They have been relieved from the I heavy amounts with which they were burdened f 1 . i -C? I ! nnaeriormer lawsiumeiormoi increaseu prices or bounties paid to favoured classes and pursuits. The predictions which were made, that tbe tariff act of 1840 would reduce the amount of revenue below that collected under the act of 1842. and would prostrate the business and destroy the prosperity ofthe country, have not been verified. With an increased and increas. ing revenue, the finances are in a highly flour, isbing condition. Agriculture, commerce and navigation are prosperous ; the prices of man. ufacturcd fabiics and of other products are much lets injuriously affected than was to have been anticipated from the unprecedented revulsions wbicb, during the last and the present year hare overwhelmed the industry and paralyzed the fircdit and, commerce of so many great and enlightened nations of Europe. i Severe commercial revulsions abroad have always heretofore operated to depress, and of. ten to affect disastrously, almost every branch of American industry. The temporary deprcs. . sion of a portion of our manufacturing interests is the effect of foreign causes, and is far less . tare re than has prevailed on all similar occa. i ion i. .lt is believed that, looking to the great ag. gregata of all our interests, the whole count ry was never more prosperous than at the present . period, and never more rapidly advancing in wealth and population. Neither the foreign war in which we have been involved,! nor the loans which have absorbed so large a portion of our capital, nor thi commercial revulsion in Ureat Uritain in 1847, nor the paralysis of credit and commerce throughout Europe in 1648, have affected injuriously to any conside rable extent any of the great interests of the dounlry, or arrested our onward march to great, ness, wealth and. power. Had the disturbances in Europe not occurred, our commerce would undoubtedly have been still more extended, and would have added still more to the national wealth and public prosper, ity. But, notwithstanding these disturbances, Ihe operations of the revenue system establish, ed by tho tariff act of 1810, have been so gen. erally beneficial lo tbe government and the bu. sinest ofthe country, that no change in its pro. visions is demanded by a wise public policy, and none is recommended. The opera! ions of the constitutional treasury established by the acl ofthe 0th of August, 1848, in tha receipt, custody and disbursement of tbe public fndney, have continued to be successful. Under this system ihe public finances have been earned through a foreign war. involving the there, just as a thousand hogs let loose in a for. est would root up ground-nuts.

They make the most who employ the mrsteele's resolutions. We.ivuc hitherto forborne from saying arrr-thing concerning Jhe Resolutions in troduccd iinUhe House; of Commons by JkJr. Steele ; batons the indications. nre, iudinjr from the spirit manifested upon Mr. Stanly's motion, on i uuruny im, io postpone indefinitely, that they nre to be productive of some feeling, and perhaps difficulty, we can hesitate no longer. As if the elements were not sufficient ly disturbed by the questions at issue be twnen the two political parties in the Leg islature, to wit : the election of Public Of ficers, the decision of contested elections, and the manifold questions of State poli cy which legitimately pertain to our Gen eral Assembly, we were surprised that Mr. Steele, without consultation with his friends or anv body, should suddenly thrust Lnpon the Legislature this string of South pCarolina abstractions, concerning the rights and duties of the General Govern ment in the management of the Territo ries of the United States. The dogmas contained in these Resolutions are of lit tle practical importance ; for whether we are allowed or denied the right of convey ing Slaves into these Territories, can ne or at any time. And in the absence ot infor mation, touching any new issues which may be made, in our country hereafter, I only desire to know which side ofthe question South Carolina advocates; it will be my duty,. as it is my pur pose, to take the opposite side ! In the recent Presidential election, I discov er lhat your State has voted for General Cass, a notorious Abolitionist known to be tuch. He was born an Abolitionist ho was raised one- and he is still one -having avowed himself to bo a Wilmot Prorisoist, upon the floor of the Senate, in the hearing of Mr. Calhoun, who in structed you to vote for him. . I regard Mr. Cal houn, your great leader, as a corrupt politician, and a dangerous man, seeking to dissolve this glorious Union. I regard him as insincere iri all his pretended concern for the South. The leading noliticians ofv the dominant party in your State, I regard as a band of Nutlifiers and j disorganizers, who, with all their cheap profes- . sions of chivalry, anu tneir ajjeciea uisaain oi tho alleged selfishness of the Free States, are as timeserving and office seeking, as any set of politicians within the range of my obser vation. And a belief ou the part of Mr. Cal houn, that Cass would be elected, in connection with his inordinate desire Jbr office, induced him to order his understrappers in your Legis lature to vote for Cass. And now, gentlemen, look at the position your State occupies ! Side by side you stand, with the Abolitionists of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois ! Arm and arm is South Carolina with the Hartford Convention Federalists of New Hampshire ! Hand in hand, you are, with the I ifii f .,ni i a i tvKPUDi ator oi Illinois ! "uneeu ny jolo you j are marshalled, among the Murderers and j Thieves of Texas! What a mixture! What political associations ! For my part ITicver in tend to be associated with a parly which expects, needs, or seeks favors of South Carolina ! I regard your proposition for a " Convention of the Slaveholding States,' together with an expressed determination " to resist at all haz ards," what you are pleased to style " the