The senate this day returned to the house
the resolution, poviding that The mem!

accompanied by message, stating the
reasons .of the dissent in the following
terms: q
"The senate are not aware Of any law or
practice which authorises the members Of
the general assembly to receive compensa-

has been, so far as the senate are informed
on the subject, an universal practice to fix

journal of accounts.
"The senate cannot therefore, perceive
sty reason for asserting TO resolution pro-
viding, "that the members of the assembly,
and the officers attached thereto. shall not
be allowed pay during tie recess" This
supposition is undoubtedly true hut a, it
has never been denied, nor is in danger of
being c0ftraSened, the senate can sec no
reason for passing resolution which Will
be productive of no practical result!
s'The senate, therefore, cannJt doubt,
bu, that your honorable house will, upon
farther consideration, concur in the propri-
etyof abstaining from passing a fesolutiou-
which simply prohibits the members OF the
legislature from receiving compensation in
the recess Of the legislature, which never
has been and probably never will be at
tempted.
"Under these impressions, the senate re-
spectively return herewith the resolution
OF the house of delegates yesterday, with
their dissent.
"The senate, accommodating their dis
sent to the resolution for the reasons before
stated, cannot, however, but highly apPre-
ciate the motive which they suppose indu-
ced your honorable body to pass the resolu
ton. A solicitude to relieve the public
treasury, was no doub, the motive, AMI to
accomplish this desirable object, the senate
are willing TO concur with you in making a
seasonable reduction Of the per diem allow
ance of the members of the General Assem-
bly,"
1t thus appears, that in the opinion Of the
senate, the late adjournment of the assem-
bly, was not recess; and they have accord.
i1gly treated the proposition of the house on
that ground. 1t will probably be brought
, forward again expressed in different terms.

The honse Of representatives, after ballot
ing severaltimes for a speaker, without any
of the several members voted for obtaining
majority, adjourned at a late hour without
making a choice. During the time of the
balloting governor Clintonwas waiting with
his speech, ready to deliver it TO both hou-
ses, as soon as the necessary act of choosing
speaker should be performed. The dis
appointment of the governor, in being pre-
vented from delivering his speech at the
time expected, was attended by an awk-

had been put into the hands ola printer, and
twas actually published before it could be
delivered to the legislature. II is stated by

lon II. Shepherd, ESQ., Would our limits ner.
| plt we should be gratifed in re-publishing the
whole Address. The extract however, will be
read with interest.--Ed. Con Journal.
We are told, that the price Of labor in
this country forbids departure from the
usual habits Of farming, and therefore we
must continue in the old way.
To my mind this is strong argument
lin favor OF adopting a new method. Is
your labor dear then make it cheap, by
|enriching your land until the labor OF one
man will then give you four. In such
case We shall hear no complaint on this
subject. Where labor is very cheap,
poor land may be wrought with profit,
but where dear it is otherwise.
Let us further examine this subject, and
endeavour TO draw our deductions from
probable facts, and we shall readily per-
ceive the soundness of the argument.
Suppose A. plants with Indian corn
twenty acres of ordinary poor land B.
his neighbor plants five acres we'll ma
