MR. GILE’S RESOLUTIONS.
Tho following are tho Resolutions of Mr.
Giles in the Legislature of Virginia, in relation
to tho power ,of the states. In introducing
them, Mr. Giles said, they related to certain
alleged usurpations of the Genfcral Govern
ment—usurpations which if well foun led,
ought to bo resisted—if unfoundedj dignity
required us to be silent. With a view of in
quiring into the justice of these complaints n-
gainst tho General Government! his propo-
positions were submitted. He wished the in
quiry to he cautiously and candidly prosccu
ted. He thought it apparent that the govern
ment was not administered upon fundamental
principles—and ho wished to recur to funda
mental, principles to ascertain iho fact. His
-objriclin'we first place, was an annalysis of
the two constitutions—first, " to ascertain what
we had reserved to ourselves—secondly, to
seo what we had surrendered to the General
Government. Ho had-not suggested the rem
cdy should our complaints he found just—this
would suggest itself. He said wo were im
poverished by the tariff—and ho thought the
contrast between the condition of the Eas
tern State's and Southern, ought of itself to
invite inquiry. He alluded to the alledgcd
flourishing.condition of the Eastern States and
to qui- poverty nt home. He wished this in
quiry to be a Virginia inquiry, nnd ho wished
the committee to consist of gentlemen of all
political parties.
■ Mr. Giles then read in his place tho follow
ing resolutions, which after reading were laid on
the tabic:—
Resolved, That a Committco bo appointed to in
quire arid report, whether or not, the exclusive juris-
diction over all the territory, person* and things with
in the limits of-this commonwealth, was not secured
to the government of this State by the Constitution
thcreot—and whether private" property was or was not,
thereby, secured to the owner, against tiie.pon er of
the government; so far, nt least, that the Govern
ment could not, rightfully, take private property from
tlie owner, nnd give it to’ another person, neither ren
dering public service.
That tho Committee be instructed to inquire nnd re
port—■whether or not any portion of this exclusive ju
risdiction over territory, persons and tilings, has since
been.grantcd to thc GcncrarCSvcrnmcnt by the Con-
stitutionof the U. States, and, if so, to spccify.particu-
larly, each, nnd every portion of such jurisdiction
winch may have been so'granted.
That tlie Cqmrmttce.be particularly insl.ucted to. in-’
quire and.reporl—whether any powcf Has been grant
ed to the General Government to violate tho right
of private property nt its discretion: and, more par-
ticuinrly, to take private property .froui the. owner
and give it "to another person, neither rendering pub-,
lie service..
That the Committee tie, also, instructed particular
ly to inquire nnd report—whether tiic scvi-rnrtaws,
passed bj, il,<- general government, lor the purpose of
internal improvements, do not invert oi involve a ju
risdiction over the territory within this common
wealth,.beyond the grants to that government," speci
fied in the Constitution of the United Suites.
That the-Committee be, also, particnlarly instruct-
ted to inquire nnd report—whether tlie law generally
called the Tariff law, docs not violato the rights of pri
vate property by taking it from tho owner, and giving
it to nnothcrpcrson, neither rendering public service.
That the Committee be particularly instructed to
inquire and report—whether, under the operations
of the said tariff law, a portion of ilie proceeds of
the labor of the inhabitants of this commonwealth
is not transferred to other parts" of the United States,
in violation of the two' great principles uppn which
the Constitution of the United States is founded,
to wit: generality, nnd equality; and, if so, to report
as fnr as practicable, tlie amount of the value of such
proceeds, tints transferred.
If tlie Committee should find nil or any of these
unauthorized assumptions of power on tlie part oft the
General Government—-then,.thatthe Committee lie
also, instructed to report such measures for the adop-
Jion of the General Assembly as tliey shall think .will
most effectually tend (o’arrest these usurpations; to
stay the hand of uvarico nnd despotism; to reinstate
the good people of tins commonwealth in nil their es
sential rights mid liberties; aiid the government there-
of in all the rights granted and secured to it by the
fundamental laws. • . -
On Motion of Mr. Gordon, 250 copies of tho reso
lutions were ordered to he printed.
A debate of high import occurred yesterday
on Mr, Giles’ resolutions in. the house of dele
gates, between that gentleman and genoral.Tay
lor. Tho question being on the adoption of
tho. resolutions, general Taylor, in an argument
of great power and eloquence, deprecated their
adoption. Reading the resolutions one;.by
one, ho expatiated on each, nnd traced results
to original sources, and final consequences.—
He said that tho inquiry proposed by the re
solutions was nugatory and mischievous—uu-
gatory, ns leading to nothing, unless tho state
[Virginia] .Was prepared to go the whole in the
event that "thoy-were affirmatively .reported by
a committee—mischievous, as setting all the o-
lemcnts of discord nnd disunion to work. He
called upon Mr. < J lies for his ulterior views—
ho demanded to Jinow what were the remedial
measures intended to be proposed, if the gen
eral assembly came to. tho opinion, that the
rights of tlie state were trampled upon by tlie
general government? If those remedies were
applied,' and proved abortive, wliat was then
to be done? lie asked for information. Ho
was not willing to embark before lie-know the
port of destination. In terms of impassioned
eloquence, lie painted the consequences to wliiclt
the resolutit us might lead us. They, would
place us in an attitude from which we could
neither recede with honor, nor advance with
out ruin". "Wlion we had taken the stand wo
woro. called upon to take by those resolutions,
wo must, either force the general government to
acquiosce by the power of reason, or that of
arms, or forfeit the honor ami cliaractqr of the
state, by*ft.'disgraceful abandonment of it. For
himself,-ho snid, ho could not hear the fiijnruli
arity with which gentlemen spoke of bayonet
and disunion, without shuddering, and in glow
ing eloquence depicted flip results to which this
tom per was lending us—disunion mid civil war
—tho blood of thousands, and tin* extinguish
ment in this union of the brightest political star
which It,id ever enlightened die worli
liar power of debate, the foundation of his
fame. Ho laughed nt the apprehensions of the
gentleman, and spoke of tho resolutions as a
mattpr of every day concern. He expressed Ills
xurpriso that tho gcntloman, who was distinguish
ed us a military man, should feel alarms so un
necessary, and so little to have been 'expected,
from him. Directing his remarks to tho point
of quieting the excited apprehensions of tho
house, as to the consequences of iiis resolu
tions, ho managed it with great dexterity. Iiis
astonishmeut that any man should bo alarmed,
seemed unfeigned, and showing no heat him
self, ho gradually succeeded in cooling )ns au
dience.. He evaded the inquiries made of him
as to Iiis ulterior views, with great address.—
Ho said that lie had given them no specific di-
rcctioTi, and disclaiming tho compliment which
the inquiry to him as an individual imported,
lie flattered the liouso liy saying .(hat they wore
much more competent than him, to dovisu ul
terior rcinedial measures. - His language was
highly pacific—and disavowing all belligerent
vimvs, he only wondered that such consequen
ces could bo .anticipated from resolutions of so
pacific and modcrato a character.
