extend any more courtesy to his bill than the
rules of the House and the dictates ot pro
priety require. He never would present a petition to the Legislature for relief if that relief could be granted by the Court. Believ
ing, however, as he did when he look charge
of the petition accompanying this bill, and as he still does, that the Court had no power and that there was no tribunal except the Legislature to which he could appeal for relief, he felt it his duty to bring the subject before this
body. The present Judge ot the M Circuit,,
as well as his predecessor, had determined, and
he believed they had determined correctly,
that divorces could not be granted except tor causes pointed out that the discretion vested
in the Court is a legal discretion. No divorce

R; solved, further, That the Commissioners
of the State house procure, if possible the ne
cessary quantity of cheap, common carpeting to cover the floor of the lobbies, and to have
ibe same put down at the first convenient op
portunity. And the House adjourned. AVrDxr.si vv, December 9. .Mr. Vandeveerc tiered the following resolution, which after an unsuccessful motion to lav it on the table, was adopted, viz:
Resolved, That a select committee consist-
in0, of 1 1 members, two of which to jC select
cd from each Congressional District, be ap
pointed for the purpose of nssianii;r to each
fouty its due portion of Representatives ac
.cording to the provisions cf the constitution
on that subject. Mr. Stapp presented a petition from Fran
ces ,1eans praying to be divorced from her
iiu-diand ilham ( . .Veans, accompanied by .a bill; which were read. JUr. l'rown moved to rject the bill. lie had hoped that the legislation of last winter had settled the question in relation to legislative action on divorces. He now hoped that the decision of last winter would be adhered to. If a case could be clearly made out in which the Courts could not grant relief, he might be willing for the Legislature to interfere but in the case now under ron-id' ration the Court had, in his opinion, full and ample jurisdiction. Jlr. Evans -concurred in opinion with.Vr.
Urown genarally, and expressed the opinion that no case could arise in which the Circuit Court could not exercise prediction. The
motion to reject fermed rather uncourleou
find ho haeM not have made it. As it had
been n.-ade, liowcvc r, it might perhaps be proper to determine the question at once.
He should ote r the rejection cf the bill.
Jlr. jliett contended that the question
that the I.C;?viture had no right to erant di
voices had not been nor never would be set
tled. The tail legislature decided that it wainexpedient to grant divorces, but the con?titUvic;.;ii question was dceiJed oiherwisc by
cognizance. If gentlemen arc determined
nisc their authority to make the demand, and expresses his willingness to refer the matter to the decision of the senate.
not t grant divorces in nin case, let them reject this bill; but if there be a disposition to act upon the subject at all, the evidence ac
companying the petition for this divorce was ample and satisfactory. If genii man, on the
examination of the testimony, shall not be satisfied that the husband of the petitioner is
guilty of larceny, he asked them not to vole
lor the bill. Hit evidence not having been read he only asked gentlemen who would vole for a divorce in any case to vote against
the rejection of this bill, because a stronger case could no be presented.

TI RXPIKH KOAI MEETIXO. At a meeting of the citizens of Switzerland county held at the courthouse in Vevay, on the I "2th day of Dec, in pursuance to previous no
tice, Dr. John Mendenhall was called to the chair and E. Patton, esq. was appointed sec
retary; and aftei the object of the meeting
was briefly explained by Judge Dufour, the following resolutions were unanimously adop
ted: Resolved, That a committee be appointed to confer with such persons in Ripley county who may take an interest in the undertaking, about the steps to be taken to forwarel tbe plan of constructing a McAdamised turnpike road from Vevay through Versailles to intersect the Michigan road at or near, Nopoleon, and to draft a memorial to the legislature for the incorporation of a company".

involve the constitutional citivenship of a great
niaj prominent individuals in Louisiana, audi test severely some of the provisions of the Naturalization laws in their application to that State. Of the character of the present movement there can be very little room for mis
take. It is partizan altogether, and would not have been thought of but for the particular politics of the senator. Judge Porter is an Irishman by birth but it is strikingly singular that the question of his American citizenship sliould be mooted at this late day, when it is notorious that he has filled without any scruple of his right to do so, many of the most important and responsible offices in the State. He was even a member of the Convention which framed its Constitution, has been repeatedly elected to the State legislature, one of the most efficient and prominent judges on the bench of the Supreme Court,
and is now a member of the senate of the United Stales, in which body he has held his seat an entire session, without the least suspicion from any quarter, that he was not legally entitled to the place. This is really,
all we proiess 10 Know on the subject.
DEMOCRATIC MEETIXC. At a large and highly respectable meeting
of the friends of Martin Van Burcn of Ne w
York for president and Richard M. Johnson
of Kentucky for vice president of the United Slates, Judge Golay was called to the chair and J. M. King and P. M. Kent were op-
pointed Secretaries. After the house was called to order, and Judge Dufour had briefly slated the object of the meeting, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted. Resolved, That this meeting approve of the nomination made by the Baltimore national
democratic, convention of Martin Van Ruren
of N. V. for president and R. M. Johnson of
Kentucky for vice president ot the U. Mates
at the next election.
