tendency and inevitable mult of which, would
be to transform the present republican system
of the United States, into an absolute govern

The Sixth Resolution reads thus :
lientved. That the several Acts of the Con

Mr. Levy moved 'as aft amendment

The amendment wis rejected, Ayes
53, Noes 60. Mr. Harrison then
moved to amend it io as to read " that
whenever the States are suffering,
4c." t This amendment was unani
mously rejected. , The vote was then
t.ken on the Resolution, and stood
thui : Ayes 00, Noes 24. . "
The last Resolution was read as
follows: .
It herd. That thii State having long rub'
mined lo the oil, in the hope of iedree from
the wid.m and juitics of Ihe Federal (ivern
mrnt, doth no lonfer perceive any ground to
entertain eneh hope, and (htttfure, that it is
neccaaary and expedient that a Convention uf
the People of Ihia State be a?mliled, to meet
aftet the etjMtt wf the ewvoirrjr Srttifin of
the Cotigrcie of the United Statea, for the pur.
pnae of taking into ceneideration the aaid viola
ti jnf of the Uonnitutional Compact. ,
I' was moved by Mr. Dunkin, and
seconded by Mr. It. Barnwell Smith,
that the words after " resolved snd
down to 'thst it is" be stricken out
so as to read "resolved that it is ati
eessary, dj-c." This motion was made
to obviate the objections of a few of
the members of the Convention side,
who were ui willing to make so s demo
by'lBe GcncraTGovc?nmcnt, and car.
riedbyja vote of 68 to 47. The ques
tlon was then taken on the lltsolution,
which-was carried by -a ve-te of 60 to
56. There were eight members nb
sent from the M -use, from sickness
and other cause, but it is supposed
that their presence would have varied
very little the c mparative result.
The question then arose, whether
the resolutions should be sent to the
Senate,, and the Speaker expressed
some doubt, whether that on Coovco
non, could be sent there: inasmuch as
it had passed, by a roajori'ty oulyv JThe
questttm jwas r tferrtd lo the-1 louse;
sfl'QJt W-is decided, . that the . icsolu.

Thus ended this important discus
sion. We have not space at present
to make further remarks, uut will
'ere long, congratulate our readers on
the signal success of the , Republican
party- throughout the whole session,
