he desired chiefly to direct his remarks. He had listened with much pleasure to the speech of Mr. Wise on the preceding evening, and gave his assurance that his efforts would be met by the Western pon before seceding? This, he thought, was the policy of the gentleman from Princess Anne. Mr. Wise hoped the gentleman would not undertake to state his position. He would do it at the proper ti effect his apprehension that they feared the propositions would be accepted by the North. Mr. Wise desired to be informed if the gentleman classed him among those who entertained this hidden motive. Mr. Scott said he did not have him in his mind. Mr. Wise thought this was strange, when he had classed him with the gentleman from Bedford. Mr. Scott said he was now speaking of another class. Mr. Wise Said that so far as he was concerned, he wanted to form a better union of both the North and the South. What he did fear was the effect of the mode of adjustment proposed b

, was the policy of the gentleman from Princess Anne. Mr. Wise hoped the gentleman would not undertake to state his position. He would do it at the proper time himself, if he had the lungs to do so. While up, he would correct the gentleman from Fauquier in his assertion that there was not our member who, in debate here, or in the Committee of Twenty-One or elsewhere, had avowed or declared the doctrine of "submission." He would inform him, if he was in this predicament, that on the 16th of March a member of this body, who represents the county of Marshall, (Mr. Burley,) presented resolutions here not only avowing submission, but upholding the right of coercion, and worse, the right of revolution against the State. One member had here avowed a doctrine worse than submission, and he believed there were others just as bad. Mr. Scott would not under take to criticise the resolutions of the member from Marshall; he was here, and could speak for himself. If he was an exception

maintained that it was our duty to consult the interests of the entire State, and so to act as to meet the views of the people of the whole Commonwealth. His own portion of the State was as deeply interested in the settlement of this question as any other portion. He lived on the borders of the Potomac, and the people there were connected commercially with the people of Maryland and Pennsylvania. If cut off from those advantages, a blow would be struck at their vital existence. Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, desired to inform the gentleman from Fauquier that he was mistaken as to the important points of trade for the West. The most important point was New Orleans. The pork, potatoes, and other produce were boated down, and on the route had to meet the competition of the free States, as well as at the end of the route. Mr. Scott said he had supposed that the salt, coal and oil of the West found its market in the States bordering on their territory. The cattle of the West find

The quotation from Virgil which he used was "Tanta ne ira animis erelestibus" They had printed it, "Tantan ira animis erelestib." He had, in his written speech, used a Greek quotation from Homer — the famous advice of Hipoloehus to his son, Glancus, when he went to the Trojan war "Alen arrestee sai upeirochon emmenal allan mede genos ischunemen "--"In every glorious act and strife to shine the first and best, and not to disgrace his birth." but, as they had no Greek type, he authorized them to leave that flourish out. He had, however, in his first correction, insisted that the printers should take the legs from Triptolemus Yellowley; but they had still got him as Triptolemus Yellowl

Mr. Stuart, of Doddridge, being entitled to the floor on Mr. Willey's resolution, proceeded to address the Convention. He regretted that so few of the Eastern members were in their seats, because it was to them that he desired chiefly to direct his remarks. He had listened with much pleasure they refused it. If this was persisted in, it would be as easy to move the Alleghanies from their base as to convince the West of the propriety of going out of the Union for any present grievances.

Alluding to the charge of unsoundness on the slavery question, he said that no charge of that nature had been made by any Eastern man; to a Western member belongs that honor, for he alone had done it.--He (Mr. S) claimed, that

Mr. Scott would not under take to criticise the resolutions of the member from Marshall; he was here, and could speak for himself. If he was an exception, so far as he (Mr. S.) was informed, he constituted a solitary exception. He would leave the gentleman from Princess Anne to explain his own position, though he understood that he, like the gentleman from Bedford, (Mr. Goggin,) was for immediate secession, but did not contemplate an immediate conjunction with the Southern Confederacy; that he was one who would wait for co-operation. Mr. Scott then went on to urge the necessity of a consultation with the States whose co-operation was desired, before withdrawing, and leaving them in another Government. Immediate secession, so far from being a measure of peace, he believed would be a measure of war. Within sixty days it would bring on a collision — collision wit
