ROBERT V. HAYNE. Colombia, March llth, 1533. Having, at our first intet view, presented % yon the resolutions of the Genera 1 Assembly of Virginia of the 26th January la c t, on tbo sub ject of federal relations, I have now to request your Excellency to lay these resolutions before *he Convention of the people of South Carolina, which, at my instance, has boon re assembled f(v the purpose of considering them. The Grnerpl Assembly of Virginia has ex pressed, inJts own Itmgu-jge, its son'irnonts con cerning tho unhappy controversy between tho State of?. Carolina and the Federal Govern ment, and its motives, its views and object, in malting this intercession. In these respects, therefore, the commissioner it has thought pro per to depute to Carolina, can h ve noth ins to add. and nothing even to explain. Tho duty presented to hi n is simple and precise. Ho is instructed ..to communicate the preamble and resolutions to the proper authorities of this State, and ‘‘to give them guoh direction as in his judg ■roent may be best ivdculated to promote the objects which the Legislature of Virginia has in 1 .view:” and this part oi’liis duly ho has already, by the prompt’and cordial compliance of those authorities, had tho happiness to accomplish, to Ihe entire satisfaction (ns lie has reason to be lieve) of the. Legislature of Virginia. And he w further instructed and “authorized to express u> the public, authorities and people of tins our sis ter 9* ale, ihe since se goodwill of the Legisla ture and people qf Virginia, towards their sister State, and their anxious solicitude that the hind and respectful representations they have addres *<jd to her, may lend to an accommodation of tho" Vdcrences between this Slate and the Geoural Government.” Virginia is anim tied with an ardent a/id do vo’ed attachment to the Union of tbe*St*tes, n i t - tli” l iahts of the aovernl Slates tint com pose the Union; and ifsimil i’ity of situation and tp’enesls naturally induce her to’ aymoathize, With peculiar sensibility, in whatever rfF’ivt tho prosperity arid happiness of South Carolina and the other Southern States, she knows how to r’-cpooile this sentiment with Iter aftiouion and duty and every other State, sever a Iv. and towards the -United States. She is most solioilou*, to maintain and preserve our present institutions, wliic'i. though thev partake of imperfection, from which no human institu tions can ever ho exempt, anil notwithstanding some instances of inal administration nr error, which all governments ere liable, ar« yet, ue she confidently believe*, tlid happiest frame of polity tint is now or ever hi* been enjoyed by any people —to maintain and presern tti, eyehole Ojid every port of these institutions, in full vigor and purity; to uphold the Union, and the State*; *to maintain the Federal Government in all its j nt powers, nilmimstered according to the f-tiro principles of the .eoßsti’ution, without the least departure from the limitations prescribed by the comonc’; fairly understood, and the State gov ernments in all their rights and authority, as ab solutely necessary to the good government and happiness of their respective citizens. Consul) dat ion and disunion are aliicp, abhorrent f oin her affections and her judgment, the one involving, at the least, a forfei uro of the manifold advan tage* and blessings so long and so generally felt and acknowledged to have sheen derived from tho Union; and tho other having an appa rent, perhaps inevitable, tendency to military ■(lesr>oti»m. And she’is apprehensive—for rea son* too obvious to need particular mention— that in case say difference* hatwenft the federal .government and the States, shall ever be brought to the aruitrament of force, the result, 1< t it be whnt it mny, mnst effect such a change in om existing institutions a* cannot hut lie evil, since it would be * change from tho*o forms of Gov ernment which we have cXperieiictid to lie good, god under which we have certainly been in the main, free, prosperous, contented aod’happy.*- Therefore. in the present controversy between the federal government aryl the Stale of South Carolina, *he deprecates any resort to force hy oititef, and ie sanguine in the hope, that, with proper-moderation and fprbearanoe on both sides, this controversy may he adjusted (as all our controversies hitherto have been) by tfi<> influ ence of truth, reason a«(J justice. ‘Virginia, rememhoring the history of South Carolina, her services id war and in peace, anil her contribution* of vir’ue and intelligence to the common councils of tiiod.'nion. and knowing well the generosity, the magnanimity, and the loyalty of her character, entertained the most perfect confidence, that these sentiments so qherished by herself, would find a response in the heart and understanding of every citizen of this State. And : that confidence induced her Intercession on the present occasion. She has not preen ned to dictate, or even to a (vise. She has addressed her entreaty to the Congress of the United States to redress the grievance of which South Carolina complains. And she hl9 spoken jo South Cardlu}a al-o, as one sovereign ■State, as one State of this Union, ought to speak to another. She has earnestly, affectionately, and respectfully, requested and entreated South Carolina, ‘Ho rescind or suspend her late Or din ince, and await the result of a combined and strenuous effort of the f.tends of Union and Peace, to effect an adjust merit and conciliation of all public differences now unhappily existing.” 81)0 well hoped, that this state “ vyonld listen willingly and respectfully to her voice;” for she knew and felt, that South Carolina could not descend from the dignity, and would nowise comnromit the rights, ol her sovereignty, hy yiejifitSg *° d ,c intercession of* sister state. If, theteforc, no other considerations could have been presented to the Convention of the people of South Carolina, if no other motives for compliance have been suggested than the intercession of Virginia, offered in the temper and manner it has been, and the intetest we all have in the Union, the common attachment we feel t for our tried republican institutions, the aversion from civil 4i*cord qupt.com motion, and the wise and just dread of changes of which no sagacity ,cata t’orsee the consequences,—it might have been honed and expected, that the Convention 1. would rescind, oral least suspend for a tjme, its * late Ordinance. But, in truth the Convention comes now. to a consideration of this subjeot, under a state of circumstances, not anticipated by Virginia, whey she interposed her good offices to promote a peaceable, adjustment of the controversy be tween' this Btate and the Federal Government. There has he en made that “ combined and stre nuous- effort of the friends of peace Union, to effect tin adjustment and conciliation” of this controversy, the result of which South Carolina was re.yucs ed ntid expected to await—end that effort, it is hoped, will prove successful, Ihe recent act of Congress, “to modify the act ol the Hilt July, 1832, and all other acts imposing duties on •ni|jort# f , * f is •uch a moiJi neat ion of the Tariff laws as (I trust) will leave little room for hesitation on.the part of the Convention of the people of South Carolina, as to the wisdom and ptoerieiy of rewinding its Ordinance. Forbearing, therefore, to enter at large into the many and-forcible considerations of justice and policy, which, independently of this tr.oa sure of Cougritss, might, I humbly conceive, have sufficed to induce tho Convention to sus pend, if not to rescind the Ordinance, 1 shall rest in the Iku|*, that the wisdom of the Conven tion will adopt, at once, the course which tho dignity, arid patriotism of South Carolina, her attachment to the Unioti, so constantly express ed, and manifested hy Iter deeds, her duty to hersolf and towards her sister States, and (I hope I may add without presumption) her res pect lor the intercession of Virginia, shall die tate to he proper; and tha.t that course will lead to a renewal of perfect harmony. Sensible asl am, how little any effort ofm.ipo has, or could have contributed to the result, I now anticipate, I shall be well content with tho honor of having been the hearer oi the resolu tions of Virginia, tied of a favorable answer to ■ them —happy in being tho humblest instrument of such a wo. k.

