TIE VOICE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

In the House of Representatives of the Legisla-
turc OF South Carolina the following resolutions
introduced by Mr., L. d. Richardson, and the Sd inst
ordered to be printed, and placed On the calendar for
consideration the succeeding day. We repubish
them IN erenso:
Reso'cea That Robert j. Walker the Governor of
Kansas has plainly, palpaby and dangerously vio-
lated the principle OF non-intcrycnion contained in
the Kansas bill First: by taking sides in his inali-
gural address against the introduction of domestic
slavery into that Territory, and enforcing his views
by an argument; thus abandoning. ut the very out
set of his administration, the rcctitude and Impair
tality which bcGtcd his station und upon which ey-
cry section of the Uniou had n right TO insist, and
throwing the weight Of his official influence against
the rights and interests of the Southern States. Sc
condly In undertaking to serve the cause Of free
soil, which he thus officially cspoused, by proclaim
ing that the Constitution of Kansas, after being
adopted, should be submitted for ratification, and by
prescribing the class OF voters to.Mhom only it should
be submitted, when the people of Kansas acting
through their legally appointed convention, alone
had the right TO settle these questions for themselves
Thirdly: In assuming, without authority of law to
Interfere with the returns Of the late election. and
thus, by naked usurpaton, changing its results
and giving the asccndancy in both Legislative Houses
to the party of fnaticism over the party of the con
stituton that for these unjusiiiiablc and lagitols
acts. Robert j. Walker deserves and receives the I'M
qualified condemnation OF the State Of South Car.
olin.
2. Resolpea, That the Legislature of South Carroll.
ma profoundly regretting the failure of the admins
ration to remove Gov. Walker and being wholly un.
able to reconcile such failure with fidelity to the
principle Of nonntewention embraced in the Kansas
bill. are compelled TO regard the attitude of the
President Of the United States as an acquiescencc in
If not substantial endorsement Of the conduct and
policy of Gov. Walker; thereby jcoparling If not
sacrificing principle essential to the preservation Of
the best interests Of the South and the harmony OF
the conlrdcrated States.
g. Rlsolped, That the State of South Carolina re-
cogniZcs and in common with her sister States of the
South will maintain to the last extremity, the right
Of the people of Kansas acting through their legally
appointed convention Tin spite of influence or dicta
ton from any quarterD to adopt constitution, witt
or without submitting the same for subsequent ratil
cation, in their Judgment may be proper, and to be
admitted into the Union as a State with such const
tion adopted, upon the sole condition that il is in
its form repubiican.
4. Resolred, That copy of these resolutions be for
warded to each of the Senators and Representative
of the State of South Carolina in the Congress o
the United States
The Columbia Times, of the 4th inst, informs us
that there is little doubt of the passage of the above
resolutions through both branches Of the Legislature
with some immatcrial notifications, perhaps by 9
majority unparalleled for its unanimty. Hence We
think when this expression OF legislative opinion is
made officially manifest, that it will be rightfully en-
titled to the appelaton OF the voice of South Car
olina.
