SENATE OF VIRGINIA

The debate in the Senate upon the motion indie
hniiey TO postpone the Election Of Senator was on
Wednesday, brought to a close. The speakers in
favor OF the motion were Messrs. Bouldin, Smith
and Atkinsonj against, MIR. Lyons. When the mo-
uon to postpone indefinitely had been rejected, and
Il was expected that the matter would have received

pressed hope that oil who thought the eleotion
should be made at all, would give their SUPPORT To
his motion. This honorable and signal triumph of
patriotism, over the considerations Of party, carried
dismay and confusion into the Democratic C.mp.
and the worthy Senator received the cordial thanks
Of some Of his political opponents, although others
resisted his motion on the ground that several MEM
Oers Of the General Assembly must bnsgoidably be
absent At the tine designated in his motion. NSur
plus William" thought that the Senator stood in
very unenviable position, for he had taken ground
against his own party, had received the praises OF
his opponents, and then been appealed 10 by them 10
iT an earlier day. The short but ma My reply OF Mr..
Baptist created great sensation in the Hall, and
nothing but the strict rules Of the Senate prevented
The audenee from tesiifying their appreciation by
loud cheers. His words were these-GMr Speaker.

MIR. GRANGEp

The statements in respect TO MIR Granger's Abo-
li'ionsm, are unquAlifedly false. We shall. in n
few days, cite ample proof OF the fact, and call upon
the Enquirer, who has made the charge, to publish
them. AT present. we shall conine the evidence TO
what follows: We are authorized by n member Of
Congress-we had as we'll say at once by Mr. Bo,ts
Ito 'Ny that MIR Granger thinks Virginia right, and
Gov. Seward wrong, in the pending conIoveny.-
II will be conceded we presume, that 70 Abolition
Ist is likely TO hold that opinion We are author.

nent distinction, 10 say, that when informed that he
had, IN Richmond, teen charged as an Abolilionst
MIR Granger told Gen. Harrison that lie hoped i
he ever made such a discovery, he would turn him
meek and heels" out Of his Cabinet.
There never was viIsr falsehood and slnnder, as
we shall nbundnntly show. Gen. Harrison's Inau-
eural will take the most decisive grounds against
the Aboltionists, as Gen. Harrison has done for 25
years. None bu, a fool could suppose that in such
a state Of things, Gen. Harrison would appoint an
Abolitonist to his Cabinet.
