VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.

VIRGINIA LE(IlSlIA " NE.
HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
Mr. Carter of Prince William, offered the fol.
lowing:
Rescued, by The Senate and House Of Delegates,
yha, if any Member in either branch OF the Le-
risla,ure. SHALL during the session OF that branch
of The LEGISLATURE to which he belongs, absent
himself from the seat Of Government, either
with or without leave Of such branch OF the Lee
pisla,ure, it shall not be lawful for such member
20 draw paw for such day or days OF absence.
RESOLVED also, That it shall be the duty OF the
Clerk previous TO his delivering TO any mem
Der. a certificate Of the amount that may be due
him from the Treasury, to ascertain from such
member, the time, if any, that he may have
been absent, and to modify the certificate aceor'
ding to the provision Of the above resolution.
Mr.. Cols,on moved unsuccessiuliy 20 strike
out the second resolution. He then called Tor
division Of the question; thinking the last res
olution would place the clerk in delicate SIT
uation.
MIR. Holleman moved 10 amend the trst res
olution so as to inser, the words hour or hours,
when speaking Of the time absent--negatired.
Mr.. Watkins Of Prince Edward. moved TO
strike out the words from the Seat Of Government
agreed to IS to g.. ~
Mr.. Miller, looking on the imputation upon
tho character Of the House, moved to lay the
Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1827-02-19

resolutions on the table. He thought the pres
ent law met the views OF the mover.
MIR. Carter remarked, that there was differ.
ence of opinion as TO the present law. Some
Members thought themselves entitled to pay
| when absent for day or two without leave, and
also when absent with leave-others though,
differently. fIe thought there ought to be no
difference in the practice on this subject, and
that declaration of the opinion of the House
was necessary.
Some further conversation took place, in
which Messrs. Coston, Ship, Carter and Wal
lace took part 1t was urged that resolution
could not affect law, and would not be binding
on future legislatures. The latter thought the
law explicit enough, it allowed pay for every
davis attendance ON The House, and he thought no
man could consider himself in attendance when
absent. Mr.. Davis of Hanover, opposed the
resolutions. and wished 10 lay them on the Ia
BILE. and in reply 10 Mr.. WIS remark, said, that
members drew pay for the sabbath, when not
in attendance. The resolutions were laid on
the tablr-S6 10 70.
Circuit Court BM-Mr. Winslon's motion to
reconsider the vote, rejecting the Circuit Court
Bill, was again taken up. MIR. Stephenson,
called for the previous question. On this mo-
ton Mr. Gholson called for the ayes and noes,
which being taken, MIR. SIS. call was sustained.
o5 to "a.
Mr. Gholson took the Aoor in opposition to
the bill. He was followed on the same side by
Mr.. Mason, o. Frederick-Mr. Craig having
been unsuccessful in an attempt to get the floor
to call for the previous question. MIR. Win
ston supported the bill at length, and offered a
rider, providing that the Judges Of the General
Court. when chosen and commissioned as such,
shall &C, as Judges in Chancery. The rider was
passed 10 its engrossment--and after few re-
marks from Mr. Colston in opposition to the
bill. MIR. Mason, OF Fairfax, moved to lay the
bill on the table This motion prevailed-and
then The House ad lourncd.

