I have a few interrogatories to put to mv old friends from Warren and Hancock, Mr. Ryan and Mr. Haynes. 1 say to these gentlemen, that strong suspicions are entertained against both of them, by their old political friends, that they have abandoned the good old principle.s*of 18dr. ; that they have not kept the faith, and are political apostates. I ask, is it so or not? I hope they will clear themselves of these eharg es if they can—it i*.ay bo,j that they are reak. ing their vengeance upon the whole party, with which they have formerly peted, and that too, at the .sacrifice of principle) because they, or some of their friends, have Dot becii'grulified in their ambitious views in permit of office—per. baps it may be because of the defeat of a cer tain gentleman who Ims recently been a candi date liir Congress. 1 hope they will explain why it is, that they both new act with their for mer opponents, and that, 100, at the sacrifice of their principles. I have rat nafriendlv fecliti'/s personally towards eithbr of them, except such as have been produced shici the commence ment of the present session, by their strange political course. I have thought it net amiss to inform them of tin s ■ suspicions, that they might remove them if possible. Igo fir principle, regardless of names. I will go band in band with any man who will go for correct, principl and to none others will I give the band of fellowship. If lam not greatly mistaken in the principles which good old Hancock and Warren support, they w ill not sustain them in their present course ; but ibis is a matter between them and tlioir constituents. Old Warren is my native county, and proud am I to claim her as such ; and my greatest desire is, that she may at all times be faithfully represented, and thereby avoid the imputations and reproaches which so thickly surround one of her representatives at this time, I have said much more than 1 intended—but I hope the circumstances under which I am placed, fully justify mo in making these remarks. I hope the motion for rc-eonsiderution will pre vail. •a5.3«1 lioiisfrosKi—Semsion. IN SEN \TK - I \ N. 25.

The gentleman from Snath (’arolinn ii"ar him [Mr. (?;i lliom i ] had on Tuesday offer ed resolutions declaratory oftbe powers oftbe (lovernment and I lie Stales which bad been made the order ofthe day li>r Monday next. To these resolutions, the gentleman from Tenne.ss. see [Mr. (irmidy] bad proposed iimendnicn's, which were printed, and were to be moved again whenever tlieorgimd resolutions should be con sidered. These amendments, while they declare Inc several acts oft 'engress laying duties on im ports to be constitutional, and deny the power of n single Slate to annul them, or any other rnn slihUiimfil hir, tacitly yield ibe whole deedrinc of nullification by the implied admission that a nv unconstitutional law may he judged of by the Stale in the Inst resort and annulled by the same authority, Ile dissented from this doctrine—and it he bad rightly considered the proposed a mendments, it became bis duty to place on re cord bis own sentiments, and that of the State lie in part represented, on Ibis most important subject, affirming Ibe just powers of tbistiov ernment, mid repudiating the whole doctrine contended (br ami asserted in tho resolutions of the gentleman from South Carolina. Diil’ering on this subject, ns bo formerly bad in debate hero, from the from Tennessee, be knew no middle ground on which they could meet, no point of concession to which lie should be willing to go, short of a full recognition of tho true principles oftbe (‘(institution, as assert ed in the resolution be was about to oiler. He then submitted tho following resolution, which was read, laid on the table, and ordered to he printed for the use of the Senate: /iV.va/m/, That the power to annul the several acts of Congress imposing duties on imports or tiny other hi w of the Tinted States, when assum ed by a single Slate, is “incompatible with the existence of tho Talon, contradicted expressly by the letter of the Constitution, unauthorized by its spirit, i leonsislent with every principle on which it was founded, and destructive ofthe great object for which it was formed ;” that the people of these i nitcd Slates are for the pur po-s-'s enumerated in their Constitution OINK I‘EOTLK \N!)

