THE ALABAMA RESOLUTIONS.

THE ALABANA RESOLUTIONS.
j The Joint Committee Of the Alabama Lsgislature,
% whom the Govefnos,s Message and the Documents
snsexed were referred Immediately reported the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unanimously adopt
cd by the Senate, the House having adournedto the
9th December last
l. Resolued, That we respond to the commnnica-
tlon to his Exceency the Governor of the State of
Alabama, made BY our Senator and representatives
in the Congress of the United States, under date of
the l4th December, 1849-that are we'll acquaint-
ed with the spirit of the people Of Alabama-and we
assert that il is their fixed purpose submit
they will never submit to any act of the General Gov
ernment of the United States which excludes the
South from fair and just enjoyment of the territory
acquired from Mexico, and which is the property of
the States of the Union that they will never submit
to any act of the Government abolishing slavery h
the District OF Columbia, and that the proyisiono
the constitution in regard to their property shalf
faithfully observed.
Q. Resolued, That we behold with surprise and In
dgnation the failure to organize the House of Rep
resentatives of the Congress of the United States
believe that this failure is not occasioned much
BY division of strength between the two great po-
tical parties in the United States as it is 6y the re-
fusal of the members of Congress representing what
is known as the free soil party to cooperate in or
ganizing the House. unless they can procure from
the presiding officer, whose duty it will be to appoint
the Committees pledge to aid them in their pur-
pose of directing the Legislation of Congress- against
the interest and honor of the slaveholding States
should these conditions be demanded of the Repre-
sentatves of Alabama, we say to them-never organ
ize upon such surrender.
8. Resolued, That in the event of the passage of
any law by Congress, debarrng the Southern States
from just participation in the possession and enjoy
ment of the territories of the United States we call
upon the people of the slaveholdng States to meet
us in convention for the purpose of taking such
ton as our rights may demand.
The preamble and joint resolutions having been
read, Mr.. Winston moved to amend by an additional
resolution, as follows:
Resolved That in the event of the passage by Con-
gress of act contemplated by the foregoing
lutions, the members from this State longef par
ticpate in the action of body regardless of our
constitutional rights.
Which was also adopted.

News FROM DEsERET. A late letter from Frederick
Rohrer, s'great Salt Lake City correspondent of
the St. Joseph (Mo Gazette, contains the following
The only bad road to this place is about 40 miles,
running across the Utah Mountains We could
travel but 10 miles each day. From Fort Kearney to
any in the States, and for 200 miles after leaving
the South Pass, it is as good as any turnpike.
This is beautiful country, and of the finest c-
mates in the word-equal to that of Italy. The city
is laid out in large wards, the houses being about 100
yards apart. Each ward is enclosed with straight
fence and in profuse cultivation, which gives the
city somewhat the appearance of town. The wards
are all irrigated by leading water from the mountains,
in small channels running in every direction. The
grows finely. Wheat is good, if not better, than
ours yielding from 90 to 60 bushels per Barley
and Oats are also cultivated, and yield abundantly
Indeed. all kinds, and every variety Of vegetables
flourish profnsely.
The harvest being over, the Mormons are stacking
their grain-of which they have considerable sur
plus. but owing to the great rush of emgrants thou
high price is asked for it-Wheat $4 per bushel,
-four $l2 per hundred.
We are boarding at private house and are vege-
tating upon the luxuries of the valley, such milk
butter, cheese, green corn peas, beans, turnips &c.
the beef is the best ever tasted.
The water is sweet free stone, cold ice, and the
best ever tasted. Any quantity of it be drank
without injury-which cannot be said of any other
liquid. There several sulphur springs of pure
water, near the city, and warm white sulphur one,
used for bathng,-which would make hydropathist
laugh. The water running from it would turn mill
and is very warm, giving from its surface continual
cloud of vapor. Its medical virtues very great,
curing nearly every kind of disease, such scurvy,
itch, mango, sore eyes, rheumatism, &c. &c.
