In the Senate of South Carolina, on the Sd
in. Mr. Quattlebun offered the following re-
oslutions:
"Wkereas, The recent Innovations by the
Federal Government, upon the rights of South
admonish Us that the time has usually arrived
when South Carolina should begin TO set her
house in order, not to die, but to live;' and
whereas it may become the true policy of the
State to establish line of war steamers for
her coast defense, as well as to increase her
military stores and munitions of war;
"Bs 1t therefore resolved, That it be referred
to the committee on Finance and Banks, to in
quire and report to the Senate the extent OF
aid which the Bank of the State may be able
to render the State, if it should be deemed
necessary to carry out the foregoing sugges-
tions.
"The preamble and resolutions were agreed
to. and the committee was instructed accord
ingly.
In the same body, Mr. Adams offered the

From YUcATAN.-The Boston Traveller in
giving some news from Ssal, where every
thing was quiet says:
'An American gentleman, who has lately
been travelling in Yucatan, says that the in
habitants are good deal surprised to find in
American papers, accounts of Indian battles
of which they are in perfect ignorance them
selves. These stories are told by Indians who
go down to the English ports of Balize and
Houdurus, to buy powder, and are not emit
tied to any credence. Yucatan may now be
termed one of the most quiet provinces of
Mexico, which, to be sure, is not saying great
deal'

We have already seen indications of slight
opposition Ito the Presidents late Message to
Congress) in various quarters, but we say in
all honest sincerity that the passages objected
10 are amongthose best entitled to the appro-
baton of the whole country. With these
slight and very small exceptions, the message
lis received in all quarters, and among men of
every shade of party bias, with favor rarely
accorded to document of the kind. The
President really seems to have disarmed op-
posers of both extremes, and thus far at least
we see but little encomium. The friends of
law and order and good government will of
course be gratifed by its strong conservative
spirit, and the determination it proclaims to
see all law executed in every part of the un-
ion, and at all hazards; while ever those who
may entertain different views and different
feelings will find nothing in it to complain of
for all classes are treated with quite as much
kindness as they could ask for, and quite as
much courtesy as some of them deserve. In
deed, all we have to ask is that the general
voice of commendation may not include the
nullitiers and dsunionists of the North and
the South. That Mey will dislike it we doubt
not, and we have quite as little doubt that
their dislike will furnish one of the best proofs
Of its patriotism and its ability.

OUT OF.-The words, out of, are the worst
in the language, when one is out of patience
and out of money; when his wife says she is
out of sugar one day; out of coffee the next; !;
out of -four the next; and finally out of spirits.
The words are very good when one is out of
debt, out of trouble and out of Jail. If a man
has smoky house and scolding wife, out of
doors is no bad place.
