South Carolina Revolution, but few years ago used

to it,

THE RESOLUTIONS OF MONDAY.

To he Editor Of the Wig:
In these times of excitement, when men are called
upon the most momentous questions Of public policy,
without moments delberaton, il is incumbent upon
the calm and uuimpassoned observer of events per

By all conservative men, the resolutions adopted last
Monday by the House OF Delegates regarded pa
cc in spirit and designed to preserve the pace aud
tranquility OF the land-not as a menace nor def
ance.
Mr.. Seldom of Stafford Thursday in the course of
debate, characterized them declaration OF war
defiance, and shutting the door forever against
ciliston. He avowed himself dsunionst now snd
forever and claimed the resolutions expression Of
his views.
Mr.. Newton, Of Hanover, advocated the adoption Of
the resolutions offered BY Mr.. Robertson of Richmond

they might possibly Illustrate the designs OF dsunionss
but because they not inconsistent with the rcolu

thus recognized the proprety, by decisive vote, of

We consider that question settled.
