VIRGINIA LEGIsLATORE
HOUSE OF DELEG ATEs.

! Thursday. Dee. 29.-Mr Rives OF Camp.
bell called up the resolution offered by him some
days ago, for the sppoin ment OF standing com
mi'tee of the House on the subjects of .'Agricnl.
ture and Manufactures. - The House rel .cied
the motion to add "Commerce'' The adoption
OF the resolution opposed by Messrs Epps,
Wiichsr and Gholson, and supported by Messrs
Rives, Mat-hali, Patleson, Miller, Crump of Cum.
oeriand, and Booker. II was argued that there
vas necessity for such committee, as the
committees OF the House were sufficiently rume-
| rous that the few applications made on the sub.
lecis of Agriculture and Manufactures, could be
| referred either to a sleciai committee or TO the
committee OF propositions and grievances; that
! ibe creation oil such committee would increase
/ The applications that " ould be made TO the Lee
sisiatuie - The Legislature could do nothing in
favor OF Agriculture and Manufactures, but 10
grant interpretations and confer monopOlies; that
IL was not veiy material TO the Agricultural yYhe
'her his earnings went into the hand, oil a u rth-
ern or southern monopolst; and il was conier..-
/ ed That the formation oil a standing committee OF
the House would indicate, in the public mind
determination on The part of the House, to encou-
rage Manufactures, by acting upon the principles
! against which Virginia had go long protested.
! On The other side II was insisted, that appli-
cations hal heretofore been made 10 incoI poIaie
agricultural and manufacturing societies, they
would continue 10 be made, and especially since
! The public mind was much engaged on Maui
iactnres; that all such applications, instead OF
consuming the time OF the House by the appoint
ment Of SPECIAL committees, ought TO be referred
10 standing committee, selected for their ability
anu knowledge OF such subjects so that consI.
derins the proposition for mere diyis on
oil labor, to fac lrate the progress Of the public
business, II ought TO prevail. The resolution was
passed by ayes and noes-.l06 10 rs. The
speaker then appointed committee on Agricul.
