SENATE, FRIDAY, Nov. 8
 1Er Nicely introduced bill to repeal an act interference 10 roads and oyerseers thereof
 Mr. Tfimble introduced a bill to postpone the time of holding inc November term of the Circuit Court of lIempstead county which was lead first and second time.
 Message from the House, informing the Senate that the House had rescinded the res olution to go into the election of U. s. Sena- tor on Saturday next, and agreed to go into said election this afternoon at 3 o'clock. In which the Senate concuwed.
 Mr. Smith introduced the following:
 Resolccd, Sc, That any law passed by Congress to distribute the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, or any part thereof, among the States of this Union, is contrary to the letter and violative of the spirit of the constitution of the United States.
 It inGinges the rights, and subverts the interest of individuals.
 It destroys the sovereignty of the States, bringing them into dependence on the Fede- ral Government for their revenue. It takes away the responsibility of members of the State Legislatures to their constituents, by enabling them 10 appropriate money without having the people 10 raise it. Itis an unjust law, 1t takes the burhen of taxation from property and wealth, and places it on indus try and labor and the necessares of life.
 And the inevitable result of such laws would be 10 break down and destroy our State Governments, and blend them all in our general empire; the expenses of which would be raised by impost and tariff laws fal- ling upon the industrial and laborng classes instead of resting on the luxury, the wealth, and the property of the country.
 ReSoiUrd, That our Senators in Congress be instructed, and our Representative request ed, 10 oppose any such law.
 Res0Ircd, That the Governor of Arkansas forward to each of our members in Congress 9 copy of these resolutions.
 Mr. Smith supported his resolutions, by very able speech; taking up each distinct and bringing to its support many sound arguments, historical and political facts and illustlations-proving him to be not only we'll acquainted with the particular subject under discussion, but man of fine general 
 Aflerh concluded, ,Mr Trimble addressed the Senate aganst the resolutions. He said, however, that he was not prepared to make regular speech upon the resolutions, nor to vote upon them at that time; and therefore asked the Senate to lay them on the table until Wednesday next-which was done.
 The Senate then took recess until3 o'clock, at which time they proceeded 10 the House for the purpose of going into the election for +l ,I4 of the proceedings of the House on. to-day
 On Saturday, Nov. 9th, the Senate did nothing of importance except assist in the inauguration of his Excellency Gov. Drew.

and although the utter fasty OF this charge has been

it up in popular garb for electoneerng purposes The
