n they were. He was a slaveholder, and represented a slaveholding constituency. 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.

hat part which denies to slaveholders the right to carry their property into free States. He made a brief secession speech, alluding to the fact that a Black Republican President was in process of inauguration at Washington, and if he had his way the President of the Virginia Convention would at the same time be proclaiming 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 Virginia, Tennessee an

they thought a continuance in the Union under present circumstances would lead to their retirement, and this retiring process had much to do with the secession excitement. With regard to the Peace Conference, gentlemen had condemned it by resolutions before its action had been officially reported to this body. Such hot haste he considered disrespectful to the Commissioners. The proposition of the Peace Conference commended itself to him, and he believed it would to the people 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 the Committee on Federal Relations: Resolved, That the States of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware, ought to meet in Convention, with a vi

To consideration of the fact that many members were absent, the resolution was, on motion of Mr. Brown, laid on the table. The National difficulties. Mr. Chambliss, of Greensville, (by leave,) offered a series of resolutions, prefaced by a lengthy preamble written by that enlightened Hon. Judge Allen, and by him presented to a meeting in Botetourt county, Va. Mr. Chamber adds to the preamble the following: And the Conference, lately held in Washington city, having failed to accomplish, to the satisfaction of this Convention, the objects of its mission, therefore this Convention declares-- 1st.

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 theten 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.

an example in the South American empire. Another result would be the commencement of the abolition of slavery, first in Virginia, and ultimately in the whole South. This was the idea of Sumner, Phillips and Garrison.--They wanted to draw a belt of fire around us. Whether it be right or wrong, the moral sentiment of the world was against slavery, and the force of all would be exerted against it.--Entangling foreign alliances would be another evil result. If the Union is dissolved, too, Great Britain could conquer the South, and she had no means of preventing it. He said it was a very easy thing to pull down this Government, but very difficult to build it up again. As to the question where shall Virginia go, he said he would go nowhere, but stay where we are, and plant the State firmly upon the Constitution. The perils of the new Government at the South were alluded to. The provisional Constitution had no force derived from the people; but they were going to work to make a permanen

Mr. Mallory, of Brunswick, (by leave,) offered the following, which was referred to the Committee on Federal Relations: Resolved, That the States of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware, ought to meet in Convention, with a view to concerted and united action, to determine where they will go, whether with the North or the South--or whether they will establish a Central Confederacy. The Southern Commissioners.

The President laid before the Convention copies of the addresses delivered by the Commissioners from South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi, furnished by themselves for publication in compliance with a resolution of this body. Mr. Goode, of Bedford, offered a resolution calling for the printing of 10,000 copies of the addresses, to be distributed equally among tct of the great Democratic party, put a seal upon it, and it did not appear again until very recently. In regard to Mississippi, he said she had been dragged out in opposition to the popular voice. He then read from a speech of Howell Cobb, of Georgia, delivered some years ago, embodying is argument against the constitutional right of secession. The evils of the day, as announced here, were next commented on. First, the acrimony with which Southern institutions had been pursued by Northe

ny able men here think, and as many able judges decided, that there was no constitutional right of secession, the remedy can have no weight with a constitution-loving people. If 100% proper construction of the Federal Constitution justifies secession, we have never had a Union at all; and if the position could be maintained, he was willing that the principle of law should be brought to bear upon such an illicit intercourse. He would admit at such right. He alluded to the purchase of Louisiana and Texas. He could never believe that the Government would have expended such a vast amount for that purpose, if they were to be allowed to walk off with the spoils at their own pleasure. If the doctrine were true, in my hour of trial, a State may go out of the Union, leave those with whom she had been allied and join the enemy, or go out at her convenience, and leave the debt incurred by war for the other States to pay. The right of State to secede was spurned from the Con of Virginia,
