JOHN II. MARTIN . COLUMBUS: Saturday Morning, Nov. 18, 1805. TITUTIU? NENT—A* AIN. We have received, nud copy in this pa per, the Message of Gov. Terry recom mending to tho South Carolina Legisla ture the adoption of the “constitutional amendment” abolishing slavery. The message discloses the influences and con* ^derations that prompted tho recommen dation and induced tho action of the Le gislature. Tho presumption is that tho Legislature, in adopting the amendment, adopted also the suggestion of tho Gover nor that tho construction given to tho last clause by Secretary Soward should ho placed on record. The last clauso is in those words: “Con- gross shall have power to cnforco this ar ticle by appropriate legislation.” Mr, Howard says that this rlaueo “ii restrain ing in its effect#, instead of enlarging the power of Congress.” Wo cannot exactly “see it” in that light, in view of tho cus tomary Northern way of Interpreting the Comtituffibn. But wo think we sou what Mr. Seward, speaking as a lawyer ad dressing himself to tho object sought to bo attained, moans. JIo means that inasmuch as this clause only gives Congrosa powor to onforco by appropriate legislation a provision guaranteeing simple freedom to tho negro, thorofore it restricts Con gress from going beyond th^oxpress grant to onforco any other right of tho frood man. Whether this will ho tho construe tlon of Charles Sumner and Tbaddous Stcvons. and of tho Republican majority in Congross, remains to bo seen. If they adopt it, they will spin a thread of nrgu ment much liner than over wo know one of that class of politicians to spin before in limiting tho scepu of a constitutional grant of power. But, ns we bavo said before, the adop tion of tho constitutional amendment is now as good as secured. Tho best thing LhAt tho remaining Southern States can do is, perhaps, to accept it with the clearly rocogni/.ed construction of Mr. Seward— with tho distinct declaration that its scope is undorstood to bo limited to tho extent Indicated by him and said to ho concurred in by tho President and tho Attorney General. By doing so, wo commit to our support, in this matter, tho highest offi cials and men of the most extensive influ ence. ICvon if tho Sonators and Kopro- Bontatives of tho Southern States should this winter bo excluded from Congress, officials occupying such positions and ex erting such influence ought to bn able to Arrest ail legislation beyond this scopo until tho South can obtain representation. It soems to us useless longer to hold out Against tho constitutional amendment (for it is socurod already), and that our host policy is to securo, if wo can, such a lim itation of its construction as will provont legislation by Congross that would bo utterly repugnant to and subvorsivo of tho rights of the States .to manage their own domestic affairs.

The hour of one o’dock, p. in., having arrived, tho l»i*Lop adjourned tho Con- Brazil and emigration thither, from the Mobile Advertiser and Register. We learn from an advertisement in the same paper that Major Hastings intends to start at an early day with a colony for that country. A correspondent of tho Macon Tele• graph Rtatoa that the existence of ei\ in the water taken from tho Washington Hull pump, in Ihut city, has boon discov- orod. lie says that an experiment tried upon throe quarts of it resulted in obtain ing a large tublespoonful of oil, which burned readily, emitting a bluo, lambent flumo. Editor Enquirer /—You will pi on a o in sert tho following election returns from Harris county, as far as heard from : For Congross—Blghara,a majority over Buchanan; Redding, a majority of over 100 votes ovor Ramsey; Hudson and Hargett olectod Representatives over Col. McCullough—Hudson by a largo majori- ty—probably !J00 votes. Thoso dofoaled have all porved in tho army, while thoso elected were never in tho army. Col. McCullough wus a gal lant soldier of four years sorvice, and re ceived tho smallest vote on the ticket. Rospoctfully, W. P. Kambry. The Ordinance of Repudiation* We llnd that there is still doubt ns to tho exact sbapo in which this ordinance was passed by the Convention, and therefore copy it bolow ns amended and adopted : AN ORDINANCK To rendor null and void all debts of this JStuto croatcd forthopurposoof carrying cd on tho lato war against the Unite States.

Beit further ordained, That inasmuch as the annual income of tho State, before and during said war, from taxation and othor sources of rovenuc, woro amply suf ficient for tho support of tho ordinary civil government of tho State, and for tho payment of all its expenses, incidont to a state of peace; and ns the extraordinary expenses which led to a creation of a debt were the offspring and results of the war, it is therefore the judgment, Ordinance and decree of this Convention, that all debts of tho State incurred during said war, shall he considered, hold and treated as debts incurred for carrying on tho war; Provided, that noLhing heroin contained The Internal Hcvriitic I<uwh* lMPOltTANT COUHMOTION. Our attention has been called to tho fact that the specific and ad vniorem taxes on Articles named in Table 1, published in this paper, wore imposed by an act of Congress approved June IK), 1804, and that by a subsequent act, approved March 3, 1805, an additional tax of ono-flfth or twenty per cent, upon tho rates of tho firaUnnmod act was imposed upon articles named in section l*I of that act, excepting a few articles ppecillod.
