n the slave States, is small; and hence the inference that the non-slaveholder is not loyal to the State, and would not willingly defend the institution.--This is a most serious mistake, and is well calculated to make an erroneous impression upon the Northern mind. Such a representation does serious injustice to that loyal and patriotic class of our citizens. It is a reflection upon them, not warranted by their conduct, now or heretofore. The number of persons in this State in the year 1860, charged with taxes on slaves was 53,874. The number of persons charged with taxes on lands in the same year, was 159,088.--Most of the persons charged with taxes on slaves, are the owners of lands also; and others who own lands, own no slaves. The number of persons charged with taxes, other than owners of lands and slaves, is 201,000. All these parties have a common interest in the protection of persons and property, and each feels that in protecting the rights and property of the others,

this question, and I give expression to them, in declaring my opposition at this time to the call of a State Convention. I see no necessity for it at this time, nor do I now see any good practical result that can be accomplished by it. I do not consider this a propitious time to moot the question, and I apprehend, from indications that have been exhibited, that serious difficulties and embarrassments will attend the movement. Subsequent events may show the necessity for it. In 1833 and 1850, when the existence of the Union was seriously threatened, when the danger was imminent, the Legislature accomplished everything desired, in a manner as satisfactory as it would have been accomplished if the mode now suggested had been adopted. On neither occasion was the Legislature chosen with reference to the events which subsequently occurred, and which devolved upon them the necessity for such action as was taken, and which gave so much satisfaction to the people of Virginia and the who

Under this article, the Constitution of the United States has been amended on three several occasions in our history, and those amendments have all been exceedingly valuable and important. The first ten amendments were ratified by some of the States in 1789, by others in 1790, and by the residue in 1791.--Another amendment was proposed in 1794, which the President of the United States announced in his Message to both Houses, dated January 8th, 1798, as having been adopted by the constitutional number of States. The last amendment was proposed in 1803, and adopted by the constitutional number of States in 1804. These amendments were proposed and adopted at periods less alarming, perhaps, than at the present day. Still, their adoption was necessary to insure peace and quiet to our country, a

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

In the present condition of public affairs, why cannot such additional amendments as the circumstances now existing require, be proposed for ratification and adoption !

The contract in this case was entered into as far back as the year 1848. There being some difference of opinion in regard to the materials used, the manner in which the work was executed and the measurement, Governor Floyd had the work examined and measured by disinterested parties, and on the 30th day of January, 18ng the statement required by our resolution, I ascertained that a bill had on several occasions passed one or the other House of the Legislature, allowing to this contractor upwards of $1,000, with interest thereon from the date of the contract in 1848 till paid, as a balance ascertained to be due to him.

o their own interests alone, and why should we not look to ours? Virginia has immense interests, valuable and important, at stake, and it becomes us to see that those interests are adequately protected. She occupies a position now, as she did in 1833, when she can mediate between the contending parties, North and South, and see that some fair settlement and arrangement of existing differences shall be agreed upon. While I would not have her occupy a position that would require the slightest s not consider this a propitious time to moot the question, and I apprehend, from indications that have been exhibited, that serious difficulties and embarrassments will attend the movement.

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 wit
