On motion Of Mr.. Spraguo of BIaudou
adjourned
AFTERNOON.
Revolutionary Mr., Beers of Bolton,
WHEREAS, A deep and absorbing interest is
felt In the matter of certain resolutions relat-
ing TO national affairs now loforG this house
and
WHEREAS, A large numbtr Of members OF
this house on both sides desire more inlOrma-
tton upon the subject matter under consl iera-
tion than viii be likely to be Afforded by the
members OF this house " no viii participate in
this discussion TO the end that they may act
intelllgently In the matter, therefore,
Ees0irci, Tbat this house do extend an invita-
ton to the Hon, Luke p. Poland and the Hon.
Edward j. Pm lips to address them upon this
subject at such time as may be convenient
which was disagreed to.
Unfinished bu0Cess-The resolution re-
latiug to national affairs vas taken up ne
unfinished business from the morning ses-
zion, the question being on the adoption of
the resolution.
Mr. Woodbridge of Vcrgennes. expressed
his surprise that the gentlemen from Rip
ton, with all the influences Of law and Or
der surrounding him, could utter such
views as he did this forenoon. If he ut
tered such sentiments among the people Of
the south, as he uttered here in this house
this morning, he did not wonder that those
men in the south arc now seeking to
fill that land with blood and rapine. BE
then gave his definition Of domestic VIC
lenCe and claimed that there now existed in
South Carolina just the state, OF society
which answered to the received definition
of domestic violence. The same state of
soCisty existed, ard the same feeling of dis
loyalty exists in South Carolina TO day as
at the outbreak of the rebellion. He would
not take the vote from the negro he was
created by the same God tba: gave life TO
the gentleman from Ripton, and he had
the same rights to the elective franchise.
The negro is a peaeeable, guilt and law low
ing people, and but for the violence of their
white oppressors there could be nothing
but quiet in South Carolina to-day.
He briefly noticed the legal questions
raised by the gentleman from Ripton, and
the cases quoted by him, and he showed
that they are not applicable to the point un-
der discussion. He regretted the political
aspect of the discussion; but it had been
thrust upon him By misapprehension of
bis intent by the opponents Of the present
administration. Ills aim was only to en-
dorsc the president in doing what he deemed
to be his duty E; and he referred to the rec
ord OF the republican party in sustaining
the government and Union. II the demo-
cratic party wish to thrust upon us now the
old Issues of the war, let them do it the
people Of the country are ready now as ever
to maintain the Union of these stateB and
peace and quiet within their borders.
On the question of the adoption Of the
resolutions, Mlr. Bliss of Bradford, demand
cd tie yeas and nays, which were taken

bors of the office. lie was in favor of the

Mr.. Sheldon of Rutland said he had spent
| considerable time in the adlutlnt generals

| had found that his labors were very great
and were not decreasing, but were increas-
ing on account of the refusal of the gen

and he was opposed to the amendment
| Mr.. French of Woodstock inquired if the
aiju'ant general charged any fees for GER

Mr. Franklin of Newflne replied that il
| appeared to tie committee that he did not
Mr.. French said he had understood thai
fees were charged for certificates, but he
would not question the information piveI
by the committee. He had understood from

too large.
