cases of Madeira, Sherry and Port Wine,

old and equal to any in this country. Be also

sales of Schnapps last year amounted to one
,d and eighty thousand dozen, and we hope in 1-se
. two years he may be equally ,successful with his
rndies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage of every lover of his
species. Private families who wish pure Wmes and
Liquors for medical use should send their orders direct
to Mr. Wolfe, until every Apothecary in the land make
up their minds to discard the poisonous stuff from their
shelves, sad replace it with Wolfe's pure Wpm and
Lagants.
We understand Mr. Wolfe, for the accommodation of
small dealers in the country, puts up assorted cases of
Wines and Liquors. Such a man, and such a merchant;
should be sustained against his tens of thousands of op
ponents in the United States, who sell nothing but imita
Lions, ruinous alike to health and human happidess.

Mr. PAITERSON, from the Committee ap
pointed to contract for the publication of a
Daily Legislative Record, made the following
report:— ,
"The Committee appointed on the part of the
House, to act in conjunction-witha similar com
mittee from the Senate, topontract for the pub
lication of a Daily Legialative Record,- 'report
that they have made a contract with George
Bergner, which has been confirmed by the
Senate, and. move that the said contract be con
, firmed by the House.
- -"-
hands
The reading of the contract being called for,
it was read by the Clerk. -
Mr. ARMSTRONG. I would ;stiggwt that
this Record be furnished With an index. I un
derstand that the Record, as heretofore publish
ed, has not been indexed.. The inconvenience
resulting from such an ommission must be felt
by every one who has had oecadion to look
over the records. I would,sUggest an addition
al provision requiring that- thelast number of.
the Record shall be provided with an index of
the entire proceedings of the :session:
Mr. PAITERSON. I do not consider that
the .committee had power =to. make such 'a pro
vision_ as is suggested by my Mend from
Lycoming. The resolution directell the com
mittee to frame a contract' at an amount of
compensation not greater than' was paid last
session. If Mr. Bergner should be required to
furnish an index which^ is an additional labor,
it would evidently justify increase et'cora
pensation. The committee had :no power to
make such a provisionivithOnt being author
ised to do so by tile House.
The SPEAKER. The matter of indexing would
require septirate legislation. The. question is
now on agreeing to-the report of the commit
tee. •
The report was agreed to.

