ction. Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, offered the following resolution for reference to the Committee on Federal Relations. Resolved. That the Committee on Federal Relations are hereby requested to report the Constitution of the Confederate States of the South as Virginia's ultimatum, and that, they recommend the same to the Northern States for their adoption or rejection; and in order to give them time to act on the same, this Convention will adjourn, to meet again on the first Monday in October, 1861.

It was important at this crisis that the people of the different sections should be unit
