Relation^ on the Amendment of Uie-CoiuttitutirirMtl
Oath of Office. - •
JPO THE PEOPLE OF 8. CAROLINA.
Wc. tho minority of the Senate and Hui'p
of Representatives, feel,it.a ihxty wo owe t.,
ourselves, to our constituents and the country
at large to state the course we have pursued,
durjng the present session ol tho Legislature,
in relation to the *11 absorbing que^nooa
which have been before it, ahd'tlie'ppiMjpl^
on which ' we have actei) in accepting - the
terms of accommodation, which we hope and
believ* will restore harmony to our commu
nity. 1
When the legislature had been la session a
few days, the bill to amend tho constitution of
tlio State, which in the last legislature had,
been proposed by a constitutional majority,
was pressed to a hasty reading, with the ua.-
derstaading, that two thirds of the'whole re
presentation iu botli brunches would pass it.
At tho same time a bill wns introduced todc-
ifitto treason, nnd notice was also given, that
leave would ho asked to bring ih a bill to u-
raend tlm Judiciary system bf.tho State.'——
Theso measures led to the conviction ou
our minds, that the majority, were determined
not' only to pass the amendment of the consti
tution requiring nn oath, of aljegianeo to ,the
Slate, but to give it a construction, which we
regarded as violnting the Constitution of the
United States ; and to enforce that construc
tion, without leaving us any- of the ordinary
peaceable raeansof resistance. When, there
fore, tho amendment was finally passed in
our respective houses, we gave notice,! that
we should enter on the journals onrsoiemn
protest aguinst it. But before it became ne
cessary to do so, a report was mode.-by, tho
joint committee of-both houses on federal re.
lations, on sundry petitions and mctnorials;of :
citizens from various parts .of the.stqtc,-against
tho new oath of office, in which it was dis-
tinclly declared by tho said committee, IHat
‘ i a l l‘ c £ ,anc . e Squired by, the amendment, is
thut allegiance, which every ■citizen-owes to the
State conMtently with the constitution of the
United States,” • When that report was ta
ken lip, it was adopted t in both houses; by
targu majorities of those, who supported the
amendment of the constitution. • This wc re
garded tis an oiler of reponoifiation, anti a
pledge that the bills defining treason, and Ip
amend tho judiciary were not intended toibe
passed: and .to show our confidence; that this
was the courso. intended to be pursued by. thp
majority, we immediately withdrew pdr notice
afprotestaud Waited events. Those libVb not
disnppointod ourexpectations.' Tlio bills to
ifcfiuo treason and to Alter *the jiu3iciary hav.o
not been .pressed to a second reading,;,nor
Tho following very sensible remarks, upon,
that partflf tbe I’residedt’s Message which fe-
tntestirthe French claims, arc copied froip.the
Philadelphia Gazette. The questionris now
agitaring w)th increased excitement, whether
Geueral Jackson is or is not justifiable in the
position which he 1ms assotned towards the
French Nation, and although we believe it is
admitted on all hands, that Congress will not
support his views upon the subject, it is nev
ertheless contended by many of his friends ( &
what will’they not contend for) that their im
mortal'hero is right, and that nothing but*
war wit-, suslaiu the dignity and honor of our
republic. To our humble minds, the recom
mendation of the President is'marked with
every characteristic of madness and folly. We
entirely coincide with tbe remarks of the Ga
zette, and should deprecate a war with our
ancient friend anil ally, as the most mischiev
ous mid-unfortunate circumstance which now
threatens nur' republic. Wc cannot see the
most remote good that would result from such
a measure. *. .
If 1 , a war' with France should be the : result
of the lule rash step pursued by the President
under the influence of his lust for gldry, if
will be pronounced by every reflecting man
of the ,ag9 who regards the cultivation, of
’peace as a Christian duty, as otic of tha most
wanton acts of recklessness that was over
committed by a nation.—Towards. France,

tyofour people, a fooling of kindness and
and we' do not believe that until
sage oy _
Yml will perceive, from the reported pro
ceedings in the papers, that Mr* Polk, ' fiom
the Committee of Way* and Means,, havre-
porled a Bill to regulate the Depositee in the
local Banks—for the sale of the United States
Bank Stock, and to repeal the Act by which
tHe duties of Commissioners of Loans -were
iransfered to, and have .been exercised by. the
Bank- These are all in accordance with the
recommendations of the President—-and are
till iritendeiTonqnestionably to consummate his
plans, and gratify his desires, for the total des
truction of the Bank. Tbe Bill-first named.
I presume,is the same which was reported
last session, and which, after having passed
the House, was rejected by the Senate, i think
I . hazard'little in saying, that the same fate a-
waits it now. As to the proposal for the sale
of the Stock, the issue is much more doubtful,
many members, Who .are thoroughly opposed
to legalizing tho President’s arrangement with
tho pet Banks,-being rather favorably inclined
than otherwise to tho sale of the Stock, upon
the ground that it may bo inure advantageous
ly disposed of now than it will be at a later
period- • , V'
Mr. Clayton’s Resolution to remit the du
ties upon locomotive engines, &c. also came

such has been the result.