Resolved, That if there be any grievance of
which any pot don of this nation has any just
cause to complain, the remedy, therefor is in
the Union, and-the means of redress are ample
-and - adequate under the Constitution of the
United States; and that the , assertion of a right
on the part of the community, supposing itself
to be aggrieved,- to resist the at bitrament of
the constituted authorities, and to determine
such question for itself is no more-or less in
substance, than an appeal to the sword.
Resolved, That so long as the State of South
Carolina stands in an attitude of declared re
.hellion against this Government, with arms in
her hands, to resist the authority of the laws,
it would be incompatible with the dignity of
this Commonwealth and her just pride as a
member of this confederacy to treat with that
State upon any question touching the perform
ance of our duties under the Constitution of the
United Staten--
Resolved. That while the people of Pennsyl
vania in common with those of other of the
free States have just cause of complaint that
the rights of American citizens under the Con
stitution have been denied to themselves in
some of the Slave States, they protest against
the untruthful assumption, that they have in
any way broken their covenanted faith towards
the people of any portion of this Union ; that
they are satisfied with the Constitution as it is,
and will continue to stand by and observe all
its compromises ; and that while they are ever
ready of their own free will, and without regard
to menace from any quarter, to redress any
wrong which may be fairly imputed to them in
the spirit of justice and with the magnanimity
which becomes the people of a great and
_pow
erful State, they- will expect • and insist that
every other State of the Union shall do the
same.
Risolved, That secession is revolution, and its
inevitable consequences, war ; that the integri
ty of the Union must be maintained and de
fended at all hazards and under all circumstan
stances_ ; and that upon this question the peo
ple of Peunsylvania will be, as they have ever
been, a united people.
' Mr. DUNLAP. I move that the resolutions
be laid on the table.
Mi. FRAZIER. I would like to know wheth
er these are not joint resolutions, and • whether
they do not, under the rules, lie over, as a mat
ter of course.
Mr. WILLIAMS. If the House is not in
clined to hear anything upon this question to
day, I shall satisfiedto have the reso
lutions disposed of in the manner proposed by
the gentleman from Philadelphia [Mr. Dtariar]
.without reference to the reasons that may have
prompted the motion which
.I do not profess to
understand. I should have no objeCtion to that
disposition, so that they may be called up and
considered hereafter upon a motion to refer if
such a course should be thought necessary, or
. . ...
MT — am prepared at any time 0,17,
the consideration of the questions which tolerY..,
involve. As the same topic has found its wa
into the House in the shape of resolutions and
petitions, I thought it important that I should
submit on the - present occasion what I pro
posed to offer on another day. If it is the
*position of the House, as I suppose it is, to
adjourn, I shall have no objection to the reso
lutions lying upon the table, to be called up on
1.4 first occasion—say on Monday, or whenever
an opportunity may occur.
'The SPRAKF.R. This debate is out of order.
The motion of-the gentleman from Philadel
phia (Mr. Dew) is not in order at this time.
The question is,-"what order will the House
take.upon the resolutions i"
It was moved that the resolutions be • read a
second time.
Mr. WILSON. I understand that the gen
tleman from Allegheny (Mr. Wrr.r.rams) has of
fered joint resolutions, and they lie on the table,
of course.
The SPEAKER. If these be intended as
joint resolutions they will lie over. The Chair
sees nothing in them which necessarily makes
them joint resolutions. "
Mr. WILLIAMS. I am not very familiar
withqattliamentary law, not having had a very
enlarged experience. I desire to know whether
upon a motion to proceed to the second reading
and consideration of these resolutions, they are
not now open to discussion.
The SPEAKER. That is the, opinion of the
Chair. The gentleman from Allegheny (Mr.
WILLIAMS) has the floor.
4'ITERS:ON. If they are joint resoln
tines they mist lie over.
r The SPEAKER. I have justremarked that
I can see nothing in their terms making them
j Dint .resolu lion s:
Mr. .PATTERSON. I would ask my .friend
from Allegheny whether he offers them as joint
resolutions
Mr. WILLIAMS. There are not such in their
terms
Mr. WILSON. I move that the Cleik mark
them as joint resolubions.
Mr. PATTERSON . . That cannot be done
without the consent of the gentleman ton Al
legheny, who offered them.
, The SPEAKER. The gentleman from Alle
gh'eny hais the right to put his resolutions in
such a shape as may suit himself. It is not the .
province of the Clerk to modify their purport.
The . mover of the resolutions can say whether
or not,
they are intended as joint resolutions.
Mr. GORDON. I would like to ask the gen
tleman from Allegheny whether "he intends
that the Senate should concur in these reso
lutions ? If so, they are of course, oint resolu
tions.
Mr. WILLIAMS. That is my intention.
The resolntions were then laid over under the
rge.
• Mr: ARMSTRONG, offered the following re
soludion : •
' Risolved, That - the Judiciary Committee be
and they are hereby instructed to enquire
whether there is any law in force in Pennsyl
vania which conflicts with her constitutional
obligation& to the government of the United
States, or Which prevents or obstructs the due
execution within her jurisdiction of any law of
the United States ; and if there, be- any such
law to - report a bill for its modification or re
peal.
The resolution was read a second time.
Mr. HILL. I conceive the reiolution to bi
out of order at , this time, inasmuch as no Judi-
ciary committee-has yet been appointed by the
House.
_
Mr, ARMSTRONG. The words "when such
committee shall be appointed;" may be added
to the resolution:
MialILL. I move that .the - further consid
eration of the resolution be for the
