Sharon, aged 80, was killed by passing over his

an immense weight into the scales at the impending

"Thanks To ie wisdom md forecast OF our fathers,

misguided rulers, and rely yourselves and on y0ut
God Resort To that principle Of self-protec0n which
he implanted in the breast Of man, and which has
been incorporated into MI The laws and comlacls by
which we have consented 10 he governed"
The resolutions which follow this preamble breathe
n similar spirit. The first O them condemns the tariff
act Of the last session "a deliberate, papable and
dangerous exercise Of power not granted by the Con-
Ettut0n," and concludes thus:
We have n right. and are 10 duty bound, to inter
pose for arresng the operation Of the said act whr
The limits Of South Carolina, and for maintaining
within the the authorities, rights and lberiei
apper,ainng State, and will hencelorth use

operation Of the same within our limits, rs violation
OF our dearest rights"
A second proceeds in the following strain:
Resokved, That while we deprecated resort TO Vi

their purposes, we shall be ready 20 meet any conse
uuences IN preference n base submission To the
ercse of unco nsutonal and arbitrary power"
This preamble and these resolutions (says the Mer
cury) adopted amidst the cheers of the assem-
blage, and without a dissenting vOice. A cOmmitte
was then appointed 10 wait upon Gen. 1ayne aud re
nuest him 10 attend the meeting. That gentleman i'm
mediatey complied with The request, and delivered u
address which concluded with the declaration tina
South Carolina has now no hope left but 10 the pa

We have been thus particular in detailing the pro
ccedines of this meeting in order 20 show the presen
lone and temper Of the nnlliyng I'arty.BOst0H pa.
