WAsu1SGroN, Jan. 12
After the morning business in the Senate, Cal
houns sixth and last slavery resolution came up for
consideration.
This is the resolution which insists upon the duty
of Congress to obtain Texas by way of supporting
and strcng thening the domestic institution OF
slavery.
Calhoun placed the defence of the resolution upon
the ground that it amounted only to assertion of
equality of rights and advantages among the
members of the Union. From which it followed,
that TO withhold any advantage from the Southern
and Western states, on the ground of their peculiar
GO domestic Institutions, was breach of that equal
iy Of rights
He argued that this proposition totally indie
pendent of the question of tho admission of Texas,
from which question he INTENDED to keep clear upon
the present occasion.
Preston said that 1t was impossible to discuss this
resolution, without the debate overlooking upou the
general question of the admission of Texas. If the
question discussed under this resolution it would
place the friends Of Texas In dsadvantageous
position for though the resolution undoubtedly
sound doctrine, yet it did not put the admission Of
Texas upon The strongest ground. When his own
resolutions upon the sub joCt of Texas up, then
the whole matter might be most advantage dis
cussed.
He concluded with moving to lay the resolution
on the table
Calhoun struggled hard against the motion, and
insisted that Preston ought 10 withdraw it, But
Preston was memorable, and even nsinuaed that
he thought it very unkind in Calhoun TO bring the
Texas question forward in anticipation of his reso-
luton.
The resolution was laid upon the able-Ayes 35,

the vindication OF the people of the Southwest a.
ganst the charges of having violated the rights of
neutrality, and the laws of the United States the
part they had taken in the Texan revolution
He maintained that the greater part of the cit-
zens who went into Texas had gone there as bona
fde emigrants, and in conformity to an invitation
extended to them before the revolution, by Mexico
and after the revolution, by Texas. The case was
totally different from that of the Navy Island insur

states that important despatch has been orwa rded
by Major Mason Of Fort Gibson, to Gen. Gaines of
the Southern Division. The substance Of this cummu

The Cherokee Council House in September next, The
movement is believed 10 be but incipent step TO
further difficulties, and made with a view of enl.s;nq
and uniting all the tribes along the frontier in such
measures as may be adopted.
