llut to eulogize the character of such an underta.
king is superfluous, as the title itself will suffi

- IN SENATE,
Monday, Nov. 25.
The Senate resolved itself iuto a com
mittee of the whole on tlie special order
ot the day, viz : the consideration of the
bill to dispose of the Fractions in the
Cherokee country by lotteiy, and having
spent some time therein, the President re
sumed the chair, the bill was reported to
Senate, and the report taken up, when
Mr. Chappell, offered as a substitute, a bill
providing for the sale of the Fractions
and for placing the proceeds thereof in
the Central Bank—the substitute was ad
vocated by Messrs. Towns and Gordon of
Putnam, and opposed by Messrs. Wof
ford, and Echols of Walton. Mr. Gordon
concluded his argument by moving to
lay the original and substitute on the ta
ble, for further consideration, for the pur
pose of amending tlie substitute so as to
aoply the proceeds of the sale to the poor
school fund.
Mr. Saffold contended that the motion
of Mr. G. was out of order, the yeas
and nays having been called for on ac
cepting the substitute in lieu of the origi
nal—and asked the decision of the chair
—a discussion ensued on the point of or
der in which Messrs. Gordon, Danicll,
and Chappell, and Messrs. Neal of New
ton, Echols of Walton and Wollbrd, par
ticipated. The chair decided Mr. Gor
don’s motion had "precedence, but asked
the advice of Senate—the Senate decided
Mr. Gordon’s motion out of order and
proceeded with the call of the yeas and
nays on recoiving the substitute—which
resulted yeas 29, nays 4(5, so the substi
tute was rejected.
The original bill was then taken up by
sections, and gone through with, when
Mr. Muncrief moved to lay the bill on i
tho table, for the purpose of ascertaining!
whether some of the names had not fallen
out of the wheel during the fire ; which
motion, on a division, was decided lost.
The question was then taken by yeas and
nays on the final passage of the bill, and
resulted, Yeas 44, Nays 28—1 6 majority
in favor of the passage of the bill.
The President of the Senate had his
name recorded against the passage of the
bill.
Mr. Towns had leave to introduce, in
stanter, a bill to admit Frederick A. San
ford and Steel to plead and practice
law in the several court of law and equi
ty, upon undergoing the usual examina
tion.
On motion of Mr. Hillhouse, the Mes
sage f.»i>. 11-- -r 0..,
in relation to the Merchants and Planter’s
Bank of Augusta, which had been made j
the order for to-day, was taken up and |
the necessity of immediate action urged j
by Mr. Hillhouse —some members asking 1
for further time to consider on the subject, J
a motion to adjourn prevailed and the;
senate adjourned till half past nine o’clock
to-morrow morning.
Tuesday, Nov. 26.
The Senate agreed to the resolution of
the house directing ail examination into
the affairs of the Merchants and Planters
bank but amended it by substituting for a!
joint committee, certain commissioners to j
be appointed by the Governor.
The order of the day, being tlie reso
lutions offered by Mr. Chappell ; was
then taken up in committee of the whole.
A substitute was offered by Mr. Baxter;
Mr. Chappell, addressed the Senate at
length in support of the resolutions he
had offered, and was followed by Mr.
President YVood, for the substitute after
which the Senate adjourned.
Wednesday, Nov. 27. J
Mr. Gordon of Jones, from the Commit- j
tee on Banks, reported a bill requiring the ■
Directors of the Central Bank, together!
with the Governor, to sell all the bank!
stock owned by the State (provided it bej
not sold below par) and vast the proceeds!
in the Central Bank—which was read the j
first time.
The Senate lesumed the consideration j
of the resolutions offered by Mr. Chappell, j
and Mr. Baxter’s substitute. Except the;
reports of some committees, and some j
other business of little importance, the
speech of Mu Gordon of Putnam, in sup- :
port of Chappell’s resolutions, and that of)
Mr. Towns for the substitute, engaged;
the attention of the Senate during the
sitting.
Thursday, Nov. 28.
The Senate resumed the consideration
of Mr. Chappell’s resolutions and Mr.
Baxter’s substitute. Mr. Neel spoke in
support of the resolutions, and was follow
ed by Mr. Baxter for the substitute, who
occupied the floor till tlie hour of adjourn
ment.

Sir. Cooper's Resolutions.
We were not able to present the Pre
amble and Resolutions of Mr. Cooper,
yesterday referred to, at that time, not
[ iia ving seen them. We now lay them
i before the reader.
