HOUSE OF hIPNS, DGC. E-3.

 Mir. Booker, presented a memorial from Messrs Wm Field, concerning the Report of the State Bank Committee, explanatory his conduct in a certain transaction of said Bank in conformity with the instructions from the Legislature of 1843 which was referred to the committee on the State Bank, and their report on the State Bank, was re-commltted.

 The bill of the House to collect and dis purse the revenue of the State, was taken, up read third time and put upon its passage The ayes and nays being demanded, when the name of Mir. BankAead was called, he rose and said

 That he wished merely to state to the House his reasons for recording his vote against the bill it was not, that he thought, our State officers should not be paid i'll specie or par funds, for he thought their salaries were already too small, admitting they were paid in specie, which he thought they should be. Not to do that which is doubtful, Is the 5oundest policy in morals and politics, and he believed this Legislature hadnot the pow CT to take specie from the vaults of the Bank of this State, which according to the proyis- ions of the charter of that Bank should be appropriated to the redemption of it's circula- ton, to pay our officers of State.

 If we have the power, to say the least of 1t, it would be an act of injustice to the note holders of that bank, to pass the bili-how- ever he had other serious objections to the bill, with which however he would not trouble the House.

 The ayes were 30 nays 27-so the bill was lost. The object of the bill was to col lect the revenun of the States in par funds, and pay its officers in the same.
