Mr. Wetman said—This resolution seems to croate some laughter in the House; but, sir, when we consider that there are now in that Territory not Wes than a thousand abolitionista in arms, perpetrating inl- quities upon the settlers there—burning houses and turning women and chiidren adrift upon the world— it cannot be doubted but that there ts need for some ac- tion on the part of those who sympathise with thom. ‘There is, in fact, crisis now in the affairs of the Union which perhaps never before existed. It is nothing Ibss thana war between our own people—civil war to a limited extent. Missouri, if! am correctly informed, has sent to the scene of action three regiments of volunteers, and the Legislature of South Carolina has under consideration & proposition contemplating a tender to the President of the United States volunteer ald for the same purpose, If this resolution is objected to, I would be happy, should geatlemen so desire, to make any modification in it thit may be deemed expedient and proper. If it should be deemed desirable to lay it over for a future occasion, I shall have no objection. I feel, however, that there is need for some action upon the subject to which it relates, Mr. Kuwrr, of Madison—I would suggest to the gentle- man that the proper course would be to refer it to an ap- propriate committee, and suffer it to pass through the ordeal to which other resolutions are subjected. Mr. Roa1p, of Montgomery—I move to lay the resolu- tion on the table. Mr. Imnopgy, of Augusta—If the geatleman would with- draw his motion, I would move its reference to the Com- mittee on the Milit'a laws. Mr. RonatD—I withdraw my motion. Mr, Imnopxs—I make the motion just iadicated. Mr. Rurnervorn, of Goochland—I would suggest that the joint committee of both Houses, appointed to con- sider the subject of more effestually preventing the es- cape of slaves and the propriety of devising measures of retaliation, would be a more appropriate committee to consider the subject. Mr. ImnopEy—I am wiling to modify my motion to ac- cord with the gentleman’s suggestion. Mr. Ronatb—I move the iadefinite poxtponement of the resolution, I made a motion to lay on the table, which I subsequently withdrew; but bellev- ing that any action by the House at present upon such a subject would be premature, Inow make this motion to postpone indefinitely; in doing so, I feel nevertheless a deep interest in what is now going on in Kansas; and, sir, when Kanses is brought into the Union, and recognized by the constitution of this land as a sister State, then, sir, should these aboli- tionists, so much dreaded by the gentleman who has offered the resolution, go there for the purpose of tres- passing upon the rights of others and destroying thele property, then, I say, that if Kansas needs the axvistance to protect her rights, I kuow very !ittlo of the sentiments and feeling of the people of Virginia if T cannyt vouch for the readiness to render aid in such a crisis. I know and have reason to know that when an occasion arises, if it aball arise, Virginia will be there to uphold and vindicate the South. She will be reaiy, willing and anxious to shed her blood for the rigits of the Sou'h, and the vindication of the constitution of the United States. Sir, any action on the part of tho Virgi- nia Legislature at this time is, in my opinion, prema. ture. it seems to me that if we now act upon this subject we ebali be usurping a power which does not properly belong to us. We should awsit action by the genera government upon the matter. Tho time in my opinion is not remote when it will become necessary for us to act withont the preliminary of @ resolution. When that time arrives it will be well to act, At present there is no need for action. Butl say whenever the occasion does arise, Virginia will be ready to march off at a mo- ment’s warning. Believing, however, that the present is not the time for such action as the resolution coniem- ploves, Trenew my motion to postpone indefinitely. Mr. Wenumax—I have no objection that the House shall take whatever step it deems most prudent in this matter. Iam anxious that gentlemen would show theic hands upon the subject; and to give them » full opportu: nity of doing 0, I call for the ayes and noes. The call was sustained. Before the vote was taken, Mr. arty, ot Albermarle, said—So far as 1 am concerned, I would not have sad word upon this subject, bed not the gentleman called for the ayes and noes. I will now say that I would go a8 far aa any man to protect the rights of the South, and preserve peace in Kansas, but I can see no policy nor wisdom in our passing a law to suthorize the Governor to employ a régiment ef volunteers to go there and enter into a sectional strife, the effect of which would be, in all probability, to perpetuate scenes of bloodshed and civil carnege. I think this matter ought to be left to the peo- ple of the Territory themselves, and I feel convinced that no practical good could be ettected by the courre in dicated. Feeling this, I shall vote in favor of the indeli- nite postponement of the resolution. Mr. Rotaerrorp—I would suggest that thie is merely a resolution of inquiry, and that itis unurual to offer op porition to resolutions of such a character. Any member has » right to offer a resolution, and have it referred to an appropriate committee for investigation. if any test vote is to be taken, or action had, it is better that it sbould be taken after the committee shall have reporied, and inasmuch as this t# a sudject peculiarly affecting the interests cf the South as well as those of Virginia, and therefore needing due consideration, itis proper to refer it to a committee where its merits will be fully canvassed It would look bad to see Virginia agreeing to the incefinite postponement of a resolation which relates to the protection of a sister State or Territory. Lam in fa vor of ita reference to the joint committee having under consideration the subject of retaliatory measures, and the adoption of more effectual means to prevent the esenye of slaver, &e, Mr. RonaLp—Not being familiar with proceedings of this sort, I feel that it is proper for me to yield to the suggestions of gentlemen more expenenced thaa I am, and sball, therefore, in deference to their bett»r jadgment, agree to withdraw my motion to postpone indefinitely, und suffer the resolution to go before a proper commit- tee. The principal reason which influenced me in makicg that mo jon was that Kansas is now, to « certain extent, a foreign power. She contempiates a union witn the States, no doubt, but that abe will come is not » matter of certainty, She may or she may not. Being out of the United States at 1 regard this as 6 proposition to interfere with the internal affairs of » Ftate which is now without the confederacy. | withdraw ig, Bg md to postpone indefinitely. Ot wad of Fauquier—I hope the mo'ton will not be cofert SvraKen—The sense of the House has Sat Bim taken upon granting leave to withdraw the motion. Mr, Carte—I hope, Mr. oe, that leave will aot be given to » ee to withdraw his motion, for if the motion is withdrawn, [ shall renew; and Lrheli ray to the Wayne (Mr. Weilman) that bis call for the ayes and noes canno: made this call, he says, in order that gentlemen shall show their bands, I have no fears that my constituents will sw me of being faithless to their interests, though I shon!d vore in favor of the motion to indefinitely post ne this subject.

In the event that the House shall refuse to postpome tue subj inte. Gnitely, will the GMA cane cat a llener totes con mittee ullnded to? Sraxmm—It the House grant leave to the gentloman from Montgomery (Mr, Ronald) to withdraw his moti the resolution will then be belore the House; but it w be competent for any other gentleman to renew tho mo- tion. Should the House refuse to postpone, the question will recur upon ite reforence to the Joint committee. Mr. StanaRp, of Richmond—I eertainly, for ons, re- ot that this subject has been belore the House in this form. J do not think that it is » matter with which we have anything to do. My impresston iy, that this renin would be much more profitably orgs cod int harge of other duties—otker important duties which rest apon us with reference to the rights and in- terests of Virginia in her State administration—than in discussing any other question connected with the gene- ral politics of the country. Alter a few other remarks, he expressed a hope that the gentleman from Fauquier (Mr. Carter) would pose coho te to the ¢ in from Montgomery (Mr. ) withdrawing his motion that the subject might be permitted to pass through the usual prelimina- KA routine of other business. the matter was at i introduced—a ‘fact which he much regretted—he thought the better course was to refer it toa proper comsandttee, ‘aig ‘ ir, CARTER—Although I see no reason to change m; option in respect to the disposition waich the flows hould make of this subject, yet if it shall indicate a wish to allow the gentleman from Mont to with draw bis motion, | will yield to the solisitations of the ‘n from Richmond, and interpose no objections Wo the proposed reference to the joint committee. The question on granting leave to withdraw the mo- ton to postpane indefinitely was put, and decided in the affirtcative. Betore the question on referring the resolution to the joimt committee was put, Mr. Wirxy, of Botetourt and Craig, eaid—t regard the resolution as too harsh. I do not bellove the exist state ef things calls for action of the character proj by she resolution of the gentleman from Wayne. 1am of opinion, ‘however, that some action should be had the subject, aud in furtheranee of tb: Mer At by way of amendment, “That a joint committee bé ap- pointed ‘to consider the present troubles in the Territory Kansas, and to inquize what action, if any, should be bog hy the General Assembly in reference to that sub- ject.” Mr. Garyert, of King and Queen and Fasex, sald—I re- gard these resolutions as the expressions of individuals rather than of the gentlemen from Wayne and Ci (Messrs. Wellman ani Wiley), and so regarding them, cannot imagme on what pricciple any geatlemsa can object to their reference to an aspropriste committee. I agree with iny friend from Richmond (Mr. Stanard) that \t would be entirely premature for the House to consider this anbject at the present time. We would be hurried into @ most important debate, not only without proper information upon the subject, but before we know wheth- er there was any necessity for