Leoislatllye-Debote ON Slavery.

The House of Delegates had an interesting ses-
sion Saturday, the subject under consideration be-
ing the all-absorbing one of slavery.
Early in the morning, a communication was re-
ceived from the Governor, covering the offensive
resolutions of the State of Vermont, which have
for some days been under debate in the Senate of
the United States. A resolution, offered by Mr.
Syme, was promptly adopted by a unanimous vote,
directing the resolutions to be sent back to the
Governor of Vermont.
Then, Mr.. Burwell offered resolution for nom
intercourse with Vermont or any other Northern
State which might address to Virginia language
of menace or reproach on the subject Of slavery.
The proposition was referred to the special COM
mittee on the Wimot Proviso and kindred sub
jects.
Mr. Claiborne, the chairman of that commit
tee, then presented its report on SO much OF
the Governors Message as it had been charged
to consider. The report, first, reaffirmed the
resolutions of 1S47-S and 1889, and, second
ly, approved the plan of Southern Conven-
tion at Nashville, and recommended the appoint
ment of nineteen delegates to attend it from Vir-
gina, 1Our 10 De appointed NY tle AeS'iatue, aiu
fifteen by the Congressional districts
Mr. Ferguson moved to lay the report on the
table and order it to be printed On this motion
a long debate ensued, of which we shall endea-
YOUR to give sketch hereafter. The question
discussed was whether it was eXpedent to take
time for deliberation to the propriety of South
ern Convention. Messrs. Mayo, Shepard, Conway
and Haryie advocated an immediate vote; and
Messrs. Stovall, Ferguson, TONNES, Worthing-
ton, Perrow, Panni, Segar and Shelley, spoke
in favour of postponement. Mr.. Stovall signl-
fed very distinctly his opposition to the Southern
Convention. Mr.. Worthington declared his ad-
herence TO the views which led him to oppose the
resolutions of last winter Mr.. Shelley earnestly
asked time 10 consult his constituents, and said
that although the resolutions formerly passed at
tirmed some principles to which he did not assent
vet whenever the contingencies to which they
looked Qhe preparation of Northern aggression
in any of its forms) should arise, he and the peo
pie of Augusta would sustain the course of re-
sistance which they proclaimed for Virginia.
Finally, the House determined by large ma
jority to make the report OF the committee the or
der of the day on Thursday week next.

COLUMBIA December 10, lS49
AT an adjourned meeting of the members of both
branches OF the Legislature OF South Carolina held in
the chamber of the House OF Representatives on the
night Of the 10th December, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted
l. Resolred, That we regard with feelings of lively
satisfaction the late movement in Mississippi in defence
OF the rights and interests of the South and hail with
Joy the first step towards that firm united and con-
certed action among the Southern States which sense
OF their common danger imperlousy demands.
= ReS0loed, That the recommendation OF the State
OF Mississippi OF Southern Convention, to be held at
Nashville Tennessee on the first Monday in June next,
should be cordially embraced by the whole South that
by common counsels we may avert the common calam-
ties impending us through the action OF the General
Government, driven by the lust OF power and the fell
spirit of tanaticism.
3. ReSoped, That for the purpose of carrying the
recommendations Of the people OF Mississippi it is expe-
dent that, in legislative caucus, should nominate
four delegates represent the State large the Cons
yention proposed to be held at Nashville.
4. Res0Ued That, still further to carry out the re-
Communications OF the people OF Mississippi, we re-
specttuly recommend to the people OF the State
together on the first Monday in April next in the
rious parishes and districts Of the State to nominate as
many delegates they have members Of the Legisla
ture to meet the first Monday in May succeeding at
some central and convenient point in their respective
Congressional districts, then and there to nominate
delegates represent such Congressional district in the
State IN the proposed Convention
o. Resotoed, That entertaining sincere desire CO.
operate with sister States OF the South any move
ment which they may deem necessary for the common
good, and having entire confidence in the wisdom in
tegrty, and nness of the Southern people when as
sembled IN said Convention, feel and express an u
doubling confidence that the people of the State of
South Carolina will yield a faithful and unhnching sup
port to any measure which said Convention may recon-
mend.

Thus far Prot. Webster has borne his confinement
and solictude with most singular frmness to all ap-
pearance coupled it is with dreadful crime very
little effect has been made visible upon his body or mind
His family counsel, and friends have visited him daily
and these visits haven instances been prolonged
to hours On New Years day his wife and daughter
spent most of the forenoon in his CELL devoting the time
to reading and conversation. Mrs. Parkman, the un-
happy eonsort OF the deceased, has also visited Mrs
Webster in Cambridge twice, mutually offering to each
other consolation, under the severe Affections which
Providence has cast upon them.
We have also heard it stated from the highest and
best authority, that OF the friends of Dr. Parkman
waver in their belief, to the remains found in Dr.
Websters closet being those of Dr. Parkman yielding
to the conviction OF other circumstances strong in their
NATURE that the unfortunate man. while abourng under
an alteration OF mind wandered away and came to his
death in manner to them unknown. This beliefs
based upon past events in the life of Dr. p it being
known that while those fits of mental alteration over
him. he had been absent for days. no one knew
where and that in some instances his friends had exri
Gated him from serious perils.

der Mrs Parkman despatcheda letter to her SON who
has been for some time in Europe informing him that
his father had been missing for more than week and
imporng him to return home without delay He is ex-
pected by the next steamer.
