aro rrserved to the Statf*, doth now ‘again most solemnly
drrlarc a warm attachment to the Union of the States, to
maintain which, it pledges all its power*; amt that, for this
Rn<l, it is rticir duty to watch over and oppose every infrac
tion ot those principles, which constitute the only basis of
*hat Union, because u faithful obtervance of them can
alone secure its existence and the public happiness.” And
“doth farther explicitly and peicmtorily declare, that it
views the powers of the Federal Government, as resulting
trom die compact, to which the States are parties; as limit
ed by the plain sense and intention of the instrument con
stituting that compact; us no farther valid than they are au
thoi iscd try the grants enumerated in that compact; and that
in case of a deliberate, palpable and dangerous exorcise of
oilier powers, not granted l»y the said compact, the States
who arc parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty
bound, to enterpnise, for arresting the progress of the evil,
and for maintaining within their respcctiv* limits, the au
thorities, rights anti liheities appertaining to them.'1 In the
opinion of this General Assembly, the principles here as
sailed, and the reasoning contained in the said report, ap
ply with full force against the powers assumed by Congress,
in the art imposing additional duties on foreign articles, for
die promotion of American maim fuel ores, and the acts di
recting surveys ol routes, for roads and canals, preparatory
to a general system of Internal Improvement.
1. In it then tore Besolvecf, That the imposition of taxes
and duties, by the Congress of the United States, for the
pmposu of protecting and encouraging Domestic Manufac
tures, is an unconstitutional exercise of power.
2. Besotted, That the Congress of the United States does
not possess the power, under the constitution, m adopt a I
geuerul system ol Internal Improvement in the Stales as a
.National mens'iie.
.1. Besohud, I hat the nppropiiation of money by the
Cmigiess ol the United Slates to construe! roads and canals
in the States, is a violation of the constitution.

