JJ'We learn from Raleigh that the -'Appro-pfialion
bill" has passed the Senate by a majori
ty of seven votes. With the exception of a few
"cut and thrusts" on the South Carolina docu
ments, there lias been but little sparring among
the members so far. In the House of Commons,
after the Clerk had finished reading the docu
ments Mr. Sawyer rose and opposed the propo
sition of Mr. Mangum to refer the documents to
a joint committee the proposition was sustained
by Messrs. Potts and liragg with some warmth
it was finally concurred in. The Senate met
the views of the House, and the message and do
cuments were accordingly referred.
QpUnion meetings have recently been held
in several counties in this State, at which Nulli
fication has been denounced in no measured
terms. We will insert in our next paper the
proceedings of one of those meetings, held on the
16th ult. at Stantonsburg, by the citizens of
Edgecombe, Greene and Wayne, in that vicini
ty, which have lately been published intheNew
bern Sentinel. A great Union meeting was held
at Newbern, on the 8th inst. at which Mr. Gas
ton, it is said, made one of his most eloquent
and impressive speeches.

iVr. Howard: Will you perrrit an old and
sjucere friend of the President, a friend to the
Union, and one who in politics hasnever recogni
zed any other doctrine than what he conceived
strictly republican to call the attention of my
fellow citizens to the present alaming state of
things'. It is not my purpose toattempt a de
fence of South Carolina, nor do I design an argu
ment on the awful question which low presents
itself for our decision; but is it not time for us,
claiming the name of State Rights' nen, who do
not wish to see our birth-right bartered for a
"mess of pottage," to awake to a sene of our cri
tical situation, and. examine with thesame scruti
ny, the alarming doclrines emanatirg from the
Capitol, that we do those which com; from a sis
ter Slate? Great God! if the Presdenfs doc
trine be sustained, how puny the arn of a sove
reign people! on what a broken reed ve lean!!

hope for a satisfactory adjustmeit of the
vexed question and that it was lelieved

pressed themselves favorable to agradu
al reduction of the Tariff to the fcvenue
point. We ought to act, howevc inde
pendent of such speculations or rimors;
and to call upon Congress immediately
in the strongest manner, for remif and
for justice. Such a call at such . time
cannot fail to Imve the most favrable
effect."
