Pc waKREGs. Sundry resolutions have been
I passed by a portion of the people of some
LOT the counties Of North western Virginia,
c6bdemning the course Of the Hon. John
s. CarIile in the Senate Of the United
States Senate, requesting him to resign his
seat therein: and Whereas The Senate of
Virginia has also passed a Uoint) resolu-
tiop eondemuingI his COURSE In the Senate
and requesting him to resign his seat there
in, and has asked the Concurrence Of this
body thereto: aud Whereas, The passage
OF a resolution of censure upon public
4 functiOuary so elevated aud responsible
without any specific charges, but mere
vague geueralities, and without the known
and expressed wish of a majority of his
constituents, is an act so grave and respon-
stble that this body hesitates 10 concurring

consonant with the spirit of our Govern.
ment in all cases where the Representatives
are not fully instructed, to submit all ques-
lions of such vast import and solemn re-
spOnsibility to the people, the only legiti.
mate source of all political power, for their
free and uutrammelied decision,-therefore
be it
ResoIped That the Committee on Courts
of Justice inquire into the, expedieucy of
reporting a bill providing for an election to
be held at the earliest day practicable, to
take the sense of the people on the propo-
sitions contained in the joint resolution
from the Senate.
Mr.. ZlNx said the people had nothing to
do with this question. Tue Legislature
had elected the United States Senators, and
TO the Legislature they were responsible.
He was sure every member here Was pre-
pared TO take every responsibility that
4 might result from a vote on that subject.
Mr.. BoRENAS said the principle enuncia.
ted in the substitute would have forced the
Legislature to wait till the rebellion was
\ put down before eleoting Omitted States SEN
ators, The gentleman who offered the sub
stitute had helped to elect these Senators.
He had no objections TO doing that-had
nothing to say about the prerOgaiiVe of the
people then, yet now il WAS convenient
to call upon the Legislature not to act, but
tnrn Il over to the people who, are not re-
sponsible for Mr.. Oarliie,s presence in the
Senate. as s-H bfs
