They would embrace all that was necessary for the protection of Virginia. There might be some difference of opinion as to the method proposed, of a direct appeal to the people; but his own opinion was, that if it was carried, the Northern people were now prepared to say that they would give to Virginia anything, within the bounds of right, which she thinks proper to demand.