ag- gressions of the r rec Soil taction, as a revo lutionary movement, haying for its object the dissolution oft his Union, and as such, I throw it back upon you with feelings of indignation and contempt. I am a Southern man, with Southern princi ples, and will ever be found true to Southern in. terests, unless the South, in an evil hour, should consent to be led by John Cataline Calhoun, whom .Gen. Jackson sought to hang for trea son and rebellion, during his Presidential reign I CLAIMS BEFORE CONGRESS. If further evidence! were required than has been heretofore afforded of the neces sity, or at Icnst tfio expediency, of the es tablishment of n tribunal of some sort for tf, nrfindieation of cinims ? against ihe Government ofthe United States, it is fur nished by the brief history of yesterday's Proceedings in the House of, lleprescnta tivf which v ill be found in a preceding column. What on earth is lo become of the mass of Private Bills and Reports ly ing over on the table of the House from last session, or of that additional mass of claims for the allowance of which Pe titions may be expected to be presented at this session ? But, still more, what is to become of the crowd of claims of everv description, growing oat of the war, which are to throng the avenues to the House of Representatives for a quarter of a cen tury to come, unless some other mode can be devised of disposing of them T There nr. fHr-tiltips. wfi know, in the way of the establishment of a Board for this purpose. But, with all drawbacks and deductions from the recommendations of such a measure, we cannot but think that i the experience of the Government on this CAROLIN Hall THURSDAY nvi I I -.11 .... l- r- n - f A,-an art ver affect the Southern Slave owner ; for j e wou' w r n..er an economical auu pruuuuai mcw ui iuk wild Indians to hunt it for them. 'I here is one man who has sixtj Indians in his employ his profits are a dollar a minute. I he wild In dians know nothing of its value, and wonder what the pale ficcs want to do with it ; they will give announce of it for the same weight of coined silver, or a thimble full of glass beads, or a glass of grog. And white men themselves often give an ounce of it, which is worth at our mint eighteen dollars or more, for a bottle of brandy, a box of soda powders, or a plug of to bacco. As to the quantity which the diggers get, take a few facts as evidence. I know seven men who worked seven weeks and two days, Sundays excepted, on Feather river : they em ployed on an average fifty Indians, and got out in these seven weeks and two days two hun dred and seventy-five oounds of pure irold. I know the men and have seen the gold, and know what they state to be a fact so stick a pin there. I know ten other men who worked ten days in company, employed no Indians, and averaged in these ten days fifteen hundred dol lars each ; so stick another pin there. I know another man who got out of a basin in a rock, not larger than a wash bowl, two pounds and a half of gold in fifteen minutes ; so stick another pin there ! Not one of these statements would I believe, did-1 not know the men personally, and know them to be plain matter of fact men men who open a vein of gold just as coolly as you would a potato hill. The gold is obtained in a variety of ways ; some wash it out ofthe sand with bowls, some with a machine made like a cradle, only longer and open at the foot, while at the other end, in stead f a squalling infant, there is grating up on which the earth is thrown, and then water ; .a' ;i t -1 II ootn pass through, the grating ; the cradle is rocked, and, being on an inclined plain, tho water carries off the earth, and the gold is de. posited in the bottom ofthe cradle. So the two things most prized in this world, gold and in fant beauty, are both rocked out of their primi tive slate, one to pamper pride, and the other to pamper the worm. Some forego cradles and bowls as too tame an occupation, and mounted on horses, half wild, dash up the mountain gorges, and over the steep hills, picking the gold from the clefts of the rocks with their bowic knives a much better use to make of these instruments than picking the life out of men's bodies ; for what is a man with lhat ar ticle picked out of him ? A larger party, well mounted, are following up the rhannel of the Sacramento, to discover where this gold, found in its banks, comes from, we take it for granted that no one ever would think of taking a slave to Califor nia or New Mexico, for purposes of profit, though he might be ever so free to do so. Political mountebanks at the North, as well as those of the South, well know that such is the fact. There is no use, there fore; in either quarter, to make declara tions about rights. Wise and consider ate people will not let such matters dis turb the peace of the country. But espe cially the people of North; Caralina did j not send the members of this Legislature I here, to dictate to Congress or the Presi- j dent of the United States. They do not I wish to squander the public money for ; any-such tom foolery. They are willing to leave the matters .which they have en- j trusted to Congress, to be taken care of by that body, and they demand of this legislature to go on and do what they were sent here to execute. However undeniable we might deem the positions contained in these Resolu tions, we protest against the phraseology in which these positions are set forth. There appears to us manifest endeavor on the part Of tha.concocter of these Res olutions, (said to be Mr. Calhoun,) topro claim (in rather a covert form, it is true) the once dangerous but now only absurd doctrine of Nullification. Why talk of the Territories being the property of" the States?' and " the several States," and the injury done to " the States," and the equal matter, to any tribunal constituted of from three to five men. in preference to the joint action of bodies so numerous as the two Houses of Congress.

Ihe wrong complained of, is not an injury to South Carolina, or to any oth er particular State.
