AGRICULTURAL GEOLOGY. No. 10.
BY JOSIAH HoLBRooK.

Intense heat expels the csrbonic acid from the
carbonate of lime. Oxyde of calcium is left.
This oxyde rapidly aud largely absorbs water. 1t
then becomes the hydrate Of lime, the result Of
shaking. The water absorbed by this process be-
comes solid more so than ice. Ii has the same
solidity of the lime itself as il is part Of il in
chemical comhxag+;~o y'ha waser in. ahsngiRg
from liquid to a solid, gives up it's latent heat,
then becoming sensible heat as is familiar to
every child, from witnessing the shaking OF lime
while passing the streets The changing of latent
to sensible heat, rs manifested 10y the operation Of
shaking lime, familiar TO every one arises from
sort of fundamental principle in chemical science.
This principle furnishes one OF the most important
items of knowledge in the whole range Of science,

upon thousands of interesting operations, con-
stsntly going on before our eyes, alike under di-
vine and human agency, both in nature and the
arts Ii can also be as readily learnt by the child
Of Ave years as by the man of fifty.
The oxyde Of calcium and the hydrnte Of lime
both possess strong alkaline powers. All alkales
have strong tendency to combine with acids;
producing neutral salts Nitric acid (aquafortis)
and caustic potash, each powerfully corrosive
combine with each other readily, rapidly, and in
timately, producing saltpetre, having little or no
corrosive power. Muristc acid and soda also
corrosive in a separate state readily enter into
chemical combination, and produce common salt

not uncommon to have life sacrificed 20 On igno-
rance OF the relative powers Of acids and alkalies,

ments and other articles, with the daily use ny

important agents in domestic economy.
As lime an alkaline earth, is far more abundant
than potash, soda, or ammonia, the three principal
akalies, farmers, mechanics, and housekeepers,
can use that for its ak'lne powers 10 far greater
advantage In many cases than either Of the pure
alkalies As the alkaline power in this ahund mt

EVENING SESSION.

On motion of Mr.. WISE, the Convention resolved it.
self into Committee of the Whole, DIR. MILLER in the
chair) MIR. CARTER Of Loudoun belng entitled to the
floor, continued the discussion as follows:
am sorry, Mr.. Chairman, that the Committee ,ad
ourncd this morning, as understand il done for
NV accommodation. yielded the floor TO what sup
posed the wish of the Committee, and not because
II personally desired an al ournment.
In the further discussion of this question beg leave
to bring to the consideration of the Committee son
that taken by Judge Upshur in the Convention of
1922 and which has been repeated here The PROPOSE
ton is that in all free governments power ought be
given the majority and they say the rule is founded in
the idea that there is identity though not euaIi-
of interests in the several members Of the body poll
TIC Admitting this general proposition, gentlemen deny
that this identity Of interest found in the different
great divisions Of this State and therefore, although they
are willing to give the power TO the ma orv in the
ties because there is this identity Of interest between
the inhabitants of the counties, they cannot give the
power to the majority of the whole State because this
identity Of interest does not exist between the different
sections Of the State.
propose show that there does exist just as great
identity OF between the inhabitants of the whole
State as there exists between the inhabitants o; the
counties taken separate communities. And i: this
can be shown, gentlemen will be compelled, according
to their proposition either to take the power from
majority Of the voters in the different counties they
will have to yield the power to majority of the voters
Of the whole State Gentlemen will not deny that there
is identity Of interest between all parts Of the State
to land there being upwards of 100000 more acres
west of the ridge than there east though not assessed
at so high rate but there is the identity in its fullest
sense They will not deny that there is this identity in
all the other subjects Of property except they say in
the property in slaves Well, sir, let US consider this
question of identity in slave property. OF the whole
white population of the State consisting Of $685. 34 per-
sons there only fftyone or two thousand slave
holders; and in all the counties east of the Ridge there
are large number of persons who pay taxes on land,
but who hold slaves. Ihare taken down few coan-
ties which are only m index to the whole.
Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1851-05-30


