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.
