Stovall, Chalmers, Wiley, Scott and Bouldin; and opposed by Mr. F. G. Ruffin, who called a scale vote on the question. Several gentlemen, favorable to the connection, were instructed to vote against all appropriations at this time, because of the unsettled condition of the country, but declared their willingness to aid the scheme at the proper time. When the vote was counted, the State having voted against the resolution, the question was carried in the negative. The meeting then adjourned.
