Mr.. BATLT said that the matter in dispute be-
| tween the two States wos now under discussion in
the Legislature of n. York, and we had better take
means to procure, as speedily possible, the final
decision. The Select Committee appointed. in this
affair were anxious 10 make report, but the cha.
racter of the report could not be determined upon
until they had ascetaned the result of the subject
under discuss
On motion of Mr. wooD, the House adjourned
until tomorrow at II o'clock.
In our report Of the proceedings yesterday we
| were compelled TO content ourselves in many cases
with announcement ofthe names of members sta.
ting simply whether they opposed or supported the
resolution under discussion. As we may frequent
ly be compelled to take this course we think !. right
| to apprze members Of this fact. Ii We were to give
the Argument Of oil parties, in all cases. the labor
would be much greater than any single reporter
could undertake, and the matter furnished much
more l,nty than VIC could publish. The report
furnished yesterday Of more than average
length, but IN justice TO the gentlemen concerned we
publish the following;
4 Mr.. M Raj, on the resolution proposing 10 in
struct Senators TO introduce and vote for reso-
luiion to rescind the expungng resolutions declar-
| ed his adherence OF the EXpunging process, and
his willingness 10 vote for the resolution rescind
As the case of Louisa, however, which was pending
| before the House. was Of a peculiar character, and
could be disposed Of in a short time, he thought il
should be disposed Of first. He was, however, at
any time, prepared TO meet and sustain the fesou-
| ton TO reScind.
MIR DABSEr expressed himself satisfied with tho
assurances that had been made by the member
from Petersburg, that Mr. Rves was opposed to a
| National BANK, both upon Constitutional grounds
and grounds Of expedency-ttat Mr. II. might be
| relied on to 60 against the charter of such an IN
stitution. lie, Mr. d., was happy, that upon tbs
most important subject the seal OF silence had at last
been broken in reference 10 Mr. RiyeS' opinion, IN
| n manner so clear and distinct, and by one who 10
was satisfied felt himself fully authorized to make,
! in his place here the assurance which he had lust
given. lie therefore deemed any farther act on on
the resolution which he had the honor to submit,
now unnecessary, and was willing, with the peri
| mission Of the House, TO withdraw IL.
