MEETING OF THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE
The general assembly of the State of Virginia as
sembed at Richmond Monday last The organi-
zation of both branches of the legislature was effected
without delay. The Enquirer says:
In the senate Lieut. Governor jackson took the chair
and made brief but admirable address. The senate
then, without division, reelected their old officers viz
Shelton G. Davis secretary j. A. Jordan sergeant at
arms; S. Baldwin, doorkeeper; and John Warrock,
printer.
.After the adoption of resolutions of inquiry the
governor messages were received and read and the
ate adjourned.
81 In the house o. NJ Crutchfeld esq was reelected
speaker without opposition and returned thanks in his
usual happy and touching manner
sWe have merely room to state that the following
gentlemen afterwards elected, viz St. Geo Tucker
clerk; A. b. Obenchain sergeant alarms David West
LIST doorkeeper Harris I. Burruss, I'd doorkeeper"
Gov. Wise transmitted three messages of great
length, occupying fifteen columns of closely printed
matter in the Enquirer cursory examination in
dcates that they devoted exclusively the local
and general interests of the State with the excep-
ton of the paragraph below taken from message No
3. Every matter relating in any way to the inter
ests and prosperity of the Old Dominion seems to
pass under the review of Gov. Wise, and no occa-
sion is omitted to offer suggestions that may conduce
to the promotion of either.
The following paragraph is devoted to the subject
of federal relations - a.s.-.
During the last year election for President and
Vice President the United States held which por
tended results of the deepest interest to people They
saved from appehended evils, which will not re-
capitulae in order to avoid irritating the temper Of the
times But at moment adar cloud shrouded the

State executives letter of which the accompanying
copy It's objects to defend the rights aud liberties
of the State of Virginia to protect her people, and to

but to rejoice with every patriot in the result. The
