Mr. ABBOTT submitted the following :
.Resoireci, That this House will hold a session
this,afternoon, commending at three o'clock,
for the consideration of the general appropria

The motion was agreed to.
SMINDMINTS TO TEM TIMBAL CONSTITUTION
Mr. RANDALL submitted the following: _:
Resolved, That this House will hold a session
on Monday evening next to consider the Gover
nor's Message relative to the proposed amend
ments to the Constitution of the United States
and the accompanying documents.
Mr. ROBINSON moved to amend by striking
out "Monday evening next" and inserting
"next Monday evening a week"
The consideration of the resolution and
amendment was postponed to permit Mr. ARM
STRONG to read a billin place.
Mr. ARMSTRONG, (on leave given), read in
place a bill entitled "an Act to ratify, on be
half of the State of Pennsylvania, an amend
ment:a) the Constitution relating to the power
of Congress to abolish or interfere within any .
State with the domestic institutions thereof."
irbe bill was referred to the Committee on the

evening" and insert "next Monday evening a
week,'
--Mr. FRAZIER. I move to postpone the subject
for the present. I will explain my object in of
fering this resolution. The bill which has been
introduced and referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee covers the whole ground. When that
bill shall be reported,by the Committee, the
House can then at any time proceed to act upon
it. Therefore I think the resolution of my
friend from Philadelphia (Mr. RiNDALL) is un
necessary.
Mr. WILSON. I hope that the gentleman
from Susquehanna will withdraw his motion to
postpone for the present, or that it will not be
adopted by the House. If we appointresperibl
seision, , the bill will no doubt by_ that time
have ixteit reported from the Committee, and
the minds of members will be prepared to act
upon the subject.
Mr. ABBOTT. There is tmdoubtedly.in en
tire absence of necessity for the resolution of
fered by my colleague, (Mr. Ilabilasr.,) in view
of the action already taken on the bill relating
to the same subject, which has been read in
place by my friend from Lycoming, (Mr. Aim
sreoNo.) My own impression is that that bill
should have been the creature of the action of
this House, and that, if the. House wished to
,have suck a bill before it, the Judiciary Com
mittee should have been instructed to prepare
such a bill. But as the proceedings have taken
a different course, it is certainly not proper when
this bill has been read in place and referred to
a Committee, that a resolution of the same na
ture should co-exist. The one dispenses with
the other. I think it best by fax that the rm .
lution should be suppressed or withdrawn.
On the motion of Mr. FRAZIER to postpone,
The yeas and nays were required by M. BILL
and Mr. MOORE and were as follows, viz
Yeas—Messrs. Abbott, Acker, Alexander,

MESSAGE PROM TEE GOVERNOR-REPORT OP. TUB
The deputy secretary of the Commonwealth
being introduced presented a message from the
Governor, which was read as fohows:
1b the Senate and House of Representatives of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania:
Gentlemen
I have the honor to transmit to you here
with a copy of the report of the Commission
ers appointed by me, under the resolution of
the General Assembly authorizing such appo!nt
ment, .to meet Commissioners from Virginia
and other States.
I feel it my duty, in this connection, to call
the attention of the Legislature to some of tire
provisions of the "Joint. Resolutions for :tite
payment of the recently appointed Commis
sioners to Washington," of the second day of
March, 1861. It is therein provided that the
State'Trefusurer shall pay such portion of other
expenses of said Commission as shallhe just
and, equal among the States represented, the
amount whereof shall be•certified by the said
Commissioners.
If the Commissioners were together, it would
he difficult for them to certify definitely as to
the character and amount of these expenses;
but they have separated, and it would, there
fore, be almost impossible to obtain such cer
tificate. The gentlemen of this Commiseden
were charged with a high trust ; they have dis
charged it with an ability and fidelity • which
have well maintained the honor and dignity-of
the State. The expenses were necessarily large,
and it ;is proper that their prompt Payment
should be provided for, and in a manner• that
will neither embarrass nor annoy the number,
of the Commission. . .
Tb .114 Excellency, Andrew G. Curtin, Govarnor of
the Commonwealth of l'lmmtlylvanict;
The underOgnecl, Commissioners nppoluted
by your Excellency, by virtue of the Resolu
tion of the General Asset:ably of Pennsylvania,
to meet Commissioners from Virginia and other
States, respectfully beg leave to report:
That, in. pursuance of the authority conferred
upon us, we met in Convention in the city of
Washington, on the fourth day of February,
1,861, and.were joined there by representativtioi
of twenty of our sister States. The Convetiv
tion contined in seamon until the 27th ult. . The
