ole, Mr.Southall in the chair, for the purpose of considering the report of the Committee on Federal Relations. The pending question was on Mr. Scott's amendment (as amended) to the 14th resolution, viz; "And in the event that satisfactory responses on the part of the non-slaveholding States be not made to the proposed amendments to the Constitution by the time appointed for the re-assembling of this body, it is the opinion of this Convention that the said States of Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas, ought to assemble in primary Conventions, and in conjunction with this State, convene a Congress of the said States, composed of delegates to be appointed by the respective Conventions thereof, for the purpose of recommending an amended Constitution of Government upon which the union of the said States and the Confederated States, with such of the non-slaveholding States as may concur therein, can be safely effected, to which Cong

of the people. In conclusion, Mr. S. briefly expressed his objections to Mr. Wise's amendment. Mr.Wise, in reply, criticized the position which Mr. Summers was assuming when the expiration of his allotted time compelled him to stop — namely, that the people of Virginia were not to be entitled to representation upon the three-fifths principle in the proposed Congress of States. He then quoted the example of Gen. Nelson, who sighted the gun which drove a ball through his own castle at Yorktown, and told the gentleman from Kanawha that when the interests of his country required it, true patriotism dictated that he, too, should send a ball through his castle; he ought to consent to the destruction of his interests, if such a course would save the honor of his State. The vote was taken, and Mr. Wise's amendment was defeated, as follows: Yeas.--Messrs. Ambler, Jas. Barbour, Blakey, Boisseau, Borst, Bouldin, Boyd, Branch, Bruce, Cabell, Cecil, Chambliss, Coffman, Conn, Flour

striking out the word "responses" and inserting the word "answers." A member,(in his seat.)--The gentleman evidently wants to make a speech. Mr. Morton proceeded to explain his amendment, which required but few words. He then took ground against the policy adopted by members on the Union side, which opposed any independent, separate action of Virginia until after a consultation with the Border States. His argument was cut short by the expiration of his time. Mr. Leake, of Goochland, said a word or two in opposition to the amendment, thus giving Mr. Morton an opportunity to resume. Mr. Morton controverted the theory of a Border Conference, proposed by the gentleman from Fauquier, (Mr. Scott.) His own position was, secession first, and co-operation afterwards. Experience had demonstrated its propriety, in the action of the Southern States which presented an example unparalleled in the history of nations. They had a permanent Government, with a credit to-day high

r. Baldwin moved to amend Mr.Scott's amendment by inserting after the word "Government," the words "to be submitted for ratification to the people of the several States." Mr. Baldwin spoke in favor of his amendment. Gentlemen on the other side, under the impression that a change had been wrought in the sentiment of the people, had suddenly become enamored of the popular voice. He had now inserted the principle, and he wanted to see if they would stand up to it. Mr. Tredway, of Pittsylvania, opposed both the amendment of the gentleman from Fauquier and the amendment offered by the gentleman from Augusta. He opposed them because of the delay involved. He went on to show that his people were suffering under the present state of things, and protracted delay would prostrate their interests completely. Mr. Baldwin thought that the experience of the last election in this State had taught us that there need be no delay worth speaking of. The commercial distress to which the

He went on to o tie the hands of the people. They were to be denied the privilege of voting until it was too late. Mr. Scott, of Fauquier, did not propose to discuss the question as to who best represented the people here; but he hoped the amendment of the ge. By the language of the resolution, however, it would seem that the matter was all fixed. He asked the gentleman from Fauquier, if such was the case, when the time of re-assembling was to be?

Mr.Wise, in explaining his amendment, indulged in some severe thrusts at those gentlemen who maintained that the great interests of trade in Western Virginia were indissolubly connected with the border non-slaveholding States. Mr.Summers said that the gentleman from Princess Anne had not uttered a word in favor of his amendment, but had confined his remarks exclusively to a reply to those submitted by himself on yesterday. Mr. Summers did not intend to discriminate between the interests of particular sections of the State, but included all the border interests, as connected with the States which he named.--He claimed that this exhibite

The President said that when the resolution was received the fact had not been ascertained that there was no quorum. Mr.Wise went on with his objections, when Mr.Morton reminded the President that the hour had arrived for going into Committee of the Whole. The President said the gentleman from Princess Anne was on the floor, and he could not call him down. Mr.Holladay, of Portsmouth, raised a point of order, but the President could not entertain it. Mr.Wise contended that if there was no quorum present last evening, it was the duty of the chair to have ascertained the fact before receiving the resolution.
