We were thus hermetically sealed; and by their homestead legislation, the Republicans hold out inducements to our citizens to emigrate, and it would tend eventually to Africanise Virginia, for they could not take their slave property with them to the Territories. With regard to the seventh section, he asked why it was, when professing to make the General Government pay for fugitive slaves, they dropped the language used by Mr. Crittenden. He drew a comparison between the parallel sections of the two propositions, showing that the Peace Conference only proposed compensation for slaves when they were rescued from their owners by a mob or riotous assemblage.

The speaker then proceeded to consider the question in its commercial aspect; whether the interest of V

Mr. Goggin, of Bedford, said that be had some propositions to offer, by way of amendment to the report of the Committee on Federal Relations, at present under consideratiof the pending difficulties, through the agency of the Conference herein provided for, and by a returning sense of justice among the people of all sections. Mr. Goggin said the position which he thus desired Virginia to assume was no new one to him, and for the purpose of disabusing the minds of those who might suppose his opifederated States, and the indicated purpose to adopt a tariff for revenue in the permanent Government. Alluding to the position of the gentleman from Bedford, (Mr. Goggin,) he proposed to show that the agricultural interests of Virginia would be better protected under a free trade with the South than under a free trade with the N
