mation might bo received by him. This information is no'dohbt in the possession of the department, but fir Wise considerations it has probably been deemed advisable to keep the fruits of these labors for the-present a secret. Capt. Wilkes, however, gave his hearers a succinct account of his arrival on the coast, of his ascending the Columbia River, of the chief tributaries of this noble stream, Lewis and Clark and the Wallanmut rivers, of the productions, the soil, climate flowers, scenery, &.C., adding something to the information of Lewis and Clark, and promising much in the information derived from the surveys, charts ?f which were spread out before his hearers. All this to an American, remembering that it was from the Boston ship Columbia which visited the river in 1701, fourteen years before Lewis j and Clark descended the river, was full of inter- j est. A glowing account was given of the islands,; of the woods which skirt the river, and the fine 1 meadow lands scattered all around. At a sea-1 son earlier than our own, these officers were1 supplied with early fruits and vegetables. These,, however, were hut the green spots of the voyage, j and the loss of the Peacock was a tale of exci-1 ting interest. Captain Wilkes bestowed the; highest praise upon the crew and officers, and in , all his sketches it may be well enough to add,! he has borne the highest tribute of praise to their uniform courage, devotion and manliness of actions; It may be interesting to those of the readers of thd ELxpress who are interested in the Mis-' sionary'enterprise, and particularly since the recent publications from Dr. Emerson, of the Sandwich islands, that since the death of Ivinau, a number of chiefs, aud some of them of the highest rank, had returned to their idolatry and their : iniquity; that Capt. Wilkes visited the several [Missionary rotations, anu ruuyeruu ?h.il bci vicu ho could, as well to those ^Missionaries of the J Cross," who "have their lives in their hand," | for the welfare of the most uncivilized people of the Globe, as to the country whose interest it was his object to promote. The highest tribute of praise was paid to the Missionaries, and no language, was adequate to express the admiration felt for tnose heroic and self-sacrificing men and women, who seem literally to have forsaken "houses, brethren, sisters, father, mother, wife, I and children," for the sake of him, whose reward is promised to be an hundred fold, and the inheritance of everlasting life. The sufferings of the Missionaries would seem to be incredible, and one or two-instances were related to show the brutal power and .ferocity of the younger Chiefs of the Islands who still .adhere to the barbarous practice of eating human flesh, and one of whom, uoon a recent occasion, threatened closed his eves, an 1 ears, and house upon a feasting of human flesh. The Missionary and his wile had shut out the horrid spectacle, as well from disgust at the sight as from the offensive smell of such a sacrifice. His offence wa3 so ! great lii.s lee was not only threatened if he did the like again, but to the act of sacrifice was to 1 be added the more horrid one of eating the man j when murdered. There are eleven of these islands, nine of them inhabited, and probably by about lot),000 or 200,-1 ()();) people. They are named for the Earl of1 Sandwich, and were discovered by Capt. Cook in 1703. Hawaii is the largest. They have a beautiful climate and an abundance of the choice fruits of the earth. The taboo system observed i there from time immemorial is hardly yet abolished. The will of the King is the law of the land. Women have been so degraded by the men, as not only to be prohibited from eating the same kind of food, hut even from having their food cooked by the same fire. Death was the punishment of an invasion of the law. Some twenty-three years since upon the accession of a new King idolatry was abolished, and the example of the inhabitants of the Society Island, two thousand miles distant, was followed. This was inTSiJO. The next year, like good news from a' far country, came the Missionaries from \ Massachusetts, since when changes have been wrought in the manners and customs of the people almost miraculous. Nevertheless, the intelligence now is, that the inhabitants are once more returning to their abomination's. The closing remarks of the lecture of Capt. Wilkes had reference to the importance of the deep, deeep sea, a subject much too deep for me, particularly since bethinks he has discovered a sort of sub-marine ocean of a distinct and peculiar temperature, force, &c. BEWARE OF A ftASCAI, The public are hereby cautioned to beware.r' of a man callinrr himself William H. Tnvlor. who recently