the latitude that the debate had taken, and that there was so much excitement on the question, which merely proposed the raising of committees to make inquiries. Every grievance complained of by any portion of the citizens of the Common wealth, he thought, ought to be removed by this Convention.-- With regard to overtures to be made to the North, he did not believe that the Convention would rise to the dignity of making any demands about which there was any doubt of acceptance, even by Massachusetts. He came from the much despised Northwest, and though he loved the Union, he did not love it well enough to be willing to lay down all his rights as a man — not well enough to say to Virginia, the good old mother, lay down your imperial robes, clothe yourself in sackcloth, and bend the suppliant knee to Abraham Lincoln.
