at all Virginians might be relieved from service against any Southern State during the pendency of efforts at adjustment. Mr. Wise favored the proposition; he contended that the country ought not to be kept in this state of suspense. He concurred in every sentiment expressed by the gentleman from Fauquier, (Mr. Scott,) but the question arises what is to be considered aggressive policy? He asked, why would the President evacuate Fort Sumter, for instance, and occupy the Tortugas and Fort Pickens? If this question were asked him, he would say, perhaps, that one was an inland fort, while the others were necessary to the free navigation of the Gulf and the Mississippi river, and were therefore as national. In what relation does that put Virginia? She stands, with her Fortress Monroe, in the same position that Florida stands towards the Tortugas. We were directly involved in this question.

He hoped that any resolution here passed would not only express the desire that the President's policy should be pacific, but also institute such inquiries as might enable Virginia to judge for herself of the nature of his policy.

Mr. Scott, of Fauquier, heartily concurred in the object which the gentleman from Montgomery (Mr. Preston) had in view. He could not believe that the President would hesitate, if approached respectfully, to give a full and frank response to the interrogatories.

at the blood should spout and the waters be discolored; but if the Union men stood firm, the whale would soon show the white of his belly. [Laughter.] He did not want to go home and tell his constituents that he got so frightened that he had to send men right off to Washington as hard as they could rip, to see what Mr. Lincoln was going to do. He opposed secession, opposed coercion, and believed that the course of Virginia, thus far, had stayed the hand of civil war. Mr. Tredway, of Pittsylvania, was not among those referred to by the gentleman who had just taken his seat. He had come here with a view to make every honorable effort to adjust the difficulties, on condition that a policy of peace was to be preserved. Unusual events were now transpiring, and it was the duty of Virginia to make a respectful request of the President for information which would materially affect the future action of this Convention. He was opposed to an adjournment until the suspense now hanging lik

g unfair was intended. Mr. Preston desired to bring the question back from the discussion debate, to the real object of the resolutions. The gentleman from Harrison had read a dispatch from a newspaper with regard to some movement at Washington, and he (Mr. P.) desired to know if he insinuated, directly or indirectly, that tHarvie asked the extension of the usual courtesy to him, to enable him to read that portion of the dispatch in the New York Herald which the gentleman from Harrison had omitted. (Calls for "Question," cries of "Leave," &c.) Mr. Carlile said he should claim the privilege of reply. After some difficulty, and against the protest of Mr. Hall, of Marion, Mr. Harvie succeeded in obtaining the floor. He said the gentleman from Harrison had taken occasion to make a fling at those with whom he (Mr. Harvie) acted, by bringing in an extract from the New York Herald. He would summon the witness back into court, to show the character of those who

an would be to frame a proposition upon which the whole Convention could unite.--He thought the action of the Convention thus far had been wise and proper, (he was not speaking now under instructions, but upon his own ground,) and personally he agreed with the course of proceedings. Recent events; however, called for some decisive and united action, and he hoped the Convention would vote down the call for the previous question, and let the whole matter go to a committee. Mr. Harvie, of Amelia, would not have said a word upon this question but for the remarks of the gentleman from Prince George (Mr. Rives.) It was a matter of indifference to him whether the Commissioners were sent to Washington or not; he believed that sooner or later Virginia would find her true position. He had risen to disabuse the minds of the members of the impression sought to be created, that he and his friends had anything to do with inaugurating the movement. In offering an ordinance of secession. he h

more than a respectful request to the President to indicate his policy. He was solicitous that the information should be obtained, but entirely repudiated any such course as had been suggested by gentlemen this morning. The plan presented by the gentleman from Augusta (Mr. Stuart) met his views, as calculated to attain the object in view. It was to authorize the President of the Convention to communicate to the President of the United States the wishes of this body. Mr. Flournoy, of Halifax, was surprised at the opposition which the resolutions of the gentleman from Montgomery had encountered. Virginia, by an overwhelming vote against an Ordinance of Secession, on Thursday last, fully indicated to the President the policy which she intended to pursue, and why should she not respectfully ask of the President information concerning his policy? He could not account for the change that had come over the minds of members since Saturday evening, and thought it exhibited something
