. The act of Virginia, ratifying the Constitution, expressly makes the ratification by and on behalf of the people of the State. The gentleman from Northampton was objecting to the very term in which the Constitution was ratified. The amendment was like the others, hyper-critical, and he hoped no modi fication would be engrafted, merely to gratify a hyper-critic. Mr. Fisher briefly rejoined, sustaining his previous position.

Mr. Baldwin hoped the resolution would be retained. It contained the only remonstrance; against action on the part of the seceded States to provoke hostilities; and this, he thought, was the distasteful feature to those who opposed the resolution. Mr. Bruce further urged the propriet
