IT the postponement that had been moved should be rarried, he should have an opportunity of rnnsidcring the claim of the gentleman. While he was up, he would make 4 single remark upon the statement of tho gentleman that the bill reported from the committee of the J.idinary repealed the Con stitution mid ereciad a military despotism. It wsa a pacific measure, intended lo pi event bro thers from shedding ench other's hlond. When the hill should regularly come before the Sen ate; ho could demonstrate that it was not the votes of tho Representatives of South Car olina in their favor. That gentleman can show rio such thing. According to. the view* entertained by that gentleman, a sovereign Slate throwing herself on her reserved rights, may be placed upon-the same ground with a hand of smuggler.*, who are endeavor ing lo evade the revenue laws. Rut in point of fact, no.such ram as thrt present had ever before existed. Mr. Poindexter rose—hut gave way lo Mr. Wilkins, who moved to l-y the resolu tions on the tulile. Mr. Poindexter had not given way with the expectation that such n motion would made.! hostile measure—that none of its provisions j It was n'rroriflngly withdrawn by Mr. Wilkin Mr. Po.ndexter could not pprsuado him self of the propriety of going into the discus sion nt tins time. When the bill from the Ju diciary Cnmmitleo should romo up, lie should bn prepared to sustain his declaration 1 h it tt amounted, ipso farto, to a repent of tho Cnnsti led to hostility—hut on the other hand, ttial it was expressly designed to prevent collision bet ween the. citizens of South Carolina and the other Stales. Mr. Calhoun said as to tho pacific ch.irac- ter of this bill—Good Lord, deliver ns! It proposed to make peace bv annihilating the j lotion, and invested the President with dn-iiito- Government of a sovereign State—in the first | rial power. The subject now before tho S«n- instanee, by shutting up tier courts of Justice— 1 ate was a string of resolutions which involved und, if tho principle is carried ooi, by hutting 'tie whole srinnen of government, and if dis- u;» Iter Legislature ns well as the Convention I cussed, in eilenso, would convert the Senate of her citizen*. If geu'lemcn real'v desire I into a body to^sel-le first principles. What peace, their path is an ensy one. They had j was the sitimtion of the country ’ Agtoat ex- ' ' '' ‘ ' citemcnt prevailed relative lo lint Tariff. The President had declared the rales of duties on erous and unjust. The Secretary tif the Trea sury has stated that they may be reduced six millions, principally on protected articles. A bill was now under discussion in llm'Ilnnso of Representatives, carrying into execution, to a certain extent the viows of die Executive, which would probably ho di-posed of there in a few days. Wl do such an Int'um idiate mea sure was under discussion, win it not prema ture lo press the decision of an ultimate one ? If tho bill reported by tho Judiciary ('lunmitlee should pass the Senate, it would be ‘nugatory iflbo bill before die House became n law.— The wisest cnurso would be lo quiet.ibis dis trading subject—which would put the whole nation in n blaze—pul a stnp to all hope of modifying the Tariff—and result in what might be called a spinning jenny war. Ho therefore Imped the Senate would pause for a. few (lays and ascertain the action of the House on the hilLbefnre them. If the intermediate femedy fails, It will then ho lime lo urge the ultimate one. The most proper and salutary enufso would be to postpone both the lull and resolu- tiona Until Thursday nr Monday next. Mr. Mangtlm nroposodto modify his motion go as lo make llm resolutions a special order of the day, that they might bo discussed in con nexion with llm bill. Mr. Forsyth enqnirod which would bo Co dded to the priority in tlint case 1 . < The Chair stated that the lull was already a spociil order, and woulif of course bo entitled to tlm priority. Mr. Cullman would prefer that tlm rcsulii- linns bo laid on the table—which was agreed to without n division. Tlm Senato then, in execution of the spe cial order of the day, took tip the bill furlhcrto provide for tho collection of duties 011 imports. Mr. Mangtlm moved In postpone tlm further onlv to repeal tho.-.s laws which wo have been told by the President were- unjust, and by the Secretary oft he Treasury, unnecessary for the purposes of revenue. Let this be done—or 1 he revenue provisions of those laws be sop- crated from the protective, and mv word for it, lbs Stato of South Carolina will withdraw her Ordinance. There were n hundred modes freferable, to that of humbling n sovereign member of the Union to the dust. Should the gentlemen from Tennessee. [Mr. Grun sly^rofuse to withdraw bis amendments, he would propose an amendment to it, which he wished might now be read, which was accor dingly done, and ordered to be printed. Mr. Grundy requested permission to make one* declaration, which Im wished might ho re- tnemhered. He had never given his aid in establishing the tariff system. He wn* now probably .willing to go as far as llm Senator from South Carolina, [Air. Callmun] in redu cing that aystam. In raising his voice on the subject, it was not in behalf of .the tariff, bur is support of the Union. • Any personal ap- penl with regard In the reduction of duties, was not applicahln to him—nny insinuation that he wished to preserve llm tariff system was unjust. Tlm gentleman ssye. the bill Tram tho Judiciary Committee, closes the Courts of Justice of Soatb Carolina. IIa would enquire by tvny of reply, whether that State has hot legwMted tho United States nut nf its limits I The object of the bill is to give due effect Id the Constitutional .powers of the general government. Mr. Calhoun snid the gontlemm had enqui red if South Carolina hod not l-i-iislnted the Unitod States out of it* limits. II» answered no. The States have reserved powers—the United Stales delegated powers. Tho Stato bad thrown hersel^nppn-lief rgscryejl powers ’e.'pinihinjf was intended to obtain justice.