Tho debate will probably "bo rOsumcd this
day. From the beginning, wc have considered
the resolutions as of tho most momentous con
sequence in their character. What arc tho re
medial measures proposed? But bo they what
they may, let us suppose them to be attempted
and to prove abortive. Nonltcrnativo is left, but
disgraceful submission,under the failure, - or a
direct recourse of declaring Virginia dismem
bered from the union. What will, nay, must
bo, the consequences of jthis last step; what
imagination can think of it without horror-^—
what patriot reconcile it to himself but-nmler
tho last and most desperate necessity! Attempt
at coercion on-the part of the federal govern
ment—resistance on our’s—a civil war which
will rage over this fair and fortunate portion of
ths world—the blood of thousands, and ulti
mate repose only in the bpsom of despotism!
Arc the grievances of which wc complain, of a
nature to make us dare these great and incal
culable evils? Have we exhausted the weapons
of reason, of argument and of patriotism?—
Have Wo made a solemn appeal to our sister
states, invoked their instrumentality in effect
ing a. pacific nnd constitutional reform of our
grievances, and pointed out to them the conse
quences of.thcirpersevcranco in what wc deem
oppression? Shall we do less to redress our
selves peaceably than in the war of. the. llovo-
tiou? Shall wo more readily dissolve the Union
than we did our aUogiauco to GeOrre tbo
Third? . •
• One convderation wo beg leave, to bring to
the mjhds of gentlemen. Tho doctrine ofiiiak-
injMDniU Miikeuuali by the general go vein mem
is in tho wane. The twentieth Congress will c ‘ ( ' ze
probably show a decided majority against it—
New-York, having made her canal, is already
against it—and oilier slates, as it becomes tiicir
interest from tlie progress of their own works,
will unite in the opposition, As to this part,
of the- inquiry, the readiest Way to obtain re
lief, is evidently to await that operation of c-
Wm;s, winch has already nearly accomplished
what wo ivished.
On this oceasion. at least.wc are oxempt
from all partizan feelings.
Of tho influence - of • these resolutions upon
the administration now in power, wcfecl indif
ferent, compared to tho higher aiid more sa
cred cause of tho Union, which wo believe to
be closely intenvdvon with their fate. Ad
ministrations may be put in and out, without
detriment to national happiness and ponce, 'but
tho Union once dissolved, no liuniqi' wisdom
or effort can reunite the fragments, and no ima
gination overcharge tho frightful consequences.
We hinted in our last, the remedy of coun
ter tariff, which it had been rumored, Mr. Giles
proposed by way of redressing the ullcged grie
vances of the state. That lie tit one time me
ditated an excisc upon American manufactures
is .certain—but wc believe that he has laid n-
sido that scheme. Ho lias reflected perhaps,
I hat an excise would be paid at last, not by the
niamifuctuier, but the consumer—aiid that . it
could be enforced only by custom houses aud.
custom house officers, embodied militia or a
standing force. It is possible too that sotno
doubts Iiavb occurred to him of the fonktitu-
tiotial right of the stutc to enforce such a mea
sure.—Richmond paper, 2d instant.
Mr. Giles in his reply, oxbiNted thatqtecu- Gencf!t, Tdfr -astarti.
2'hc Bank again.—Several individuals un
friendly to the Bank of Darien having ex
pressed dissatisfaction at our remarks on the
paragraph which 1 wc copied from the Georgia
journal into the last week’s Gazette, relative to
tho Bills of the Batik having riven to par in
consequQltco.of, tlie late act of tho legislature,
lias induced us to make some further inquiry
on the subject, and wc now ljnu that we were
correct; and wc now state unequivocally that
the Bills of this Bank were passed at par nt
Macoii and in Twiggs county nt least a month
befuro the Bill for the removal of the Bank
was brought before tho Legislature, *tnd, in
several instances the lulls of the Darien Bank
had passed, and exchanged fur other hills of
the State Banks in Miiledgevillc, and we fur
ther iearn that among otlieis Gen. Wimberly
paid in at the Branch of tiio Darien Bank,
United States Bank Bills; ho finding it impos-
ilile to get a discount between thorn and tho
bills of the Darien Bank. Ufjfc’y • ' ", .
We urc happy to learn that the bank will,
in spite of all the exertions of its enemies to
tho contrary not only remain where it is, but it
will in a very short time raise its reputation as
high if not higher than it ever was.
.VO77-;.—Since tho above was in type wc

ablo som c!' lint uvo thirds yt" iho Stockhold
