rwards, on motion, laid on the table by a vote of 59 to 57. Gov. Letcher's message reads as follows: Executive Department, January 21, 1861. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Delegates: I have received from His Excellency, Wm. Dennison, Governor of the State of Ohio, a communication enclosing resolutions passed by the General Assembly of that State on the 12th inst. These resolutions express a desire for the preservation of the Union. To give effect to this patriotic d now communicated can be regarded in no other light than a threat against all those States which recognize the doctrine of secession. I am happy to assure you, however, that in this instance no serious apprehensions need be entertained, as Governor Dennison states, in his last annual message, (of date Jan. 7, 1861,) that "the organized militia of the State numbers at present a little less than twelve hundred men. They are uniformed, armed and equipped, and are, for the most part, in a commenda

of." Virginia has good ground for complaint against the present authorities of the State of Ohio on this score, and I earnestly hope they will carry out their declaration, as expressed in this resolution, at the earliest practicable moment. I hope the General Assembly of Ohio will "show their faith by their works." You will make such disposition of these resolutions as in your wisdom shall be deemed best. John Lutcher. Free Negroes.--The following resolution was offered by Mr. Woolpolk, and adopted: Resolved, That the select committee appointed on Free Negroes, be instructed to inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill amending the 3d, 7th and 8th sections of chapter 53d of the Code of Virginia, so as to allow any free negro, over the age of, 18, years, (upon the terms and conditions provided for in the 3d, 4th, 5th and 6th sections of the same chapter 7 who may wish to promote his or her position in society and happiness, by becoming a slave, to choose his

viceable condition." The fifth resolution declares "that it is the will and purpose of the people of Ohio to fulfill, in good faith, all their obligations under the Constitution of the United States, according to the spirit and intent thereof." This is a just sentiment, and the purpose expressed cannot be too highly commended. It would, however, have been more strongly appreciated if the General Assembly had rebuked the Governor of Ohio for his refusal to surrender Owen Brown and Francis J. Merriam, when demanded by the authorities of this Commonwealth, as fugitives from justice. I would suggest the propriety of such a rebuke from the General Assembly of the State of Ohio at its present session. Such a rebuke would furnish a proper sequel to this resolution. I would further suggest that as "no enactment of the State of Ohio has clothed the Governor with authority to surrender to another State fugitives from its justice," seeking refuge in Ohio, it would be well to enact such l