Tiie ymo was 149 to 47 Kaliti di of Odin, who was for a moment in the Senate, would have made lire v.ate; for rhe 6:11 around 1:50-—Thus null fica tioti kicks tiie beam. This bill, xvliicli was designed merely as a measure nf couoieracriwu to the >•< di - rtehco "I null ficainm, has received a riiul- j fi tide of christc'iffngs by the orat.ns in Congtesß. Sonin nf ihe nuli.fieiscalled it tho “lialuny Hay Hill" others <>l‘ theju th Huston Port Bill"— bu< the mo-t ia kine tills among them was the “Bloody Bill." Mr. McDuffie, after the final vote, when the question was about to be put nii ihe title, proposed to amend the title tu toad— ' “An net to subvert the sovereignity of the Stales nf this Union, t<* establish a C’insolidatod g >vemincut without limitation of'port pm, and make the civil subordinate ro the miliary power.” -That is to say, that “the sovereignty <-f the Suites” consists in the right <>f noili-* ficat ion. That an act to pi event a total, overtlnow of the tevenue system hy 'lie sword «»( Dictator Hamilton, is “to make the. civil subordinate to the military pow er” and 1h it to deny the light assumed by South Carolina to subject every othei State tn thefUnion to it* absolute s«av is to establish a consolidated government without (imitation of powers." Since the bill has bec»me a firw, we think it will gradually lose its tcriific as pect tn the Niillilyeis. They will find i(. an innoeept coutiivance t<» collect the dories without tlte trouble of a Writ of Repleviu. They will be satisfied after a wlvde to call it simply “n collection bill," as it was termedijy its.friends; «>r will give it that still mote agreeable title, 'the Sugar Bill;" so called, we presume, as saving Gen.

On Tuesday, Feb, 19 io the House ol Delegates, Mr. Ginns. ol said, lor the first lime *n liis l.fu lie rose to present u petition’ of William 15. Wil liams foi a divorce from M Idred Ins wife. This petition*ivi:h the »ccooqtai.yiug documents, presented a st< ry oi the most interns iug character. It shewed hat the petuioner some years since paid Iris addresses to tiie lady xvtiu afiot wa./J httcaqie his wife, and was tlicn it jeced bv her; that subsequently, encouraged bv marked indicatixaia in the conduct of die lady, us a favor able .cliange in her senti meins towaids him, he again addressed bur, Was jicceirted, and about amenth nee was mailiud to her; that t!ie tuit riage was aci<mp roied by the usual festiv i ies and deni "iistirttioiis of joy, and that 00 t|te second night afiet the wedding his murder was attempted bv his wife, by an ,ngeui us device»—that of pouring molt en lead in his ear.

If such was I die fact, and tfieJiifiv was deranged be fore marriage, that circumstance was suf ficient to auihoiizc a divorce,, ill- under stood that it was the ardem desire of ail parties, that this unhappy .marriage,should be se-.ered.
