After some conversation between Mess,

course proper for the resolution to take,
Mr. Smith withdrew his motion; and
The resolution was ordered lo be en
grossed for a third reading.
Mr. Pitickneij rose to offer a resolution.
He remarked, that in the year 1812 the
legislature of South Carolina passed a law
to prevent duelling, which had had great
effect in putting a stop to it; but it was
discovered that, in‘'certain cessions of
territory io the harbor of,Georgetown and
elsewhere, to the United States, the state
had omitted to retain a proper jurisdic
tion over the ceded ground, upon which,
consequently, the state authority could
not go, either to prevent the violation of
the state laws, or to arrest those who had
fled from justice. With the view of re
medying this evil, be moved the adoption
of the following resolution, which was read
provided, that the constitution, wheneve
formed, “shall be republican, and not re
pugnant to the constitution of the United
States,’- by adding to this provision the
following clause:—“nor to the three first
articles *’ ‘ '*
