rch. Resolutions. Mr. Brown, of Preston, offered a resolution for taking the ayes and noes in Committee of the Whole in the same manner that they are taken in the Convention. Adopted. Mr. Speed, of Campbell, offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the Committee on Federal Relations be instructed to inquire into the expediency of reporting to the Convention two Ordinances, to be submitted to a vote of the people for their approval or rejection on the fourth Monday in May next. one providing for a resumption by the State of the powers heretofore delegated to the General Government, and the other, as an alternative proposition the series of amendments to the Constitution of the United States, which may be agreed on by the Convention to be submitted to the Northern States as an ultimatum, on the acceptance of which this State will continue in the Federal Union, with the proviso, that if not accepted by the — day of--, the Convention shall have authority to pass
y relieving the West from the medium of unequal taxation. If this measure of justice were refused now, it would render necessary a call for another Convention in 1865, thus imposing an additional expense upon the Commonwealth for a body which would have no more power to deal with the subject than had this Convention. He called ug, 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. Haymon1865. 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

The people of Albemarle, where reposed the remains of Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, had declared, when the cloud first appeared, that it was time to make another Declaration of Independence. He went on to advert to the history of the Constitution of the country. When that indeavored to secure for us our best interests. 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 depre

Mr. Early, of Franklin, moved that the resolution be laid upon the table, on which motion the yeas and nays were demanded, and the roll was called with the following result: Yeas--Messrs. Janney, (President,) Aston, Bayler, Berlin, Boggess, Brent, Brown, Burley, Campbell, Carlile, Carter, C. B.

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?

(Mr. Holcombe gave Mr. Seward a raking broadside, and the disposition among the listeners to applaud seemed almost "irrepressible" His language was the reality of eloquent sarcasm.) 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 the security necessary to resist them. In the early history of the country, (he went on to say,) we did enjoy adequate security, but a great party had now been formed on the cohesive principle of hostility to slavery, sufficient to overpower all the checks and balances of the Constitution. In the free States, every party consideration had been merged in this principle, and the people supported men for office wh

The hour of 11 having arrived, the President announced that the Convention would go into Committee of the Whole, pursuant to order. Mr. Boyd, of Botetourt, asked leave to offer an amendment to the report of the Committee on Federal Relations, but objection was made by Mr. Hall, of Marion. Mr. Wilson, of Harrison, moved that the execution of the order be suspended, to give the gentleman from Marion, (Mr. Haymond,) an opportunity of finishing his speech on the question of taxation.

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 Court of the United States.
