There is no essential change from thu cas,

right to veto a repeal bill: that the act was
unconstitutional; that it would not be en-

when Gidding's hour was out. 10 one
offered to reply, but Mr.. Brown, of Pa.
moved that the Committee rise, in order TO
pass a resolution 10 terminate all debate in
committee. This was carried by general
assent. When the House went again into
Committee, five minute speeches were in
order under the rule, and Mr.. McCIernand,
OF ILLINOIS, took occasion to vindicate the
West from the aspersions Of the Ohio DEM
agoguc, denying that the West was hostile

ped. with the rejection OF Gidding's motion.

from Mexico, intends to make claim to his

WASHINGTON. DEC. s

Congress is now a body OF less immediate
%conceintto tho public, than the State Leg
islatures, which now are or are soon to be,
in session. The election OF U.S. Senators,
which ia to occur in nearly one-third of
these bodies, is itsclfa matter OF interest.
Their course too, upon the questions of tho
day, la watched with anxiety. Vermont
has showed that her Legislature was MOTTO
be influenced by Union meetings. In the
Legislatu Of ow-York Massachusetts,
and Ohio, we shall look with some reliance
uponsthe manifestations Of abetter spirit.
Massachusetts has, at length, undergone a
political revolution, and where she ,oiU go,
no one5cantell. The lower House consists
Democrats, 100 Free Sellers, and
I70 Wings. The Senate, OF l3 Wings, ID
Democrats, and Is Free Sellers.
But The proceedings of the Virginia Leg
~islature are here regarded with more inter-
9est than those ofalmost any other State, or
Those even Of Congress. The proposition
of Gov. Floyd is discussed here by every
one. 1t has many advocates, and especially
among the Southern Union men, who say
stliaf. by means Of the proposed TAM, Virginia
will sever the Union, and cocrce the North
! into lHropriety. Virginia sees, and will
seize the opportunity to regain all that she
she has ever lost in relative power. She
will build up her commerce., internal and
foreign, encourage her manufactures, and
developc hor vast mineral resources.
The constitutionality of Gov. Floyd's
proposition to tax the products and goods
brought into the State from the North, is
doubted by many; but, its advocates, draw
ing a distinction between Il tax on consump-
ton and a tax on importation. maintain the
sriglit5of the State to lay taxes on the former.
My information leaves no doubt that the
Legislature will embrace the measure and
carry it out.
The project for reducing the rates of
postage, inland and ocean, will command
tho early attention of Congress. There is
a disposition, as | learn, to go ahead of the
Recommendation of the Post Master General
card adopt the uniform rate Of Inland letter
postage, of two cents, prepaid, for the
FWeighto f half al ounce. II will require an
appropriation from the Treasury. Tor two
yoarss TO- meet the deficiency; but will, after
ihatstimn. refund the sum thus borrowed.
Resides, tho Treasury already owes a sum
of about one million to the General Post
Office. Tho lowerth the rates of postage the
better provided the revenue will support,
the department.

The proceedings Of the Georgia Convention
are beginning 10 nsstime some interest.
MIR. Sewanl, of Thomas, presented a long pre-
nmhlc and resolutions. In the former he is un-
sinringly severe upon Mr.. Toombs for his change
OF policy, and thinks il may b. attributed to the
advent of another Presidential campaign. I'm
the resolutions he declares the attachment OF
Georgia TO n Union established by the Consiitu-
ton, and asserts that while the North deny us
our rights under that Constitution, il is not the
true policy of the South To unite with them i'm
their political caucusscs, or to form national
party associations. The resolutions nrc firm,
hut 10y no means rnbid or ultra. In South. Car
olina, they would be- considered weak. But
they were too strong for the party Of Georgia, and
The Convention refused to take them up by a vote
Of l27 10 81.
The Committee Of Thirty-three, to report ac-
tion 10 the Convention, made their report on Fri
day. The report is said To be n survey Of the
entire subject, and is accompanied by n series of
resolutions, in which the principles laid down in
