although heartily aud entirely opposed TO the
doctrines contended rby the Distinguished gen
ticrlan from South Carolina. we feel so much re-
sDect foe his talents and 50 firm reliance III tne
rrcttude of his intentions, that we gladly AID IN

H,yNE himself reduces the whole train OF rel-

on the constitutional question:

The measure of nominating commission 20 cX-
crcise the functions OF his Majesty. IN sI6scrlb
lng the sign manual. was rendered Imperative,
owing to the great Inconvenience experienced IN
several departments, through the accumulation
OF instruments, the complexion ut which was ur-
gently called for. In many instances, papers
had been waiting for the royal signature for near
two wears. Two public offices had each 5000
documents ready for signature. The whole OF
these would, in the event of the demise Of the
King, have been useless. and considerable en-
pense aud Inconvenience must have been incur
red. A similar measure 10 that now proposed,
was we have heard. Jwo wears ago proposed to
MS Majesty By the Ministers, but the King re-
fused his assent. As proof, however, that the
p Kius must have exerted himself, at some personal
Inconvenience, to alix his signature. the writing

with considerable boldness--the letters Of Rex
were feeble.
An opinion prevails that the death of the Sove-
Tc,gu necessarily brings about an Immediate dis
soiuiou$of the Parliament. The annexed extract
fron Blackstone explains the law, as it now
stands, on the subject - \ parliament may be
ai,,o,yed by the demise Of the crown. This dis

death Of the reigning sovereign; for he heing con
