remark Mr. Baldwin commenced an argument in favor of a Border State Conference. He repudiated the idea of submitting to any oppressive measures from the North. It was his determination, and the determination of those who thought with him, to demand and to have full and sufficient guarantees for the future, or they would have a "row." They meant to present to the North the alternative, of submitting to their demand, or a peaceable separation. The irrepressible conflict doctrine of Wm. H. Seward was considered, and the speaker denied that the institution of slavery was on the retreat; on the contrary he maintained with pride and pleasure that it was on the increase, and at this moment stood higher and more powerful than at any previous history of the world. he could remember when slavery was looked upon by Southern people as a moral incubus, but now it was regarded as a beneficent and advantageous institution. He also maintained that there were now at the North more pro-slaver

He then reviewed the acts of various Administrations, showing that the line of compromise had been recognized in the settlement of all the vexed questions ball doubt or controversy. If they have now got possession of the Government in all its different departments, who is responsible? At the time of the election of Lincoln, all the other bulwarks of the Constitution were unbroken, and who is responsible, before God and man, for their abandonment? Who has withdrawn fourteen from thee things should be stated. Why had they left us helpless and hopeless in the hands of those who they tell us are our enemies.--When he thought of the election of Lincoln, which all here regarded as a wrong to the entire South, and thought of the firing of a hundred guns on the reception of the news in Charleston, he was led to inq

It was the result of the acquisition of territory, and treaties were made in accordance with the existing law. Mr.Baldwin said he had made the allusion to show the recognition of the dividing line in carrying out what the gentleman and his friends called the crowing act of his Administration.

The President announced that the subject pending before the Convention was the consideration of the resolutions offered on Monday last, by Mr. Willey, of Monongalia. Mr.Hall, of Marion, being entitled to the floor, supported the resolutions. The members of the Legislature from the West, he said, would never have voted for calling this Convention, unless they had supposed that the subject of taxation would be brought f peace, and he looked upon it as a happy omen that every measure of adjustment proposed, maintained this line of 36 30. He thought it indicated a disposition to return to the spirit and principles which actuated the fathers in the formation of the Government. At this point, Mr. Baldwin, who had spoken three hours, yielded the floor, and, On motion of Mr.Gray, of Rockingham, the Committee rose and reported progress. On motion of Mr.Hall, of Lancaster, the Convention adjourned.

from the Committee on Federal Relations, with the substitute offered by the gentleman from Harrison. Mr.Baldwin, of Augusta, being entitled to the floor, resumed his remarks, adverting in the outset to the tendency to introduce subjects in debate which had no bearing upon the great question at issue. He understood gentlemen to acquiesce yesterday in his declaration, that the agitation of the slavery question at the North was the only grievance of which Virginia had to complain. Mr.Morton, of Orange, desired to know if the gentleman represented this as an admission from the entire body of secessionists in the Convention.
