Mr. Cooper introduced a resolution, to ins tract the committee on military af faii'f so to amend the militia law of this state, that they will not come in conflict with the several laws of this state, and that j they report by bill or otherwise.

There were two or three reasons he could assign for not serving on the commuter; ne wouw oe content, how ever, with naming one, viz: the political (omponuon oi me coramnice. The Speaker called the Senator to or der. Mr. Dockery resumed. The subject matter, then, which wsJ entrusted to the consideration of this committee, was one, at least, of a ticklish character; it was one, which should the committee advise ac tion, would place the hands of the Le gislature into the pockets of the people, end it might easily be perceived the ti.' risr recs the result of a committee, thus constituted, and so reporting, taie hi be made to produce upon the state. To the ttanding committees ha would offer Bo objection; they were formed in the manner usually adopted by the party in power; but when more committees were called for than he could collect in any see sion of a Legislature, and those too, requir ing opinions upon public expenditure, con tituted as they are, he must beg leave, without intending any disrepect to the Chair, to decline serving on them.

Mr. Joyner introduced a resolution, that so much of the Governor's message relates to the repudiation of Slate debts, be referred to a select committee, which was agreed to. Saturday, December 3. Mr. Reid introduced resolutions; that the North Carolina Arsenal should be insertinc a clause, so as t provide that the Isw should not lake effect until after the adjournment of the Legislature, and tins no difficulty would be created in ar ranging the representation now; these two counties would have a large extent of ter ritory, and in ten yean the population would so increaoe that the argument of the gentleman wotil.l have no force, lie would tell an anecdote to illustrate this. He was employed lo defend a fellow char ged with hog stealing. In the argument there, he took exception to the bill of in dictment because it was found by only the several the period of their first loan on to the present time, the amount due from each, and the security taken for the payment or said loans, specifying particular, when he nveral debts that are paid were dis charged, and the several amounts now due, snd the nimss or the debtors and their securities: and further, that said com mittee inquire into the solvency or the ob ligors tains bonds of ibe borrowers, and their securities, and wheher any loss has ever oeen sustained by either of ssid boards, and by whom, and when, and that laid committee report the names or the borrowers lo this booie. snd renort in full oo ill the subjects contemplated in this resolution; snd that thev have power , . io sena tor persons and papers. Mr. Birrs objected to the amendment. He was not only for erocurinf the infor mation for the uae of the House, but be ished to five it to the people of the State. Fust, let us adpt ihe resolution of the gentleman from Edgecomb. ind get a report from the Governor, and then let it be printed, that ibe public may see who are indebted to these boards. After that, he would promise ti rote for com mittee to investigate the matter; he would go as far as the gentleman from Cabar rus, ai far as any one, in tin invesiiss linn. Hi hoped thi amendment would not be adopted. Mr. Mills stited, that he entirely con curred in the amendment. The subject hsd.been made political capital of, and he wi.hed it spread belore the people. At the lat sesainn, a similar resolution bad been introduced by one M r. Joshua Barnes, which he would read. Here Mr. Mills read from the Journals ol the Isst Legis lature, the proceedings on e roaolution of Mr. Barnes, of a siaailsr nature with the one before the house, on which committee, late in the session, made re port, throuf.li Mr. Barnes, their chair man, which report and proceedings wen published in the Register. And as they are, doubtless, fresh in the memo ry of all our readers, we deem it unne cessary to publish them here. Here thin, were persons, clothed with sutho- IWNIKI.I..I.

The Clerk replied that there was no error in the copy ' tltvcn of the grand jurois having been ex cused by the Conn, becaueo their wives were about l lie in, and it was neces sry for them to be at home'.'. And this is the wav they do business up in the West. Mr. Barrinjer moved to lay the bill on the Uble until the first of January nex'l which w as screed to.

The gentleman from Mar tin says that he wante a report from the Governor first anJ then he will vote fat a'committee. Rut this would be delaying the matter. We proproee to appoint the committee now, and ii will give them snore time to investigate. And ir gentle men really wish in examine into the mat ter, in the aae of Heaven let us have a full investgation. Here Mr. Avery moved that the reso lutioa be laid on the table, and that the hnase proceed to execute the joint order, which wis to go into an election for Se nator; but the house refused. Mr. McRie thin took the floor. Hi aid that t'ademin seemed to be timing at the same ind; hut they were taking different roads. The gentleman from Lueecomb bad abown his sincerity in the matter by his acts. At the last iei sion, it seems, he tried ihe plan proposed by the gentleman freii Cabarras, and be found it accomplished nothing, as some have said, and now he wishes to try some other modi. And this is no new plan. The Governor is an officer of the state. and we have a right to maki him, as oth er officers, account for the manner in which be has discharged his duiiei. Ks would say with all due respect to the ten lieman from Cabarrus, that though we might have confidence in the report of the Governor, we are a little chary of Whig motions. And as the gentleman from Pasquotank had been pteaaed to call oura the Loco Foeo party, he might ex change favors by calling theirs the Coon akin party. Hi reputed, that the plan pro posed by the gentleman from Edgecomb was the usual one in such caaea, and he hoped the amendment would not ke adopted. Mr. Francis next rose. Somethiot bad been said about political capital hav ing bean made out of this matter. He ould stste a fact that would ihow thi propriety ol adopting the amendment. When that itinerant political pedlar, f Mr. Henry,) in the shape of a Federal candi date for Governor, came up inhe West, tie charged that the money was under the, management of Whigs, and land out; only to Whigs; and that the Whig Go vernor kept thiae facts concealed.

