WILMOT PROVlSO, &c-MR. SEGARS
SPEECH.
We have very rarely listened with more sails
faction 70 any argument than 10 that OF Mr..
Sesar in the House OF Delegates yesterday
He placed Virginia and The South upon proper
ground He vind'caed hem against the as.
sauils OF Messrs. Scott, Harrison and Smith. All
VINO heard hi must concede that his reply was
riumphan, and whelming. While his ar
sumenis HeIr strong and convincing, his Ian
guage was chase, powerful and eloquent We
tender bin, as Southern man, our sincere thanks
for his "a lanl and bic defence II Southern tights.
We give bfet outline OF his opening remark
We hope he will write OUT his speech, that we
may hereafter have the pleasure of spreading il
before to people OF Virginia.
MI. Scsa. after stating The interest taken by
his cons,i uens in Inc subject mater Of debate,
and their exploration thai ne wuult, as we'll by
arsumen a OF his vote, vindica,e their rights
aud interests n he premises, declared that he
would approach The solemn subject without The
Influence a. lar as he could avoid il, Of party
feeling. The question, re said rtse far above
all consider .ons oil parry Advantage. Ii was a
srea! question OF Magma Charia, q first princi-
cies Of sua'aUleea light. Il nigh, be question
OF lnion 70 Of disunl1n-the misa;ies', eravest
most AWFUL is u ever ;n.olyeG n human affairs
maa. Ii he should approach a subject ike this,
with one emotion o. party impulse he wouli
d;shcaor himself, AMI violate every trust ard res
possibility Of Representative duy AM moral pre-
pticiy.
