SIR,
= The Legislature of South Carolina. tlceplv
Impressed with the situation III which the United
States have been placed, by the unioun,ied and
arrogant pretensions OF the beiligercnt power Of
Europe and aware of the force derived, in
government like ours, from public opinion, have
thoughtit right, at such crisis, 10 make known
TO the world their Cnslterable determination to
support the rights. and honor of our country and
to declare their entire appreciation of the pyu-
dent and dignihed course pursued by It's uC;iui-
-nistration. To this manifestation of their own
feelings, they have been vet further Induced bv
Hhe expression in other parts of the union, ofcon-
'traty sentiments, at 4 moment when IL is con-
ceiTed, That sacrifice ofthe conflicting opinions
OF individuals and the anirnoS;tes o. party, w:,s
demanded alike, by sound policy and by patrios
ism.
The Resolutions have now the honor TO trans
mt YOU, obtaned, You will perceive, the uNANI-
NOUS concurrence of both branches of cur legis-
iature. a conclusion from hence, however, ei-
ther that there existed among us perfect t.n mi
nily OF political sentiment, or that the present
restrictions upon our commerce were but little
ielt byus, would be equally erroneuus-Soutll-
Carolina, ike her sister states, is, to certain
extent, characterized by parties The Legisia
ture, which adopted these Resolutions, consisted
Ito use the distinguished aPpellaons of the day,
OF Federajists and Republic ans.--But, sir, how
ever we may differ as to questions of ordinary,
policy, we should deprecate as disgrace ful to us
the idea OF division where the national honor. or
interests were concerned. Of the effects a,ten-
ui,un a, suspension
oil trade, many circumstances combine to rem
der this state far from insensible But, if the in
conveniencies or privations resulting to our cid
zens from the Embargo be great, their patriotism
and public spirit are still greater; and an, per-
suaded that those who compose our Legislature.
have been the faithful organs of their constitu

Yesterday, the house Of Delegates, agreed
IS appropriate 5o,oooS for the manufacture
ing OF arms, including officers salaries-And
iS,oooS for the foundery ofcannon and bor-
ing mill
Mr.. A, S. Hooe (King-Gcorge) offered
the following resolution which he said he
should net have revived but for a publication
which he had that day seen in the news-Da-
per.
At an important crisis like the present,
when we are threatened with war by the rival
powers of Europe, it is ofthe highest inpor-
lance that We should have at the head of our
army, man OF the most unblem1shed reputa-
ton, who instead ofexciting doubts should in
splre conildence--the present commander is
not that man. He has been suspected and
with too much cause of being engaged in
treason at home, and treachey abroad.
Resotved therefore, That it is the opinion
of the general assembly Of Virginia, that brig.
gen James Wilkinson has not the confidence
ofthe people of this commonwealth S, ought
not to be retained in the command of the army
Of the u. S.
Mr.. Walker moved, that the further consi-
deration of this resolution, be postponed till
the 5lst of March.
Mr. Strother offered the following resoluti-
on in place of the motion tor postponement
Reeelped, That at this time it is nnexpedi-
ent to act on the resolution relative to gen.
James Wilkins on.
Mr.. Walker moved to amend Mr. SIS re-
solution by adding the words I" and that there
fore the further consideration be put off until
the slst of marchnext."
Mr. Smyth tWythe) moved to amend the
last resolution, by striking out the words " at
this time, The ayes and nays being called
twas determined in the affirmative, ayes II,
nays 65.
Mr. Walker proposed to amend the reso-
luton, by adding the words Gas an enquiry has
been instituted into the conduct of gen ]. W."
Lost
Mr. Murdaugh moved to amend it by add
ing after the word " inexpedient" the words
not having the evidence before u.s.
After some desultory debate MIR. Wooding
proposed to lay the resolution with theIpro-
posed amendments ahon the table Carried.

ating themselves. These enigrants go nci-
