.anti-7ar!g Resoivtions.-The Senate yesterday
ally disposed of this subject, by adopting the Pre-
amble and Resolutions rs they came from the House
by what vote, may be seen under the Legislative
bead.
Mr.. Cabell, on the scope and tendency OF these
Resolutions, was exceedingly forcibe and telcitous.
While he seemed to think that simple propositions,
they contained nothing which the State had Il OF be-
fore subscribed, he derived powerful argument
against their adoption from the time and The crcum-
stances, under which they have been forced upoI the
consideration of Virginia. EInanatng from South
carolina, whose seditous proceedings during the
past summer attracted to her the observation Of the
Ahnle world and who in passing similar Resolutions
declared that if disregarded her Interior measures
WOULD look to "expedeDcy" and not to saegiance''
70 the Union-Mr. Cabe expressed tile just appre-
heIsfon, that Virginias now passing these resolu-
tons; would be construed pledgirg her to South
Carolina, i'll her threatened Interior course of "ex-
Pediency." On the readiness of Virginia to embark
in this headlong courses and to deach herself from the
Union Mr.. C. expressed his utter disbeief-an inf
deity in which we heartily unite with him; for
from a general acquaintance with those members Of
Assembly who have passed these Resolutions, we
assert two things without the fear of contradiction:
First, that the of the General Assembly has
very reluctantly consented to act at al, upon this
Subject and Cd, That not one (as far as we know or
bceve) of those who, in either branch of the Lepis
Ature, have voted for these resolutions have the most
remote idea Of pedgng Virginia to follow in the wake
Of S. Carolina, to place her in envy attitude which
IS to involve disunion. We make these assertions
igith great deal of confidence, and we desire the
Unto at Columbia to mark then-Virginia is voting
N these matters absracty, and has no idea whatever
ofdissovng the Union hching hersefto the car Of
DIR. Cooper. So far from It, the people of this state
are unquestionahy, at this very moment more recon-
tled to the tariff policy than they have ever bcen-
Iet these ASSERTIONS be particularly noticed and re-
tnembered.
In our hasty sketch of the proceedings in the Sc
nate, we omitted to state, that when the resolution
declaring the nexpedency OF the tariff propoun-
died. Mr. Cabel declared himselfopposed the details
that of1828 which he said wholly agreeable to
no party lass the community; but the result Of
struggle between the Adams and jackson narties
Who sought by it's provisions, to advance their re-
spcctive parties. But while he was opposed to the
details ofthe tariff of 1925, he was decidedly friend
70 the protective policy.
