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 have rcct ived information from an unqnestion- ablo som c!' lint uvo thirds yt" iho Stockhold ers have signed the protest against the removal ol" the Bmik, thi-i is as it ought to be.—.Darien IN SENATE", .Wednesday. ‘February 31, The President communicated the momoria! of the Legislative Council of tho Territory of' Florida, praying that tbo Indians within tho Territory may be removed to to the Indian country beyond the Mississippi; and that a Military post may be established at some point on tbo St. John’s; for the protection of tho settlements; that a tribunal bo established for the adjustment of tho land claims in the Ter* ritory of East, Florida. The bill to appropriate ono million from the two millions reserved in the Treasury, to bo applied to tho debt duo to tho Commissioners of tho Sinking Fund, was taken up as in com mittco of tho Whole, and after somo debato it was laid on tbb table.

A message was received from tho house of representatives, informing that.the president had signed .the bill making appropriations for tho revolutionary and other, pensioners of the United State;. . Mr. Sanford moved for a reconsideration of of the vote of yesterday, on* tho bill to establish n uniform system, of bankruptcy throughout tho United States, for tho purpose of recommitting the bill to the-select committee who reported it, with instructions to strike out" tlio ninety- third section. •This motion gave rise to an animated debate between Messrs.
