we are compelled TO- omit Monday proceedings.
Nothing, however, of general importance was per-
fected in either Heuse.g InItbe Senates the bill to
auaendlthes Common School law was taken up and
after having been torn pretty much - to pieces,
ply amendmens and so on, it was laid upon the ta-
Bile. In the Commons, on the same day., the bill to
establish Medical Board ii, this State passed its
third reading by the casting vote Of the Speaker-
Mr. Cad Jones,J ia the Chair The same body
also rejected; It's second reading. by 50
,ts Aes the bill making the inn
Ipreyament of the Cape Fear and Deep Rivers.
f Phe Resolutions reported by Mr. Dobbin, on the
subject Of Slavery, are still before the Commons !;
and ON Monday last Mr.. Shepard introduced the
Resolutions into the Senate. He spoke of the i'm
poance of passing them at the earliest moment and
Said hewas prepated to- vote upon: them at once.
On his motion they were made the order of the day
for yesterday, at eleven O'clock. - i;-s,s5 ..e
There is rumor in town---for the correctness of
which, however, we do not vouch--that Mr.. Senator
Badger has given his friends to understand that if
these Resolutions passed he will resign his seat
Whether this ruor be true or false, the RESOLUTIONS
WiH pass and then we shall see-what we shall see.
, No final action has yet been taken in the contest
ed elections from Orange and Surry. The Committee
ia the former will doubtless report in the course
Of few days Thes prevailing impression is that
Capt Berry viii retain his seat. 60 81 = ,.ti.s-g /.
There is much talk among the members in regard
to called session. for the purpose perecting some
general scheme of Internal improvements. The in
dications of public sentiment, the course of very
few months after the adjournment will doubt be of
such character as to enable Gov. Manly to Judge
correctly to the propriety of such step and in
deed if nothing should be done with the Raleigh and
Castor Road, and if efficient measures adopt
ed to increase the States income, extra session
will be the next thing to necessary result.
i p. S. We have only room to add, that in the
Senate yesterday, the Resolutions introduced by
Mr.. Shepard Monday, on the subject of Slavery,
came upsfor consideration, and were advocated by
chat gentleman in an able and powerful Speech. On
efourth Resolution, denying to Congress the con-
tienaI powertto legisate Ion the question of
Sayery' the vote was, in the affirmative and
two in the negative-Me Albright and Daniel;
and Messrs. Gilmer and Thompson of Bertie declining
70 vote. The other Resolutions passed unanimously.
On motion of Mr. Bethel. rules were suspended,
and the Resolutions read third time and passed.
: In the Commons, on neyesterday, the vote by which
the bill to establish Medical Board in this State
was passed, was re-copsidered; datheu said bill
was postponed indefinitely. The Cape Fear and
Deep River bill was also re-considered, and laid on
the table = h.'Nl'-.st' '-7.I :. -