such action an the resolution contemplates; for it yet remains to be seen whether the President’ of the Uniled States is not willing to maintain order in Kansas, and the military power at his command to’ enforce When we krow that he is derelict in this mater, and lacks the power to proverve peace and harmony in that Territory, it tx time enough for us to take the step which is now proposed. Until then I ses no propriety in doing so, In the meantime, while I would not have this Hou ¢ lay the resolution on the table, lest it may have av unfavorab'e iufluence elsewhere, A? belng construed ito a want of sympathy on our part with the struggle which is being carried on in Kansas, yet, at the kame tim agree with my friend from that is ia to debate or consider this question. I therefore move, sir, to refer the origiaal resolution and amendment to the joint committee appointed to consider other auhjects germain to this. The revolution of the gentleman from Craig (Mr. Wiley) seems fair enough, but the tact is, we sre not prepared to take action even to the extent con- templated therein, It is yet to be determioed whether we will consider at all these troubles in Kensus, It is yet to be determined whether any action on cur part is called for by the necessities of the case, I trust the gentleman will allow this resolution to be réferred to a proper commiltee, to be culy considered and reported upon to this Bouse, when, if action, becomes necessary, I for one shad Le ready to go with Mim ax far as hoy men can Gerire, I therefore renew iny motion to refer the rerolution and amencment to the jo.nt commit tee alreny appointed. Mr. Wertmay—I have po objrction that the resolution be referred to a select committee. In fact 1 brought the subject under the notice of that committee thit morning, cf which | am myself « member, and the prominent mem- vers of it stated to me that they thought it would be de- sirable to offer ruch a resolution. This was one of the reascns that indaced me to offer it. Mr, Tavion, of Alexandria—I regiet that any resolution bas been introduced at this time upon thix sndject. With all due deference to the gentleman who introduced the resolution, I think it would be much bettor that no such resolution should have been offored. think it Is unnecessary for me, or any other man in Vir- ginia, to define cur positions with respect to the altuira ot North and South. There is no man in Vicginia who 1 not of one opinion upon this subject. regard the reso lution as being premature. Ido not see what itis to operate on, There is nothing, in fact, at this time upon which it can operate. Tne propositions as I understand from the gentleman from Exeex (Mr. Garnett), is to re’er this revolution to the joint comini'tee appointed to con- sieer the subject of the more effectual preven ion of slaves from escaping, and the he | of proper retulia- tory measures agoinst the North. Now, sir, ask can this reslation be ap; ately referred to that com- mittee? Cam that committee act upon it in any way, shape or form? I think not. It weuld be beyond the pale cf the duties that have been impored upon it by the rerolution under which it has appointed. Now, ‘ir, I am ready when’ the question comes Bp properly, togoan far as any man to sustain the rights of the South, and to protect her Rropert rae also the coustitntion of the United St ow, ale, tt seers to me that the constitution of the United States, which we are bere sworn to obey and uphold, is sufi” cient to do all that is neceseary to protect the intereds of the South, without such aid as is proposed by the reso-» Jution which has been offered. I understand the consti- tution of the United States to provide that the President of the United “tates shall have power to call oat the mili- tary to suppress ineurrection or repel tnvasion. Now, cir, Task if we are in‘ormed of the exivtence of any In- rurrection or invamon within the jurisdiction of these States to justify the acticn propored to be taken! I have heard avdhing more about the matter than what I glean. ed from newspaper reports, and that certainly cannot be deemed sufficlent grounds for a step so serious as the re solution contemplates. I would not vote to lay it on the table, ner do I think it in to refer it to a commit. I think the bert plan would be for the gentleman Wayne (Mr. Wellman) to withdraw ft. The question on referring the resolution, w'th the amendment proposed by Mr, Wiley, was taken, and de- cided in the sffirmative, Twe Smrcee ov Tam Bark Aweuis—Tie Seance Proms 4s WH Conax Jowta.—The Havana Diario de la Marina, in ite issue of the 8ti November, publishes a ling editeriat in regard to the seizure of the American bark Amelia, which arrived at Port au-Prince, with » full cargo ‘of arms and amunition which, as the American consul, Mr, Lewis, # were intended tor a filibustering expedition, the editorial above alluded ents the fellowing facta, the truth of which ly vouched for by the Ka» de Cuba, The Diario crew of the Amelia testified that the vessel waa bound to Cuba. 24, That the Amelia, as well as another bark called the Magnolia, was by the Treasurer of the Cuban Junta for the sum dd, That the secounts given by the Treasurer of the Junta are now in the hands of everybody in the Uaited Staten, 4th.

