The Deposite Question in the Virginia House of Delegates.—Mr. Colston's motion to postpone to 31st March the whole resolutions pending—at the request of Mr. Marshall, he withdrew that motion for the present, and that gentleman then offered the following new resolution:

Resolved, That the Assembly does not intend, by the declaration of its opinion, in regard to the constitutionality of the Bank of the United States, to qualify, or in any manner to impair, the force of its disapprobation of the removal of the Deposites.

Mr. Roane moved to amend this resolution as follows:

That they highly disapprove the manifold instances of misconduct, which has marked the management and direction of the present Bank and that our Senators in Congress are hereby instructed, and our Representatives earnestly requested, to oppose all attempts which may be made to obtain a renewal of its charter, and to co-operate in passing all needful, and proper laws to compel or to enable it to close its concerns in a manner least injurious to the currency of the country and happiness of the people.

After debate, this amendment was negatived

Mr. Wager then moved to amend Mr. Marshall's resolution as follows:

Nor to express an approval of the conduct of the officers of the bank of the U. S. in their management of that institution.

This amendment, after debate, was also negatived.

Mr. Williams then moved to amend as follows:

Nor does it intend by the declaration of its opinion censuring the removal of the deposites from the bank of the United States to qualify or impair the force of its disapprobation of the exercise of the power by Congress to incorporate a bank.

This resolution after debate, was likewise negatived—ayes 62—noes 62.

Mr. Garland of Mecklenburg, then moved to amend as follows:

Nor does the Assembly by any means intend to insinuate that the President of the U. S. has not the constitutional power to superintend and control the Treasury Department.

When this amendment was offered, it being late, the House adjourned, to give Mr. Garland an opportunity of expressing his views.