uuutonn attempt to murder bis wife in Oglethrope county, and has departed to parts unknown, where he had better remain, to avoid a merited situation in the Penitentiary of this State for his rascality. This fellow came to reside in this county about eight years ago, and by his artful and hypocritical manners*. being a tine looking man, soon ingratiated himself into good society. He unfortunately married ray daughter, and they have four children. Taylor told his wife just before he runaway, that he left a wife and four children in North Carolina, and when he lived there went by the name ol James Henry Ilill, but when ho came to this county he called himself William 11. Taylor, and-passed liimselfoiF as a young man without a family. To prevent this fellow's further deception, 1 will now give his description: Taylor is 1 a spare built man, of a good appearance, about five feet six inches high, black eyes and hair, dark complectiqn, and is very fond of liquor. and when drinking cannot talk plain: he is a good fiddler, and a first-rate boot and shoe maker by trade; he fagenefelly very lively and full of talk, : and well calculated to deceive any one. I am thus particular, that the rascal may be known, ' and prevented from practising similar rascality elsewhere. The papers in North and South Carolina will, perhaps, be rendering a kindness, by publishing the above, thit the public may be on their guard against this accomplished rascal. ' DANIEL CARBINGTON. Wilkes county, Ga. June, 1842. ???? ! -.r.iv. The General Council of New Orleansrhave passed an Ordinance, to take effect after the 1st inst. for the licensing of brokers. The tax for a license is 4,000 dollars. * 4, T, * qp V--? M ' THE NttXT PRE^t^T6 Y: . , It seems now to be certairr t'fyat Mr.* Claris to be th^iptTeral Whig candidate at the next Presiilentiaffelectioh. Thp decided indications of the _ Whig papers throughout ttye Union, leave this matter no longdr doubtfu^S' Undeterred by those defeats his hlipdfed anil rmsguided partizan^still ti persist in presiJ|$? his claims upon the American r people, notwithstanding the decissive demonstra- t tions of their repugnance, both to him and^to the principles and-policy of the party of which he is ' th&orgflftand the head. Intoxicated by the success which crowned their efforts in the humbug ] boon-skin campaign of 1840, they vaii ly flatter , themselves that by a resort to a similar system of imposture and delusion^the peopele may again 3 be gulled in the support* of their condidate, through whose success they hope toconsummate that odious system of policy whose fading measures are a national Debt, a national Bank, and a liifrh Tariff for Drotection. bv which the hard earnings of the poor but honest tiller of the soil are 1 to be transferred to replenish the coffers of the i wealthy capitalist and manufactures? schemes that have, in part, been so providentially arrested during the last year. Already the Richmond Whig, by way of apology for their defeat in the recent elections, says that they have only to rebuild their log cabins, and unfurl the coonskin banner to the breeze, and tiie deluded people, will again llock around it, and fill the air with shouts of victory. But let them not lay the flattering unction to there souls. A burnt child dreads the fire: and an insulted, abused, and deceived people, will not be so readily entrapped, smarting as they are under the effects of the violated promises and forfeited pledges of the | Whigs. .. But again, they place their hopes of success upon the anticipated division in the democratic ranks,and display conspicuously in their journals the rival pretentions of some dozen distimruishi ed members of the party to the Presidency, with ia view of producing the very results they so ar[ dently desire, and from which they hope to reap ' so rich a harvest. But here too they count without their host. While it is a subject of congratulation to the democracy of the country, that they have among their numbers such a brilliant galaxy of distinguished names, either of which would suffer no diminution of lustre in being placed beside those of the illustrious sages and patriots, who have heretofore occupied that elevated station; yet unlike our opponents, we are not devoted to men, we make no idols of our leading politicians, we tolerate no dictators among us, "Principia rum homines" is our inotto, and when we select our candidate it will not be because it is Mr. Calhoun, or Mr. Wright, Mr. Van Bur^n, Mr. Cass, or Mr. any body else, but because he is thefirm and unshrinking 6uppor I LCI VI LUC J/i v?i A/tiuuuiuvj, c*o ! emplified 111 tJie Jives and writings of the great | fathers of our republican faith, and possesses the i firmness