From me NQIlOndt lMetHSEHcT, ItO TO-
We publish to-day two Of the dispositions
which accompanied the Report OF the Com
mit,ee of Investigation, in the House OF Repre-
sentatives, the publication Of which is supposed
10 be necessary, since the publication OF Mr..
McDuFFIE's Letter to the Committee, TO just
view of one branch Of that investigation.
We embrace the occasion to express our sur
prise that MIR. MeDuffie, in his letter to the
Committee Of Investigation, should have allud-
ed to the National Intelligencer in such man
ner as 10 leave an inference that this paper was
engaged in course of proceeding preJudlclal
to the fame of the Vice President, a: the IN
stance, or by conniyance, oil the Secretary OF
War. We should have thought, OF all men IN
the universe, Mr. CALHOUN was the last towards
whom zoe could be accused OF untairness or un-
! friendiiness. lie has never, under whatever
Drovoc alton Of his associates devoted friends,
received from US any thing but courtesy and cl-
yilitv. In our controversies heretofore with
his supporters, when they have assalled US, he
has been eft untouched. When his conduct
has been impeached, recently as well as former
~. our columns have been thrown wide open
for his defence. When others, even tried per-
| sopal friends Of ours, have sought to pursue
him in our columns, our columns have been
closed against them. Many time and oft we
have Gisinterestedly stood between him and his
adver saries, and, under these circumstances, 1t
NAV be imagined, we have no relish Tor the
sort of visitation which our conduct towards
HIM has drawn down upon US from his author
lied friend We had supposed our course had
been so direc, and fair in regard to him, that
even an enemy Gin which lgh, we have no rea-
son to regard MIR. McDufis) could not mistake
it, ,,,.
In Justice to that honest and true hearted Viz
ein;an who presides over the WarDeparlment,
il is proper for US to say, perhaps, that we have
never held with him an instant's conversation,
nor any commune alton, direct or indirect, writ
ten or oral, on the subject of Mix's letter, pre-
yious. (nor subsequent, that we rememoer) TO

The circumstance OF Mr.. Clay's being in
the house when the letter was read, has been
used by Mr.. Calhoun, in his Telegraph, as cor
roboration of the base charge that the Admins.
,ration had procured the presentation Of Mix
letter at the Department of War, and It's sub
sequent Publication in this paper. This, Doc
tor Floyd and Mr.. Calhoun knew to be false,
for they both acknowledged themselves salts
fed with Mr.. Barbour's explanation, and that
explanation left no room for such an imputa-
ton. Still the one in his letter and the other
in his report hold out the idea that the publca-
tion of the letter was official, and that the
charges contained in the letter itself were not
only made the basis Of an official act, but we're
recorded in the Department as evidence of
Mr. Calhoun's guilt. Why was this said?-
They pretend to acquit Mr.. Barbour; but,
through the Telegraph, Mr.. Clay is still as
sailed. How, we ask, in the name of common
sense, could Mr.. Clay be guilty and Mr.. Bar.
bour innocent. The charge is too preposteroas
TO merit attention, and it is only adverted to,
because i, was made by Doctor Floyd, and
Mr.. Calhoun, whose consciousness of acting
under dishonorable arrangement may account
for their suspecting Others.
Mr. Richie, the mouth piece OF the Rich
nond Jun,o, remarked, some days ago, that the
Presidents late message concerning the Creek
Indians, was no, the production OF a statesman,
and that puritan might have penned tine can't
ing phrase about ga superadded obligation, even
higher than that of human authority, &c." In
reply TO this, the Editor Of the Commercial Ad-
ver,iser says,-"For ourselves, il the Presidents
Message relative to the Greeks and Georgians,
be puri,anical, we should like to enrol ourselves
with the puritans If such exalted sentiments.
and such Roman frmness OF purpose, are the
consequences Of puritanism, long may we have
a puri,anical President If the opposition wish
TO break down the President they must attack
him in more vulnerable point than that mes
sage. That document will form one of The
brightest leaves in the chaplet with which the
muse of history will entwine the brow of its
author"

versation, assert positively and unblushingy that
their mild and darling candidate, will have an over
whelmng majority at the next Presidential Election,
isto misead the wavering portion ofthe public 1t
is well known, that many thousand voters on every
great political question, suffer themselves to be gui-
ded by what they term, the strongest side. Hence
it is, that the bold and daring friends ofgenera jack
son, proclaim his success in anticipation. The re-
suit will be otherwise, have no hesitation in be-
eving, and they dread it. The late elections in
Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania strong
indications of the increased and increasing strength
of the Administration. Good order and regular
government, must and will prevail, over anarchy,
despotism and turbulence. Let the people look dis
passionately at the subject +.
