With every Department in the hands of the Black Republican party, and administered upon the plan dictated by Wm. H. Seward, how long would Virginia be safe? Under the distribution of the official patronage, how long would it be before a man might come to think the wrong the better side? If we stay together for twelve months, he thought there would be most benefsumed by the gentleman from Rockbridge, to keep a standing army on the border lines, but only a small force at the principal points, for the purpose of collecting the revenue. The slaves would be more secure than ever. He charged upon William H. Seward the responsibility of breaking up the Union. To him he would not say one kind word if it would save him from destruction. He had denounced him before his face, and had told him if the question were to be settled between them, he would set

t alluded to the remarks of the gentleman from Bedford, (Mr. Goggin,) and welcomed the sentiment that when it comes to coercion, he would be found fighting under the flag of Virginia. But they had not dwelt sufficiently upon the wrongs of the South. He then gave a historical sketch of the rise and progress of the anti-slavery party, and proceeded to consider the recent acts of the Black Republicans. He thought there was no chance of effecting any change in public sentiment at the North.--Lincoln was elected upon a single principle of hostility to the South. They had the Executive power of the Government, and how long would it be before they would secure the Judiciary, also?

hirteenth day. Thursday, Feb. 28, 1861. The Convention was called to order at 12 o'clock. Prayer by the Rev. Dr. Burrows, of the First Baptist Church. The President stated that the unfinished business of yesterday, (the resolutions of the gentleman from Rockbridge,) was now in order — the gentleman from Orange (Mr. Morton） being entitled to the floor. Mr. Morton said he would give way a moment for the gentleman from Hanover, who desired to offer a resolution. Mr. Richardson, of Hanover, submitted the following: Resolved, That in furtherance of the resolution adopted by this Convention on the 20th inst., seeking information of the Governor regarding the militia, the Adjutant General of the State be, and he is hereby requested, to communicate to this body, as speedily as is compatible with a thorough report on this subject, how many and what kind of arms are in the possession of the state, undistributed, and the number and kind of additional companies w

ulcer, eating away the vitals of the country, and unless we used the knife or the caustic, rooted out the evil, and settled the question forever, it would result in utter ruin. The agitation must be stopped and stopped forever. Turning to Mr. Wise, he expressed his utmost approbation of his course in repelling the invaders of the soil of Virginia. Speaking of the visit of the South Carolina and Mississippi Commissioners, after that occasion, and the disappointment of their hopes, he saids of the North. With regard to the difficulty of transit alluded to, in case Virginia went with the South, he believed that Fortress Monroe and the Rip Raps would belong to Virginia. He would rally under the lead of the gentleman near him (Mr. Wise,) and pluck the plume from the brow of the Lieutenant General.--He anticipated none of the difficulties spoken of by others. He again urged the necessity of secession.--Where were the interests of Virginia in a Northern Confederacy, when fo

tesy to the Virginia Commissioner, (Judge Robertson.) He presumed that by this time the Convention was satisfied that he thought the proper course was for Virginia to secede forthwith. If there was any doubt upon that subject, he would read some resolutions offered by himself in the county of Orange, on the 24th of Dec., 1860. The resolutions took the ground that the Union of the South is the safety of the South, and that Virginia ought to go out with her Southern sisters before the 4th of March. He thought if that advice had been followed, we should not now have heard one word about coercion. Whilst wrongs and insults had been heaped upon Virginia mountains high, she was still here deliberating whether she should go North or South. He would have had a conference of the fifteen slave States, from which he would not have excluded all the free States, but would have admitted some of the border States, whose interests at least would have been with the South; but if they could not

The National difficulties. Mr. Morton took the floor and proceeded with his remarks. He alluded to the magnitude of the subjects whonclusion, he thanked the Convention for the patience with which he had been listened to. Mr. Morton spoke more than two hours, and the foregoing is but a mere outline of his remarks. Mr. Bahe heard the gentleman from Orange say this, and he asked him if he understood him right. Mr. Morton.--You did, sir. Mr. Baylor.--Go out for what? He wanted gentlemen to state their reasons.

irginia, Maryland, and Tennessee--he would not go so far as North Carolina--and upon Kentucky and Missouri. Those who accepted the gifts would form a nucleus of acquiescence in the powers that be, and in the next election, or the next but one, we should have Black Republican orators on every stump, and where would Virginia's safety be? There might be those who thought he was for throwing away the treasure of the Union. He would tell them that in the last election he voted for Bell and Everett, but did so upon the declaration that if the Charleston Convention had made a nomination he would have supported it. But that failed, and he had thought that the conservative portion of the people might rally to save the country. In this he was disappointed. For years he had endeavored to drive back the wave of Northern fanaticism, and to save the Union--and in connection herewith he read from one of his speeches in Congress, wherein he appealed for justice in behalf of the South.

He alluded to the magnitude of the subjects which the Convention was called to consider. He had listened witn the practice to adjourn over to give members a full opportunity of expressing their views, he would give way if any one desired to submit such a motion. A motion to adjourn was made, but withdrawn at the request of the President, who presented a communication from the Dean of the Medical College of Virginia inviting the members of the Convention to attend the commencement of that institution, at Metropolitan Hall, on Friday night. On motion of Mr. Early, the Convention adjourned.

He proceeded to pay further compliments to South Carolina and the gallantry of her people, and vindicated them from the charge of want of proper respect and courtesy to the Virginia Commissioner, (Judge Robertson.)
