IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON. The
Journal of Commerce, contains a Mess
AGE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, communicated to Congress on
Wednesday last; transmitting copies OF
the nullifying ORDINANCE OF SOUTH GAR
oL1yA, and other documents. After the
Message had been read in the Senate,
Mr.. Calhoun rose, under deep excitement,
and vehemeutly contested some of the
statements and views contained in the
Message. Mr.. Forsyth said few words
| in reply, when the whole subject was re-
Cerred to the committee on Judiciary, and
three thousand copies of the Message and
documents were ordered to be printed. 1
The fEouse was so entirely absorbed
by the Message as to preclude entirely
all attention to any ether business. An
attempt to postpone the. consideration Of
the Message until Saturday was lost by
vote of lO4 nays TO SO yeas. After a
long debate, the Message and documents
we're referred to the Judiciary Commit
, lee, and $4,000 copies ordered to be
printed.
The Message occupies five closely
priuted columns of the Journal OF Com
: merce, which it is impossible for US to re-
. publish to-day. Our readers, therefore,
must content themselves with brief out
. line, extracted from the National lntell!'
gencer of Thursday The Message II
: written with great ability, and created .
very considerable sensation in bott
Houses.

the revenue impracticable in any quarte

IL to Congress for such aid as they migt
., appear to require. The nessnge the
Nv goes on to say that events which have OF
:. CURED in the quarter then alluded to, {
~ which have come to the knowledge OF III
KS President subsequently to the date Of h
Of Annual Message; do present this eme
ur gency, as made known to him by the Off
,d isl transmission to him Of certain acts
the State Of South Carolina. The Pre-
"a, ident then adverts to his Proclamation
ro- the 10th Of December, explaining b
by views, SC. to his expectation that tn
,lp Proclamation would not have been wit
4. out effect, which reasonable expectati'
"c has not been realized, as appears by q
tu- several acts Of tho Legislature OF q
hat State Of South Carolina, wkich, he say
,ee are calculated, both in their positive e
ar. actmenfs, and 10 the spirit of opposite

It's within the limits of that State.
gy Referring to the Ordinance ofthe CO
bic venton, sc, the President says that

between now and the lst Of February,
'ne day when the Ordinance Is TO take effe
