Not being In the House Monday when the
Parsons bill with the Senate's amendment was laid
on the table, we did not hear what Mr. STANARD
said. Mr.. GARNETT moved to lay the subject on
the table, and submitted the remarks published by
us yesterday. Mr.. STAHARD then spoke as fol-
lows as reported In yesterdays Whig:
Mr. STANARD said that he did not rise for the
purpose of opposing the motion just submitted by
the gentleman from Essex. II the gentleman who
had brought this subject before the House. and who
had heretofore insisted upon forcing it through in
hot haste, in spite of every appeal that could be
made by himself and those who concurred with
him. desired now that the whole subject be laid on
the table, it was not for him, who was opposed to
both bills, to object. He must be permitted, how
ever, to say that, as citizen OF Virginia, 1t was
q source of regret to him, and he feared it would
be a source of regret to our friends and OF exui.
tation to enemies that the course OF things had
been such upon bill having reference to aggres-
sions committed upon citizen Of Virginia, as to
place the two Houses in the position of apparent
and rreconcfable antagonism on q subject upon
which, above all others. there should be unity OF
action, whAe it was manifested that in point OF fact
there was no diversity of sentiment Mr. s. sug-
gested that it would be appropriate to refer the
matter toa committe of conference who could re-
port he had no doubt they would, tnat II was
now unnecessary 10 legislate upon the subject until
the Joint committee appointed some time since had
reported.
If this mode of disposing of the matter was re-
sorted TO- neither House would incur the respon-
sibility of having prevented that unanimity Of
action which il should have been the desire of all
to secure. He merely, however, threw out this
suggestion He did not insist on it; for, he
stated in rising he had no intention to oppose the
motion to lay on the table, coming from the quar-
ter from which /, did. He had at least the
lation of feeling that If the course suggested by
him and those who acted with him, had been
adopted, very different spectacle would have
been exhibited to the State and to the country
