elded action in the premises South Carolina has taken her course, and through her prop CT officers, called upon Us for an expression oi opinion, and if favorable 10 the cause pur- sued by her, our cooperation in resisting all unjust encroaehments. We, Ia majority ol us, at least are thoroughly impressed with the conviction that South Carolina acted as as she should have done, under the eircum- stances.
 Tel, Ii VIC adopt the preamble and reso- lutons, emanating from the committee on the Judiciary, we will be endorsing the po- sition assumed by Massachusetts, as plainly and explicitly as language can make it. She contends for the right to send into our terri tory agents for the purpose of testing the constltntionality of our internal policy, our strictly police regulations. This right on the other hand is denied and this is the question. And we come in, In the third res- oluton therein contained, and that too ill connection with this question, and give t as oGr opinion that all Legislative enactments should be freely submitted to constitutional scrutiny; or in other words that South Car olina should permit Massachusetts to inter- iere in her police regulations, and ill fact grant 10 her every thing which she at Mis time demands. To this resolution can nev- CT grant my support. am unwilling to be placed side by side with Massachusetts i'll this struggle for the overthrow of Southern right and Southern institutions; for that this IS movement of the Abolitionists, have not solitary doubt, and had sooner see every ono. of them immHred in dungeon, or suspended from the gallows, than yield one of our rights which would tend to weaken or endanger the strength or perpetuity of our Southern institutions.
 Each State has her own rights and priyi- leges, and among these is the right of pass ing any laws which she may deem essential to her welfare; and if citizen from any other State thinks proper to settle amongst us, he is entitled to all the rights and immu- mites flowing from the same, and is subject to all the restrictions incident to our own citizens; and the moment he becomes cit- izen of our State his right 10 claim and the right of the State from whence he came to exercise any control over him at once cea- ses.
 Il Is from these considerations have been prompted to offer the substitute now before the House, for its consideration. look up- on this as question, whether we are on the side of usurpaton and abolition, as conten- ded for by Massachusetts, or friend to Southern right and stern justice. As admins tered Tn this instance, need not ask where will Arkansas be found l am in hopes that this substitute may be adopted, and that Ar kansas may be saved from the gross misrep- resentation of her true sentiments by the passage of resolutions which she, as a State, cannot endorse

become insane from intemparance; the

hang an argument in favor Of temper

her vast resources inactive, under the
suicidal policy of the Legislature
But the time has arrived, when the peo-
pie ofthe West will endure these grie-
yances no longer. They demand re-
dress, and they acilI haze 1t, and that
before long; and the sooner it is gran
ted the better will 1t be. Almost half a
century of endurance Of these evils has
tested the patience and loyalty of the
people in the West; but they are now
reused 10 a sense Of their situation,
and il is not to be expected that they,
smarting under conscious wrong and
neglect, will relax in their efforts until
they shall have accomplished their pur-
pose. Public meetings have been held
in almost every county west of the
Blue Ridge, upon this subject, and re-
solutions adopted expressive OF the SEN
tments OF the people; and we oelleve
the Western delegation in the next Le-
gisIature vii. present an unbroken
front in favor of a Convention and
we believe, further, that with the assis-
lance of few Eastern members, the
measure will be carried. We hope So,
at least. Then will this proud odd
Dominion'-this mother of States and
of Presidents-this land of Johnny
cakes and herrings'-rise to that posi-
ton amongst the stars that shine in our
glorious constellation, to which she is
entitled by her age and her situation.
