4 ii RT Y-FIRST CONG REsS
IN SENATE.

le bl MONDAY, Jan. I3, 1851. 4.
After the reading of the journal of Friday last,
a large number of petitions were presented by
Messrs. SEWARD, TURNEY, john DAVIS, UNDER
WOOD, WALKER, PEARoE, DoDGE Of Iowa, HoUs-
TON, WINTHROP, UNpERwooD, and others ' e
THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.
Mr.. COOPER presented several petitions from
Pennsylvania, for repeal or modification of the
Fugitive slave law. He, however, was CON
WINGED that the sentiment of the people of Penn
sylvania was sound in behalf of the compro-
misses ct the last session as they stand isos
tt&p THE TARIFF. D a5 ia
Mr.. COOPER also pre- scented several petitions
from the same State, asking modification of
the tariff OF '46, so as to afford little more in
cidental protection to coal and iron. Mr.. COOPER
exhibited the coal aud iron business of Peunsyl-
vania to be in very depressed condition.
Within two years the manufacture OF iron had
been reduced One-half; and the coal trade had
correspondence diminished. The manufacturers
Of coarse cottons had also fallen off lie gave
notice of his intention to introduce bill chang.
ing the mode Of assessing the revenues upon
imports. -h"e
Several bills, ordered on Friday last to an en-
grossment, were read a third time and passed.
LAND WARRANTS.
Mr.. UNDERWOOD moved to take up the
House resolution declaring land warrants under
the act of last session, to be assignabIe, and
urged the prompt consideration of the subject
+ Mr.. WALKER was opposed to the considern-
ton of that question at that time II was
subject not to be disposed Of during the morn
ing hour.
The motion to take up the bill was lost II to
%.
LAND REFORM, Oh FREE NEGROES.
The special order of the day, to wit, Mr.
WALKERS bill, providing for the cession of pub
lie lands to the States in which they lie TO be
by said States distributed in tracts Of 100 acres
to actual settlers, was then taken up. 4
Mr.. FELCH took the floor in opposition to
the bill, from several considerations of public
policy and federated State economy He con
tended that the public lands still yielded rev.
enue to the Government, that they could not be
given away without inhicting heavy expenses
upon the Treasury, nor without disorganzinp
the industrial pursuits and property interests Of
the country at large, without any equivalent
benefit either to the new States or The old
while yet in the midst of his argument, he was
for motion to adjourn,
And the Senate adjourned.

Does the editor OF the Union think the people
of South Carolina would be SO proud to Ike
classed with the rufianly fanatics Of the North,
that they would suffer all their deepest political
convictions to BE- undermined by the insidious

suppose that insults offered to them by public
meetings. would be accepted as atonement for
wrongs and injuries inflicted on them by acts Of

who answered that they had no reply to make
No further communication passed between them
After which the ballotings were commenced
in the House as reported by telegraph. The
response OF the Democratic committee is adrni-
rable in substance and in language, and the f.
deity and frmness with which the party have
acted, will commend them to the appreciation of
their constituents and the confidence of tie
Democratic party Of the whole Union If the
friends of Col Benton are determined to repu.
date the right of instruction--to insist upon
subscribing the personal ambition of one man,
at the hazard of principle and the integrity of
the Democratic party as expressed at the ballot
box-to take their position against the nstitu-
ton of slavery and in favor Of the rotten Adolf
tonsts-to join Benton, Seward and Hale, in
their insane efforts to repeal the Fugitive slave
bill and dissolve the Union--and to abandon the
principles of the national Democratic party, as
embodied in the Baltimore resolutions; they,
and they clone, should be compelled TO incur the
responsibility to which an outraged people and
an honest constituency will certainly hold them
We implore our friends to stand as one man for
the ancient principles Of the party those prin-
cples which have been consented by time en-
deared to us by the patriotism Of Madison, JEFF
ferson and Jackson, and upon which the safety
and honor of the State and the Union depends
We beseech them to keep themselves clear of
all unprncipled combinations, all dirty intrigues,
and all sinuous courses Truth, Justice and
honor are mighty, and must prevail

THE South CAROLINA CONFERENCE OF THE
NJ. E. CHURcH.--This body at its recent meet
ing, on motion Of Dr. Whiteford Smith, adopt
ed an important resolution touching the obnox-
ious section il the Methodist Book of Discipline
on the subject Of slavery. An attempt was made
at the last meeting Of the General Conference
Of the Church South, to carry resolution that
the discipline should be relieved Of this section,
which seems to iucllcate anti-savery as a part
of Christian duty. sfhe motion failed by few
votes, though it was generally, if not unani-
,nously, admitted that the said section was not
OF binding authority. The proceeding was a
weak one, and by no means calculated to advance
the, interests or support the dignity of. the
Church. We arc glad that the South Carolina
Conference has setitself right in the matter, and
trust that the General Conference will not be
very far behind them. The following is the
resolution: ac HHisW
RESOLVED, That inasmuch as the last General
Conference, appended to the 9th sect. I'd part
Of the book Of Discipline, note declaring said
section to be imperative and obsolete; and for
asmnch as many quarterly meeting conferences
in this and other conferences have by published
resolutions declared that the book of discipline
with the said section ought not to be circulated I;
and inasmuch also MS it is highly important that
the book should be in the hands Of the members
of our church that they may know the rules by
which they are to be governed; DR.. W. NJ
Wightman, DR.. w. Smith, and Chas. Belts be,
and they are hereby appointed committee to
confer with the book agent of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, South, and 10 take the necessary
steps, il possible, to leave an edition of the said
book of discipline published for circulation with
in this Conference, without the obnoxious sec
ton referred to- .r

PREACHING TO THE NRGRoEs-The treasure
Of the South Carolina Conference Missionary
Society, Of tho M. +. Church, South, reports
the sum of SEVENTEEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUN
DRED DOLLARS, m the amount collected during
the past year, within the bounds Of the confer
ence, for the support Of missions. When it is
known that the most of this is expended in the
support Of the preachers to the slaves on our
plantations, (says the South Carolinian,) il will
discharged their duty in this respects and such
liberal contribution for this purpose affords a
practical illustration Ct the only true phiIan-
throphy ever extended 70 the African race. Do

much IN twenty years for the :sornl culture and
