He next alluded to Mr. Goggin as a member of the Whig Convention which adopted a platform for the preservation of the Union and the Constitution — and he believed the gentleman from Halifax (Mr. Flournoy) stood there also. They backed up Mr. Fillmore, as he did, in enforcing the laws in Boston; but now when they were to be enforced on this side of the line, it was a very different thing. His people were a law-abiding people; devocivil war, he had offered his resolution in the hope of preventing that calamity. The moment coercion is attempted, the Union will be broken up. He did not intend to discuss the question of coercion. It was ably discussed by the gentleman from Halifax, (Mr. Flournoy,) every word of whose speech he endorsed. His resolution proposed to call a conference of the border States, in order that Virginia might consult with them as to what ought to be done. If the gentleman from Harrison was a Union

yet we wanted expansion! Slavery was governed by soil, by climate, by interests; and where those were adverse, it would not go. South Carolina spurned the causes which were alleged here for a dissolution of the Union. The present secession movement was initiated in South Carolina, where they never lost a slave. South Carolina tells you frankly it is because of the "irrepressible conflict" between free and slave labor. The doctrine of the right of a State to secede originated in Massachusetts, the hot-bed of all the "isms," in 1807, because of the embargo. In 1808 the electors met in this city to east their votes for Madison as President, and one of the regular toasts at the electoral dinner was, "The Union of the States--the majority must govern--'tis treason to secede.

The Peace Conference, inaugurated by Virginia, had proved an abortion, and she can now do nothing by herself; but in concert with the Border States, much might be done. Tennessee and North Carolina had voted against Conventions of their people; Kentucky and Maryland had taken no action, and there was no indication of a movement in Missouri. It was due to them and to Virginia that there should be a conference. He condemned the hasty action of South Carolina and would condemn it in Virginia. But the people were in a state of feverish excitement, and wanted action on the subject of coercion. He called for a vote on the resolutions. Mr. Brent, of Alexandria, moved that the Convention adjourn; and on that motion Mr. Cox, of Chesterfield, called for the yeas and nays, but withdrew it. The Convention then adjourned.

nly convinced the people of what they thought before — that they were not suitable representatives of popular sentiment. All the power in this country is in the people. It has for a time been usnrped; but as sure as the sun shines in yonder sky, that power will yet rebuke the effort to overthrow and destroy the best fabric of free government that ever existed upon earth. He commended to his hearers a perusal of the 39th number of the Federalist; and went on to allude to the efforts of Patrick Henry, George Mason, Luther Martin, and other patriots, to lay the foundation of a Government for a free people. It is amazing that with so many sources from whence we can derive the purposes of the Federal Government, gentlemen will get up and contend for a principle for which they can find no argument. No man contends for the power of coercion. --Why, then, continue to build cob-houses, that a breath can knock down? Is there anything in the Inaugural to justify the assertion that it breat