and capacity to act -on, and carry them I out in practice. We tell the Whigs for their I comfuijL, that wheu that nomination shall be made" j no matter who may be thepbject of it, they will find the other members of the party, whatever 1 may be considered their claims to tlie?office, or ! their wishes on the subji-ct, acting heart aodlQud, ! in the support of the candidates ol the pailfortacx 1 rilicing all personal and selfish considerattbjS'tO" i the success of the cause and the good dt'tfibaj-country.?Kanawha Jejjersunian. i The Humbugged States.?A ?c\v of the plates have made provision, by law, lor receiving the dividends of the land revenue on the 1st I day of July, instant; and as the day is passed by, we may look hourly for their receivers general to arrive in the metropolis of the Union, prepared with secure conveyances to "transport their precious loads to their Wtate treasuries. These States, and their receivers general, "are aifhumbugged. There is no money here for them, and there will be none. We have shown, heretofore, that the sum total for distribution, on pper, is the miserable pittance,of ?150,000; the dividend of which to the States would be a disgra'efi'to a beggar's wallet. Uut even that is not here.? The wants ol the government have consumed it; the attempt to borrow it in New York has tailed; the present rate of the tariff will not prodouce it; and the agent to borrow it in Eurone has not reached Jus point of destination, 'i'he States, then, which have been sott enough to niake prol vision, by law, to receive their dividends, are humbugged! They are made ridiculous. Their agents come here lor money, and they go back: with a Ilea in the ear. '4.'he are looleu. if it had been the iirat of April, instead of the 1st day of July, thejoki? would not hgve.been so unseasonable.

CONFESS* There has been but little done since^our last, ?. worthy of notice. WemberaTiave been engaged M/k principally in making speeches on the Veto M^s^ sage, in which no "little abuse has been Tieapedir^fi^ upon the President. On the 4th the questionwas taken whether the little tariff bill should _ come a law notwitlistanding the President's mBfc < to, and the .stood?ayes 114. noes 94. > constitutional majority of two-thirds not voting?*^ in the affirmative, the bill of course failed to become a law. It is pretty clearly ascertained that the whig? " will pass another tariff ljjll, whicfi will contain t the same objectionable feature as' the one justT vetoed, and which will meet with a similar fate. There are various opinions as to the course that will be pursued in,,that event. It is supposed by many that Congress will immediately adjourn, and leave the President 4o raiseTevenue as he can; while otherajt^ink that that portion of tHe* whig party who believe the interest of the country to be of more importance tlMtn the " beading of Captain Tyler," Will unite with the democrats in framing a bill which will receive the assent of the President,., v ; TREATY WITH GREAT BRITAIN. We copy the following interesting information from the New York Heral&of the 6th inst. and IT "* ' r trust it may prove correct; though we are-inclined to think, with the edittaifctf the HeraH, that the news "is too good to W^rue." Our latest accounts on the subject, direct from Washington, are dated the 3d Inst, at igJggh time it was 6tated that the Maine commissioners had interposed insuperable objectioga^to the proposed adjustment of the BouiflBrjr Question:? which was thg only question likely to create a difficulty between the two countries: A gentlo?ian of high political standing in Washington, reached this-city from that place * yesterday ??Xternoori; and stated to us, that he had ritfrom pndoflhted authority in the'State Depart- ? at Washington, that ^tretUyhnd been cot[Sided between the United Slates and Great Britfotn, which effectually settles all the existing difficulties between the two ?ountries. ** As far as he had learned, The treaty-had Seen drawn up in time to forward by the last steamer from Boston, the Britannia, and w^ taken out to England, by Ma jot Cooke, jn that "vessel.: This treaty, he say?, was signed-on Monday, the fourth of Julv, and is, in substances, lIH'the following yt effect: ~ > The Right of Search is givefi ufijiy Great Britain, the United States undertakirigto do all that^ -J it can to stop thoslave trade under its flag.'v* .: % The Maineboundary line is disposed of thns: the United States is to have the navigation of the river St Johns to the sea; all that piece of land between our present Mairtc boundary line apd the St Johns River; also the cityofFreder- . ictpOj-the capital town c&he Province of NewBrunswick, the present-seat of government of* that Province.
