resentativcs, by motion of Judge Spencer to re-
consider the vote rejecting it. This motion was
carried, 90 to 81, and then by u vote of % 10 SO,
the bill laid the table until the next session
If we understand the secret history of this pro-
ccedng, it this: The friends of State Rights
like Mr.. Carson) boosted complete victory--when
some of those who doubted the expediency of this
particular road but recognized the right to make it
voted for reconsideration, that no false impression
should go forth Perhaps Mr.. Carson aud others
may see in the transaction, the wisdom Of the old
adage-''not to halloo before you get out of the
woods" Their exultation has brought that to life,
which was in a fair way to die. We insert the pro-
Ccedng and the vote from the Journal OF Friday.

claimed victory by those who resisted the power
ofthe General Government to appropriate money Tor
Internal improvements, and because II said that

not TO be called up again at this session.
