th regard to the interest of labor, he spoke at some length, denouncing the doctrine of an "irrepressible conflict" as a base coinage for vile party purposes. He presented in a strong view to the people of the Western section of the State, the question of their true interest in a Southern Confederacy, where their labor would meet its full development, while in the North it would meet nothing but competition and oppression. Mr. Randolph was arguing this point, when Mr. Chambliss, of Greensville, said it was apparent that the gentleman from Richmond was physically unable to proceed, and as his argument was a very able and interesting one, he desired to give him an opportunity of going into it fully to-morrow. He therefore moved that the committee rise. Mr. Randolph expressed a sense of delicacy at throwing himself upon the indulgence of the Convention for another day; but Mr. Johnson, of Richmond, assured him that there was no necessity for being influenced by such a feelin

Mr. Doeman, of Rockbridge, moved that the execution of the order of the day be postponed in order to give the gentleman ed that the communication be laid on the table and printed. Mr. Samuel McDowell Moore, of Rockbridge, hoped the order to print would not be adopted. The Convention was already annoyed enough by ther an assumption on their part. Mr. Conrad, of Frederick, differed with the member from Rockbridge. He at least knew enough of the character of the gentlemen composing the Commission, to say tonfederacy would be ruinous to Virginia manufacturers. Only two days after the gentleman from Rockbridge made his speech, apprehending the disastrous result of secession upon the iron and other interttee then rose, and the Chairman reported progress.

Hehad supposed when the Convention was called, that it was called toational question on which the people expected the Convention to act? He had heard from the lips of the gentleman from Northampton a proposition for a bargain to the West; that if they would come over and help to dissolve the ties which bind us to ts, W. Mitchell, E.

Mr. Samuel McDowell Moore, of Rockbridge, hoped t the gentlemen composing the Commission, to say that they were entitled to respect. He suggested that the member from Northampton modify his motion, and let the communication be referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Fisher accept

me it should be stopped. He admitted that there were abolitionists in that quarter of the State, but expressed his belief that there were more in the city of Richmond than in his whole Congressional district. It was his belief that if something were not done in regard to the taxation of slave property, there would be a conflict — not between sections of the State--but a dire and irrepressible conflict between the laboring man and the slaveholder. He strongly maintained the loyalty of Western Virginia, and if a settlement could not be obtained, he would go for severing the Gordian knot which binds us to the Union; but he thought with a little time and patience the whole difficulty might be adjusted. Mr. Branch, of Petersburg, thought that slave property ought to be taxed according to its value to the owner in Virginia, not according to its value in Louisiana and Mississippi. if the Convention were to pass an Ordinance of Secession, he thought the organic law in respect to taxat

t the proper time he would unite with them in an effort to render the organic law acceptable to all sections; but the present he did not consider the proper time, and he hoped the resolutions would be laid upon the table. Mr. Johnson, of Richmond city, said he would not have participated in this debate, but for the extraordinary remark of the gentleman from Harrison, (Mr. Wison,) that there were as many abolitionists in the city of Richmond as in the whole Northwestern portion of the Staterinted. Committee of the Whole. The Convention resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, (Mr. Southall, of Albemarle in the chair,) and proceeded to consider the report of the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Randolph, of Richmond City, resumed his remarks. He read from the opinion of Judge Curtis, the exponent of Black Republicanism on the Supreme Bench of the United States, that slavery was only a creature of municipal law, and could have no existence beyond the circumfe

the latitude that the debate had taken, and that there was so much excitement on the question, which merely proposed the raising of committees to make inquiries. Every grievance complained of by any portion of the citizens of the Common wealth, he thought, ought to be removed by this Convention.-- With regard to overtures to be made to the North, he did not believe that the Convention would rise to the dignity of making any demands about which there was any doubt of acceptance, even by Massachusetts. He came from the much despised Northwest, and though he loved the Union, he did not love it well enough to be willing to lay down all his rights as a man — not well enough to say to Virginia, the good old mother, lay down your imperial robes, clothe yourself in sackcloth, and bend the suppliant knee to Abraham Lincoln. The President here announced that the hour had arrived for going into Committee of the Whole for the purpose of considering the report of the Committee on Federal R

lay before the Convention a communication from Hon. Wm. Mitchell and others, Commissioners from Maryland. The communication was read by the Secretary, as follows: To the Honorable, the President of the Convention of the People of Virginia: The undersigned, citizens of Maryland, have been appointed a committee on behalf of a Conference Convention, representing a portion of the citizens of the city of Baltimore, and of nearly all the counties of Maryland, to communicate with the Convention over which you preside, in reference to a matter in which they deem themselves deeply concerving (as those whom we represent have instructed us to say they do believe,) that the people of Maryland will accept such an invitation, it becomes, as we respectfully suggest, a matter of equal interer authorities of those States." If any existing organized department of the Government of Maryland should attempt the selection of delegates to such a Convention as is proposed, it would undoubt

He read from the opinion of Judge Curtis, the exponent of Black Republicanism on the Supreme Bench of the United States, that slavery was only a creature of municipal law, and could have no existence beyond the circumference of the law so creating it; also, from the opinions of Lord Mansfield and Lord Stowell, showing how slavery is treated by those governmenttes of the Union, providing and declaring, first, that Electors of President and Vice President shall be chosen on the District system; and second, that persons of African blood, in whole or in part, are not, and shall not be, citizens of the United States, or citizens within the meaning of the 2d section of the 4th Article of the Federal Constitution; and, further, whether such amendments should form part of any ultimatum laid down by Virginia or the Border States of the South, or should be su

The mercantile class of the East, he contended, bore a proportion of the taxes more than equivalent to the taxes paid by the West, of which they so much complained.

He was opposed to action upon the subject now. The Convention had no right to change the Constitution while Virginia remained in the Union.-- He believed, that in the event of withdrawal, every slaveholder in Eastern Virginia would willingly submit to an equalization of taxes. He decanted upon the law taxing the income of labor as unjust and oppressive. Mr. Caperton, of Monroe, alluded to the remark of the gentleman from Franklin, proposing to confide the subject to a committee, and postponing action thereupon to an adjourned session of the Convention. He conceived that such a course would show to the people of the North that we were involved in difficulty upon a domestic question, and consequently r
