WEDNESDAY MOIIMMI, DECEMBER 21. 1312.
Judge Haiti: has been elected Senator in
Congress, in the place of Mr. Calhoun.
Wo understand that the Court of Appeals has
refused to grant Ei.ias Foito a new trial, and that
he has been sentenced to be hung on the 7th of
April next.
In the absence of a letter from our Columbia
correspondent, we make the following extract
from a letter in the Charleston Mercury of the
Kith inst.
Mr DcSaussurc this morning made an able Report
on the resolution which hud been referred to the
Committee on Federal IP-la (ions, enquiring as to
the expediency of repealing the law to prevent tho
citizens of New York from carrying, away slaves
and persons bound to service in this State. The
Committee take the proper view of this matter, and
in recommending that the law be continued in force
only throw a proper and defensive basis around our
rights and the safety of Southern institutions. In
fact, the provision of the law, authorizing the Governor
to suspend the action of its measures, so soon
as the Executive should bo informed that the State
of New York has complied with the requisitions of
our sister Stato Virginia, obviates the necessity of
repeal by the Legislature; for the law should be left
a record on our statue hook as a demonstration of
what we will ever be ready to do in protection of our
peculiar institutions, both civil and domestic.
Mr. Hunt from the Committee, on Federal Relations,
made a lengthy and able report on the Tariff
question. It is a strong, defensive, yet conciliatory
argument. From its length I decline to make
an abstract, for I know that its intcrost will ensure
a republication entire in your columns, and I will
lake measures to send you a copy of the same at an
early day, as it lias been ordered lobe printed, und
made the special order of the day on Friday next.
The House then went into Committee of the
whole on the District Dills, of the House and the
Senate, Mr. Mcmmingor in the Chair. Upon mo[ion
the Committee took up the Dill of the House,
Llio accompanying report of which recommends the
adoption of the pian last scut you. M. Quatllclium
moved to striko out Lexington and insert it after
Edgefield. Mr. Pcrrin advocated the junction of
Abbeville anil Edgefield. Mr. Henry said he was
much inclined to prevent the disseverance of Abbeville
and Edgefield, and thought that Newberry
which had so much to complain of by an undue
preponderance in the size of the other districts,
should have Lexington attached to give her support.
Mr. DeSaussure, said he could not consent to the
proposition?tint Richland and Nowborry were both
countiiiL' the alliance of Lexintrton?that the new
arrangement cast Richland into an alliance with
which she had never associated. Said he perceived
in the horizon, a storm which might prove as ogi.
tating as the one through which we had once passed.
That some of those Districts which the proposition
designed to annex, were arrayed against the Stale
Rights party in those days, and might (with due
deference to gentlemen representing those districts,)
be again the commanding districts?that Lexington
and Richland had always been allied, wero now allied
by natural links, and from the union between
these Districts, would continue to be allied in their
business transactions.
Mr. Chesnut remonstrated against the arrangement
proposing annexation of Lexington?said he
flwliltcil 11 in ari'llinent of I lie irnnllpmnn fmm
land, which appealed to the prejudices of the House,
and asked if tho people of South Carolina were to
stamp tho citizens of Kershaw, bccauso that District
differed honestly in opinion from a majority of the
Slate, and as the argument was ad cap tandum, lie
hoped the house would entertain the proposition.
Mr. DeSaussurc replied, said lie was one of tho last
to revive those ancient differences, and complimented
Lite District 011 its patriotism; but said, the time
illicit coino when the some principles might be revived,
and then his District might bo crushed by an
jverwhclming inlluoncc, and asked if tho remarks
j which he had made were not characterized by proper
generosity.
Our Congressional District is composed of
1 Richland, Sumter, Kershaw, Lancaster andFair|
field Districts.
IE7"We copy the following synopsis of the
President's Message, from the Columbia Chronicle,
of last week.
"After the usual preliminary of referring toj
the bounties of the Creator, the abundance ofj
the crops, and the blessings of health and peace,!
which have been bestowed upon the nation, the I
President offers his congratulations on the set-1
tlement of the question of peace and war by the J
late treaty with Great Birtain; and adverting toi
the still unsettled questions of disputed territo- [
ry, lying on the Pacific ocean, and reciprocity ofj
commercial intercourse, promises to seize upon
the present moment, when most of the causes of,
irritation have passed away, to cement the peace
ana amity 01 tne two countries Dy removing, uy
negotiation, all grounds of probable future collision.
With the other powers of Europe nothing has
occurred to destroy the harmony and good feel'
ing. Our relations with the South American
I States are also pracific. The Mexican republic,
I by advices from our Minister at the Court, has
; agreed to an amicable and just satisfaction for the!
i awards and claims of our citizens:
The prospect in regard to the finances of the
1 nation is better than has been generally anticipaI
ted, and is comprised in the following state- j
! mrnt:
| "The balance in the Treasury on 1st of Janua:
ry, 1842. exclusive of the amount deposited with
! the States, Trust FundB and Indemnities, was
i ?2,10,483 08. The receipts into the Treasury
during the three first quarters of the present ,
year, from all sources, amount to ?26,516,j
593 78; of which more than fourteen millions;
j were received from customs, and about one mil-1
lion from the public lands. The receipts for the ;
i fourth quarter are estimated at neariy eight mil'
lions; of which four millions are expected from
customs, and three millions and a quarter from
loans and treasury notes. The expenditures of
the three first quarters of the present year exceed
twenty six millions; and it is anticipated
there will be a deficiency of half a million on the
first day of January next?but that the amount j
of outstanding warrants (estimated at ?800,000) |
will leave an actual balance of ?224,000 in the!
Treasury. Among the expenditures for the (
year are more than eight millions for the public
debt, and ?600,000 on account of the distribution
to the States of the proceeds of the sales of
the public lands."
In regard to the late Tariff, he proposes to (
congress the propriety ot revising its provisions;
and adjusting it in such a way as to unfit the in-]
terests of all; neither giving exclusive benefits to;
some nor imposing unnecessary burdens upon
others. He also suggests the.propriety of intro-1
ducing among its provisions the warehousing!
system; thus enabling the importer to keep his *
goods in the public stores without paying the duties
until he can find market forthem?the method
or advancing the cash for duties, on the arrival
of the goods, having proved onerous to the.
importer.
He refers to the reports of the Secretaries of .
War and Navy, as exhibiting full and sat sfactory
accounts of the various interests committed to
their charge; states that the expenditures for the
military services are greatly reduced, and asks
for an increased appropriation for the naval ser- f
vice to be appropriated to the purchase of clothing,?(which
amount would be reimbursed by its i
sale again,) to cover arrearages of past years, and
to maintain a competent squadron on the coast i
of Africa. He also states that a system of ac- t
countability is established in every department <
of the Government, and great pains are taken to |
insure industry, fidelity and economy on the part (
of the public officers.
The Post Office Department, it appears, is al- ,
so in a flourising state; the expenditures having
been brought within its income without lessen- j
ingits general usefulnese.
The Exchequer plan, which is altogether the
most important part of the Message, comes next. t
It proposes to place it under the control and direction
of three individuals to hold their offices for
the respective periods of two, four, and six years,
with subordinary boards in each State; and that
$5,000,000 in specie should be retained out of
tka rnunniioo nf f~lonnsnn^nnt no n Vtnoia fur tllO
issue of notes, not to exceed in amount the maximum
of 815,000,000, in denominations of not
less than $5, nor exceeding 8100, redeemable '
in gold or silver at the place of issue; and to be
employed as a medium for exchanges, and for j
the payment of the public creditors, at their option;
these notes to be receivable at all times and
every where in payment of public dues."
