uOusc ~ DOlom0us, upon the appointment |
o. Commissioners to the Washington Confer
enco, ana commented upon thai action. At
the same time, we expressed our belief that
the Senate would not agree to the commits
sion which was made by the House. That
belief was well founded, as win be seen by
the report we give below Of the proceedings
Of the Senate. That body amended the
House report by comforting the appointing
power upon the Governor where it rightful-
" belOngp.
In the course Of the discussion, Senators
Monroe and Garfield made many happy hits
and strong points They have, thus fat, con
tributed much to the life and energy Of the
Senate,
The followlngis is an abstract Of the proceed
ings of the Senate upon the House resOlu- |
tons
Mr.. Ouppy, from the Committee on Federal
Relations, reported in favor of striking out
the first and second Of the House resolutions
and inserting resolutions that Commissioners
be elected by joint convention Of the Senate
qnd Honse, to meet the Virginia Commission
ers at Washington; that while we are not
prepared to assent to the terms proposed by
Virginia, yet We favor the experimentation
desire to reciprocats the patriotic spirit Of
a sister State; that copy of these Tesolu-
tions be transmitted by the Governor to each
Of the Commissioners; and that it would be
wise and expedient to postpone the Conven'
ton to the 4th day of April.
Mr.. Monroe favored The appointment Of
Commissioners but was opposed to having
them appointed by the Legislature. BE
moved to amend by striking ont the first reso-
luton, and inserting the following;
BsitrssOlo,d Bv the General Assembly of IL,
State of Ohio, That the Governor, by and
with the consent of the Senate, be and is
hereby authorized and empowered to appoint
FIVE Commissioners to represent the State Of
Ohio in said Conference.
Mr.. Monroe supported his resolution in
few eloquent remarks.
After some discussion, Mr.. Monroe amend
ment was adopted.

Mr.. Cox then moved the following substi-
tute for the report as amended, viz:
Rssoyvsdby the General Assembly ofths State
Of Ohio, That while we cordially reciprocate
every desire on the part Of Virginia to cure
/ the present troubles of the country, it is
yet our opinion that if any amendments to
the National Constitution are desirable
! (which We do not sdmit) such amendments
/ can be best considered and inaugurated BY
the National Congress, to whom that Office is
assigned by the Constitution, and that the
transfer Of such a duty to a Convention of
i portion Of the States, hastily called, is unde-
sirable and revolutionary in its tendency.
After some discussion, this substitute was
lost.

The House was then carried by vote of 20
