es were made in accordance with the existing law. 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, that he would give particular attention to the cha

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.

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 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 did not admit that he acquiesced in the entire policy of the Government. Mr.Baldwin resumed. He did not expect to find gentlemen who approved every act of the General Government, item by item; but he asince it gave the distinguished gentleman from Albemarle an opportunity of making a graceful disclaimer of having imputed to Virginia a degraded position. Mr.Holcombe here distinctly defined his position on this point, quoting from his speech that portion as to what might be her degradation in the future. Mr.Baldwin went

Abraham Lincoln (search for this): article 1
he asserted that the general policy of that Government had been directed by Virginia's own sons, or those of her choice, up to the time of the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln. 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 ball doubt or controversy. If they have now got possession of the Government in all its different departments, who is responsible? At the time of the election of Lincoln, all the other bulwarks of the Constitution were unbroken, and who is responsible, before God and man, for their abandonment? Who has withdrawn fourteen from thee things should be stated. Why had they left us helpless and hopeless in the hands of those who they tell us are our enemies.--When he thought of the election of Lincoln, which all here regarded as a wrong to the entire South, and thought of the firing of a hundred guns on the reception of the news in Charleston, he was led to inq
