ExPuScISG RESOLUTION
MIR CHOPPER moved to take up and consider the
resolution which he had offered the other day in.
srncing their Senators vote for the repe,I Of IN.
ENpunsing Resolutions.
Mr STEPHENSON OF Tyler, opposed the taking
upoi lhese resolutions at the present time IL sure
~ was their duty now to proceed with the business
! OF the House. They had come 20 the 6ftieth d,v
OF the session. and Loust yet without n repro-
seu'HuNe, lhere was now no necessity to post
pone the business of the House, by attemptins IN
procure the resembling of those odious r,solu,ors
The majority OF the Senate were vet composod oC
gentlemen Of the Jackson and Van Buren, n,r,v
ahu II was worse Than useless TO ask them TO undo
Their own work. The resolution could he ne we'll
taken up some three weeks hence wIer thew had
got through the pressing business OF the session ns
now, and then it should have his cordial support.
Mr. ROBERTSON would also recommend the most
ponement OF the consideration of this resolution for
the present, although hc wasas anxious as any man
mat II should be acted upon and that the State Of
N'rsini, which had been the first to urse ON The
odious measure, should be the first to re,race her
steps. lie thought, independently of the s,otc az
business IN that House, that there was an impro-
pretty IN the House passing the resolution that dav
SO as TO seem 10 connect the election of Mr. Rives
with the passage of that resolution
Mr. CRcrPER thought that scarcely any discus
SION could arise on the resolution, and as he had
already once postponed the matter at the request
OF ms wing friends, he could not again do So
Mr. BArLr was surprised that the gentleman
rom ~ yer should at last have discovered that II
was proper that Louisa should be represented ON
that hopr lie could sec no reason for deav. the
wings had 4 majority of ten in that House and
could pass the measure If they ielt disposeJ. and
there was no earthly reason why they should not
do 50 now.
Me- MGRAE argued in favor of posiponemen,.
MIR IERBI was IN favour Of proceeding directly
TO wipe out the stain
Mr. TUssTALL was in favor of delay, and depre-
eated the course pursued in wasting the lime of that
House IN eglsliting not for the interests Of tb.i,
constituents and the good of the State but for the
federal Government. lie trusted that his frie,d
from Accomac would Withdraw his motion mil
thty had some OF the business OF the House dis
posed al, and until the election contests yyere cc;
ded'-he was the more anxious to do so as an at.
tempt would be made to tack amendments TO his 70.
solution, which might cause them to waste another
week in iruitess debate.
Mr. CHAPMAN should vote for taking up the re.
ton. F
Mr. TAYLOR, of Norfolk, was in favor of imms.
