HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE.

The night Session of Wednesday, and the
morning session Of Thursday. were chiefly
consumed in debates on the Bank Question, in
which B. Y. Martin. Lake, J. P. Reid, and
Irby, participated. We cannot attempt to fol
low this discussion. which bids fair to be inter
minable. Mr.. Martin in opposition TO the
Bank, displayed much ability as did Mr.. Reid,
in support of different views. The latter gen.
tlcman declared that he "was neither Bank
nor an anti. Bank mamie was one of those
who did not understand the question: frank
confession applicable to many who pretend to
know a great deal about it. The array OF

to all kinds of notifications and amendments,
but to no avaiI-the two first being adoped-
the third mndfed-and the fourth rejected.
In their original shape, the Resolutions ran

to be appointed by the Governor, whose duly
it should be to select suitable young persons
throughout the Stale to be educated at the pun
lie eyppnse-the sum of $4,000 being annually
appropriated for this purpose.
This bill came up on its second reading
when Mr.. All>ton took occasion briefly but
clearly TO explain his noble ohject-'he educa'
ton of teachers for the poor-a work ot s'r'k'
ing benevolence and chari,y,whlch the pl'tance
asked for was barely enough TO commence.
Mr.. A. explained that the bill had heeh
framed in conformity with The recommendation
contained in the Governors Message No. /.
which it was thought could in this manner be
best carried into practical operation.
Mr.. Fielder, who piques himself on being
anti everything, as usual opposed the bill, IN
one of the most remarkable speeches, which
an educated man ever made anywhere on Inc
stump.
Mr.. Manning, from the special committee on
slavery. submitted the same report when Will

In THE SENATE.

FRIDAY, Dec. l6.
There was much discussion on the Bank
question, in which Messrs. Buchanan and Eel
der participated. The former gentleman took
ground in favor of that insttution-the latter
against it. ... ."
The Bill reducing the salary Of the Adlutant
General to $500, also ELECTED much debate.
Mr.. Moses proposed the substitution Of g..
600 for $500 which was adopted, and the
Bill was sent back to the House with this
amendment by a vote of 81 to lS.
An appropriation Of $500 to the Military
Academy was agreed to by the Senate, and sent
TO the House for concurrence.
The question as to the adoption OF The
House Resolutions, relative to The Wilmot Pro.
yiso was then taken up, and the Resolutions
concurred in unanimously. after some opposition
from Messrs. Marshall, Moses and Black-the
latter gentleman in'ima,ins that be would
bring up stronger Resolutions at subsequent
period.
Mr.. Eaves in n short but fiery bu st, express.
ed very strongly his view of the coming crisis,
aud The readiness of this State to meet it.
The objections of Messrs. Marshall, Black
and Moses, were to the wording OF The Reso-
lulions--,hey did not regard them as strong
enough. -
MIR. Manning who in another capacity as
Chairman of the Committee on Federal Rela.
tons, had introduced very different Resolutions,
overslaughed by those reported by him from
the Joint Committee, stated that he had given
way to preserve harmony a!so-whlch concert

This amendment gave rise to warm discus
sion. Mr.. Mitchell pressed it warmly. MIR.
Memmihger opposed it in the first place as nu:
gatory, and after examination, as destructive OF
the real intent of The Resolution.
Several gentlemen spoke earnestly and we'll
on the subject Of State faith, and the necessity
ofkceping its reputation unassalled. among
those Mr.. Simmons was most conspicuous, and
brcathed the true doctrine oil the much scoffed
at Southern chivalry-lhat the honor of Slate
or individual should he priced high above any
mere mercenary considerations ofproht or loss.
The impressive dignity of his manner, the lofty
tone of his sentiments, and the cloqnence OF his
words, all combined 10 produce decided i'm
preston upon the House, and caused sundry
gentlemen to shake in their shoes. Observing
this impression, Mr.. Adams adroitly interposed
an arnr ,dment, sounding like Mr.. Mitchel1s
but very different in substance, to tie following
effect: -. ...
"tnd It is declared at this time, that this
General Assembly does not regard such drca-
ration OF opinion as calculated, or intended 10
violate the faith of the State, or The security OF
the Foreign Creditor" .r. ..alJ
The Resolution with this amen !nrni attach
ed passed the House by vote Of 66 to 49,.
After which the House took a recess OF an
hour for dinner. the discussion of which had
bscn so long delayed. MD
The night session was occupied with the u.s.
reading of the Appropriation bin, which occ.'
stoned some discussion. The appropriation

~ THE SENATE.
THURSDAY, Dec. IA.
The Bill giving the Election of Electors to
the people. was taken up and read, and after
receiving several amendments was put to the
vote on a call for the yeas and nays. 1t was
los, by majority of one, % voting for and 70
against its adoption. We regard this vote as
decisive of the success of the measure, for not
only is i, great gain on all preceding votes
bu, one of the gentlemen who voted against it,
declared himself in favor of the proposed
change, though deeming it unnecessary to pass
il a, the present Session. The measure must
finally prevail, for the people will have it SO.
The Auti.Wlmol Provso Resolutions passed
by the House were then taken up, and the
manner in which they were received, indicated
a fixed opposition 10 their adoption on the part,
of at least uome members of the Senate, and
those not the least influential.
