ate action. He thought it due to those who desired a change in the organic law, that the committees contemplated by the resolutions should be appointed to make the necessary inquiries. His people demanded that the question should be settled before action was had upon matters of National interest. When they were thus placed upon an equality with the people of other sections, they would stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of all our rights. Voice of the people.

ta, being entitled to the floor, proceeded to consider the Territorial question, to which he was alluding at the time of the adjournment on yesterday. He recapitulated the position that the present territory of the United States was unsuited to slave labor, while there was in the South such a deficiency as to lead to the serious contemplation of re-opening the African slave trade. With regard to the apprehension of the South becoming overrun with slaves, thus converting it into a second San Domingo, he argued that the tendency was the other way — that the demand always exceeded the supply. It had been urged by the gentleman from Albemarle, that in fifty years the South would become Africanized. His own opinion always had been that it would be hundreds of years before the South would require an outlet for the surplus of her slave population; and to sustain this view, he read from a speech in the Senate of the United States, by Mr. Hammond, of South Carolina, within the past year, i

Mr. Wise begged to assure him that he never cried out crucify South Carolina; but had there been an attack upon her he would have fought side by side with him in her defence. Mr. Bruce went on to pay his respects to Messrs. Moore, of Rockbridge, and Baldwin, of Augusta, of whom he had little hope, and made humorous allusions which excited the merriment of the members as well as the spectators. The argument of the gentleman from Albemarle (Mr. Holcombe) as to the impossibility of turnmember of the Convention, and he hoped that all would remain after the adjournment and witness the ceremony.

Virginia State Convention.thirty-third day. Saturday, March 23, 1861. The Convention was called to order at half-past 10 o'clock. Prayer by the Rev. Henry J. Van Dyke, (Presbyterian,) of Brooklyn, N. Y. Evening sessions. Mr. Conrad, of Frederick, offered the following resolution: Resolved.

He recapitulated the position that the present territory of the United States was unsuited to slave labor, while there was in the South such a deficiency as to lead to tht, was expressed in one section of the report of the Committee, that "the Territories of the United States constitutes a trust, to be administered by the General Government, for the common benefit of the people of the United States, and any policy in respect to such Territories calculated to confer greater benefits on the people of one part of the United States than on the people of another partUnited States than on the people of another part, is contrary to equality and prejudicial to the rights of some for whose equal benefit the trust was created. If the equal admission of slave labor and free labor into any Territory, excites unfrie necessary for its proper development." He contended that no species of property in the United States should have more protection than the peculiar property of Virginia. He claimed full and per

hat the demand always exceeded the supply. It had been urged by the gentleman from Albemarle, that in fifty years the South would become Africanized. His own opinion always had been that it would be hundreds of years before the South would require an outlet for the surplus of her slave population; and to sustain this view, he read from a speech in the Senate of the United States, by Mr. Hammond, of South Carolina, within the past year, in reply to a Republican Senator, (Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin,) in regard to this very apprehension. Mr. Hammond assumed the position that the South was capable, within its present limits, of sustaining a slave population of 200,000,000, and utterly repudiated the idea of a necessity for expansion in this respect, although he did not surrender any of the rights of the South to future acquisition. He believed with Senator Hammond that the South was fully able to take care of itself, when the question arises. He conceived that it would be for th

Referred tolad that some of those most distinguished on that side were now covered with sackcloth and penitential ashes. In this connection he alluded to the gentleman from Orange, (Mr. Morton.) Then proceeding to speak of the gentleman from Princess Anne. Mr. Wise begged to assure him that he never cried out crucify South Carolina; butection to the South, as well as the dangers of a border war, in the event of secession, he thought had been greatly overrated. At this point, Mr. Morton, of Orange, moved that the Committee rise. Mr. Bruce felt some delicacy in regard to this proposal. His constituents would never forgive him for occupying two days in

nts were utterly valueless, for treaties would have to be made with people living beyond the limits of our constitutional law. We had an example of this in the acquisition of Texas, during the Administration of the distinguished gentleman from Charles City. He (Mr. B.) was perfectly satisfied to trust all matters touching the acquisition of new territory to the hands of Southern Senators. For himself, he did not incline to any further expansion. The third section, in regard to the protection mendment. As every point of objection urged to the Peace Conference propositions had been removed, in a spirit of deference to those who had criticised them, he thought they ought now to command the support of the distinguished gentleman from Charles City, and others who thought with him. He (Mr. B.) would not consent to a final settlement of the question by a Border Conference, or any other conference; but would reserve it for the ratification or rejection of the people. He thought when every
