Til* gentleman from York who ealled up tliia
dis'isctission,alluding to tho manner in which tlin
resolutions repotted m tho lad session of tho Le

gone abroad as the wntimtiiti of this body. Mr.
ft. said ho wopld go further: aud state the origin
of -thbse r?fblutious, and the purposo for which
they have bee.< ealled for discussion at this tiran.
The late governor, in III* message, part of which
has' been read, by the chnirmau, complained, in
language too violent and strooj? to be. misunder
stood, of the encroachments of Iho general gov*,
eminent and federal Judiciary and remonstrated
agalnstitheu. . At the Instance of some gentle*
man. that part of the message was referred to a
special committee, who reported late In tho last
%siskin, too late for the full discussion of the sub;
.{?ell and the report was suffered 4o Me on the ta
ble. Thpsn resolutions have now been called dp
for discussion, Viol In Mr; H's opinion, because
thnre is any thine In them so aUrmlug', for, hjjoo
looking altthfl fes^luUprii themselves, tbey are

they bare been cnllcd up for the purpose of sub
stituting otbor resolutlMCi perhaps more palitn*

which they wish to send out as the sentiments of
South-Carolina. Other resolutions have been of*
fered by the gentleman from Yoffc, at an amend*;
ment; pud tho couteipicuce is'thai we shall have a
-^reat deal of uunece>?ary and fruitless discussion
about that which Is not properly the subject of