E9TK.rd.vt,—The bill authorizing a loan for the
purposes of Internal Impioverneot, on its second read
ing, tv as called up, (the loan proposed to pay for work
already done on the mountain section, and to complete
the Kanawha road and navigation.)
The question before the House, was on a substitute
offered by Mr. Bryce, to the 2nd section of the bill.—
1'iio second section pledges for the payment of interest
on the loan, and the final redemption of (he principal,
the same sources of Reveuue, pledged by the act au
thorizing the loan of 102-f, viz. the tolls, &c.
Mr. Bryce’s substitute pledges the tolls, water rights.
&e. on the mountain canal, and Kanawha road and na
vigation, mid if they /trove inadequate, then the faith of
the State. &ia. This amendment was accepted by the
peculiar friends of the bill.
Mr. Pattcson, of Buckingham, offered a substitute to
the substitute, imposing a tariff on produce passing the
upper works, equal to the tariff paid on the Maiden’s
Adventure section of the canal.
• Mr. Pattcson declared that lie did not wish to obstruct
the completion of the works already begun; but be did
wish to make those interested in the upper works, pay
for them. 1 f they could not bear this, the works could
not 4>e valuable—and the people in that part of the
country, would he made sensible through their pockets,
ofthe injustice now suffered by those who ate paying
the late tai itl of tolls on James River.
Mr. P’s amendment was opposed by Messrs. .Miller.
of Botetourt, Garland and Bryce who supported the
bill, and supported by Mr. Pattcson, of Nelson. Mr.
Bryce’.-, amendment was carried—ayes, 137, noes 24.
Mr. Tiryrr moved tostrike out the part of the bill, ap
propi ialing $->0,000 to improve Jackson’s River, from
f owing ton to the mouth ol the C’owpasture.
vlr. Bryce said he thought the disposition of the
State was to pause on what was done, before it engaged
*:• any new and undigested enterpi ize. Fifty thousand
dollars were asked foi this improvement, hut it • ould
j’"obably cost, ^ >00,000 to $ idO,000 before it was com
pleted.
Mr. Smith, of Greenbrier, called for the reading of
1 lie Report ol the Principal Engineer favorable to the
project of improving he navigation of Jackson’s River.
Mr. Smith opposed at great length, the amendment of
Mr. Bryce, enumerating the great advantages that must
re-ult from the improvement sought, and urging the
claims which the country on Jackson’s River had on
the justice and liberality of the Legida'urc.
iwr. itfirrison, o\ * uinberbind. suMnmen (ho «imp»(i
inent, oud presented variety of practical views, illus
tialing (lie fallacy of the Engineer’s report, the diflicul
(y ul effecting tiic improvement, and the certainly that
the cost must greatly exceed (heestimate.
Mr. Blackburn sustained the amendment, said
that the contemplated improvement of Jackson’s River,
would add great I \ to the value of’his own property, and
lint of many of his ftiends, hut he saw if that amend
merit did not prevail, they should lose the whole hill_
and he was not disposed because an inch had been giv
en to claim a span. He hoped therefore that the friends
of the great scheme of improvement, would now be sat
lulled with the completion of the works commenced,
and shew by its success, the heuefits resulting from its
completion.
The amendment prevailed by a large majoiity.
Mr. Bryce moved a further amendment, the object
of Which was, to slop (he Kanawha road, at the falls of
Kanawha river, instead of continuing it to the town of
Charleston—-and to improve the navigation of the river
up to that point.
Mr. flnffhcr opposed the amendment at length, show
ing the stipe: i >r advantages of the road to the river be
tween the points mentioned — and contending that the
last Legislature, satisfied of (his fact, had made the
change in the original design of the improvement which
was now sought to be altered.
Mr. Kverclt also opposed the amendment, asserting
that (ho Turnpike was in fact the only improvement
made in that country, the improvement of the River
being in a great degree useless, and that the extension
of the road was highly important to the interests of that
section of the State.
Mr. Bryce replied (o Messrs. TLifTncr and Everett.
The improvement of the Ivanhawa river, was now called
worse Ilian useless Why had not this information been
given before? W ho was to be responsible for the false
opinions upon which the Legislature had been induced
to engage in that improvement?
-V/*. hvtrelt explained. His allusion was to the naviga
tion shove the salt works or the Falls of the Kanaw ha, and
not to that below, lie had called the funner nnd not the
latter, useless.
Mr. Jlorrts, of Wood, opposed the amendment nnd »up
ported the section of the bill as it stood, on the ground ,,f
the great superioiity ol the road to the Hiver above the Falls
of the Kanawha.
Jar. Maisie said, there could be no good reason for aban
doning theorigin.il design of connecting the James uud
Kanawha Hive s by improving the navigation of each
•** tar as uracticable. The navigation according to the
Lngincei s report was iiemly completed, and why now
[ abandon it for the road? If die people at Kanawha want
ed this 1 urupike, let them make it for themselves. It was
not pH11 of the original plan, and liedid not see the justice
of making a turnpike for their sole benefit.
Mr Morris, of Wood, and Mr. liujj'ner., replied to Mr.
Mas»ie, contending that the original scheme had been in
f«ct abandoned—that tlis object now was, to make the best
of a bad bargain—and that the Navigation of the Kana
wha above the falls was useless, while the road would be
valuable. Mr. HulFuer said if the amendment prevailed,
he should be cempt-llcd to vote against the hill.
Mr. PitUison, of Buckingham, proposed to amend the bill
by arresting tire road at the mouth of Slaughters Check,
intermediate between the two points.
The amendment was carried in the affirmative, ayes C‘J,
noes 65.
Mr.Bryce moved an additional section to the bill, re
quiring the President and Directors of the Janies Rivei
Company to attend to th- completion of the works below
Maiden's Adventure Falls, autl thus dispensing with iho
services of the Commissioner lor that section. The section
was adopted without opposition.
The bill having been gone through, Mr. Patieson, of
Nelson, discovering with pain, that it was the intention of
the House to complete the original stupendous scheme of a
lateral canal along Janies Hiver, and conceiving it highly
unjust to require the people on James River above Maiden’s
Adventure, to pay fur improvements made by the State
at Inigc, which were useless to them, and which improve
ments they were made to pay for, by the tariff of tolls,
moved a section to the following effect:—“Kcquiriiw the
President am! Directors of the James Hiver Company, to
relieve the people above the Maiden’s Adventure, frotn'tlic
opciation of the late tariff.” Mr. I*, supported the amend
incut at great length, enlarging upon the injustice of sub
jecting that part ol tlm State to tolls on improvements,
which so far from bcnofmiiig it, were a decided disadvan
tage. and contending that the tariff of tolls was in viola
inn of the good faith of tile State.
The Chair decided the amendment to be out of order,
the subject ol the ta rill being under consideration of a Se
lect Committee.
Mr. Patlrson contending that this was a distinct proposi
tion to repeal, and tint to modify the tariff of tolls, appeal
ed from the decision of the Chair.
Mr Miller, ol Botetourt,contended that the amendment
by Mr. I*, had no sort of connexion with the bill
It appeared that this tariff of tolls, like a chevaux defuse,’
was to meet os at every turn. The amendment proposed
the extraordinary measure, of giving the James Hiver Com
pany authority to repeal an act of t|... General Assem
bly.
f art her conversation took place between Messrs, llarvie '
«»f•Richmond, Blackburn, Battcson, and Witcher, «lien I
*>//*. ratteson withdrew the appeal.
Mr. Morion offered a new section to the bill, prohibiting :
the commissioners firm making contracts cxccediii* the1
appropriation made by the bill—which was adopted "nem
con.
~^r- ITaryie. oflerctl an amendment, making an appropri
ation of $3000 to repair the locks at the loot of the basin
m this city.
The amendment was opposed at length hy Mr. Jackson,
and hy Mr. Gaines, ami supported with much zeal by .Mr'
Hnrvir.
Mr. Ci limp,of Powhatan, likewise supported the amend
ment, which was opposed by Mr. While, and carried in
the negative, and the bill ordered to be engrossed.
The House then proceeded to execute the order of the
day, for the election of a commissioner of the Kanhawu
Road and Navigation.
Colonel William Anderson, the present commissioner,
was nominated hy Mr. .Mt/hr of Botetouit. and Mr.
Blackburn, and re-elected without opposition.
Mr. Blackburn offered the following Preamble and lie
solutions, which lie a day of course:
Whereas it appears to this House that a gentleman from
Charles City, Robert Doulhat, Esq. was elected and re
turned to this House as one ot the llepiegentnlives from
said county, in violation ns is believed of both the spirit
and letter of the law, in that case made and provided, pass
ed on the day of iu the year 1810, entitled an act to
suppress duelling—and whereas it also^appenrs to this
House by a Resolution passed on the 17:!i day of Decem
ber, during tire present session, it became the duty of the
Committee of privileges, and elections, to examine as well
the oaths taken by each Member, as the certificates of elec
tion furnished by the sheiiffs, in order to ascertain whether
each Member lias taken the oaths prescribed by law, and
the time and manner iu which they were taken, and make
report tli-reof to the House—and whereas it also appears
that if the oaths requited by law have been administered
in this case, they liavr not been administered iu the usual
manner, but with some limitations, explanations or mental
reservations, not sanctioned by any thing in the spirit ol
the oaths themselves, or the laws prescribing them:
Resolved, Tnerefore, that this House cannot reco-nizc
the power of any man or set of men, in this commonwealtli,
to limit, dispense with, or modify or otherwise explain
away the oaths by them or any of them severally to be ad
ministered according to law.
Resoled also. That the oath taken by Robert Doutbat
as explained and qunlifi-d by him, is not the oath of office
prescribed by the tilth section of the act entitled an act
to suppress duelling, and afterwards transcribed and incor
porated into the 1 1 lilt section of an act reducing into one
the several acts prescribing the oath of fidelity'and the
oaths of public officers passed the 7th January 1818, what
ever may have been his honest convictions in respect to
that law.
Resolved also, That the net to suppress duelling hath ne
ver been repealed by the Gen. Assembly, or any of its
clauses or penalties, been repealed, suspended,or amended
by the Geo. Assembly who alone have power so to do.

