THE LEGI8LATUHE.
The Legislative proceedings to far present no
nut licit* of much general interest?being chiefly <
occupied with tlie reception of Petitions find j t
Memorial*, and the Reports of the various Coin- ! '
mitlces. Various important measures will com- | <
up for discussion dining the present and the , i
coniing Xrcek. Atuong either# Bills introduced
into the Senate, we eev that Vol. .'1. t-'. Marshall ;
has introduced a Hill iu iclalkm to Hawkers j (
and I'cdlars ; that Ocn. Mctiowan has in- ; (
trod reed a Bill into the House, providing j
I ngaiust the improvident disposition of properly ( '
i to churitnhlc mm.-, and Capt. J. X. Cochran n ,
Hill lo remove Free persons of color from the
Stub*. I
Anions; the important n.easurcs of t.tio Session,
is that for extending uiil to the Hlue lliilgc '
llailrond, /iml it seems probable tli.it the aid wiil I
be granted. The course of (he President mid
Dii eel-ore, in expending all their resources <lo- j?
rived from pinvate source?, is said to have im
pressed the Legislature with increased conti- |
denee in the enterprise,?and so much iiioim-v v
has bi'i'ii already expended, tlint few are willing
to uudeitako tlii* responsibility ?f making u I o- J ji
tit! Faerifice of the work. Tin- proposition now ' I.
before the Senate, is the motile which passed the I '*
House at the last session, with an additional . 'j,
proviso, that the means derived frotn the Slate j u
be ?>penl within her borders. This obviates the i T
objection to spending tJ;e ilium; of the fclato, t 'J1
without her limits. :
A prominent feature of the Session. Ims been 1 b
tlx* passage of numerous resolutions on I'Vder- _
nl ntrails, and which indicates the poner-i
al excitement which prevails in ivfeicnce to i t|(
the recent Abolition movements at the North, i '<
Wj*o and coitft-rvativc men arc begining to \ ^
count tlic value of the I'uion, nnd to piopare , jfor
the event of its dissolution. The follow- :
ing Resolutions, introduced into the II?u*c l>3*so ; A
consistent and zealous an upholder ofthe L'uion, |
as the Hon. U. F. Perry form a significant fea- ' ^
ture of the times: \
Mr. Perry offered the following:
Jiisohcd, That- the people of South Carolina
feel no apprehension as to the permanent ex- . cl
istenee, safety and eeeurit}' of their domestic . ?
institution of African slave labor, founded ux
it is in tlic be-t interi st and happiness of t! '
Idack and white races, and which we are pre- ,
?ared to protect and defend at any and every ;
inerinee. euner 01 political ivlati'ins with the j
Federal Government or the Nor thern States,
ihould it Ik; involved or assailed in nny manner "l
>r f'jim wtmlovcr. " :
7t<sofvrd, Thn*. the Slate of South Carolina !
lolds herself in vendinessnt nil 1 hues to act in !
lor.cert with Ii?ri* sister slaveholdintj States, in
iny manner which they may deem advisable, . '
o maintain ami lo defend the interests of llie
ionth in (he I'uion or out of it, as they in 1
heir wisdom may determine.
Jifttoh'td, That, she feel* iuexpressihle-ccorn :
ml c-oiiti-mpt nt the infamous and hypocritical ,
ymnathy expressed hy a portion of the
Coi-lherii people, in the recent. attempt at in- 'nl
urreetion at Harper's Ferry headed hy a no- j
urious horsethief, ns.-a>?.in and traitor, whom p!'
liey have audaciously eulogised as a hero and ' S'
hristicn martyr iu his treason, murder and , "V
ol?bery. , "
. ' on
Hcxolvca That the rrnrrnl nd<>r>?i..n nf cn..1> ? :
>eliii{j and such a sent intent, alike revolting to i cn
hristiuuity nnd civilization, liy the Northern j
tates, will make it dishonorable ami dishonor ^
ng in Sou ill Carolina and the other elavehold- 1
ig S"Ht-9, to continue united in the same

HE REPUBLICAN PARTY, ABOLITIONIZED. ^
The New Yoik Herald, publiahes a starthnir
^position of the principles, ond ulterior dc- ,.f
gn9 of the Republican lenders, which shows ^
learly that the pari}* is thoroughly abolition
:ed in sentiment, an<l that its leading Slates- ' ^
i?n have given aid and countenance to the 1 jc
lost revolutionary designs. ' sin
It appears that ever since the Oth of March f?i
ist a book callcd u "Compendium of the Im- !
ending Crisis of the South," has been secretly ' jn,
rculated in large numbers in the Northern a t
tates, endorsed bv u private circular, to which j Cl>1
rc appended the names of a Governor of tlie
Late of New York, and other prominent men. f.,j
id of nixty-eiglit members of Congress. Tlic ; fr?i
'irafd published copious extracts from the rev- j ^ ?
utionury pages of the Book, and the list of j ^
ibscribtrs, who have paid large sums for iu j j(
irculution. > tin
The Book declares the pnrty to be complete- | l'"
abolitionised, and its design to hurry on an ;
uti-alavery revolution, in the following etri- j ||,.
ing language: j Co
"Slavery must i>c throttled. " * No mnn j
tn he ii true patriot without becoming nn j
>oli?iotiist. " Every victim of the vile !
ittlitutioii, whether white or black, must l.c Sj.
invested with I lie FRcreil rights. " * \V?* tiv
elieve the Northern people linve been loo ! ni<
irupiilous. * * They oppronclicd but half i tiu
ny to the line of their duty." The lion- jof
aveholdcr* of the South nre thus exhorted: ! ofi
[)o not reserve the strength of your nrrne un- ; us
I you shall linve been rendered powerless to ! 0d
rike nnd the slaveholders nrc tolJ, "It is ' nil
r you to decide whether we are to have jus- : evi
ce peaceably or by violence, for whatever con- ; wi
queuccs may follow, we are determined to . Ju
*ve it one way or tli?: other.'* I lin
Such are the sentiments not of a few wild j e"
nation, ravru? abolitionist* or ineaue l-'ourier- i ,al
es, but of men of wealth and position at the J p,.(
orui, ana me leaders ol J lie .party. Tb?y pro- rm

Bees, and which implicate tlie Repulilioan
arty in the dissemination of eeutimenU which | Cu
re auggeelive and defensive of insurrection, '
eason, robbery and murder throughout the .

Such are the indications of the commence- int
lent of that "irrepressible conflict," which is. ^
spidly coming to a crisis?of thnt clash of as'
pinion una inwirent -which is rapidly leading pel
) practical results. As evidence of the views "?
rliieli moderate men are beginning to ontertin
of the real extent of dnnger, we make the jcl
>llowing extract from a letter of the well-id- no
>rmed Washington crrrcspondent of the JourjI