'The gentleman was not onlv sorarif his own integrity, which he [ Mr. IV. ] should not doubt—but was certain nf tho absolute Iruthofhi* resolutions, in ilia word and loltor. Mr. Calbm.ti said, lliera was no fact slated in them which was nut true. •Afr. H'eAsfsr.—That ia what I deny, and wish to put in issue. Mr. Calhoun would bo happy to meet that issue. - Mr. Webster had met with nothing compnr ttblo to the absolute infallibility of the gentle man upon abstract questions, except tho case of tho hero of Hudibras, who had met with and convert-rd with truth in her proper person- Humble minds, like bis own, which had not enjoyed that advantage, were compelled to ac quire the knowledge of Truth by argument, reasoning and dismission. As to thn mesa urea recommended in the hill reported from the Jadioiary Coniuiillea t .he felt it inettmbeni on him to say that there was not a principle to bo found in it which was not m strict confor mity with the Constitution and the laws here tofore passed. With regard lo every provision in the bill except the first seetion, he might, if it was deemed proper, uae the mode of reason ing called, by logician* orgumrn/am ad homi ntm, for there was not one of them which bad pot received the sanction and anpport of the representative# of South Carolina once and again. The charge that tho bill erected n des potism and created a dictator, lie fijll bound to rapal. Loud sounding words of that eharuc- •ter, upon such a subject, ware unworthy the gentleman. Mr. Calhoun said, if he had the wit nf the author of Hudibraa, he would not use it upon ■ each • sulrmn occasion. It was not hi* pur pose to denounco the bill or the Committee which had reported it—though the citizens of South Carolina, exercising no powers but such at rightfully belonged to them, had been de nounced as traitors. The Senator from Alas- sa-husctls, [Mr Webster,] says he can ahow j that tho principle* of tbe bill hire received! Ihe bill.

As the amendments nro of much importance, he had felt desirous to present them more dis tinctly tn the cqpsidorntinn ol tho Senate. Mr. liihh then uddressnd thn Sennte in op position ta the bill, and. alter specking two hour*, he gave way in a motion, by Mr. King, that the Senate adjourn ; which was rarried. Friday, February 1, 1833. Thn Senate resumed thn rnnsidt ration of the bill reported hy the Committee on thn Ju diciary, further to prnvido for the collection nf duties on imports. Mr. Rihti resumed and cnncludad his argu ment against ihe bill after speaking un hour and n half. Mr. Smith then moved that the further con sideration of the .hill bo postponed to and made the special order for to-moitow, with n view that tho Senate should proceed to tho consid eration of Executive business. Mr. Grundy said that unless thoro was some urgent necessity fur proceeding In th consideration of Exncutive business, he should oppose the postponement. If the hill under discussion did not progress more speedily, it would never he disposed of. Mr. Ilolmos said a few words in favor nf proceeding with Ihe discussion of the bill, when Mr. Smith withdre.whis motion to postpone. Mr. Frulinghuysen (one of the members of the Judiciary Committee) next addressed the Senate in reply to Mr. Bibb, and in favor of HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
