nge the anti-slavery sentiment of the North. The Republican party had not been formed upon the basis of a temporary expediency, but upon deep-seated convictions of right and wrong, which must never be relinquished until its object is accomplished. The passion was the most immovable that had ever seized upon the minds of a people, and he had no hope that it would ever be eradicated. He then read extracts from the speeches of their representative men, beginning with Anson Burlingame, of Massachusetts, expressive of the most ultra abolition sentiments; next, John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, of similar import, and called attention to the "extract of Lincoln" read yesterday by Mr. Randolph; also, to the well-known declarations of Chase, Seward, and others. He asked if any present declaration from Mr. Seward could reconcile the Southern people to his past professions as the very head and front of the irrepressible conflict, and as the man who had calumniated the decisions of the Supreme

He did not, therefore, intend to depart from the programme which he laid down previous to the election. The resolutions were referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Osburn, of Jefferson, by leave, presented some resolutions adopted on the 15th inst., by the citizens of Harper's Ferry and Bolivar, in that county. They say they have not changed their sentiments since the election, and still go for the Union; they moreover deprecate the course of the Virginia Senators and Representatives in Congress.

Liberty, for all the possible advantages which have been so glowingly pictured. The reporter does not pretend to give more than a faint outline of Mr. Holcomer's remarks. Indeed, the omission of a sentence, or even a word, of his thrilling eloquence, would, unquestionably, mar the beauty of this grand effort in behalf of the rights of the South. He spoke of the humiliating attitude of Virginia, bowing her neck to the yoke of Northern tyranny, and said that the retribution of a just Providence must sooner or latter overtake a people who would surrender their cherished rights to a mere consideration of interest. Tell me not, said he, of what our ancestors said in their day. Their maxims and sentiments were wise in their time; true reverence for the memory of our fathers consists not in applying their precepts to the events of our day, but rather in applying them as they would now, were they living and in the field of action. No doubt they hoped the Union might be perpetual — th

The question of party was not considered. He contended that when parties became sectional, their antagonism was like the antagonism of countries entirely foreign to each other. He quoted from the writings of President Madison. （No. 10,) in regard to factious combinations of a majority, and showing

stance. Mr. Haymond continued to argue on this point, when he was interrupted by Mr. Branch, of Petersburg, who asked if he understood the gentleman to say that he would be contented with a change in the organic law to be made by this Convention, but to take effect in 1865? Mr. Haymond replied that the people of the West demanded a change now. If they could do no better, they would be compelled to wait until 1865. Mr. Haymond closed his remarks; after which, Mr. Goode, of Mecklenburg, moved that the resolutions be laid upon the table. On this motion, Mr. Hall, of Marion, called for the yeas and nays. Mr. Willey, of Monongahela, appealed to Mr. Goode to withdraw his motion. He asked if the gag law was to be applied. Mr. Goode said that as the gentleman was the author of the resolutions, he would withdraw the motion if he wished to take the floor, on condition that he would renew it. Mr. Willey said he did not feel authorized to make any such bargai

many citizens of Richmond. The Union men, as he learned from a local in the Dispatch, withheld their votes. Under these circumstances, he could not comply with the request to vote for an Ordinance of Secession. Frankness and candor, he said, were among the golden rules of life for the guidance of man in his course of action. Two years ago, he was called from the peaceful pursuits of agricultural life, against his earnest protestation, to become a candidate for the Senatorial District of Hanover and Henrico. He was elected, and it had ever been his effort to discharge his duties in a manner acceptable to his constituency. He had the good fortune to acquire their confidence. In the Presidential election he told them that the issue was Union or disunion-- and in upholding the cause of Bell and Everett he sought to throw the weight of Virginia on the side of the Union. He took the same ground in the canvass for the Convention. Prominent citizens of Henrico had addressed him a let

le and elaborate. He conceived this question of territorial expansion to be the rock upon which every scheme of compromise would be wrecked. He proceeded to examine the subject in its political bearings — the possibility of taking the power of government from the hands of extremists and placing it in the hands of moderate men in both sections. The concessions to be made by the North, if any are to be made, must be such as to quiet forever the agitation of the slavery question. The Southampton tragedy was the result of agitation. The John Brown raid was the result of agitation. With agitation constantly sounding in the ears of the slave, could we expect anything else than an occasional outburst of violence? The amendments proposed by the committee contained no assurance of the removal of this agitation. The subject of slavery would still be mixed up with the politics of the North, in the waging of what they call a moral war upon the institution. No such amendments can chan
