Mr., SheBey iseftheparty styled
Republican, but, because has vteus are
those of an enlightened Statesman, and
because the reight ofhis authority may
possibly check, an some degree, the pro
gress Of errors that are daily ana pre-

portance to the nation.
81 cannot omit to notice an idea, suggest
ed in the course of the debate, by an ho-
norable member from Georgia (Mr. Troup)
He has urged upon the house the propriety
of inyeigling all British seamen into our
service, by promising them the immediate
benefit of Naturalization feel astonished
to hear such a proposition made by a gen
tleman coming from that portion of the
union. Those who inhabit the country be-
tween the Potomack and Florida, east of
the mountains. ought to offer up their daily
and nightly prayers to heaven, to preserve
the ocean of life unruf1ed. They are aioat
In a very crazy vessel. You know, Mr..
Chairman, there is a population among
them, whom necessity compels them to keep
IN slavery. They want nothing but means
and opportunity to attempt to break their
shackles, and | ask what can you expect
from your enemy, if you seduce her sub
Jects from their duty and alliance, but that
she will retaliate, and strike you in the
most vital part. This apprehension, l know.
is treated as visionary-but remember the
fate of st. Domingo. have no confidence
in the reasons generally offered to dispel
the idea of danger from that. quarter-that
is, the want of means and intellect on the
part of the slaves. Man is strong, ~resolute
and ingenious, where his liberty is con
cerned. Before the year 1900, it did not
enter into the imagination of any person in
Virginia, that any danger was to be appre-
from that source. In that year a
conspiracy was discovered, not only dan
gerous, as it respected the numbers con-
cerned, but their plans and means mani
tested a degree Of capacity which could
not have been believed. The discovery in
splred terror into every bosom. | was in a
situation at that time which enabled me to
see and feel it. Sir, with ten thousand men
landed on the southern shores, and fifty
thousand stand of arms, what hayock might
not be expected. | do not pretend to say
that such an attempt would be finally sue
~cessful, but the consequences would un-
questionably be disastrous. Every man
would find in his own family an enemy, rea-
dy to cut the threats of his wife and child
rem. Would such a catastrophe not great
ly outweigh all the objects OF his war
Let US keep within the rules OF civilized
warfare, and we may, perhaps, avoid his
danger.

Member of Congress, dated FEB. s.
We are all here in a state OF great
anxiety and confusion, expecting an at
tack every day, and conscious of our
inability to defend ourselves against any
respectable force. We have nothing to
look to but our own militia regiment,
consisting of less than 600 men, and a.
bout 100 men half naked in the two forts,
which are about half finished. Already
we have receiyeda requisition from the
officer commanding the Forts, to supply
him with a part of III small force, to
enable him to man his works ; and ano-
Their from Princess Ann, TO assist in de-
Tending that frontier. When these re-
QUESTIONS are complied with, we shall
not nave more than $50 men to defend
Norfolk. The quota of militia ordered
out by our Executive have long since
been dismissed, and no other has been
