Government relative 10 Inc American colony Of

Mr.. HOLMES, of S. c., submitted resolution
declaring, in substance, that the South had a
right 10 enjoy their property, and that petitions
and memorials about it were great outrage up
on this right, and against the Constitution.
| Mr.. THOMPSON, of Miss, moved an amend
ment "against the spirit of the Constitution"
| which was adopted.
| Mr.. H. moved the previous question, which
was seconded, ayes SO, noes 81.
| A motion to lay this resolution on the table
was rejected by vote of 103 to 63.
The vote on the previous question was then
reconsidered--96 to ST.
| Mr.. HOLMES desired here to offer substi-
tute proposed by Mr.. Belser, but it was not in
order.
Great confusion ensued, and Mr.. ADAMS was
on the alert TO see that the petitioners party"
had fair play.
Mr. CAMPBELL. Of S. c., then offered lit
being in order for him) the resolutions in MIR
Belser's possession. a...,t
These resolutions are the same, if we re-
member, that were adopted by the Baltimore
Locofoco Convention in $780,. m
The first branch Of the first resolution, "that
justice and sound policy forbid the Federal Gov
eminent to foster one branch of industry to the
detriment Of another, or TO cherish the interests
- oHS POAtiOu, ~ tuC INJURY " uuOtACi VI wi
common country" was agreed 10 by LAG TO A;
the four in the negative being Messrs. Adams,
| Grinnell, Severance, and Winthrop.
The second branch, that every citizen, and
every section Of the country, has right to de-
nland and insist upon an equality of rights and
privileges, and to complete and ample protec-
ZION of persons and property from domestic vio-
lence or foreign aggression" was carried mem.
| con. s4t
The second resolution was also divided into
| two branches l @ta
On the first branch, as follows: "That Con-
gress has no power under the Constitution, to
Interfere with, or control the domestic institutions
| of the several States and that such States are
the sole and proper judges Of everything apper-
tanning to their own affairs, not prohibited by
the Constitution" the vote stood, yeas, ISL
noes, 3.
| On the second, as follows: That all efforts of
the Abolitonists, or others, made to induce Con-
gress to interfere with questions of slavery to
take incipent steps in relation thereto, are cal
culated to lead to the most alarming and dam
gerous consequences, and that all such efforts
have an inevitable tendency to diminish the hap
piness Of the people, and endanger the stability
and permanency Of the Union, and ought not to
be countenanced by any friend TO our political
Institutions" the vote stood, yeas, 1873 noes, %.

ARRESTED ON A CHARGE OF STEAL

ARRESTED ON A CHARGE OF STEAL
[NG.--Mr. X. w. Pooler, jr., one Of Mr.. Mays
seconds in the late duel near Georgetown, with
the unfortunate young Cochrane, was arrested
this morning, at Barnum's Hotel where he had
been sojourning for some days, by officers Hays,
Eel, and Ridgely, charged, on the oath of Mr.
John S. Lutz, who is also boarding at Barnum's,
with stealing from him the sum Of 5000. The
prisoner was conveyed to the Office Of Walton
Gray, Esq, in Mercer street, and, after an inves-
tigation--Mr. z. Barnnm, Mr.. Lutz, and Patrick
Quinn, appearing as witnesses-was sent to Jail
to await trial before the Baltimore City Court,
which is now in session. The witnesses, we
understand, have already gone before the grand
jury The money, on search being made is said
70 have been found in the prisoners drawers.
We forbear stating further particulars at present.
The same unfortunate young man mentioned
above, got into dfficuty last night with gen.
tleman of this city, and inflicted upon hin, se-
we're blow on the head with cane, or some other
heavy instrument, producing cut Of some two
or three inches in length, and deep enough almost
to lay finger in. For this offence, he was taken
to the watch-house, but was subsequently releas-
ed on security.-Bat. Pal. Of last evening.

LATER FROM BUENOS AYRES.

The barque Mexican, arrived at New York,
brings adyices from Buenos Ayres to the 23d OIL
December. Montevdeo still held out against the
besieging forces. According to the Buenos Ayres
papers, two smart skirmishes have recently taken
place outside of the city, in which the loss Of the
besieged was "very considerable" Desertions
from The town were said to be numerous, and
among others who had gone over to the besieg-
ers was the Accountant General of the Custom
House, Don Ramon de Acha
The same paper accuses the British Commo.
dore Purvis OF "using every endeavor in order
to counteract the effects of the blockade not only
by allowing the fishing boats the privileges Of the
British flag, but also by abusing The kindness of
Ex-Presdent Oribe in permitting the British
men-of-war to receive supplies of fresh beef"
Colonial cattle thus shipped have actually been
sold in the Montevideo market. The Montevid-
can Government was in great want of money,
and had called upon citizens for voluntary dona-
tons of jewels and plate. e.4
Nothing positive respecting the position of Ri
vera president of the Oriental Republic) is
known, but it is believed he was maneuvering
with the design of recrossing to this side of the
Rio Negro. From the Uruguay we learn that
Riverista detachment of 400 men, commanded by
one Santander, which had attacked the town of
Salta, had been surprised and cut to pieces by
Col. Piriz The Rverstas lost upwards of 100
men killed, and 60 prisoners.
