Important Move of the South Carolina
DELEGATION.

A bulletin at the Times Office gives the fol.
lowing account of an important move yester-
day, in Congress, of Mr.. Calhoun, of the Sen
ate, and Mr. Holmes, one of the South Caro-
lima Delegation, in relation to Mexican affairs
In the Senate, Mr.. Calhoun offered a reso-
luton against occupying or annexing any
Mexican territory, such an act being, in his
view, contrary to the declared objects of the
war, and subversive of American liberties.
In the House, Mr.. Holiness of South Caro-
lima, asked leave to offer resolution to aban-
don all of Mexico beyond the Rio Grande, on
condition that egress and ingress from and to
California and New Mexico be granted to
Americans, and that reciprocal commercial
privileges be allowed.-Boston Traveller, 18Th.
