Mr. Sawyer's Resolutions. Th
Raleigh Star of the 23d ult. gives the
lollovviug outlines of the debate in
the House of Commons on this sub
ject:
A great portion of the sitting
of the House on rJonday was
occupied in committee of the
whole, Mr. Gary in the Chair,
in discussing the merits of the
resolutions heretofore introdu
ced by iMr. Sawyer, declaring
"that all duties imposed by
Congress on imports,, not for
revenue, but to control the in
dustry of the country, are un
constitutional," and particularly
on the unconstitutionality of the
Tariifaots of 1824 '28. The
resolutions having been read,
Mr. J. A. Hill moved to strike
out the whole, except the word
"resolved' and supported his
motion by a speech of some
length, in which he expressed
his regret that the resolutions
had been introduced; because,
whatever might be the ultimate
vote given upon them, it would
produce false impressions a
broad of the stale of public
feeling here; and bethought it
our duty to staud aloof from,
and give no countenance what
ever to the excitement which
prevails on this subject, in
some sections of the country.
He thought the laws alluded to
were unwise and impolitic, and
on that opinion, be presumed
there was no division amongst
us. Jiut he contended that the
General Government, by the
Constitution, lias the power to
impose a tax for the encourage
ment ot manufactures; and that
therefore these laws were not
infractions of that instrument.
Mr. H. proceeded in a very a
ble and ingenious argument to
defend this position.
lie was replied to by Mr.
Sawyer, the introducer of the
resolutions, in an eloquent and
forcible speech. Mr. S. ad
mitted that the riht to impose
duties for the purposes of rev
enue, was given to Congress by
the Constitution; but denied
that the power to levy a tax for
the protection of Manufactures
was granted, and conceived
that the spirit and meaning of
the Constitution were more es
pecially violated when that
power was exercised to the
manifest injury of other branch
dies of industry. 13v the une
qual and partial operations of
the TarilTofl824-,28, the inter
ests of one-sixth of the citizens
of the country were fostered
and enhanced to the great pre
judice of the remaining Jive
sixths. While those acts con
fer peculiar advantages on
manufactures, they spread ruin
and distress, over commerce
and agriculture. Any meas
ure which thus sought to set up
one class of our people and put
down others any system of
avoriiisin alid exclusive bene
fits, was contrary to the.gcni-
us of our pure republican insti
tutions. That Conp-ress has
no more power to encourag
n i I
manufactures uy laying an e-
normous impost duty and thus
deluding the people, than it has
to protect them by bounties or
direct taxation. That the gov
ernment cannot draw from the
pockets of the people more mo-
ney than was necessary for the
Vol. riixo -io.
support of government, and that'
every cent beyond this was so
much tyranny and oppression.
The doctrine he here advan
ced, was that which had been
always taught by the republi
cans of the country, and he re
ceived it as the orthodox doc
trine of our political creed.
He described, in glowing col
ours, the painful issue that had
been made up and was now
pending between the good peo
ple of these United States, and
declared that it was his most
solemn conviction that, unless
the Federal Government ceas
ed their usurpations upon the
rights, sovereignty and liber
ties of the Stales unless a
true reading of the Constitu
tion was again resorted to, the
oldest man then present might
live to sec, and the youngest
would live to see, a dissolution
a final dissolution of these
republics! He therefore thought
it the solemn duty of the Legis
lature of North Carolina to pro
test against the usurpations of
the General Government,
which, if not cheeked, would
lead to the severance of this Un
ion. After Mr. S. had concluded
his remarks, the committee
rose, reported progress and ob
tained leave to sit again.
- Another fatal Accident at
the Mints. A young man, by
the name of Charles Lauret,
nephew of Mr. Charles Jugnot,
who is concerned in the mines
in -this vicinity, unfortunately
met his death in a distressing
manner on Tuesday last, about
seven miles from Charlotte. It
appears that the young man
was at the bottom of one of
the pits, and a negro at the top,
in charge of the windlass, when,
in the act of letting down an
empty tub, by some fatal care
lessness it became detached
from the rope, and descended a
distance of about 80 feet, which
struck the unfortunate deceas
ed on the head, and broke and
bruised it in a shocking man
ner. He lived about 14 hours
after receiving the injury, du-
mg which time the operation
of trepnning was performed,
but it was ot no avail. The
deceased was about 18 years
ot age, and a native ol Trance,
but for the last six years hag
been a resident in this country.
He was a much respected and
promising voting gentleman.
and bid fair to become a useful
member of society; but in an
instant, without a moments
warning, he is cut down in the
flower of his youth, and conr
signed to an early grave.

Senate, ihe vote was, for Con

of two thirds of both Houses to
call a Convention, the bill was
of course rejected.
