According to a report before me, five thousand slaves were sent South from Richmond, Virginia, over the Petersburg Road, five thousand over the Tennessee Road, and two thousand by other channels, during the year 1860, valued at one thousand dollars each. Twelve millions of dollars have been received in cash by the State, said the report. The Virginia Legislature, which Mr. Memminger said he found extremely difficult to see through, Mr. Memminger, in an autograph letter before me, written to R. B. Rhett, Jr., editor of The Charleston Mercury, and dated Richmond, Va., January 28, 1860, revealed some of the difficulties in the way of the success of his treasonable mission. He says:-- It is extremely difficult to see through the Virginia Legislature. The Democratic party is not a unit, and the Whigs hope to clea

e. venerable John J. Crittenden offered to the Senate a series of amendments of the Constitution, and Joint Resolutions, for the protection of Slavery and the interests of the slaveholders, which, embodied, are known in history as the, Crittenden Compromise. The amendments proposed were substantially as; follows:-- I. To re-establish, as a boundary between Free and Slave-labor States forever, the parallel of 36° 30‘ north latitude, running from the southern boundary of Missouri to the Pacific Ocean, and known as the Missouri Compromise line. North of that line there should be no Slavery; south of it, the system might flourish, and all interference with it by the Congress should be forbidden. Not only this, but the Congress, by law, should protect this) property of the slave-owners from interference by all the departments of the Territorial government, during its continuance as such.

This significant question was answered in, the affirmative, ten years later, by the madmen at Montgomery, who formed such Confederacy and new constitution ; and before the rebellion that ensued was crushed, the Confederacy wof dollars. When, as we shall hereafter observe, Virginia hesitated to join the Southern Confederacy, formed at Montgomery, Alabama, in February, 1861, the threat was held out that there should be a clause in the Constitution of the Confederacy pas a basis for a provisional government; and to invite the seceding States to meet South Carolina in convention at Montgomery, Alabama, on the 13th of February, 1861, for the purpose of forming a Southern Confederacy.

me. Memminger's manifesto, which was concluded with a ludicrous appropriation of the closing words of the great Declaration of Independence by the Fathers, in 1776, viewed in the light of truth and soberness, appears in itself a solemn protest against the wicked actions of the conspirators at that time, and ever afterward. It also presents a fair specimen of that counterfeit statesmanship which for years was palmed off on the confiding people of the Slave-labor States as genuine. The Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle and Sentinel, a leading newspaper in the South, said, twelve days after the Ordinance of Secession was passed in the South Carolina Convention:--It is a sad thing to observe, that those who are determined on immediate secession have not the coolness, the capacity, or the nerve, to propose something after that. . . . No statesmanship has ever been exhibited yet, so far as we know, by those who will dissolve the Union. --January 1, 1861. On the same day when the Declar
