! MISCELLANY.
Newberry Agricultural Society.
The No whirry Agricultural Society will
j celebrate their anniversary 011 Wednesday
land Thursday, the IGtli and 1 7th days ofj
j July next. The meetings will bo held in
the grovo immediately below the Academy;
j and will begin at 10 a. m. each day. The
President desires (hat there should be, on
this the last occasion that he expects to
preside over the meeting, a full attendance.
'illis Society has been one of the many"
objects to which he has looked for many
years as likely to prove beneficial to the Disi
trict. It has realized this expectation. The
Agriculture of Newberry is superior to that i
of any other district in the State. The So
ciety l>y the number and value of its reports
anil the zeal and activity of its meetings
lias given a character to the district,
which is a causc of pride and hope to every
citizen. i
For seventeen years the President has ;
been at its head, and ever at hi* post : lie
thinks he may now claim the indulgence of
becoming a prirulc. There are so many
active and intelligent members, that he i
j hopes a successor will be easily obtained.
I lie therefore says "attend brother members
j and receive my resignation and farewell!

Wo find in the Union, of Wednesday

of the United States, upon the recent J,
ifiiculty between Mr. Brooks and Mr. I

ul Mr. Pennington, of Now .Jersey, staling r
ic facts ol the ease, cowhides as follows :
Chan. Standard. ,
The act cannot, therefore, he regarded by t
ic Committee otherwise than as an ng- .,
ravated assruilt upon the inestimahle r
gilt of freedom of speech guarantied by j:
ie Constitution. It asserts for phsical v
rce a prerogative over governments, con- ti
itutions. and laws; and if earned to its c
Itiinale consequences. must result iu an c.hy,
and bring in its train all the evils of s
"reign of terror."' j
The committee, therefore, in conformity |
i the spirit of the resolution of the Tl.ouse (
id their sense of public duty, are con- ;
rainc i to recommend to the ITonre the ^
issage of such a resolution as will vindi- t,
uc lis own character and rebuke ihe I;
ember wlio lias, so unhappily Tor himself
id the country, perpetrated this great j;
rong. ^ n
The committee <lo not discuss the pows
of the House to punUh its disorderly
embers, nor do they undertake to argue c,
e general question as to what constitutes
breach of privilege. The passage of the ?
solution raising the committee is regarded 0
i a declaration on the part of the TTnuse p
its power to call its members to account ],
r such 'ftfttRaa .violate the privileges of the f,
inate. This assault having been commit- ^
d by a member upon a Senator "whilst ;l
mainjng in his seat in the Senate chain- (j
*r in 'tuc performance of- the duties per- p
ining to his official station," and for words p
ere spoken in^Jebate, the committee have ^
) doubt of the right or power of the jj
ofise to adopt the resolution which they j|
commended. a
No testimony has been taken, nor are c
e committee aware of any. which shows j,
at any other member of the House was j|
tlier actively engaged in the assault, or 0
.'sicned to pnmminorv

miner, nor tlirtt any other member knew | ^
e "precise fifnc lehcn," or "the p/ncc ichcrew l ?

iny one that neither theso three departments
combined, nor any one of them alone, can ex-,
jrcise any power which is not derived from
ho constitution. Wo hold that the privlp<ros
of tho Senate and of the House must
>o looked for in the same instrument, and
hat none exist except those which are exircssly
declared in the constitution, or set
nrth in some law passed in pursuance
hereof, or pome rule adopted under the

iuuiumu ui me nauiu. it wouia De strange,
ndeed, if the framers of tlie constitution
ihould Lave denied to all the departments
>f the government, collectively as well as
o each individually, the exercises of any
>ther than the powers expressly delegated
o them, and yet should have left to the two
louses the right to claim and exercise priviliges
independent of the grants of the contitution.
Congress canvass no law subjecting any
;itizen to punishment unless it shall be in
nirsuance of a power delegated by the
:onstitulioii ; nor can the Executive exoriisc
any authority unless it be derived from
he same source. If, however, we are pernittcd
to look for the privileges of the
umnic !ina 01 tlie House to some other
lu.irter than to the constitution, it would
resent the strange anomaly of denying to
he two bodies in their legislative capacity
ho exercise of inherent or inferential powers
: fleeting the liberty of the citizen, and yet
granting to either one, in their separate poitions,
the exercises of such a power. It
rouhl seem necessary onlj* to state the proposition,
ami that its bare statement would
ai ry with its own refutation.
The admission of such a right would con
tit ute either house of Congress a legislative,
udicial, and an executive pow$r combined ;
laving the power of a Legislature to pate
lie law, the p^wcr of a judge to expound
t, and the power to execute it. A more
>eifa.-.t despotist 11 never lias and never can
xist than?if such be the fact?does exist
11 either branch of Congress.
In reply to the assumption that tho pariainent
gives the source from which-this
utfjority is claimed, tlie powers assumed
,n?l oxf-rcised by that body are comtidefftd,
lid upon this subject llie following opinion is
x pressed:
It is jfcbus scon that tlie British Parliament,
tfnutfr the doctrine of privilege exerised
an unlimited power -of fine and irarisonment,
and in some of the cases*cite<i
ave gone so far as to banish the citizorft
om the realm". In fcther cases they-have*
aused their private d woltifigs ty ,bb searftfrdid,. Qfrnd,
without other *nuthority-"'OPl^y-'<fiftiti
liat exercised by virtue of their q^suraecl
rivilege, havo seized- and "destroyed the
roperty of the citizen. Will it bfc contended
hat such powers, can be exercised by either
ioiiscs of Congress? If Congress derives
Is privileges from the parliamentary law,
.nd that parliamentary law recognizes no
iti&ftfycstraint except the wisdom and the
ustice of those who exerojse the power,then
i. is for each hoqso'of Congress, atthe ^ime
f the commission of any act which iE.fnay
hinlc proper to regard as a violation of^a
n ivileges, so to determine and to declai$f$At
uch act is a violation of its privileges, and
fl ififlirt nnniolimn?if ifr '" Ala
retion, may-determine upon. To this ex1ent
must ihe doctrine bo carrftd/ if%e
3ok to that source at nil to ascertain- the
irivileges of either house of congress.
?holo parliamentary law on the subj^oi
mist either be repudiated or adopted. If
k-o adopt it, we have, then, existing in our
lOiintry, a body of men ni^orizded, after
he commission of %n not,, ,to;^declare 'that
ict a violation of'oangresgTotifal" privHJege,
