monwealth assembled in this hall, for the purpose of ratifying the Constitution of the United States. The one main object was to consolidate, not the Government, but the Union of these States. Causes which it is not now necessary to enumerate, but which are fast passing into history, have placed that Constitution in imminent peril. Virginia has been called to the rescue, and well might the call be made upon her, the country expects it at her hands. Her honored son, whose ashes rest at Mount Vernon, the political Mecca of all future ages, was the President of the body who framed the Constitution.--another son, whose brow was encircled with a civic wreath which never fades, was its Chief architect; and five of her native sons have been called to the position of Chief Magistrate of the Republic.--the responsibility resting upon us is tremendous. It cannot be that a Government thus founded can now be permitted to fail, without reproach to the wisdom of its founders, as well as our own

entury, in battle and in peace, now floats above this capital, with one star which represents this ancient Commonwealth. God grant that it may remain there forever. But I know I speak the sentiment of every member of this body, when I say, that it must remain with its original lustre, undimmed and untarnished. [Applause.] We shall demand full and equal rights with New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and nothing more. We would scorn to ask more than would be conceded to the little States of Delaware and Rhode Island. Rhode Island! God bless her! a little State, but with a heart big enough for all. She was the first to repeal her Personal Liberty laws, and it is hoped that the others will follow her example. I repeat, that the responsibility resting upon this body is awful. I consented to be a candidate for a seat here with fear and trembling. The people will revise our action, and I trust that our measures will be brought to such a conclusion as that some of our sisters of the