Mr. Clayton then requested Mr. Manou.m • to withdraw bis motion to postpone, to enable ■ him to move his amendment, to which Mr. M. 1 assented—when Mr. Clayton moved to strike ■ out the bth and’Oth resolutions of Mr. Grundy's 1 substitute, and insert instead thereof hi* amend -1 meet. 1 Mr. M in, urn then renewed his motion to post ■ pone to Thursday. Mr. W imsTcit said he was disposed to allow ’ the Senator from South Carolina, | Mr. Calhoun] 1 to select hisown time for ihe consideration of the resolutions. He was unwilling to interfere with any understanding which might exist be. 1 tween the Senator from North Carolina, [Mr. s Manguni,) and that gentleman on this subject, • unless it extended to the special order—the bill reported by the Committee of tho Judiciary.— 1 Ile could not assent to the postponement of that ’ bill. • Mr. Calhoun had a request to make of the 1 Senator from Tennessee,. [Mr. Grundy,) which ! was (bunded on strict justice, it was not ne cessary for him to detain the Senate with a de- J tailed statement of the situation of the Stale J of South Caolina. It was sufficient to say that that State, acting su her sovereign capacity as 1 judge of her own rights, in the last resort, had 1 annulled certain acts of (kmgress. The I’rcsi • dent of (he United States, taking a view of the ■ righ's of the Slate, entirely different from that entertained by her, bad promulgated bis procla mation to that effect. As a citizen of that State, and repfes nting her in part in the Sen ate, h - had moved certain specific propositions which la; had drawn with great care —which did . not contain a single word which was not ahso , I itely true.—and which ho olf rcd as a plea in bar to tho measures which had been reported by . the Judiciary Committee in pursuance oftliu Ex i ccuiive recommendation. He wished to inter , pus,' the ('onsutiition of the United States be tween this bill which erects a military despotism, an I creates a dictator—and disguise it as you i will, the bill amounts to u repeal of the ('onsti tutioii—for tho purpose of carrying on war , against Soutli Carolina, IJo had en Jouvorod to interpose that neglected and despised instrument, C the Constitution, in bur to the prosecution of this war. How had his wishes been met ! In. , stood of meeting tho issue he had intended to forni by his plea in bar, another bad been putin, , which, by the rules of the Serial, ■, overrides it. . ilefuiv any tribunal, there was no culprit so 1 humble as not to enjoy tho right of making his defence in bis own way. liy the amendment of tho gentleman from Tennessee, [Mr. Grun , dy,| the exercise of this right was denied to a I sovereign State. Ile therefore claimed of that gentleman to withdraw his amendment, that the , issue might he fairly made tip. C Mr. Grundy was not unwilling to discharge , any duty imposed on him by the obligations of ! justice. Hut ho must in this case he permitted to exercise his own judgment as to the obliga tion. If the postponement that had been mov ed should he carried, ho should have had an op. ■ portnnity of considering the claim of the gen tleman. Wtii oho was up, he would make a single remark upon the statement of the gentle-’ man, that the bill reported front tho committee of the Judiciary repealed the Constitution and erected a military despotism. It was not so.— The gentleman was entirely mistaken. It was a pacific measure, intended to prevent brothers from shedding each other’s blood. When the bill should regularly come before the Senate, he could demonstrate that it was not a hostile men s’,ir ■ —that none of its provisions led to hostili ty—hut on the other hand, that it was expressly designed to prevent collision between the citi. zens of South Carolina and the other Stales. Mr. Calhoun said as to the specific charac ter of this bill—Good Lord, deliver us! It pro posed to make peace by annihilating tho Gov. eminent of a sovereign .Stale—in the first in stance, by shniting up her Courts of Justice— mid, if the principle is carried out, by shutting up her Legislature as well as the Oo.nvoniion of her citizens. If gentlemen really desire peace, their pa his an easy one. They had only to repeal thus ■ laws which we have been told by the I’residettt were unjust, and by tho Secretary of the Treasury, unnecessary for the purposes of revenue. Let this bo done—or let the rev rime provisions of those laws be separated from the protective, and my w«trd for it, the State of South Carolina will withdraw her Ordinance. There were a hundred modes preferable to that of humbling a sovereign member of the Union to the dust. Should tho gentleman from Ten ne-see [Mr. Grundy.] refuse to withdraw his amendment, lie would propose an amend'meat to it, which he wished might now he read ; which was accordingly done, and ordered to bo printed. Mr. Grundy requested permission to mi ike one declaration, which he wished might be remem bered. Ile had never given his