“CoLUMgr s, June Btb, 183(5.
The Steam Boat Mctamora, has this moment
tirrived from Apalachicola, anil reports, that when
about five miles above Roanoke, the Indians com
menced an attack from the Western bank of tlio
liver, and continued firing on the Boat, until
. she was able to make a landing, when they dis
appeared. The Mctamora lias on board three
Companies of troops from Irwinlon, Alabama,
and Randolph and Stewart counties, in this State.
They landed, but could find no Indians, After
searching for a short lime, they re-embarked, and
continued up the river, when they were again
fired upon. The Boat, however, was enabled to
keep on, and has this moment arrived. She has
on board five men wounded, three dangerously,
and two slightly. I have jusf returned from the
Boat and you can see the marks of balls all
around her.”
Another letter of the same date states that
there were no envelopes found in the possession
of Bhoad, who is charged with robbing the mail,
or any thing which would tend to criminate him,
but the driver is willing to swear that he saw him
at the time the stage was attacked and knew him.
The same letter states that “ Gen. Jessup left

AMOS W. HAMMOND, Sec’ry.
MR. PINCKNEY’S REPORT.
We publish to-day, the first part of this Re
port, and shall conclude it in our next, so that the
whole of it will be contained in the weekly pa
per of Saturday. That it is a bettor report than
wc expected, we freely confess, containing as it
docs an able argument against the justice, pro
priety, and expediency of abolishing slavery in
the District of Columbia, and wo migni say,
against tile Constitutionality of it, also, for all
its arguments tend plainly to this end, and are
i based, clearly, and sometimes expressly, not only
on the spirit and principles, but even letter of the
Constitution! The grounds and arguments of the
report arc not new, hut industriously selected,
1 and well arranged ; and as the reader will perceive,
i they are precisely those used, from the first, to |
. shew, and prove, as they clearly do, the uncon- j
j stilulionality of any interference on the part of
| Congress, with Slavery in the District of Colum- |
bia 1 The clearness and directness of these ar-'
, guments, even as used by Mr. Pinckney, against
the existence of any constitutional right in
Congress, to abolish Slavery in the District, is
{ suc h, that the reader cannot possibly avoid seeing |
] their hearing to Chat effect, from the beginning to
1 the end of his remarks on the District brancli of
) the subject; and in this is developed, strongly,
s the vile treachery of the writer—shelving as it
, does, beyond a doubt, that he believes it uncon
-0 stilutional to abolish slavery in the District, and
1 yet is bent on merging all the argument to that
effect, in a question of expediency, and thereby
t sacrificing the plain constitutional rights of his
i onstituents to the ever-varying mill, and policy,
, and expediency, of the majority in Congress.
, The constitutional basis of all his arguments is
i so evident, that if he were only to use the term
i. violation, or breach, of the Constitution,
■; where he uses that of “violation (or breach) of
j the rrnr.tr yaith,” the whole would be perfectly
I, | consistent and natural ; while, as it is, it must he
. clear, even to the dullest reader, that he wilfully
evades the wo ids constitution, constitutional,
unconstitutional, See, wherever they properly
apply, and is often hard pressed for ingenuity
• enough to effect this’vicious purpose. This will
be far more evident in the succeeding part of his
’ argument; and in publishing it wc shall probably
1 refer to this matter again. It is so evident, so
clear and palpable, that had we ever doubted Mr.
‘ Pinckney’s wilful wickedness and treachery
, before, we could not now; and wc despise and ,
, abhor, now, more than ever, the base impudence j
1 and effrontery, which could thus brave the inlelli-
gent, and attempt to delude the ignoiant, with
, such palpable Jesuitical sophistry, evasion, and
I deception.
| His arguments, too, on the first branch of the
j- subject, are scarcely less vicious, deceptive, and
I treacherous. He rejoices that "the great body
■ of the people of the non-slaveholding States
! have come forward to sustain their constitutional
obligations to their Southern brethren, and to
1 arrest the disturbances of the public peace”—
1 (while no portion of them has resorted to any
1 tiling but mere -words, and the Abolitionists have
continued to increase) —and also, “ particularly ,
that the Federal Legislature has interposed its
warning voice,” Ac. through Ids own monstrous
and unparralleled treachery —a “voice” that strips
us of our constitutional rights, and places alt
that is dear to us at the mere will and mercy of
that reckless majority, which lie, as much as
any one, lias taught us to fear, and urged us to
. guard against. While he “considers the move
ments of the Abolitionists as fraught with incal
culable evil to the slave-holding Slates,” he
would fain lull them into a false security, to suit
bis temporary purposes, by telling them that “the
strength of the agitators has been greatly exag
gerated, by themselves and others;” and meanly
cants about “ their right of petition,'’ and there
by of denouncing his constituents as “pirates,
man-stealers,” &c. He is “thoroughly satisfied
that the course adopted by the House [in strip
. ping “the slave-holding sections” of their most
valuable constitutional right and safeguard,]
will produce a stale of public opinion and feeling
in the non-slavebolding Stales, eminently favo
rable to the constitutional rights anil interests
of the slave-holding sections of the Union.”—
The false, treacherous caitiff! how impudently
he lies in the very teeth of all reason and com
mon sense 1
His argument in support of the Resolution,
“That Collgicss possesses no constitutional au
• thotily to interfere in. any way with the institu
tion of slavery in any of the States of this Con
federacy,” is a tissue of the veriest nonsense and
inconsistency that it has over boon our lot to
witness. Ho says that bo “will merely allude to
this proposition, iu obedience to the express di
rection given by the House’’—as though ashamed,
as he well may be, of introducing such a propo
sition, and disposed to throw all the just blame
and impropriety of it on “tho House,” itself—
when it is well known, that he, himself, first in
troduced it. and that the Van Buren majority of
the House adopted it, with tho others, only in
accordance with his wish, and of course as one
of the moans whereby he was to sustain his
treachery to his constituents, and desertion to
them —“for tho purpose” indeed, of giving him
an opportunity “of entering into any argument
respecting it,” which he might deem likely to
sustain his purpose. “ The House,” however,
has a “broad back,” abler, perhaps, than his own,
to carry this iniquity, and which has in its time
carried many, of monstrous size and weight, or
he himself wilfully lied when he so frequently
said so.
