It is true that we bear the title of legislators, of representatives of the free people of the Old North .State ; It is also true tbat they have confided a great trust in us, arid therefore expect that we will advocate every measure,' adopt every plan, and in fine, use our utmost exertions, feeble though they may be, for the success of every thin? which we may think will redound in the least degree imaginable to their interest, good beirrg, and welfare. But,' Sir, I contend, that in attempting to eradicate, as it were a great fundamental "principle, to abolish a long established system of this nature, us; and exulted in the call.' And although unanimity was as important then as it is now, their patriotitm chuckled over our embarrassment. . . -' Mr. Speaker, how" does the matter now standi The resolutions originally introduced by a Whig, have been referred to a committee of four, two of either party, to be altered, pruned down, and smoothed over, so that the opinions of all might be met. The result of the labors of the committee are before as. The question stands upon the adoption of the resolutions introduced by the committee. Theayes and noes have been called And this call has brought upon us the implication of a want of generosity and pa triotism. The resolutions embarrass some of our friends of the 'other party.. They wish us to come to their relief, and takeaway the diasagreeable necessity of recording; their votes upon the journal. If we do this, Mr. Speaker, they must look upon it as a debt of magnanimity on our part not that they deserve such generosity. It will be a return of good for evil. And the gentleman from. Pitt will at once perceive with what bad grace the appeal be has made to our patriotism, &c. in a matter of this kind,. comes from from one of his party. ' . liut, Mr, bow will the great benefits of unanimity, on this most important question, be secured by 'sup pressing the call for the ayes and noes 1 Are we in secret session ! Are our doors and windows so clos ed, that the news will not' go forth from thjs Hall that the call of. the ayes ana noes was not made, for fear Southern gentlemen will' be found differing upon this subject 1 The only meamrof securing this unani mous expression, so greatly desired by. all of us, is for gentlemen freely, boldly,; and fearlessly to record their votes in favor of the resolutions.. And if, un fortunately, there should be three or four gentlemen upon the other side who cannot vote in the amrmative. let the position they occupy be - known. . 'And, Sir, I have too high an opinion of the gentlemen, who are disturbed by this question,; to suppose they would desire to avoia tne responsibility oi an opn ana puo lic action. . - Tax Gold Region. 'Letters have been received in this' city, from the capital of Mexico, containing later advices from California than any which have yet been published. One of these letters, from an intelligent gentleman, and who is well informed on the subject, states-that further discoveries have been made in the gold region, which yield even a more abundant supply of the article than the previous diggins." The quan tity gathered already amounted to at least -$100,000 daily, and was constantly increasing, without appa rently any" exhaustion," or any limit to tne supply. There was a great deal of distress among all. the dig gers for the want of the common necessaries of life, and attended with very extensive sickness" and mor tality. Men loaded with gold, appear like haggard vagabonds, clothed in filthy and tattered garments ot the meanest kind. - It is 'stated that one man, who had two barrel of brandy, sold them out at the mines, hv th a small wine-o-laas. at rates which realized him the will of those who sent us should Be directly con- Xfwrtcen thousand dollar in gold. Every thing, and oiiuuiu ni meicjjr suppuav wimi is iuc particularly articles ot food and raiment, were at most people, but should, as far as possible, unheard-of prices, for gold was so plenty and in the suited : we will of the have it reduced to a certainty." 1 sincerely hope that this matter will not be acted on-at this session of the Legislature ;. but, Sir, as a large majority of those on this floor "will probably be candidates in eighteen hundred and fifty, I want the bill postponed, and let each member preserve a copy to carry home with him; and if he is before the people two years hence, let him take it around to all the tax-gatherings and mus- terneias in nis county, ana reaa it over, taiK u over, aud explain it to the people.- Yes, Sir, let him en tertain and express sentiments - either in favor or in opposition to the whole matter ; then let him act ac cording to the circumstances under which he may be elected. Sir, from the course which -has been pursued, it is manliest that the bill id its present shape does not suit every one, for amendment after amendment has been offered, and if sobered to live longer the bill will be a perfect rndU tndilita Que molar. "With all due deference to some of" the- gentlemen who argued this question, I woold-here femark that I was tempt ed to rise in mv seat this morntng" and exclaim, in the languagerof the western lawyer, - that it-would be as easy to follow a -cat fistf through the-' muscle shoals, to pursue an eehide Kued- through the suck, to sail up the Mississippi on a strawy and to set the - - . -1 f i i . i .
