SENATE DEBATE.
TheSenate, last Tuesday, had "Monsieur Tonson
come aain," ia the shano of the famous individual
liability cUnse,i9ome time called tfo Specie Qks,)
xaoTtd hj Mf; Thojipso, 6f V'akej as an amend
ment to a Bill to Incorporate the Cape Fear 'Manu
facturing CoripanyjV' W:fim':
Mr. GuJfB, In reply to some" remarks made by
the inexorable mover of the amendment professed to
he placed in great doubt-as to hm 'urse.He 1ad
once believedJ and had .quite sincerely believed, ihat
works of InierCal , Improvement .nilght'be. of some
service in redeeming the State from mediocrity, 'and
might property; redeit som aid and cbuntenance
fromjthc'Legislature, Bnt, he had liTed so long fa
the woods, at a great distance from the Metropolis
that he believed he had become especially green.?
The lights, which krn so brightly about the Capi
tol, are lost in the distance before, they reached him.
He had been silly enough to vote " for Manufactur
ing establishments, Turnpikes, and even Rail Roads,
but the pertinacity enlightened Sen
ator of the Metropolitan Couufy, opposes all such ef
forts as public improvements, had. brought him to a
dead halt."',,"i r-;'''. ; --.i
The people of the State had selected Wake, as the
favored County in which this splendid. Capitol was
to be built. Here," in the County of Wake, were to
be held the Sessions of the General Assembly, and
the Supreme Court, in a building which cost over
half a million Of dollars, j Here, is. also ' the great
State Library, in which the wisdom of .ages is em
balmed.. From this chosen spot, it is reasonable 4o
be expected, that patriotic suggestions, which look to
the good of the State, should emanate. . . . T
The citizen,' honored with'the confidence of such.
a County, might be' supposed to.be "foremost in the
race, which has for its goal the public good. At the
feet of such a Gamaliel, we from the wild woods "and
Mountains of the West, might safely, it seems to me,.
learn political wisdom. How then, Mr. Speaker, have
our crude opinions been shamed by the enlightened
course of the Senator from Wake ! How have our
visionary schemes been rebuked! How ridiculous
have gentlemen from abroad rendered themselves, by.
voting for various measures in which their ' constit
uents can have noJntertst, but which they thought
would benefit the Metropolitan County, and the
central portions of the State? -
Mr. Gilmke said, when he saw this Senator, re
flecting as he must ber supposed to do, the opinions
of this enlightened County, jroting. agaiet th
proTCfiwuNen Hirer to a point near Raleigh
ajrainst enclosinsr the Capi
gainst enclosing the Capitol, the pride of the
State and the greatest ornament of the City, over
which.it keeps eternal guard against the charter
for a Rail Road South from Raleigh against the
building even of a 1 arnpike from itaieigh VV est, to
be paid for in Cherokee Bonds against all attempts
to charter Manofacturing Companies, unless' coupled
with a provision which he knows would cripple and
defeat them when ho saw all this in the Metropoli
tan Senator, must he not pause, and doubt whether
his course has been right? He had believed, that
as we had no great staples, such as .Cotton and . -To
bacco, and only inferior advantages at making money
as G rain-growers, but plenty of water power; wood
and minerals ; that the erection of Manufactories, in
which thousands of. poor white females would find
profitable employment,-was an object that might
gladden the eye of the patriot and philanthropist.
What must we think now, when not one such, work
has, during the Session, found favor in the eyes of
the distinguished Senator? And when his constit
uents are to be mainly benefitted too ? ' His course is
well calculated to make others doubt their utility.
If it be really the settled opinion of that gentleman's
constituents, who have had ; expended lamong them
io much of public and individual funds, -that works
of Internal Improvement, (even at the expense of in
dividuals) which connect Wake with other parts of
the Couatry, are injurious their voice, in such mat
ters, is certainly entitled to " very great - respect
Why not clap an extinguisher at once on all im
provements leave our highways, over which Sena
tors travel in coming to Raleigh, to the beautiful
luxuriance of nature lLot the warning voice of
the Senator be lifted up against any ruthless hand
that would cut down a tree, or grub up a stump.
Let him sing in dulcet strains
"Woodman ! snare that tree, .
Touch not a single bough." ,
Let the young trees' on the highways, imitate their
sires, and toss their Arms, in all the freedom" of un
restrained nature, ; unless peradventure you could
have the u individual responsibility" section upon
them, or eradicate them by the specie darts !

House, the Debate, (covering the whole ground of
the War,) on the BiU for adding ten" additional Re

by the passage of the Bill through that branch.
;Cn Saturday, the Oth, the Senate did not sit ; but
the House of Representatives again had the Lieut.

its opiniun, by a majority of thirty Totesj against
the establishment of a Military Officer of a grade

yln the Senatc on Monday, :the lltb the Tic
President; being indispoeedi Mr. Atchison appeared
in the Chair and read a letter from that officer, de
siring him to ocipy .theChairrduringhiS absence
Mr. Crittendenf after, disclaiming any personal
feeling in the matter, questioned the authority of
the Vice President to delegate the Chair to another
when he himself was absent He suggested that
the Senate had better ballot for' the election of ft
Vice President pro'terrLy ia i he had no doubt the re
sult would be the same. He was - for having things
done properly... In, conclusion, .hemoved .that the
Senate proceed to the election of a Vice President
pre tern. - 'c -f :.;. k
? At Ihe request" of Mr. Atchison, the 53d rule
was read, ( which gives the Vice President the 'right
to name a substitute.for one day. h . -
Mr: Speight was of opinion, that, under this rule)
the Vice President had the power to delegate his
authority.'" ., ' 1 . .'' ''A
; Mr. Atchison, said he felt much embarrassed in
occupying the Chair, under- such' drcumstanoes.
He said he would much prefer that the Secretary
should conduct the j)roceeclings. i ' 3r vw
Mr. Crittenden hoped the gentleman , would re
main in the Chair, which he could do by. common
consent. The consent being, given, , Mr. 'Atchison
remained in the Chair. f , . j f;t.:5!
Mr. Badger contended .that the rule did not apply
to the present case.' It appeared to him very plain
that the Vice President when absent, had no power,
to delegate his authority. : .4 I t-c. r.i.. T.
A fter further discussion Mr. Crittenden modified
his motion so as to provide, that Mr. Atchison bo ap
pointed Vice President pro tern. T during the absence

What f did say, (Mr. Haralson havinsr yielded
the floor,) was, that I did not hear all the'gentleman
from Georgia had said in regard to North Carolina,
but I understood him to assert that the State (which
was Whig,) had failed to raise the retnment of vol
unteers required. (Mr. IL then nodded assent) I
then said,' that, when the iiuisitionwasmade un
der the act of May hut at least foxtj companiesliad
tendered their servjceakThe regiment was promptly
raised.; . When the term of service Was changed
from twelve months to during the War ' under the
late requisition, the Tolunteers in the regiments first
raised were released, and the new regiment was not
yet raised. But several companies ' had organized,
and actire exertions were making to complete the
regiment, which I had nudoubtwould1bc done in
due time by that patriotic State, and done,"too. With
out reference to political differences.
Some conversation then occurred between my col
leage, Mr.-Rain, and myself not necessary to be in
serted in this note. The impressionereated by the
incorrect report ef the j' Union" (wMcb . was owing
probably to ray own position in the House at the
same time) is, that forty companies are now ready for
service, when, in fact, I said directly to the contrary.
You will oblige me by inserting this note in the
Intelligencer as early as possible. " !-