“Unquestionably,’* he says, “if there is any
political or constitutional principle, which tho
people of tho U. States consider as settled, beyond
all possible dispute or controversy, it is, that the
institution of Slavery, as it exists in tho States
of this Confederacy, is municipal, not national,
and belongs exclusively to the States, and can
only be affected by State Legislation.”—Well;
now, If this be the ease, and the matter is really
“ settlei(, beyond all possible dispute or contro
versy,” where was the use, as has been again and
again urged, of thus unsettling it—making it, al
together gratuitously, a matter of “dispute and
controversy”—and misehcvoUsly creating doubts,
where none existed before I—ls it be a “munici
pal, not national” question, why thus make it
a “national” one 1 If it “belongs exclusively to
the States," why take it thus nui „r 1..
and introduPb it into Congress? And if it “can
only be affected by State Legislation,” why at
tempt thus to affect it by Federal Legislation ?
Again: “Thesubject of Slavery in tho Stales,
is not an open question, or matter of debate.”
[ True ; and why, then, attempt thus to make it
; so 1
“’l'hc fact, that Congress possesses no aulhori
j ty whatever to legislate respecting it, is one that
can neither be s'.rcnglhencifc by argument, nor
j made clearer by discussion.”—True ; and why,
i then, gratuitously make it a matter of “argument”
and “ discussion t”
In addition to this, too, though he declares the
matter to be ‘‘settled, beyond all possible dispute
[ or controversy,'’ and that it “is not an open ques
tion,” and “can only be affected by Slate Legis
lation,” lie tells us that “Tho declaration, which
the House has solemnly and decidedly made upon
this point, cannot fail to produce the most bene
ficial results” ! I —lndeed, exclaims the astonished
reader; why, if your first propositions be correct,
or are believed by yourself, how can this li», and
what can possibly be those 'results ’!—Why, an
-1 svvers tho traitor, “as the Abolitionists care little
i for tho emancipation in the District, except as
. the precursor of a far more extended and general
i scheme, the presumption is, that having now no
i possible hope of Governmental interference with
, the States, and seeing the more than probable
f j consequences of the exercise of such a power if 1
• it were possessed, they will discontinue their
machinations in relation to the District.” Aye,
but, says the still incredulous reader, you forgot,
that in afterward attempting to sustain your
course by precedent, you shew us that the House
Adopted a Similar, and equally strong Resolution,
to that now olljircd by yourself, in 1770, and un
i der precisely similar circumstances; and yet,
notwithstanding that, “from that period to the
present,” as you declare yourself, “the Abolition
ists have steadily aimed at general emancipation.”
Now, if such a Resolution had no effect what
ever, then, when the Abolitionists were, in reali-
I ty, ‘few and feeble,* how can it reasonably be
expected to have any now, when they are many,
a ml,Strong I—“ But,” responds the hypocrite, “be
the issue what it may, the House of Representa
tives has done its duty, by placing tjiis solemn
declaration on record.”—Pardon me, responds
the reader; you, yourself, declare “that Congress
possesses no constitutional authority to inleiAbro
in any may” for, that it “is not an open question,”
hut a “municipal, not a national” one, and be
longs exclusively to the Slates, and can only be
affected by Stale Legislation.” How, then, can
it be the “duty” of the House to ‘interfere in
this way,” “open the question,” make it a “na
tional one, and subject it to Federal Legisla
tion?—Why, says the posed traitor—finding that
his course, like his subject, “is one that can neith
er be strengthened by argument, nor made clearer
by discussion”—“it is not only peculiarly proper
in itself, considering (he present stale of the
Abolition question, but if any justification were
necessary, it is amply justified by precedent.”—
Yet his own precedent shews its utter folly and
inutility, and all his arguments, that it is “pecu
liarly improper iu itself.”

FROM THU NORTH.
Charleston, June 6.
Tho Steam Packet Columbus, Capt. Holmes,
arrived at this port early yesterday forenoon, from
Norfolk, furnishing us with papers and extra
slips from that pla'-e of the latest dates.
Our Corierpondcnt at Baltimore, under dale
June Ist, write., —•
Wc ore in the midst of a severe N. E. Storm,
which has lasted already a week.
There is nothing new here of note—the. Legis
lature is now a embled at Annapolis for the ex
press purpose of acting upon, and if possible,
passing the Internal Improvement Bill. It is
confidently expected that the Bill will pass, but
wo shall not know till ibis evening.
As I before remarked, we have bad a severe
N. E. Storm, and very «dd with all, and fire is
