ich were deemed ample and sufficient, and the pride for them cheerfully paid, in power over commerce and navigation. Notwithstanding all which, at the first Congress agitation began. The act of 1793, known as the fugitive slave act, was passed to vitalize the clause of the Constitution authorizing the return of fugitive slaves. Gen. Washington was the first to claim the benefit of it, but he gave up his claim sooner than provoke the howl which was about to be raised by the fanatics of Massachusetts. And he, the Father of his Country and the President of the United States, was denied the benefit of a clause of the Constitution and of an act of Congress intended to give it effect. As time swept on agitation continued increasing in strength and volume until, in the great struggle of 1819-'29, it was openly proclaimed by the North, in debate, that the admission of Missouri was a question of power, and as such overrode all other considerations.

North Carolina remained out of this Union until the 21st of November, 1789, as Rhode Island did until the 29th of May, 1790. It is obvious that they were sovereign States, complete nationalities, and might have remained separate, "free and independent States." Undeniably, the old Union, under the first Constitution, which took us triumphantly through the revolutionary war, and to which North Carolina and Rhode Island seemed so anxious to adhere, was dissolved by the withdrawal of a majority of the members thereof, and another substituted therefore. Was this secession? Let the facts stated give the reply. Was it right for a portion of the States to disregard or destroy a compact with those of their associates who withheld or refused their consent? Allow me to give a short time to the consideration of this inquiry. I

sable. --" Without the influence of such considerations it would not have been adopted by the Convention. Wide and deep rooted opposition to it was found to pervade the public mind throughout the Confed racy.--Three of the most powerful minds of the day, in a series of numbers, now known as the Federalist, undertook the task of reconciling the people to its adoption. Many of the States yielded their assent to it with extreme reluctance. Virginia, after formidable opposition, headed by Patrick Henry, sent her ratification of it, with a number of amendments, designed to guard against certain constructions of which it was susceptible, and which, with others, were subsequently adopted. And it is certain that the States never would have adopted this untried and much-doubted experiment had there been any question of their right to withdraw at pleasure from the union it was designed to form. When the Constitution was, however, adopted, it was obvious to the most ordinary sagacity, t

And yet she first tried it upon corn, then enlarged it, but never made it general, and adhered to it through all the dark hours of her revolution, when she was rent by intestine dissensions and engaged in war with the whole of Europe, and never abandoned it until she had resumed a specie currency, composed her intestine fends, and brought continental Europe to her feet. What occasion had France to adhere to this policy when she led her armies from thFrance to adhere to this policy when she led her armies from the stores of other nations, and replenished her treasury by contributions upon them?

It is well known that this question at that time seriously endangered the Union. Upon its unfortunate adjustment did agitation cease its efforts? No; its work was only partially accomplished, and agitation was resumed with increased activity, in utter disregard of that fraternal spirit without which the cry of Union was nothing more than an empty sound.

And in that day no one doubted the right to reform the existing Government and replace it with another whenever any of the parties to it should see fit to do so. It was confidently concluded, by those who believe in the progressive civilization of our race, that our revolution had firmly established this great right. It had been distinctly proclaimed to the world, as the ground upon which the thirteen dependent colonies of Great Britain justified their separation from the mother country, and the assumption of the rights, powers and duties of independent States. The great struggle had been successfully fought upon it. The declaration containing it had passed into every civilized language — Our ancestors had acted upon it after their independence had been recognized.

At the conclusion of the reading of the address, the prescribed oaths of office were administered to Gov. Smith, by Judge Moncure, of the Virginia Court of Appeals.

The ceremonies incident to the inauguration yesterday of the new Governor of Virginia were of a plain and simple, but interesting and imposing character. Long before the hour appointed for the administration of the oath of office, the spacious Hall of the House of Delegates was crowded with an audience composed of ladies, citizens, and soldiers, and a number of the members of the Confederate Congress.
