VIRGINIA AND THE UNION. A series
of resolutions were introduced in the
House of Delegates of Virginia on Sat
urday, by Mr. Boiling, of Buckingham:
embracing unqualified approval ofthe
compromise measure, but declaring that
Virginia will consider repeal of the
fugitive slave law a dissolution of the
Union, and that on the adjustment OF
slavery in the District, or of the slave
trade between the States, their Congress-
men should resign their seats. A mo.
ton to postpone these resolutions indefi-
nitely was first rejected by tmo votes,
and afterwards carried by one. The
Times says:
"The result is explained, chiefly by
the fact that the resolutions took the
house somewhat by surprise. We APP
prehend there will be no difficulty in OBJ
tanning an unequivocal expression Of the
determin alton of the State to abide by
the compromise adopted by Congress,
and to insist upon the faithful observ.
ance of all its parts The communica-
ton from the Governor of South Caro-
