It is not expected I'.tut there w ill be a large or general at- j i tendance of the Whigs of the State, and I'.artc who arc here, fc-l tho responsibility which tvill rest upon them in the selection of candidates for Governor and Lieuten ant Governor. Uut few- have formed an . ! opinion as f who shall be selected all are anxious to nominate a good and well qaalificd man, and one too who can succeed. There are perhaps several such men in the State, but owing to the miserable pittance allowed as a salary to the Governor, non-; but wealthy men will con sent tr be candidates. When a name is i . . . T nicnnoiieu, me iiui iiiui. i , i i At..Miiv..lihvtinndii." Ifthn ! . . . . . . . , . reply is mat no is poor, 11 u laueu diuuw that ho will not accept it. Every one who has served as Governor, for tho past fifteen years, except Whitcomb has left tho executive chair, worth much less than when he entered upon its duties. And why ho is an exception, we may at somo other time, inform our readers. Tho joint resolution introduced by myself relative to tho recognition of the independence of Liberia by the general government, passed the Senate unanimously. The Judiciary committee reponwu - A UO J u J ' gamsi m .apou.u vt.....t, .t- i: . C ioM.ii nir n II I laws of distinction between coioreu ami whitopeoplo, which report was concurred in bv the Senate. Tho sanio committee in uy ii o .o . thA to which waa referred tho petit, n ol tne . Yearly Meeting f Anti-slavery I- riends, aaking tho abolition ol capita: punisnmem, reported that the committee deemed the present law which loaves it discretionary . -1 . .!ll wittitnejury cimeriommci x-aynai I ishment or incarceration in the State pnson, for murder, at virtually abolishing the former mode of punishment, nnd that further legislation is unnecessary. Concurred in . Tho aubject of a modification of tho appraisement laws of this State has occupied tho attention of the Senate during tho past week. No change has yet been made in them, and it is doubtful w hether ! any change will be eflec ted. Most of the members, admit the necessity of n change, but the difficulty arises in the extent to which they shall bo modified. Several propositions have been made to abolish all laws authorizing the collection of debts others are in favor of abolishing the laws relative to securities cn notes, Arc. The great diversity of opinion on these subjects will prevent any definite action upon the subject of collecting debts. The bill to repeal the law authorizing the vacation of Howard street in West Richmond has passed tho Senate. Tho Joint Resolution on tho subject of s'nvery was taken up. Tne question was on tho amendment offered to Mr. Orth'a resolutions, by Mr. Mill'gan, which excludes slavery from Ncw'Mexico and California only during thsir territorial existence while the former excluded it forever. Mr. Orth moved to lay the amendment to hia resolution on the tabic, which was decided as follows : Yeas Messrs. Beard, Cassat, Cornett. Davis, Day of K., Dote, Ellis, Hamrick, Harvey, Hendricks,' Herod. Holloway. Houghton, Hubbard, Marsh, Montgomery, Orth. Osborn, Porter, Robinson, Simpson and Walpole 22. y ,ys Messrs. Adams, Buckles, Coats, Day of St. Joseph, English, Evans Garvor, Graham, Hardin, Henry, HufT steter. James, Malott, Martin, McCarty, Millikin, Miller, Morrison, Read, Sleeth, St wart, Taber and Waters 24. So the amendment was not laid upon the table. L - A communication was received from the Governor; resigning his office as Chief Magistrate of the State. It was reaa oy the Clerk and ordered to be placed upon tho Journals. ' The Hon. Paris C. Dcxxixo, Lieut Governor, then resigned the office of Pres. ident of the Senate, on which occasion he said : Gentlemen of the Senate : 1 avail myself of this occasion, upon retiring from the discharge ot the duties of presiding officer of this body, to return you my wry grateful acknowledgments for the conrtesy with which I have been trcatrd personally by each member of the nat, and more especially for the etli-
