AGITATIoy IL YIRGIStA.-In spite of grave
warnings from Castle Garden and Mr. Webster,
our Southern brethren 'eiH keep agitating the
Slavery question. The Virginia Convention had
hardly got under way when Mr.J NJ. White of
Pittsylvania moved the appointment of Com,
mittee to consider the proPriety of expelling all
the Free Blacks from the State Mr.. Lyons
moved to amend by adding the following:
"Also, to inquire into the expediency of insert
ing in the Constitution clause providing that no
deed or viii emancipating slave or slaves shall
be admitted to record in any Court in this Com
monweath SO far as it does emancpate such
slave or slaves.
Both resolution and amendment were referred
to the Legislative Committce-Yeas, 1907 Nays,
90 So the "agitation7 is to go on in spite of
lamentations here or elsewhere
