ns, he referred to the history of the Constitution of the United States, where the terms are not used. In adopting that instrument, the question occurred as to how far slaves should count in the matter of representation. Southern politicians held that they should not be counted at all while the North thought they should be counted entire; and they compromised by taking three-fifths. In the fugitive slave clause, the term "persons held to service" was supplied by a Representative from South Carolina. They saw no necessity for changing the phrase in amending the Constitution, and he did not therefore think the propositions were obnoxious in that point of view. He went on to show that the Peace Conference propositions afforded equal protection with the Crittenden proposition, and in regard to the dividing line, he thought they acquired what was better. He had moved the Second section as a substitute for the section reported by the Committee in the Conference, for the purpose of

He looked upon the Peace proposition as making a better disposition of the Territorial questions than the Crittenden proposition; equal in rights and privileges, and infinitely better in regard to that which may be before us in the future. Mr. Summers continued his argument at some length on other branches of the proposition, but without concluding, gave way to a motion to adjourn, which was submitted by Mr. Gray, of Rockingham, but withdrawn at the request of Mr. Macfarland, of Richmond, who stated that there were sundry claims for services rendered by persons previous to the organization of the Convention, and he offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee of three to audit such claims.

gentleman, but that (among other considerations) he had been selected from among the many who had been exerting themselves in behalf of the country. That minor objection he could have well waived; but his chief objection was that it brought up in an indirect form the question upon the merits of Mr. Crittenden's proposition. He thought the Convention had matters of direct importance to attend to. Mr. Brown, of Preston, made some remarks in favor of the resolution. Mr. Leake, of Goochland, offered to amend the resolution by adding-- Resolved. That the Convention does not mean hereby to approve or disapprove the measures proposed by the Peace Congress. Mr. Jackson, of Wood, moved the previous question, with a view to cut off the amendment, but the President stating that it did not so apply, the motion was withdrawn. Mr. Wickham, of Henrico, opposed the amendment, on the ground that the resolution and not carry with it an endorsement of the Crittenden propositi

she can look with no favor or sympathy upon any conduct on their part tending to precipitate upon her people the horrors of civil war. 5. It is the belief of this Convention that the sectional controversies which divide the people of the United States, if not originated, have been greatly aggravated by the management of politicians for the advancement of personal and party schemes. They feel confident that if the people, North and South, can come to understand each other, they will find much withdrawal — the people of Virginia, without expressing any opinion upon the question of power, but in deference to the opinion of the Federal authorities, hereby declare their willingness to unite in conferring upon the Government of the United States the power, if it shall become necessary, to recognize the separate independence of the seceding States, and to make such treaties with them and to pass such laws as the separation may render proper. 7.

on — and none were more hopeful than himself that they would be — they would have sufficient power to maintain it. In the present condition of things, with only eight slave States, it would be impossible. He called the Peace Conference Report "the first example of the self-protecting power of sections." The North were looking to future acquisitions as much as we were — perhaps more. It was said in Washington, by a very adroit and distinguished Northern politician, that they had an eye upon Canada, and it would come.--They were also looking to the Sandwich Islands. The Conference proposition puts a stop to such proceedings, unless by a majority of both sections. It enables you to settle all these matters in advance; it enables you to bargain; and unless it is settled fairly, it cannot be done at all. You can contest future acquisitions with them, foot by foot. With regard to Cuba, he said there was no trouble to be apprehended on that score; the North was more anxious to obtain it<

Beyond that border line, Rhode Island through all proceeded in entire harmony with the wishes of those from the Southern States. New Jersey was with us throughout.
