of this State, and if practicable, to provide
for abolition of distinct forms Of actions at
law now in use, and the administration of
justice in a uniform mode of pleading, with
out reference to any distinction between
law and equity, said commissioners from
time to time, when required, to report their
proceedings to the Legislature.
The Convention resumed the order of
the day, being the reports and resolutions
of the majority and minority of the Com
miltee on Credentials, and the resolution
proposed yesterday by Mr.. Donaldson to
take the place of the resolution Of the ma
jority.
Mr.. Spencer continued and concluded his
argument, commenced yesterday, in reply
to Mr.. Chambers of Kent.
The debate was continued by Mr.. Bucha-
nan in support Of the views of the ma ajori,y,
and by Mr.. Bren, of Baltimore, in support of
those of the minority, when,
On motion Of Mr.. Brown, the previous
question was ordered.
The amendment proposed by Mr.. Don
aldson to take the place Of the maj ori,y re-
solution, was agreed to-yeas So, nays not
counted.
The question was then taken on the reso-
luton OF Mr.. Brent of Baltimore, appended TO
The minority report, and it was rejected
yeas Messrs. Thawley, Brent Of Baltimore,
and Sherwood Of Baltimore, 3-nays "A.
The resolution Of the majority of the
committee, as amended by the resolution
of Mr.. Donaldson, was then adopred-yeas
72, nays Messrs. Rtdgelv, Dickinson, Sher-
wood of Talbot, Thawley, Shriver, Brent Of
Baltimore, and Sherwood Of BaI,more-7
The Convention adjourned.
Dec. 6, 1850.
Mr.. Ridgely offered the following: Or
dered, ,ha. it be entered upon the journal,
that Messrs. Ride~ly, Shriver Dickinson,
and Sherw God of Talbot, voted against the
resolution adopted yesterday, as substitute
for The resolution accompanying the MAORI
ty repor. Of the committee on qualifications
of members, not because they dissented from
the opinion embraced in said resolution,
but because they did not concur in the rea-
,soning Of The majority commi'ee-,hev en-
Itertaining the opinion tha, all civil officers
are entitled to seats in virtue of the act Of
The people i'll the vote of May, 1850.
Alter debate, ilr. Merrlck suggested that
if the privilege be granted, other gentlemen
might desire to explain, and moved that the
order be not receved-which was assented
to by vote of "A ayes, 33 nays.
On motion of Mr.. Phelps, an order pre-
vously offered by him, directing inquiry
into the propriety Of providing for biennial
sessions of the Legislature, were taken up
and adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Freshman, an order
previously offered by him, directing COM
mi,tees to repor, propositions for a new
Constitution without giving in detail their
reasons in reports, was taken up; and he
assigned, among other reasons, his opposi-
lion TO allowing committees to have pub
Iished their views, as the Convention had
refused to cause the arguments Of all TO be
given.
Messrs. Eye, Gwinn, and Merrick made
some remarks when
The Convention adjourned.

sincere pleasure, particularly after the un-
pleasant accounts which were received from
Columbia on Wednesday morning.
1t is hoped, therefore, that South Carolina
will not rush into any ultra measures.
In fact, we understand that the resolution
for Withdrawing her Senators from Congress
will not pass; that South Carolina will at
this time make no movement alone; that she
will not cut herself loose either from her
relations with the Federal Government or
with her sister States, but that she will a.
bide the action Of tho present session of
Congress, and also the decision of the State
Convention which she will probably call
for herself
We confess that we are pleased with the
prospect which these reports exhibit, and
with the hope that if she acts at all, it will
be in concert with her sister States.
If these sPeculalions be correct, we hope
soon to see the other Senator from South
Carolina soon appearing in his seat in place
Of Mr.. Barnwell who will probably decline
an election.
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser., 1850-12-11

SOUTH CAROLINA "A variety Of disor-
ganizing resolutions have been offered in
the Legislature of the State Of South Caro-
lima. Some of them are thus epiomized by
a contemporary
People; second, for intercourse with
those States which have laws affecting the
the right of re-capture of slaves; third, de-
clering it the tight and duty of the slave
States to recede from the Union; fourth, de-
cIining to fill the vacancy IN the Senate oc-
casioned by the death Of Mr.. CALHOUN
fifth, declaring it degrading TO the Southern
States to hold further intercourse with the
North, and requesting Senator BUTLER and
the congressman from that State not to take
their seats until further instructed; sixth,
for receiving the States portion of the land
money under The act Of IS4l to be applied
to strengthening the military deiences
seventh, instructing the Governor to inquire
into the purpose for which additional troops
have been ordered to Charleston"
These resolution were all laid on The ia
bic for further consideration, except the las
named, which was adopted.
The above we clip from the Na,i onal In
,elligencer We are pleased, however, to
learn from the Union of Friday last that
Judge Butler, one Of the Senators Of The
United States from South Carolina, appeared
in his seat on Thursday.
All the Representatives Of the State are
now in their seats, with the exception OF
two members.
We hail their return 10 Washington with
