Resolution OF Mr.. CALHoUN.-In February,
1s47, (says the Georgia Chronicle and Sentinel0
Mr.. Calhoun introduced into the Senate series Of
resolutions, the third of which we subjoin. This
resolution, at the time it was submitted and dis
cussed by its distinguished author, designed to
check the power claimed for Congress to legslate
the subject Of slavery in the Territories, and it
was regarded by all parties at the South as main
tanning sound conservative constitutional princi-
pies. spirit has, however, come over the dream
Of most of the followers of the Caronian, and
those who were most vociferous in their praise
now loudest in their denunciaon Of the principles
set forth in this resolution. We ask the reader to
scan this resolution closely, and see if he per-
ceive how the admission Of California by Congress
has violated the fundamental principle proclaimed
by Mr.. Calhoun:
SC Resolved That ii is a fundamental principle in poll
ca creed that people, in forming Constitution have the
unconditional right form and adopt the government which
they may think best calculated to their liberty, pros
pery, and happiness and that, in conformity thereto
other condition imposed by the Federal Constitution
State in order to be admitted into the Union, except that its
Constitution shall be republican and that the imposition Of
any other by Congress would only be in violation of the
Constitution, but in direct conflict with the principle on which
political system rests"
