ered a resolution calling for the printing of 10,000 copies of the addresses, to be distributed equally among the members, for circulation. Mr. E. B. Hall moved to lay the resolution on the table, and on this motion Mr. Goode called for the yeas and nays. The vote was then taken, and resulted — years 64, nays 42. So the resolution to print was laid on the table. Unfinished business. The Convention proceeded to the consideration of the resolutions offered some days ago by Mr. Moore, of Rockbridge. Mr. Willey, of Monongalia, being entitled to the floor, addressed the Convention. He did not propose to enter upon a full discussion of the great questions before the Convention, but to notice briefly some of the arguments tied in favor of secession by gentlemen upon this floor. He alluded to the influences that had been brought to bear upon the body, and claimed the privilege of expressing his mind fully and freely, independent of influences here or elsewhere.--Free

Mr. B. went on to make some correction of his speech, as reported in the Enquirer, for which he did not blame the reporters, since he could not imagine how they could hear what a man said in this hall. Committee on printing. The President announced the following committee under Mr. Wickham's resolution to make certain investigations of the contract for printing the debates: Messrs. Wickham, Richardson, Hughes, Staples of Patrick, and Dent. The Southern Commissioners again. Mr. Montague asked leave to record his vote against laying on the table the resolution for printing the addresses of the Southern Commissioners, he having been necessarily absent at the time the vote was taken. Leave was granted accordingly. Mr. Branch moved that the resolution be taken up from the table. He had voted under a misapprehension, having forgotten that the Convention had passed a resolution requesting the Co

f some "miserable Southern Confederacy." Secession destroys our nationality. The flag which has waved in triumph and protected our commerce all over the world, would no longer be as a shield to our people wherever they might be. He knew the Southern States had gone, but if Virginia stands fast, the wanderers may be eventually brought back, and the Union restored. In conclusion he returned his thanks for the attention which had been given to his remarks. Personal explanation. Mr. Baylor arose to a personal explanation, and proceeded to correct a misrepresentation of his remarks a few days ago, in some newspaper, (the reporter could not hear the name,) relative to the responsibility of the Black Republicans for the John Brown raid. He had not said that Black Republican men were not responsible for it, but that the party was not. The Chicago platform did not endorse the John Brown raid, but denounced it. If they had endorsed it in their platform, they never could have elec

Mr. Montague asked leave to record his vote against laying on the table the resolution for printing the addresses of the Southern Commissioners, he having been necessarily absent at the time the vote was taken. Leave was granted accordingly. Mr. Branch moved that the resolution be taken up from the table. He had voted under a misapprehension, having forgotten that the Convention had passed a resolution requesting the Commissioners to furnish copies for publication; and to refuse to print them now would be an act of discourtesy. The resolution was taken up, and Mr. Branch moved that the words "ten thousand" be stricken out. The motion was agreed to, and after sundry suggestions, the blank was filled by inserting 3,040 as the number to be printed, and the resolution, as amended, passed. On motion of Mr. Echols, the Convention adjourned.

laiming these cession of Virginia from the Confederacy. The President announced the reference of the resolutions to the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Carlile, of Harrison, desired to reply to the gentleman from Greensville. The President said it would not be in order, as the resolutions were already referred. Mr. Carlile, said, with the leave of the Convention he would make a few remarks.--Perhaps it was fortunate that the member from Greensville had not his way. The secession movement, he believed, had its origin and was carried on in contradiction of the will of the people. Wherever the people had been allowed to speak — in Virginipeople also. Mr. Leare, of Goochland, inquired if there was any question before the Convention. If not, the gentleman from Harrison was out of order. Mr. Carlile said if any gentleman objected to his going on, he would take his seat. Mr. Mallory, of Brunswick, (by leave,) offered the following, which was referred to

ent that he would not dare to use before his people, and would only say in reply that if Virginia was of such easy virtue as to be corrupted by a little Federal pap, her honor was not worth preserving. The speaker adverted briefly to the John Brown raid, in regard to which the dignity of the State had been vindicated. If the State seceded, her border would be constantly exposed to such raids. In reply to the position of the gentleman from Middlesex, who had read from Washington's Farewell Address to show that the experiment of Government had failed, he alluded to the vastness of the American empire, and thought if we were true to ourselves we were but on the threshold of our greatness. He then proceeded to allude to the evils to result from secession. The country would not only be divided into a Northern and a Southern Confederacy, but in course of time it would be divided into petty Confederacies, and then would come constant warfare, of which we have an example in the So

Mr. Willey, of Monongalia, being entitled to the floor, addressed the Convention. He did not propose to enter upon a full discussion of the great questions before the Contates. This he would ever oppose, but would not resort to secession. He would never submit to inequality. (Some person in the lobby gave a slight hiss, which Mr. Willey sarcastically rebuked.) Secession. he contended, would never secure our equal rights in the Territories. Turning our backs upon the Territories and giving the