It ise good sign when the theatren do woll, fur public amusements are the surest beromoters for the at- mosphere of public prosperity. At the Broapway Tiara the Marvh children heve con- firmed the excellent icapreasion made wpom the pudlio by thelr first night, and have been re-engaged. Their manager deserves credit for thetr excellent training. Ou Tuvsday last the Dramatic Fund Benefit drew a felt house, to nee ‘<The Rivals’ and ‘‘ Beauty and the Beast.” In the first named piece, Mr. Blake made his first appearance this season, playing Sir Amthony Absolute capitelly. The same performance will be repeated this evening. The Marsh troupe will remain during thin week only, ani every one who desires to enjoy one of the most pleasing theatrical novelties of this latter day should not fail to see them. Mise Lavma Kxmya’s programme for the season, at the Metropolitan theatre, mow called the Varictios, has been issued, and will be found elsewhere in this journal. Mies Keene has, thus far, done threo good things:—L. She bes altered the stage and arrangement ot the proseo- nium; 2 She haw had entire sets of new scenery painted in place of the old trash; 3. She has secured the services of several actors high in the favor of the New York public, and has altogether » better com- pany than we thought it possible to collest at thinveason. Messrs. Charles Bass, G, Jordan, Dyott, H, all, 7. B, Johnston, and Misa Keene, herself, are artisty about whore ability there can be no question. The effort of Misa Keene is but an experiment, but she has, apparently, negiected nothing whish could contribute to itn muecess, The public is already happy to acknowledge her merit as an artist, and will be happy to give her « fair chance now that she indulges in the luxury of manage- ment. At Buwto’s Tasarms, Mr. Matthews’ comely, “Pulse Pretences," has been considerably cut and’ otherwixe improved. It was played every night last week, oxcept Monday, when Mr. Goorge Jordan had a benelit and acted Hamlet. It was a correct and excellent porformanoe— clearly and judiciously read—gracefully, quictly and effectively acted. The bill for (o night includes a comedy in two acts lately produced at Drury Lane for Charles Matthews, and called “(Aa impadent Puppy.” The com- edy ‘' False Pretenoes’’ will also be acted. Miss Char- lotte Mitchell, a clever actress, has joined Burtoa’s com: pany. At Wattack’s Timatnn, the novelties of the week havo Veen the new farce A California Widow,” Mr. Placide in “Our Ficst Night," and the revival of the French melo: drama of “Pauline.” The first named piece has grown in favor of the audience, thanks to the excellent acting of Mr. Charles Walcot, who plays the principal part. Mr. HL Pilacide is inimitable in the ‘‘ Firat Night,” the next Dest farco we have seen for many a day. Tho bill for to- night is “auline’”’ and ‘To Parents and Guardians,” Viacide ax Tourbillon, Miss E, Raymond, late of Bur- ton’s, is engaged he: At Ninto’s, the Ravel Family and M’lle Robert continue to attract full houres. The bil for to-night inclades two popular pieces. At the AcapEny or Music, the houses have been a littl heiter than usual. “Zhe Trovatore”’ is up for to-night. ‘The compacy will appear at the Boston theatre about the 8th of January. At the Bowrsy Tumarny Mrs, Hamblin and Mr. Rady have been playing to good houses, ‘The bill for to-night ix * Hamlet,” with Mrs. Hamblin as the moody Dane, und @ Ben the Boatowsdin,” with Mr. bddy in the charac: ter of that jolly mariner. Howpay ExracrannesTs.—The coming fertivities wit be duly celebrated at all the theatres, by entertsioments suitable to the season. The Broadway management have already placed their programme befere the public. They will bring out Planche’s spectacular barletta, ‘King Charming,” fall of good jokes, good songs, good scenery and fine eftects, The note of preparation in all depart sents was sounded some time singe, and the scenery lias been prepared from the London models, The piece was ori- ginaly done by Madame Vestris at the Lyceum theatre, Jondon, and it carried that extravagant establishment through an entire season Eyerything will be done to make it equal to the Landen effort by the Browdway menegement. Woen’s Mixers, 444 Broadway, announce a pro- gran me full of fan and good songs for to-night. Brcwury’s Mivernvis, 630 Broadway, give their bur leeque of “Lucrezia Borgia” this evening, together with ony quantity of other good things. At Acaneuy Hatt, 663 Broadway, a capital bill is an. wounced for the benefit of J. W.
