THE LEGISLATURE.

In the Senate, on Monday, the resolutions on Slav-
ey passed by the Honse, being under consideration,
Col. Merrck of Worcester, offered two resolutions
substitute for them, which embody views
nearly than any other, and in opinion the best
vet proposed. The subject laid upon the table for
the purpose Of having the substitute printed.
The proceedings the House, on the subject Of the
complaint from the Senate against Gen Wilson, have
already been laid before readers The feeling in the
the House almost unanimous in favor Of Gen. Will
son, and leading members of the Wing party did not
hesitate openly speak in the conemptuous terms
Of the whole procedure against him, and, when the
question put upon the amendment the report Of
the committee, the house rung with the sound of the
yeas, while the nays few and scattering, that
no count was asked. 1t was the same on the adoption
of the answer, as amended.
When the reply of the House was communicated by
its messenger to the Senate Senator Hiliard the orig
na Of the proceedings, rose and offered series
of four petsh resolutions intended apply the
but not referring in terms directly to it. This Sena
tor has acquired credit, that any honorable man
would aspire to- by his attempt to muzzle the press
His own parzans despise his course, and dsclaim all
responsibility for it. They do rest here, but speak
contemptuously of him, and some Of them APPLY the
epithe Of 'sMiss Nancy him in their pape-s. Dur
ing the discussion of the answer, in the House, he left
his in the Senate and seen hanging about the
House, without the bar watching eagerly the
the debate scuding occasionally and calling out those
who had spoken, and conversng earnestly with them
and, altogether, conducting a little comport
ing with the gravity which becomes the dgnifed sta
f;o of 0neo f tho Taulo
papera has very appropriately remarked, that, is
pity that with much Of literary requirement ant
cultivated taste should possess, herewith, It'll
portion of common sense.
The bill to set off Deacon Chaplin and four or fiv
other farms from Worcester to Auburn, passed to
third reading in the house Monday. In the orgina
act of Incorporation of Ward now Auburn these farm
included within the lines of that town, but it wa
provided, that, so long the thereof chose
they might remain attached to Worcester. The hi
changes that provision and attaches them absolutely
Auburn, against their unanimous remonstrance.
The bill to increase the capital stock Of the Norwc
Worcester Rail Road has been passed to be engros
ed, in the house, by strong vote. The question
the extension Of the Canal Rail Road, which rur
through the Pennington River valley, in Connectic
was under discussion in the house, yesterday. I'll
great question is, whether its northern terminus, whe
it intersects the Western Rail Road shall be at Yves
field West Springfield and no question Of the sessc
has excited more feeling given rise exertic
to influence the opinions of members. II the terminl
should be at Westfed, it will be chiefly for local al
commodation; if at West Springfield, it viii make
through route between New Haven and the northel
and eastern parts ofAassachusctts, and it will be-
some extent, a competing route for that travel, wit
the Hartford and New Haven Road.
