will precipitate results that may be deplored, when too late to be averted. A blunder at such a time is a crime. An error committed now can never perhaps be corrected. With these preliminary remarks, I address myself to the discussion of the most important question that has ever claimed your consideration, and in the determination of which so much of human happiness or misery is involved. I repeat, as applicable to this occasion, the language of Governor Floyd, in his message of January, 1833: "Your station is high and responsible; to you the people will look; nay, do look for security and protection and the maintenance of all the rights of the States. Virginia, the land of our birth, the burial place of our fathers, the peaceful home of our wives and daughters, a waits your decision." The people will review whatever may be done — and the man who fears to trust them, is not a friend to their rights or their safety. Federal relations. The condition of our country at th

s which have taken place, and leave the people to form their own opinions and draw their own conclusions. I refer to it, in this connection, to declare my unqualified hostility to the doctrine of coercion by the Federal Government. In my canvass for the office I now hold, I declared my opinion frankly and fearlessly on this question, and every man in the State had the amplest opportunity to be informed of my position. In a written address "to the voters of Virginia," issued on the 12th of May, 1859 I stated, "Should it be the pleasure of the people to elevate me to the office of Governor. I will endeavor in my administration to carry out the time honored State-Rights principle of Virginia. If at any time during my administration the Federal Government shall attempt to interfere with the rights and institutions of Virginia; if it shall at any time interfere with the rights of slavery or the rights of slaveholders in our State, I will be prepared, with the aid of the people, to

Message[of the]Governor of Virginia. Executive department, Richmond, Jan. 7, 1861. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Delegates: My proclamation, issued on the 15th day, of November last, states succinctly the considerations which induced me to convene you in extraordinary session. Duty, however, requires of me a more detailed exposition of my views upon the subjects therein referred to, as well as the presentation of such recommendations as are demanded by a proper regard for the public interests, and the faithful, prompt and efficient execution of the laws of this great and growing Commonwealth. These views and recommendations will be presented with as much brevity as the extraordinary circumstances of the times will justify. Entertaining a profound respect for the intelligence, experience and information of the gentlemen constituting the two houses of the General Assembly, I feel that it would be a reflection upon them to accompany each recommendation wi

ll average at least ten percent more than the slaves would have brought at public or private sale, if their characters had been unexceptionable. Little or no attention seems to be paid to that provision of the law, which declares that the "value shall be the cash price for which he would sell at public sale. with a knowledge of his condemnation." You will perhaps be astonished to learn from the Auditor's Report that condemned slaves have cost the State, in the twenty years preceding the year 1858, the sum of $331,463 90, and that the State realized from their sales during the same period the sum of $150,736 96. These convicts were therefore put upon the State at a price greatly exceeding their value, and the taxpayers of Virginia were made to bear the burden of $180,000, required to make up the amount of this high valuation fixed by the Courts. In this connection, I ask your attention to the abstract of the laws upon this subject, now existing in the other slaveholding States, t
