the North that we were involved in difficulty upon a domestic question, and consequently retard any action proposed by the Convention upon the National difficulties. He thought the subject of taxation should at once be laid upon the table, and that it ought not again to be agitated. The people demanded no such action, and the Convention was called for no such purpose. The Constitution, as remodeled in the last Convention, provided for the continuance of the existing order of things until 1865, and the people having ratified that instrument, the inference was that they were satisfied that the arrangement should not be disturbed previous to that period. The present time, he contended, was the most inopportune of all others for the agitation of the question. At the proper time he would unite with them in an effort to render the organic law acceptable to all sections; but the present he did not consider the proper time, and he hoped the resolutions would be laid upon the table.

solutions on the table, but withdrew it at the request of Mr. Turner, of Jackson, who proceeded to relieve the Northwest from the charge of unfair dealing in introducing the question of taxation. He showed that the act calling the Convention contemplated a change in the organic law of the State. Mr. Turner raised a question of order, to the effect that similar resolutions, offered by himself, some time ago, were now upon the table; but the question was not pressed. Mr. Early, of Franklin, spoke of the newspaper report, that there existed a bargain among the members from the different sections; that if the Eastern men would vote on the side of Union, the Northwest would yield the question of taxation. He knew nothing of such a bargain. He was not prepared to vote for a change in the organic law of the State, his people were interested in the great questions now agitating the nation; but he was willing to vote for a resolution to confide the subject to a committee.

Taxation and representation. The pending question at the adjournment on Saturday was on a motion of Mr. Sea cohter,, ofin the Commonwealth, and that they report amendments of the an Article of the Constitution accordingly. In consideration of the small attendance of members, Mr. Brown, of Preston, appealed to the gentleman from Campbell to withdraw his motion to lay the resolutions on the table, Mr. Slaughter declined to withdraw the moti Committee on Federal Relations, and some absent from the city. Mr. Slaughter now consented to withdraw his motion to lay the resolutions on the table. Mr. Brown proceeded to address the Convention upon the subject of the resolutions,commencing with a defence of the institution of slavery. He contended that the keeping o

mond. He repelled the statement that there was any abolitionism among the people whom he represented: One thing was certain — that, upon the poll-books of the section represented by the gentleman from Harrison were recorded votes for Abraham Lincoln, while the poll-books of Richmond exhibited no such record. He thought it a condescension in the Convention to be indulging in crimination and recrimination, and in appeals to local prejudice. There was a higher duty to perform.--The countthe Union, he did not love it well enough to be willing to lay down all his rights as a man — not well enough to say to Virginia, the good old mother, lay down your imperial robes, clothe yourself in sackcloth, and bend the suppliant knee to Abraham Lincoln. The President here announced that the hour had arrived for going into Committee of the Whole for the purpose of considering the report of the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Doeman, of Rockbridge, moved that the execution of t

; but the present he did not consider the proper time, and he hoped the resolutions would be laid upon the table. Mr. Johnson, of Richmond city, said he would not have participated in this debate, but for the extraordinary remark of the gentlemhole Northwest. He relied upon common reports in forming this opinion, having no personal knowledge of the fact. Mr. Johnson said he hoped there were none, either there or here. He would, however, caution his friend from Harrison to seek for ould have all they wanted; and he had the temerity to say he did this without consultation with his constituents.--He (Mr. Johnson) hoped that the constituents of that gentleman would not sustain him in this, and that he would find himself solitary Randolph expressed a sense of delicacy at throwing himself upon the indulgence of the Convention for another day; but Mr. Johnson, of Richmond, assured him that there was no necessity for being influenced by such a feeling.

They could report at an adjourned session of the Convention, for it was pretty well understood that the Convention would adjourn over. Mr. Wilson, of Harrison, alluded to the constant charge of disloyalty and abolitionism, brought against the people of the Northwest. It was time it should be stopped. He admitted that there were abolitionists in that quarter of the State, but expressed d he would not have participated in this debate, but for the extraordinary remark of the gentleman from Harrison, (Mr. Wison,) that there were as many abolitionists in the city of Richmond as in the whole Northwestern portion of the State. Mr. Wilson corrected the member from Richmond. He had expressed his belief that there were as many abolitionists in the city of Richmond as there were in his Congressional District--not in the whole Northwest. He relied upon common reports in forming th

He read from the opinion of Judge Curtis, the expone went out of blast, and is offered for sale to the highest bidder, under deed of trust.-- He (Mr. Randolph) also alluded to the establishment of a glass manufactory in Richmond, when the market was im and commercial supremacy would saver be restored to her. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Randolph was interrogated by Mr. Clemens, and very promptly answered. Mr. Clemens indicated his purpos full development, while in the North it would meet nothing but competition and oppression. Mr. Randolph was arguing this point, when Mr. Chambliss, of Greensville, said it was apparent that thportunity of going into it fully to-morrow. He therefore moved that the committee rise.

He would vote to lay the resolutions on the table, for he believed their consideration now would embarrass the primary question which the Convention was called to consider. Mr. Woods, of Barbour, said he had hoped there would have been magnanimity enough among Eastern gentlemen to have proposed a plan for equalizing the taxes, without waiting for it to come from the West. He regretted the latitude that the debate had taken, and that there was so much excitement on the question, which merely proposed the raising of committees to make inquiries. Every grievance complained of by any portion of the citizens of the Common wealth, he thought, ought to be removed by this Co

Congress. With regard to the interest of labor, he spoke at some length, denouncing the doctrine of an "irrepressible conflict" as a base coinage for vile party purposes. He presented in a strong view to the people of the Western section of the State, the question of their true interest in a Southern Confederacy, where their labor would meet its full development, while in the North it would meet nothing but competition and oppression. Mr. Randolph was arguing this point, when Mr. Chambliss, of Greensville, said it was apparent that the gentleman from Richmond was physically unable to proceed, and as his argument was a very able and interesting one, he desired to give him an opportunity of going into it fully to-morrow. He therefore moved that the committee rise. Mr. Randolph expressed a sense of delicacy at throwing himself upon the indulgence of the Convention for another day; but Mr. Johnson, of Richmond, assured him that there was no necessity for being influenced

Committee of the Whole. The Convention resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, (Mr. Southall, of Albemarle in the chair,) and proceeded to consider the report of the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Randolph, of Richmond City, resumed his remarks. He read from the opinion of Judge Curtis, the exponent of Black Republicanism on the Supreme Bench of the United States, that slavery was only a creature of municipal law, and could have no existence beyond the circumference of the law so creating it; also, from the opinions of Lord Mansfield and Lord Stowell, showing how slavery is treated by those governments which do not recognize it. After an argument in relation to the difficulty of the recovery of a slave by his master, in the Territories, he resumed his exposition of the