Wo have therefore, decided fur ourselves,
and recommended you. to withdraw all- ob

.' CONCLUSION NEXT WEEK
good will,
file message of the President appeared there
was an-individual in tho country who pousid
ered war necessary or expedient. Those who
are old. enough to recollect tho continued and
multiplied eumplairits wo had prior to 1815,
against-the British, for tlio capture of .our
properly, for the ( ir impressment of our sea
men, and for their unwarrantable assertion of
maritime,.rules not justified by tho laws of na
tions, cannbt fail to call to miud how slow in
its progress wus the spirit of revenge. Year
after year,roiled away, and so pacific wits the
American character, although tho question at
issue involved not only a'lurgo ammifit of
property, hut ’the. very iiberty if Amerieau
citizens, that no resort was had to measures
of force, until alt hopes had foiled, arid' until
tho eup of patience had been -drained to the
last dregs.
How different is now the case of"France T
A treaty has just be.on concluded by whieh an
indoranity for spoliations .committed Under
Nripoleon. had been stipulated to be paid, and
by which commercial regulations had been
adopted advantageous t« both coiintrics, 'but
because u delay to tho ; fulfilment of tho trea
ty, discreditable, if you please, to tho defaulter,
but not in the'slightest degree derogatory to
tho honor of the ot ier party, has taken place,
all nt ottee, a forced attempt is made to stir
up an oxcitcment, the tendency, of which- is
to rob tho claimants, who ore our own’ citi
zens, of tho vested rights they possess Under
the treaty, aud to apply a sponge,- the sporigq
of .the, cannon which is the worst of all, to
wiptfofFn'debt which Tty prudorlee rind for-
O.barance coufi! not falfto bo t'cco.vnrnd. • But;
'thie-is riot oil. The industrious pursuits of
thirteen triillious of people proto be disturbed ;
tlteir cnpital rind labor tire to bo turned- into-
new channels; a public,debt is to be created
in order to afiitrd a living for.thousarids of id-'
lers and political adventurers, nnd after llie
expenditure of a hundred millions of dollars,
perhupstlio loss of fifty miUilms hy. captures,
and a grent do«!PUfiUon of Immon ufoi and a-
boyo nil of public and private morkts, the na-
tioti'will again havo tn go through tho painful
ordeal of settling down upon peaceful pur
suits, which can never take place, without o'
wide Spread ruin throughout the wholo coun
try.
The disasters which would inevitably result
from such a war, it would require columris to
depict. And after they hud till brien passed
jtymughrwe should not have onp single srila
ping reflection to componsato .or so much folly
and madness, unless it.conld bo found in -the
foot that wc had expended oor treasure and
spilt otir blond, in order to enable Gonorttl
Jackson to-go down to his grave, upon the verge' :
of which he stands, with a few more blood
stained laurels on his head. y'
ho question was Whether the Resolution
should go- to tho Comrtiittco of Ways and
Means, as proposed by Mr. C., or to.tho Com-
mitteo nf Manufactures, as proposed by somo
other goritloman'. !Mr. C. .contended that
tho subject of enquiry related entirely tpi tho
revenue, and that as a aim pie revenue propo
sition, it ought to be committed to the commit
tee of Ways & Meaus, Mr. Chambers of ,Penn-
sylvariia, and others, contended on tlio contra-,
ty, that it involved tho; principle of protection,
that it wus an attack on tho.Tariff system, as
arranged and settled by the Compromise Act
thot they had no idea of allowing tljat system
to be destroyed in detail-—arid insisted upon
its going to' the CoratriiUee'pn Mannfaptures.
This was followed by a.morion, by. Mr. Sto-
warWtolay the subject on tho table',font that
motion was-defeuted, by 104 Nays, to90 Yeas
The Resolution-will come up again to mor
row—and again the wholo National paity
will be united to destroy it."
I understand, that there was sonie inciden
tal debate, in the Senate to-day,-id which the