Is not Gov. Lumpkin a Consolidalion
| ist ? Are not all Proclamation's Coi;-
solidationists in principle, however they
; may disclaim it ! Does not tiie Procla
, mation deny the sovereignty of the States?
and does not the Governor say that that
|is Consolidation ? Have not his own
I friends in the Georgia Legislature, even
' since his inauguration, voted that the rcs
! pective Slates are not sovereign, but that
, the Union is sovereign ! Out ul his own
; mouth lie stands condemned. The
wretched sophistry which would recon
cile State Rights witli a denial of State
sovereignty, verbal as in the denial of
many, practical as in the case of all who
repudiate state interposition, which legiti
mates Nullification, is undeserving of any
feeling hut contempt. Secession is Nul
lification ; Nullification is secession; if
the States are sovereign, both are lawful ;
and they who acknowledge the sovereign
ty the States, while they deny the one or
tlie other ol these rights, ape seeking to
make a compromise between their con
sciences and their interests. They admit
themselves to be Nullifiers and scccders,
by declaring for the sovereignty of the
individual State ; their lips deny the con
sequence, because in the present stale of
opinion, it would prove prejudicial. Alasl
for the selfishness and deceit of man.
[Rich. IHng.
Mr. Buchanan, late Minister to Russia
has arrived at Philadelphia, having staid
in Russia, we think, about 1) months—
For this he receives S9OOO out fit, SOOOO
salary, and SISOO in-lit—in all, $‘22,500.
Mr. Randolph was sadly abused by the
Collar Press, for his speedy return, and
reception of the emoluments of his (Jiliee.
Mr. Buchanan on the other hand, is re
ceived with open arms, by the party in
Philadelphia. Note the diiierence. Mr.
Randolph had cut the Kitchen Cabinet.
The practice of sending out diplomatic
functionaries, to stay abroad just so long
as to render their places most lucrative, is
a growing and scandalous evil. It is in
fact, neither more nor less, than paying
douceurs to favorites out of the Treasury,
under the pretence of promoting the pub
lic service. It was declaimed against by
Jackson’s friends before his election. It
was one of those abuses which he pro
mised to reform; but like all bis promises
of that nature, she accomplishment has
increased the abuse. Congress lias re
dress in its own hands, and we trust the
time has come when it will apply it.— lb.
The Administration and its doings.
We have often wished that our eccen
tric Rulers would do something to deserve
a compliment. VV e have been lor some
months connected with a press, whoso
muin subject of speculation is the current
of political events ; and when we look at
our past career, we find nothing to relieve
the darkness that marks the course of our
comments on the administration of the
Federal Government. We have seen
every pledge that brought General Jack
son into power violated —we have seen
eveiy evil of Mr. Adams’ incumbency
re-acted and aggravated—we have seen
the most sellish and unamiahle passions—
unchastened ambition, avarice and re
venge—triumphant in our councils—cor
ruption—open, avowed corruption—-
spread bv the agency ol the government
through our whole social system, and the
immense patronage of the Executive
Department placed at the disposal ol the
most worthless gang that ever disgraced
the most worthless Court ol the most
worthless dynasty whose deeds are re
corded in history.
Our city has within a few days past
been thrown into a state ol excitement by
two proceedings, being the sequel of tho
persecution ot Lieut. Randolph. Tho
card of this gentleman which wc give to
day, and an extract from the Daily Whig
of this city, furnish information of one.
Wc believe there is no diiierence of opin
ion here, on the subject ol this transac
tion. All agree that the process on which
the imprisonment is founded is suggested
by the low revenge of the President.—
He never forgave an injury, and never
missed an opportunity of revenging one.
The other case is the attachment a
gainst the Senior Editor of the Whig,
and his discharge from the custody of the
I Marshal by Judge Brockenbrough, under
j a writ of habeas corpus cum causa. We
: give a part of the Report to day, as it is
! furnished by a friend ol ours, a gentleman
! of the Bar, to whose kindness we are in
debted for the manuscript. It may he
relied on as perfectly accurate. Wo
would give the whole of it; but its great
length renders impossible an accurate
compilntiou and revision of his notes, by
our rejiortcr, in time for this paper.
A single remark on the proceedings in
1 Alexandria. Wc arc not prepared to
j condemn that court for what they have
done, provided, that they stop where they
are. An application was made for an
attachment—no opposition was made,
and the Court granted it. on affidavit, ns
an ex parle process, reserving the consid
eration of its further action to the return
by the Marshal, when the might be
1 hoard. Os Mr. Key's conduct, we think
• lets charitably, lie might be bound, un-
