MoNTPELIER, Dec. 20, 1855.
hereby certify that the foregoing is correct COPY
of the resolutions adopted by tho Gen raj Assembly
- ~ - CHAs. w. WILLARD,
Secretary of State
After the reading of the message and resolutions
Mr. EDMUNDS moved the printing of the usual
number of copies of tho message; but not the reso
lutions -. II
Mr. DOYLE alluded to his position of antagonism
in party sense to Governor WISE; but though diff
fering from him, he regarded him as a man of dis
tinguished ability and true patriotism and however
he might have differed some matters, he con
Cured with him heartily in that now engaging the
attention of the House He was prepared to en-
dorse the sentiments of the message Just read to
their fullest extent The Governor had spoken in a
manner worthy of a Virginian, worthy of South.
ern man, worthy the appreciation of every patriot,
whether at the South or the North. The whole
country knew the character of the reasonable acts
of the State of Vermont, and there was no occa.
sion to print the resolutions The message he de.
sired to circulate extensively; he repeated the ex.
preston of his warm approval of it, and his readi.
ness to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Gov
ernor.
He moved the printing of $500 extra copies of
the Message
This motion was adopted.
STRAIGHT ROAD TO CHARLOTTESVILLE.
The House resumed the consideration of the bill
authorizing the Central railroad to straighten and
shorten its track between Richmond and Char.
lottesville.
The debate was continued by Mr.. SEDDoN in
support of the bill and by Messrs. SPADY, OF North.
ampton, and CLAIBORNE, Of Petersburg, against it.
Mr. PENDLRTON, of Giles alluding to the pro-
vision of the constitution which requires majority
OF the whole House to pass any money bill, decar-
ed that in his opinion the bill under consderat on
was of this character He went on to say, that as
the decision of the Chair upon this question was
important and much depended upon It, and further,
as it might affect the votes of some members upon
the question Of indefinite postponement which
was about to be taken, he hoped the Speaker
would indicate to the House what his decision
would be, should the bill be indefinitely postponed
and be put upon its passage
The SPEAKER replied that it would be prema-
ture and improper in the chair to make any decis-
ion of the question at this time The bill was not
perfected-an amendment was pending-it had
been indicated that others would be proposed
Therefore, the chair could not know what form the
bill would assume before its engrossment-more-
over, it might be changed by the ryder, even after
its engrossment If it were proper under any cir
cumstances, for the chair to decide the question
in advance, this could not be done in the present
instance
mr. PENDLETON 1ntlmaLeQ tnat ne uhu ASk0Q
the question more for the qualification of others
than himself He took occasion to explain that
the gentleman from Richmond, OR STANARD,)
who was absent had entered into an arrangement
with him, by which he would not vote on the
question of indefinite posponement Being on op-
posite sides they had ''tied off"
The question upon the indefinite postponement
was taken by ayes and noes, on motion Of Mr..
RUTHERFORD, and resulted as follows:
