TgscALoosA-We have dates to-day from Tus- caoosa of the l4th inst. On the 18th preamble and joint resolutions were introduced into the Senate, by Mir. Baylor of Jefferson, rejecting the proceeds arising to this from the act of congress for the distribution of the public lands The preamble as- serts that that nvades the rights of the states and that, how much the views of other states may differ respecting tho bill, Alabama will ''remain uninAuenced by their action and never by our aceep- lance of the prOfered br'be sanction the dangerous and immoral maxim that the end justifes the means. We do this because we hold our honor and indepen- dsnce above all price, and because we entertain fixed and unaterable determination to maintain them irrespective of all future consequences"

 And he it further Resolved by the authority afore- said, That the Governor of this be requested to forward A copy of the foregoing Preamble and Reso- utons to the Governors of the several states of this Union, and also to each of and represen iatives in congress.
