The hour of 11 having arrived, the Convention resolved itself into Committee of the Whole, (Mr. Southall, of Albemarle, in the chair,) and proceeded to consider the reports from the Committee on Federal Relations, with the substitute offered by the gentleman from Harrison. Mr.Baldwin, of Augusta, being entitled to the floor, resumed his remarks, adverting in the outset to the tendency to introduce subjects in debate which had no bearing upon the great question at issue. He understood gentlemen to acquiesce yesterday in his declaration, that the agitation of the slavery question at the North was the only grievance of which Virginia had to complain. Mr.Morton, of Orange, desired to know if the gentleman represented this as an admission from the entire body of secessionists in t

ple into a revolution. On this idea, our Southern brethren seem to have acted. He went on to speak of the assertion that they were justified in not conferring with Virginia, because she refused a year ago to go into a conference on the subject. He asked if the cases were similar. She declined a conference because, she said, the time had not come. It was a very different thing to decline a conference then, to declining it as the Southern States had done, and to go into a revolution. South Carolina had undertaken the task, with a determination to confer with nobody. It was common to hear that the embarrassments of business required the secession of Virginia. How further disruption was to restore confidence to the people in this respect, he was unable to see. Seven States had seceded de facto, and it was now for us to determine whether we would follow them or not. He denied that it was a commercial or political necessity for Virginia to follow them. He thought he could see that t

the question of how Virginia was to get out of the Union, he illustrated by repeating an anecdote of a boy who was interrogated on the subject; his reply was that he "guessed she would have to go by water, in a dug-out." It had been said that North Carolina would follow Virginia, that her voice was so potential that the people of North Carolina would reverse their solemn decision, and go where Virginia led. Would it not be at least respectful, he asked, to consult her on the subject? With this North Carolina would reverse their solemn decision, and go where Virginia led. Would it not be at least respectful, he asked, to consult her on the subject? With this remark Mr. Baldwin commenced an argument in favor of a Border State Conference. He repudiated the idea of submitting to any oppressive measures from the North. It was his determination, and the determination of those who thought with him, to demand and to have full and sufficient guarantees for the future, or they would have a "row." They meant to present to the North the alternative, of submitting to their demand, or a peaceable separation. The irrepressible conflict doctrine of Wm. H. S

Mr.Baldwin said he had made the allusion to show the recognition of the dividing line in carrying out what the gentleman and his friends called the crowing act of his Administration. He then proceeded to speak of its recognition in the admission of Oregon, and its approval by President Polk. Virginia recognized the right to apply the Wilmot Proviso where it did not interfere with the Compromise line. She also approved the Compromise of 1850 as the great measure of peace, and both parties in the State reiterated it in their political platform. He thought he was justified in defying the production of a single act of the General Government, in reference to slavery, which did not receive, at some time or other, the distinct approval of Virginia.--He hoped, if any gentleman should do him the honor to notice, in the subsequent discussion of this question, any portion of his argument,

He then reviewed the acts of various Administrations, showing that the line of compromise had been recognized in the settlement of all the vexed questions before the nation. Coming to the Missouri Compromise, he said it was sanctioned by Virginia's Senators and by Southern members of the Cabinet, and received the approving voice of Virginia herself. The next measure of slavery restriction was under the Administration of the distinguished gentleman from Charles City, now a member of this body. Mr. Tyler asked to be allowed to call the gentleman's attention to a fact in connection with the Missouri Compromise. He had stated it in the main correctly, but had forgotten a portion of the history. He (Mr. T.) was a member of Congress at the time, and, with eighteen of his colleagues, voted against it.--He would have stood there against it until he had perished, if he could thereby have defeated the measure, for he believed it was unconstitutional.

efore the gentleman made his defence. Mr.Tyler merely wished to set history right in regard to the annexation of that State. It was the result of the acquisition of territory, and treaties were made in accordance with the existing law.

He understood gentlemen to acquiesce yesterday in his declaration, that the agitation of the slavery question at the North was the only grievance of which Virginia had to complain. Mr.Morton, of Orange, desired to know if the gentleman represented this as an admission from the entire body of secessionists in the Convention. Mr.Baldwin said he distinctly understood the gentleman from Albemarle (Mr. Holcombe) to acquiesce in the proposition as he stated it yesterday. Mr.Holcombe said he signified his individual assent to the proposition that the action of the General Government on the slavery question was not such as to justify Virginia in taking the issue of Union or disunion; he

d argued upon the point at some length.--With regard to territorial expansion and protection, he assumed that we had no territory now in possession which was adapted to slave labor; and even if we had, there were no surplus slaves to take there. He alluded to the importation of Africans by the South, to show that there was really a deficiency in slave labor. To disrupt the Union upon a question so devoid of policy or reason, was abject infatuation. The Missouri Compromise was the great line of peace, and he looked upon it as a happy omen that every measure of adjustment proposed, maintained this line of 36 30. He thought it indicated a disposition to return to the spirit and principles which actuated the fathers in the formation of the Government. At this point, Mr. Baldwin, who had spoken three hours, yielded the floor, and, On motion of Mr.Gray, of Rockingham, the Committee rose and reported progress. On motion of Mr.Hall, of Lancaster, the Convention adjourned.
