Ycaerdav, in the Senate tie refolu,ion
of Mr.. Breckenridge YVES further diicui'ed.
Medicurs Wells, White, Chapman and
Caltcon, frckc asaina it, MIR. tCal-
hoon is new member from S. Carolina,
and has ever been conGdcred rs demo-
c,a;, tho we have many reaions tor iuP-
roiirg him republican. We have wit
neHed out feldom ipeech more iraught
with reafon, with moderation and found
arguments, than that of Mr.. Calhoon. A.
,i,s clote of his fpeech, after having added
many new arguments to prove the unccn.
ni,utionalisy and inexpediency Of adopting
the refolution, he offered another refolu-
ton, the fubGarcc of which was to have
a committee appointed to fee whether
any and what alterations are neceilary in
the federal judicial iyitem. Mr.. Calhoon
grounded TIE propriety of this relolution
by obiervins that, Tor his own part ne
conceived the direct repeal OF the law
pait latt winter as violation of the con-
iitu,ion. that the iena:e were themfelves
nearly equally divided in their opinions
whether this repeal were net a violation
of the coaf;sution that 1houfands and
thoafands ont of the iena,e, whatever might
be their political ientineAss, were OF the
fame opinion that it appeared TO be the
with of thofe, who favored the repeal ct
tie law of tile lah feflion, to make altera-
,ion, and amendments, and that the reio-
lution he would offer would iubicrve eve
~ pmrofe wifhed by them, ard would
fave the contribution.
MIR. Burr then Informed MIR. Calhoon
at fuch re!oiuticn would not then be IN
order. Mr.. Day ton obviatcd this Difficult
~ by propo6ng an amendment 30 the reio-
luton of Mr.. Breckenridge, by 1riking
out the word repeGl, and iniersing the
words re4i,e and amend. The yeas and
rays were demanded on this amendment,
when there appeared in favor st'he amend

On the main queaion, whether the re-
folution Ghould be agreed to, the yeas and
nays were exactly reverted.
For the prefent we lhall only lay, that
we conceive it TO have been highly homo
rary to Mir. Calhoon to have walhed h'
hands from this murder Of the contribution:
the amendments to til. refolution would
have anfwered every purpofe, .t'ttf"Std to
be qvJ6ed by the advocates ct the reiolu-
ton, yet was it rsjsted. The ecnfisu-
,ion is now a mere old woman's fcry
its evaneicent authority will foon be for-
gotten.
A bill mua be brought in to repeal the
law of the laa feaion, which will probably
saderso ma:b debate in the Senate, and
more in the houie, the expente of which to
rhe u. States will probably be three times
