millions of freemen, than sixteen millions of freemen and not a single slave. He did not conceive that under surrounding circumstances, the ideas advanced from the other side could alarm the women or the men. On some future occasion he proposed to show that it would be to the material interest of Virginia to go with the South.--All the great interests would be promoted by it. In ten years, Richmond would reap more material advantages than she would in thirty years in the Union, while Norfolk would become a rival of New York. In conclusion, he thanked the Convention for the patience with which he had been listened to. Mr. Morton spoke more than two hours, and the foregoing is but a mere outline of his remarks. Mr. Baylor, of Augusta, next took the floor. He said he was glad that almost every gentleman who had spoken had disclaimed party politics.

We hold this truth to be self-evident: That the State of Virginia never can be developed to its full capacity until a city shall have grown up in its eastern quarter which shall be able to dispose of all its resources.