aid in establish lug the tariff system, lie was now probably willing to go as far as the Senator friar. South Carolina, | M r. Cai.iioi x | in reducing tli: ! sys tem. In raising his voice on this subject, it was not in behalfof the tariff, but in support of the Union. Any personal appeal with regard to the reduction of duties, was not applicable to him—uuv insinuation that ho wished to preserve the laritf system was unjust. The genii -.man says, the hill from the Judiciary Committee, closes the Courts of Justice of South Carolina. } He would enquire byway of rcplv. whether I that State has not legislated the United States j out of its limits ■ The object of the bill is to give | due elleet to tho Constitutional powers of tine I general government. Mr. Cai.iioi x said the gentleman had enquir- | ed if South Carolina had not legislated the I - nitej States out of its limits. He answered no. j The States have reserved powers—the I nited States delegated powers. The State had throw n herself u pon her reserved powers to obtain justice. Nothing wax intended but to meet pro cess by process. No application of force on tin part of the Slate hud been contemplat' d, wlv n the UnitedStutes —a giant with a hundred arms, comes forward and says keep the peace ! —and now proposes to subvert the State Government. Mr. VVkhstuk thought nothing could be more irregular than this discussion, unless the gentle man from SouthCarolina [Mr. Calhoun] acts up on the notion that it is necessary, in order to op. ■ pose a measure with success, to give it a bad name, and to denounce in advance what he might find difficult to controvert in argument, when it came regularly before the Senate. He could not, ns one of the Committee which had reported the bill, sit silently, after hearing that gentleman state that its object was to erect a military des potism—to create a Dictator.—Ho proposed to try conclusions with the gentleman with refer ence to its provisions, at a suitable time, and in a suitable manner. The gentleman was not only sure of his own integrity, whichhefMr.W.] should not doubt—but was Certain of the abso lute truth ofhis resolutions, to the word and let ter. Mr. Calhoun said, there was no fact stated in them which was not true. Mr. Wjbbster.—That is what 1 deny, and wish to put in issue. .Mr. Calhoun would be happy to meet that issue. Mr. VVeiistf.r had met with nothing compara ble to tho absolute infallibility of the gentleman upon abstract questions, except the case of the hero of Iludibras, who had met with and con versed with Truth in her proper person. Hum hie minds, like his own, which hud not enjoyed that advantage, were compelled to acquire the knowledge of Truth by argument, reasoning and discussion.As to the measures recommended in the bill reported from the Judiciary committee, lie felt it incumbent on him to say that there was not a principle to be found in it which was not in strict conformity with the Constitution and the laws heretofore passed. With regard to every provision in the bill, except tho first section, he might, if it was deemed proper, use the mode of reasoning called by logicians argil mrntum ad hotninem, for there was not one of them which hud not received tho sanction and support of the representatives of South Carolina once and again. The charge that the bill erect, ed a despotism and created a dictator, ho felt hound to repel. Loud sounding words of that character, upon such u subject, were unworthy the gentleman. Mr. Calhoun said, if he had the wit of the author of Iludibras, he would not use it upon such a solemn occasion. It was not his purpose to denounce the bill or the committee which had reported it—though the citizens of South Caroli na, exorcising no powers but such as rightfully belonged to them, had been denounced as trai tors. The Senator from Massachusetts, [Mr. Webster.] says he can show that the prineiples of the lull have received the votes of the Repre sentatives of South Carolina in their favor. That gentleman can show no such thing. According In the views entertained by that gentleman, a sovereign State throwing herself on her reserv ed rights, may be placed upon the same ground with a baud of smugglers, who are endeavoring toovndo the revenue laws. Hut in point of fact, no such case na the present had ever before ex is'ed.—He would prefer that the resolutions be laid cm the table —which was agreed to without a division. The Senat then, in execution of tho special order of she day, took up the bill further to pro. vide for the collection of duties on imports. Mr. Manouk moved to postpone the further consideration of tho bill to Thursday next, and make it the special order—upon which motion he asked the yeas and nays —which were or dcred. Tho motion was negatived by the following vote : Yeas — Meessrs. Bibb, Black, Brown Cal houn, King, Mangum, Miller,Moore, Poindexter, Rivos, Smith, Troup, Tyler, Wnggaman, and Whit*—l3. Nay-t—Messrs.

