would affirm the decision Of the committee. Now as
he believed that the election was void, and ought

in their hands. Ifthey TO wait until all the con-

VIRGINIA BANK.
Mr. ROBERTSON, in long speech which we shall
hereafter give, replied Mr. May and defended the
President of the Bank and urged the carrying Of the
amendment for indefinite postponement.

the resolution of the Committee Banks, THAT the
interests of the Commonwealth require that DR.. John

The motion for indefinite postponment was therefore
lost.
The question now came up upon the original motion,
when Mr. TorER moved the following amendment:
Resotced, That while the President Of the Bank Of
Virginia. has been guilty of grave neglect and omission
of duty yet under existing circumstances, the Execn-
tive having unqualified discretion in the appoint
ment of the four State Directors, and the Stockholders
at their late annual meeting having already elected five
Directors favorable to his reappontment as President
of that Bank it is inerpcdent that this House advise
that the power Of the State shall be exercised to
prevent his reelection TO that office.
Upon this question the ayes and noes were called,
and resulted as follows:

Mr. DsnyEY moved 10 suspend the rule that the
vote just taken might be reconsdered;-he understood
that there were some gentlemen who had voted under
misapprehension, and it right that they should
have opportunity Of altering their vote.
Mr. CRopPER hoped the House would not suspend the
rule-from the first there had been settled purpose
to avoid coming to decision in the case, for the pur
pose of shielding this humbug, the Bank President.
Mr. GREGORY opposed the molion-but Mr.. WILEY
having stated that he wished to change his VOTE having
recorded under nisappehenslon the vote was again
taken, and the amendment was carried

Mr. TuxsrA1L would explain the reason why he vo-
ed for the amendment. The stockholders had acted,
and had elected him, and he was willing to give some
respect to SO large and intelligent body, and he was
also anxious to set bright example to that party whose
fayourte doctrine and practice had been prescription
He trusted that after this they should hear any
more of Bank bought Wings; and if any Democrat
should enquire of him which the Bank-bought Pnr
ty. he would send him DIR. John Brockenbrough for