Gentlemen:—On examining your paper of the 2 1th inst
under the bead “of Circuit Courts,”! find upon a vote on '
that question, you omitted to insert my name. ! voted!
against tile passage of that bill, because 1 believed it would j

approbation.

We copy from the Glasgow Courier of Dec. 24, tho
following exti nct of a letter horn the captain of ono of his

Africa, which has been received by a gentleman in the neigh
bourhood ol Glasgow:
“Pitixt.s.s Island. (Gulf of Guinea,) September 15.
“On my passage lic-e I chased several slave vessels; the
liist escaped in the night, and the second I chased mlo the
.months of the AilioU and Esk. and thus hemmed on all
sides-, she was captured. She pioved to be a Brazilian
schooner, with 364 slaves on boa rd, crammed in such a way
that they could scarcely breathe. Two of them died the
next morning and several were not expected to live when
the vessel paiied company for Sierre Leone.
‘•I shall sail to-day with the Maidstone and Esk upon a
rmise, and tire seas arc positively swarming with slave ves
sels.
‘•It is tlit* practice among the squadron to keep as much
as possible at sea, never going into ha-hour but to replen- I
isli out provisions and water. By this means the crews of
the squadron escape the horrible fevers that prevail on I
shoie. Gen. Turner's European troops aie nearly all I
dead. \\ hen I left Sierra Leone, the mortality v. a, eight
a day, and one out of three recovered. At Cape Coast it
is just the same; an ofiicer told me he had lo-t eighty out of
one hundred and ten. I have only lost one man, and the
squadron are all healthy; and as the rains have now Ter
minated, we have a fair piospect, with the blossing of God,
before us."’

The unfortunate Peter JJarion, whom we mention

a period to his existence, by cutting bis arm in so shock

that, being addicted to a habit of intoxication, lie bad
bound himself by an oath, not to drink any more ar
dent liquors: which oath lie, in an unguarded rnornr n',
' broke, and drank to great excess. When lie had par
iially recovered his reason, the reflection .on what lie
h 'I dune gave him great uneasiness He accused bis
