The EeieciionS.

Mr. Martin moved to RECONSIDER the vote Of tie
House, few days since, posiponng indefinitely the
bill changing the lime of holding the elections
lof members Of Congress and Of the General As
semby.
Mr.. Martin said have arisen, Mr.. Speaker, for
the purpose OF moving reconsideration OF the vote
by which this House, few days since, postponed,
indefinitely bull providing change III the iline OF
holding the elections for members OF the Legislature
and for Congress this State aud will briefly state
the reasons operating on me- and which have Undue
ed to submit this proposition. When sub
ntted to the Legislature, IN the early part OF It's
session, resolution proposing to change the time OF
The annual meeting Of the Legislature, and also the
time Of holding the elections, my object was 10 re-
instate that OF things which had been co-exten-
sye with our institutional mean the meeting in
December, and the elections on the respective court
days IN April | have been enabled to accomplish at
least part Of my Objection this House has decld-
ed, by a very large ma jorIty, that The annual
sessions Of the Legislature hereafter shall commence
on the first Monday III December; and 1t has also
decided, by small majority that It Is nexpedien TO
change the time OF holding the election or the court
DAYS. After that decision, | preferred the elections
remaining as they and therefore moved TO fill the
blank in the bill with the fourth Thursday IN April,
and subscquenyyoted for the indefinite post poennent
of the bill, which produced the sane result But
subsequent reflection aud consultation with many
gentlemen in the House have convinced me that the
elections for the present year should be deferred to
a latter period--and my present purpose is, if the
House should consider the vote, to move that the e.
leclions for Members the State Legislature and
Tor Congress during the present year, shall be held
on the lth Thursday in May, aud on the 4ih Thurs
day in April thereafter, as am confident the court
DAYS cannot be reinstated. We told from Head
Quarters, that the people from the sea-board to the
mountains, in state of excitement, and think
in justice them well to their public servants.
ample time should be given for he discussion and in
vesgation of the exciting, important and unprece-
dented issues which will be presented to the people
OF Virginia for their decision at the next election.
| think i, is due TO gentlemen who ars candidates