Mr. Wit.kins then went into an extended .ex plana t on of the provisions of the bill, and of the occasion which called for them—after address ing tho Senate about an hour and an half without concluding his speech, he gave way to a motion by Mr. Grundy, that the Senate adjourn, which was carried. hi the House of Representatives, after tho transaction of the usual morning business, the Tariff bill was taken up in committee of the whole on the state of the Union, Mr. Wayne in the chair. Mr. Burgess resumed his remarks in op. position to the general principles of the hill, which he concluded after speaking three hours.

Mr Wilde, after sonic preliminary remarks upon the imputations cast upon I he Com mittee of Ways and Means, contained in the Report oftho Joint Committee of the Legislature of Massachusetts, moved to reconsider the vote by which it was referred and ordered to be printed. Before tho vote was taken on this motion the hour allotted to morning business had expired. The House then went into Committee oftho Whole on the state of the Union, upon the Tariff hill—Mr Wayne in tho Chair. Mr. 1. C. Bales addressed tho Committee in opposition to the hill nearly two hours, and was followed by Mr. Pearce, also against tho Dill, —who had hot concluded hi.s speech when our paper was made up Last of the Races. —On Saturday tho Races of the Savannah Jockey Club terminated after an animated and bustling week. At an early hour the road to the Course began to present a moving scene of horses and vehicles of every description, and at the regular time for starting, the Course was crowded. The rivals for tho purse ($200) wore Jonh, (handicapped at 80 pounds) Patsoy Wallace, (75 pounds) and Uncas, (100 pounds.) Tho first heat was won by Joab, Patsey Wallace coming in two lengths behind him,and Uncas following about the same distance behind her. Time 1 m.sßs. The second boat was a very close one, all three horses keeping to gether nearly the way round, but Joab had tho j tools oftho others, am! came in a length ahead of Patsey Wallace, Uncas being last. Time 2m 18s. Tho third heat was stonily contended for by Patsey and Uncas, they keeping close upon Joab and putting him up to all ho knew, but it proved Wo much tor them as he kept tho lead and came out an open length ahead —Patsey second, Uncas last. This terminated tho Races for this season. Our city has felt their influence in no dis agreeable manner. There has been a cheer fulness and activity in the motions of our gone -1 rally sober-sided citizens, which., indicate that they were well satisfied at heart. We under -1 stand that the Savannah Jockey Club has receiv ed a considerable addition toils members, and j it may now be view id as established on too per manent a footing to fear any of those vicisitudes which so often dissolve such assemblies. After the racing was over on Saturday, the members of the club sat down to a dinner prepared for them at the Course, and the afternoon was spent , with the greatest harmony and hilarity. Vari ous toasts appropriate for such an occasion wore given. Miss Sally Hornet was too important a personage to bo omitted, and her untiring adver ’ snry, Rattlesnake, came in for her share of com pliments.—Savannah Georgian, Ath inst, ’ In 1825, one of Mr. Carroll’s grand-daugh ters was married to tho Marquis of Wellesley, then Viceroy of Ireland; and it is a singular circumstance that one hundred and forty years j after the first emigration of her ancestors to > America, this lady should become Vico Queen -of tho country from which they fled, at the f summit of a system which a more immediate i ancestor had risked every thing to destroy ; or, 1 in the energetic and poetic language of Bishop i England, “ that in the laud from which his fa. t ther fled in fear, his daughter’s daughter now . reigns a queen.” , To Ladies in leant of Husbands. —It appears - from the Sydney Gazette, that In the Sutton .

