THE LEGISLATURES.

Our readers will find in columns to-day the able
and manly Speech of Mr.. Avery, of Burke, on the
question of Constitutional Reform and the proceed
ings OF the Houses of Monday and Tuesday last,
embracing the very important action of the House
on the question of Equal Suffrage and the amend
ments throw in with view TO enbarrass and defeat
it. We have given full sketches ofthe action of the
House, with every thing of interest in the Senate for
these two days, with the exception of reports Of the
remarks of Messrs. Edwards and Shepard the
Slavery question, which We hope these gentlemen will
write out We prefer to give satisfactory abstracts
of that is done in the two Houses we should
be behind day or SO.
In the Senate on Tuesday, Mr.. Speaker Edwards
offered Resolutions on Slavery, and spoke with his
accustomed force and fervor the question general
ly. He was followed by Mr.. Shepard, who replied
10 Messrs. Gilmer and Haughton the same subject,
literally Kidding their arguments against State
eighty and the right of secession. In the House,
the same day, Mr.. Person, of Moore, delivered one
of the abest Speeches of the session in favor of Equal
Suffrage by Legislative enactment and against Con-
venton. This Speech is spoken of in terms of high
commentator. Gen. Gotten also spoke on Tuesday
in favor of Equal Suffrage; and Mr.. Winston, of
Berthe, took the same side, and opposed Conven-
ton, whether limited or unlimited.
On Wednesday the Governor elect was Inaugural
ted, in presence of both Houses the Judges of the
Supreme Court, and very large audience of both
sexes The oaths of Office were administered by
Chief Justice Ruffn.
In the House, Wednesday, the bill for the re-
lief of purchasers of Cherokee lands, heretofore
jected, reconsidered, and passed its second
reading
In the Senate. on Thursday, Mr.. Shepard conclud-
ed his remarks The Slavery question: and was fol-
lowed in reply by Mr.. Haughton. In the House,
on the same day, Gen. Saunders spoke the same
question with his usual ability and eloquence; and
the conclusion of his remarks the subject laid
over until Friday, when it was expected it would
again come up in Committee of the Whole. In the
House, Thursday, MIR. Erwin, of Buncombe,
offered series Of anti.protecnue Resolutions, which
shall appear in regular proceedings and the Re-
solutions from the Senate calling the general
eminent for appropriation to open Mays Head,
were read second time and passed.
| The two Houses working with much ra-
pidty and earnestness, and the calculation of is
that they will adjourn sine die on the Goth instant
The Senate, it will be seen, have passed Resolution
proposing to adjourn the 18th instant. They may
adjourn on the goth, but incline to the opinion
! mat they will not adjourn before the 9th.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

We trust may be permitted to call upon every
friend of popular rights. in both branches of the AS
sembly, to stand up firmly for Equal Stuff age. The
effort of Mr.. Senator Woodin and others, create
sectional strife and array portion of beloved
State against the other will fret its brief hour up
the stage" and die. We tell gentlemen that the
people determined have Equal Suffrage by le-
gislative enactment, and without the agitation and
the expense incident to Convention; and if they
should defeat it at this session-whch we hold to be
almost impossibe-the question will be pressed,
time and again, until it trumphs.
Tuesday and Wednesday last brilliant days
for the Democracy. The old year went out with
the of Equal Suffrage browning its departing
hours in the House of Commons; and the new year
came in with the Inauguration of the first Democratic
Governor have had for fourteen years. himself the
author and originator of this noble measure. We
shal forget the gallant and determined bear
ing Of the friends of this measure, as exhibited in
the Commons on Tuesday evening last. Promptly
voting down every proposition calculated to clog it,
victory broke upon their efforts. All honor and praise
to these men. say we! Eighty-nine In the afirna-
tive, and twenty-four in the negatve-three-6fths
and twenty to spare! We repeat, let the friends of
the measure hold their ground and press il through
and they will thereby not only carry out salutary
reform demanded by the public voice. but they will
take from sectional agitaofs, like Mr.. Woodn, the
last fmsy pieiext fof urging change In the basis

GOV. REID,s INAUGURAL.

Our readers will find this document in eur paper
to-day. 1t was pronounced, on "Wednesday last, in
the Hall of the House of Commons, and was greeted
by the large audience in attendance with the warmest
demonstrations OF applause.
This admirable document speaks for itself We
approve every word of it, from the first letter to the
last line; and expect to defend the principles it
lays down. and the positions it assumes, under all
circumstances and every crisis. We shall do this,
because its principles right and its positions
rect and just; and we believe they will be sustained
by an overwhelming majority of the people of the
State.
Upon the Slavery questionable most absorbing of
all-Gov. Reid is equally determined and explicit.
He aludes to the wrongs inflicted on the savehold-
ing States by the Federal Government, and declares
that aggressions upon Southern rights have "pro-
ceeded to the artest akowaGte point Here he takes
his stand solemny announcing to the free States that
if dissolution must come they, and they alone, will
be responsible and he the Legislature of his
hearty cooperation in any measures which it, in its
wisdom may DEVISE to preserve the rights of the State
and perpetuats tho Union, according the Consti-
tuition"
But detain readers from perusal of the
document itself. Read it, and then hand it to your
neghbors and let them read also. Ii is just like its
author-plain, frank, candid, and honest and rePlete
with that devotion TO Republicanism and popular
rights, viii CHI has given him SO strong hold upon
the affections of the people generally.
We had the pleasure of seeing number of Demo-
Gratis from distance, who had come up to witness
the Inauguration. All of them, with whom we have
conversed, are well pleased with the sentiments and
principles of the Inaugural Address; and indeed,
era Wings have expressed to their appreciation of
it, and their unqualified concurrence with the Govern
or in his views questions both State and federal

CONGRESS- did not sit either Friday Saiur-
day last. the Houses having adjourned from
Thursday to Monday and it is quite likely that the
same will be done this week, as so many members
are able by the increased facilities for travelling,
spend few days at home during the holydays, that
those who remain at the seat Of Government keep
the legislative ship under very easy SAIL uutil the
re-assembling of the members after New Years day.
1t is not surprising moreover, thata ten months
sion of excitement should, this time, induce
diness TO embrace every opportunity for rest and qui
etude; and this tendency happily furnishes another
guarantee that during the present session, all agita-
ing topics will be avoided, and its remaining two
months be devoted only the proper business of the
country Wa.h. INTEL Dec. 80.
