Mr.. King, from the Committee on the state of the
Republic to whom certain resolutions from the
State of New Jersey referred on the subject of
reputation, submitted the following resolutions
Resolved, that we regard the slightest breach of
plighted faith public or private, as want of that
moral principle upon which all obligations depend.
That when any State of this Union shall refuse to
recognize her great seal as the sufficient evidence
Of her obligation, she will have forfeited her sta.
ton in the ssterhood of States, and will no longer
be worthy of confidence and respect.
Resolved, that his Excellency the Governor be
requested to transmit copies ofthe foregoing resou-
tons to the Governor of each off the United States,
with request that he will cause the same to be
laid before the Legislature thereof. ~

BALM FOR WOUNDED AMBITION.


The Van Burenites have, as they think. Jewed
Mr.. Calhoun out Of the Baltimore nomination, on
the tacit understanding as it is said that their sup
port shall be transferred to him in the succession.
This to him must be miserable consolation-a kind
of hope which is said to make the heart sick
But it is the portion melted out to him by the self
established Regencies who have the dispensaton Of
these favors
With the twofold purpose ofadding strength to
the ticket, and of consoling him for the political
bereavement, they propose to run him for the Vice
Presidency with Van Buren,. 'To this complex
ion we come at last" That man whose burn
ing strength of intellect flashes and kindles by his
own native life whose ambition is like that of Luz
cifer, should fall so low--should be requested to
step so low, as to be foisted upon ticket with a
man whom in his inmost soul he loathes, whom in
his passion he could characterize only by associa-
ting him with the most willy, sly, treacherous and
despicable animas--that the chivalrous Southron
could consent to ride to political defeat in company
with the man of all men whom he despises, is ask
ing of his nature too much. If he be the man
whom we have been taught to believe him to be,
if he have spak of nobility, or of his ancient fire,
he will sooner end his days in growing cotton
quietly at home, and nursing his darling abstrac-
ton, the sovereignty ofSouth Carolina.