The news of the surrender of the citadel of Antwerp I had not, at that date, been received in England. Tho I arrival in Charleston of the brig Texel, from'Rotter dam, brings the information of the surrender of that fortress to the French, after a resistance of 18 days. The British fleet had returned to England, and the Dutch merchant vessels which it had captured had been released. At Oporto nothing decisive had occurred. General Solignac, a French officer of considerable reputation, had been appointed to the command of Don Pedro’s forces. In England the elections had terminated in favour of the Ministry. Cobbett has been returned for Oldham. A London paper of the 23d states, that the city was unusually barren of continental news ; that the money market continued very firm, and tho speculators expect ed soon to hear of the fall of the citadel of Antwerp;* the news of which it was considered, would enhance the value of the stock. .Since the above was in type, we received the Charles ton Courier of last Wednesday, containing the informa tion of the arrival at that port of the skip Hogarth, from Havre, whence she sailed on the 27th December. The fall of the citadel of Antwerp is confirmed. This news had been announced to the inhabitants of Paris, by the firing of the guns at the Hotel des Invalides. It was reported that the King of the French, Queen, and all the Royal Family, intend to go to Lille, to meet the troops and the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours,‘"upon their return from Ik Igi'.mu Genera! Chnsse surrender ed the citadel at discretion. Ho and all his garrison are to remain prisoners of war until the complete evacua tion of all the forts. CONGRESS. We received by the last mail Washington papers Co the 31st of last month, from which we have made such selections as we thought of importance and interest to this section of.the Union. In both houses two subjects were in full debate, which elicit much feeling, and create much interest throughout the country. The Enforcing bill, and Mr. Calhoun’s resolutions, in the Senate, ,and the Tariff in the House. In a few days we shall hear of either house coming to some decision on the subject be fore if, It is believed by those who have paid some at tention to the prevailing feelings of the members, that the Tariff bill will pass the house. It will be more doubtful in the .Senate. According to the proceedings of the -enate, it appears that the committee on the ju diciary, which reported the bill for enforcing the collec tiuu of the revenue, has proposed two amendments to it: one to limit some of its provisions to the end of tho next session of Congress, and the other, to restrict the ÜB6 of military force by Hie Executive to the suppression of violence. These will remove some strong objec tions to the bill. We shall endeavor to give in our next the debate in the Senate, though what is to como may prove more interesting, ns it appears that Mr. Webster and Mr. Calhoun are to he the principal speak ers upon the question before the Senate.

(Ij 3 Always desirous to act impartially, we publish the following communication, in reply to the notice in serted incur lust paper, and for which we had sufficient authority. This communication would not have been published, if it had come to us anonymously. Mr. Editor i —The writer of this article, deems it due to truth, to the public, and to Mr. Samuel Tarver, to state that the notice which you were authorized to publish ill your last paper, denying the political opinions of the gentleman mentioned, was wholly incorrect. The opinions of Mr. Tarver arc well known in this com munity, and we speak knowingly when we slate, that he is n imllijier. Wo cannot believe that Mr. T. authorized tho publication, for we believe him 100 hon est a man, to deny his political sentiments for the pur pose of obtaining an office. The denial must have been unauthorized by and without his knowledge, it was i therefore with surprise that we noticed the publication ■ alluded to. The writer of this is himself a nullifies and would not therefore urge this as an objection to the • claims of any individual, on the contrary he deems it duo the gentleman to* correct the statement. Mr. T. is a candidate before the people, for u responsible office i within their gift, his claims as well as those of the oth er Candida*- • are before the public. If political ojiin ■ ions have any bearing upon this election, the voters . should know Mr. T’s real opinions, that they may give their votes advisedly. TRUTH.

Secession. —A Cooper in Now \ ork in speaking of tho right of secession, said, that “a State had no more right to Union, ' a ‘ cask." The simile is striking and appropriate. . ?