Hi could not see why ihe gentlemsn from Edgecomb, or rilher. the genilemin front Martin for him, b- ected to having tbe aubject investigated ty a committee. The committee was to be ippointid by the chair, and any one circumstances onder which vou now aa aemlde in your reipeetivw chambers, and which should lead us to unite in praise and thanksgiving to that great Being who made us, and who preserves us a nation. I congratulate you, fellow citizens, on the happy change in the aspect ol our fo reign affairs since my last annual message. Causes of complaint at that time existed between the United States and Great Bri- who will look at the committee book, e.n tain, whic,,t Mtende( by irrite,inf cirtuin, nty to investigate this matter, and as they had found nothing wrong, it might j he rung this through all its rbanges. fairly have been concluded mat there wss nothing wrong. But if they were not satisfied, he was for giving them power to make as thorottjU an investigation as could be made. The amendment or the gentleman from Cabarrus, gave them power to lend foi persons ind papers. The gentleman from Martin laid, that hi was for printing the report. So was he; and be wis for printing it in such i man ner, that gendemen in the East could not say io thi people, that such an one in the West, of whom they knew nothing, was insolvent; nor in the West, of one in the East. It seemed to him that the amend ment ought to prevail. Mr. Biggs was understood to endea vor to prove that ihe report of Mr. Barnes was not made very late in the session. He continued to insist that the plan proposed in the original resolution was the bes; that the committee could not tell whether the signers of the bonds were insolvent persons or not; but il the Governor was rr quired to report the mmes lo this house, and they wire pub lished and lent throughout the State, it could be ascertained. see that the gentleman had no reason lo fear that he will not have a majority of hie own friends on the committee for it will be found, on examination, that all ihe committees, with the exception of one. (and that a vety teaponaible on.e, oh which they eipectid to throw all their odious measures.) are composed of a ma jority of hie political friends. I he amend ment proposed by the gentlemsn from Cabitrui would srromplitb notice, what ibe other gentlemen proposed lo do by two resolutions. He hoped the amend ment would prevail. Mr. Cardwell made a few reroirks, in which hi regretted that io wide a range bid been given to thi debate, and that auck a want of courtesy had characterized it. Hi wished geatlemen to come up to the question, snd not endeavour to make political capital by making ipeechei to the House. Notwithstanding tin insin uations of gentlemen, he gloried in being a Democrat; but he was still in favor of the motion of the gentleman from Cabar rus, and hoped it would prevail. Mr. Pope, (who had made e motion in the course of the debate Inlay the sub ject on tbe table, bat subsequently with drew u, at ihe tequest of Mr. Uarnngrr.) ssid he would take orcation to state that bis object in making the motion to lay on the table was not lo atop the invretie alien. but the wide range of the debate, lie remarked further, thst he was on the eommiuce at the list siaiion. of which Mr. Barasi was chairman, and he call-' ed upon that gentleman to say, if, when they applied to the Governor as ex-officio, rreaiileal of these Hoards, be did soi oner every laciiuv tonne inveatifation! i no w w w response. Hi would state lhat be did. and that the committee had the bonds in their hands, and expressed themselves satisfied of the solvency of the obligors. The question wss then taken on the amendment of Mr. Barringer, and deci dedayes 66. nays 48. Tin resolution was then adoptvd This report has been written out mostly from memorv, with an honest lances, threatened most seriously the public peace. The difficulty of adjusting amicably the questions at issue between - the two countries, waa In no small degree i augmented by the lapse of time since they , , naii mrir ongiq. s ne opinions enTcriain ed by the Executive on several of the leading topics in dispute, were frankly " set forth in the message at the opening of your late session. The appointment of a special minister by Great Britain to the United Stales with power lo negotiate upon moit of the poiute of difference, in- A dicated a desire on her part amicably to adjust them, and that miniate was met by the Executive in the lameepirit which had dictated his mission. Ihe treaty consequent thereon, having fc-cen duly ra tified by the two governments, a copy, , together with the correopondence which accompanied it, is herewith communicat ed. 1 trust that whilst you may see in it nothing objectionable, it may be the means or preserving, for aa indefinite pe riod, the amicable relations happily exist, ing between tbe two governments. Tho question of peace or way between the United Stales and Great Britain, is a question of the deepest interest not only to themselves, but lo ihe civilized world, since it is searcely possible that a war could exist betweeu them without endan gering the peace of Christendom. The immed.ate effect of the treaty upon our selves will be felt in tbe security afforded to mercantile enterprise, which, no long er apprehensive of interruption, nden lures its speculations in the most distant ea; and, freighted with the diversified r - : i j . 1.1 j j'iuuui nuns oi every lauu, rciurus iu uiis our own. 1 here is nothing in the treaty which in the slightest degree compromiis the honor or dignity of either nation. Next to die settlement of the boundary line, which must always be a matter of difficulty between states as between indi viduals, the question which seemed to threaten the greatest embarrassment, was that connected with the African slave trade.

In the enforcement of the laws and treaty stipulations of Great Britain, a practice had threatened to grow up on the part of its cruizcrs of subjecting to vi sitation ships sailing under the American flag, which, while it seriously involved our maritime rights, would subject to vexation a branch of our trade which was daily increasing, and which required the fostering care of the government. And although Lord Aberdeen, in hii corres pondence with the American envoys at London, expressly disclaimed all right to detain an American ship on the high seal, even if found with a cargo of slaves on board, and restricted the British preten sion lo a mere claim to visit and inquire, yet it could not well be discerned by the Executive of the United Sta.e how inch t
