OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES vorERs-oLD VIRGINIA.
Mr.. BAYLY did not think, with Mr.. Ashmun that 1t
was premature to express our sympathy for Francs
He ardsnty hoped that France may establish, firm
basis republican lberty and for that reason he would
cheer her on in her efforts Was it premature Ia France
to sympahise with in the early struggles Of
luton? And as to Mexico which the gentleman said
were bottng of existence what have done to show
that we have set the iron heel Of upon he,f lie
Mexico less likely to be republican at the close Of the
war! (which the gentlemen and his friends have pro.
tracted Does he not know that the republican toad
yet have jewel in its head? The rights Of man
will come to DO respected in that country to extent

never supplies the place Of wisdom 1t was not for him
the ssnate Of Virginia They would have passed
the resolution in relation to the death Of Mr. Adams but
they were unwilling to act hypocricay and approve
the conduct Of gentemas whose political conduct
met the appreciation of Vrgnia The friends of Mr.
Adams the sole authors OF the rejection Of that
luton. They wished to effect party purpose that
lemn occasion The senste Of Virginia had too much
sefrespect TO unite In such unhaowed purpose. Mr.
Bayiy then alluded to the declaration of indepen
dence and gave his views Of what the rgurrs meant
sgners from Virginia were large savoholders and they
never could have meant that their slaves should enjoy
the same rights Themselves One half of the voters
OF Virginia did not own foot Of soil
MI. AsHMUN-I ask, if a man owns eoi IN two d!fe-
rent counties, can he not vote in both?
Mr.. BAYLr-Yes. The privilege Is not to
universal suffrage ~ would wish, but 1t is nesrly
close to universal suffrage where any restriction

Ing with white voters There discrimination They
DO not enjoy oil the rights of the free white

Mr.. BAYLr-A black cannot marry q white man, or

Emancipation can never take place where there pre-

whites They can never live in the same community as
equals they have never yet done SO.
