structingfhe committee or elections to re-
port 8 'bitlamsuding the present law regulat-
Jag elections, so as torequire voting to be
81 ballot, and continuing elections only one

Mr.. Tut asked that the resolution lie on

of.the House should be taken.
Mr.. Cofey was understood to object to

present was as favorable an opportunity to
test the sense Of the House as was likely to
arise.
Mr.. Keunett expressed himself opposed
to the ballot system; and wished that the
resolution might not be adopted. He said
the time had arrived when it was highly
necessary that every voter should 80 give
bis vote that ell might know how he exer-
cised his suffrage.
Mr.. Hunter moved 20 lay the resolution
on the table.
Mr. Sims moved to lay the resolution on
the table until the last of February, and
upon this motion the ayes and noes were
called.
Mr.. Crockett, without indicating what
course he would finally take, said he should
vots against laying on the table. The SUBJ
ject was an important one, and he desired
to have the question discussed. He had no
wish to suppress debate on q matter Of
such general interest.
After some conversation. in which Messrs.
Smith, Of Linn, King and Minor took
part, the vote wss taken on laying the re-
solution on the table, which resulted as fol-

Iin circulatien,) but 'that some were attempting
10 tniurs my election by parious reports, among
which was one that I had declared my intention
to vote for Clark Fagg for Representative"
/ have always found it unnecessary to notice
Thousands Of idle runors, that float about through
the world without author or foundation. So long
they do no injury but finally they may fall upon
the ears Of enuious, deceitful and malignant men,
WHOSE tongues never tire in the work Of detrac-
ton, until their victim is Frustrated. Whenthis
is the case, it is high time that the subject Of
their malice, should commence the vindicaiiOn Of
himself, The application is easily made.
The certificate Of Patton, however, is most
unfortunate for Judge Berkeley in another re-
spcet. 1t shows conclusively that this vague
rImor, OF report, in its first ineeptiQr, received
me a Hat contradiction, even in my family
circle.
The next and only thing that I shall mention
is the certificate of Mr.. Fagg, which Judge Betk-
ley parades as evidence oil a prirdts converse
tiOn between him and myself, several weeks a'
forwards.
Mr.. Faeg, in his certificate, states that with
personal and political friends, Eyes, FRIENDS a.

purpose of taking a "social glass;" when some
one proposed "success 10 him in the canvass"
at which instant I stepped in and desired 10 drink
that toast also" The fact shat Mr.. Fsgg was at
the time a candidate, young, and ready to believe
that every body was going for him, and had just
made his maiden effort, upon which he and his
numerous political friends, were perfectly intoxi.
Gated, would sufficiently account for his want Of
a perfect recollection on the subject. 1t also
seems by his own showing, that he wss drink
ing off bumpers with his jolly friends IN the
thing mcst prejudicial 10 human
memory, have not the least idea that MI. Fagg
stated anything but what he thought was true ;
but ell must admit, under tie circumstances, that
il is more than likely his sight may have been
.dimmed, his ears little deafened, and his memo
.ry considerably blunted by the 'noise and confu-
sion" Of his numberless friends, the peculiar
state Of his own mind and the fumes Of good
liquor.
II Mr.. Fagg had seen all that passed, he could
have stated that as l was passing BY the grocery,
without any design at that lime OF going in, l
was called in by some of his friends (of course,