Add to these who pay taxes on land, and do not pay
taxes slaves those who pay taxes neither on slaves
land but who have the right TO vote and in
county east of the Ridge you will have majority of the
voters who have Immediate direct identity Of inter-
est with the Shareholders What then becomes of this
principle that identity Of interest must exist before
property is safe, when it does not exist in your own
counties you really mean to carry out this prnci-
pe you will have to give the whole political power Of
the State to fifty thousand save-hoders-a proposition
that suppose gentlemen do not propose to make.
But sir, let consider this identity of interest as il
regards the interest of the east and the west in this slave
property. In the Valley there S1l 00g 900 vested
slave property Does not that make at least an iden-
ty Of interest in that property between the east and the
Valley, But take the counties west of the Allegheny
and there find slave property TO the amount OF
81 000 If this does not make an identity Of inter-
terest, wish to know what amount would And
cannot why there not much identity Of inter-
est between the inhabitants Of the different sections OF
the State as there is between the inhabitants Of the
countless particularly when you get any reasonable
guarantee from excessive taxation that may be cnnsd.
cred necessary But sir, if gentlemen are still so much
alarmed from fear of excessive taxation being put upon
them by the Allegheny county, let us consider
what legislative power that part Of the State will have
if the suffrage basis is adopted In house of delegates
consisting of l56 members the trans Allegheny will be
entitled to 60, the valley to 25 and the east H. Civ
ing to the east and valley majority Of &C. In conncc
ton with this let recoect that all the great internal
Improvements of the valley are finished with the ex-
ception Of the Central railroad TO the Ohio river which
all concede is to be finished whether the one or the
other basis prevails, and that the valley pays hfy-sx
cents tax per head whilst the Piedmont pays seventy.
eight cents per head according to the OF
1850. ask any reasonable man, if the valley will lend
itself TO aid in raising the taxes upon Piedmont and
tde-water, when the people of the valley will have
pay in the proportion Of fysix cents to seventyegh
Sir this whole idea of diversity of interest is mere
hgment Of the BRAIN We substantially one, one
interest, one people, and bound up in one destiny.
Mr. Chairman, if gentlemen still insist that there is
not an identity of interest between the east and the
west would ask Of them what would become of their

The Last Days of Slavery.

The Iondon Times paper circulated all over
the world predicts the sure extinction of Amer
;can slavery in the course OF one or two gener
atoms a, farthest. from The ordinary progress Of
human affairs The successful culture If cotton
in Area. India and New Holland. and the re
cent discovery of scientific method Ia convert
Aax into the most beautiful. enduring fabrics and
vat chea uer than cotton would alone be sufficient
to extinguish slavery without legislative action
or moral influence Cotton gives life to slavery
because the production IS profitable when
tbe culture becomes unproductive. as 1t
soon must for the reason stated, then the very
ael6shncss of shareholders, if no better pnncl-
ole. will impel them to run IRON their slaves ra-
ther than their slaves from them. In the mean
time as the pressure comes on, they will be pre-
patino to meet the exigency by colonization by
The introduction of different articles of culture
and forms of labor. and by emancipation OF the
slaves and converting them into free la6orers
upon their farms and plantations which can be
pro6table only under such cultivation. Slavery
Is hut a question of time. II is scarcely posi-
hle 10 conceive that hundred years hence there
will he one slave in the United States, not to
saw m the whole continent of America. The
slave owner sees the ramparts rlsngthe trench
es opened, the communications aoo'lsheu' a"o
the blockade closing round them. that is one day
70 reduce them to unconditional surrender. we
doubt not for an instant that our children or chill
dren's children will see the chaias drop IN one
hour from the limbs of three million slaves. The
GnOitye bill is onIv last Legislative effnlt against
that which is more powerful than legislature
the progress of human affairs. Every acre nd
ded 10 it's population, and every emgrant tha
lands on its shores, is another weight IN tn
scale of abolition. Then why, except because
thew are demented and doomed, do the slave
owners take no steps whatever to prepare tor tht
great day of reckoning? Why do they assure
the perfect stability of an institation at variance
with the whole tenor and course OF modern CIV
ilization? We do not hesitate to advise them
to set their house in order. IL it is harder to d.
go now than it was 70 years back, instead OF be
inc easier, as the great statesmen OF that DAY
hoped and expected-if time has hitherto aggra
waited rather than removed the enormous DIN
cuIties of the question, what will be the cas-
thirty wears hence, when perhaps there must an
will be abolition without either the slave or n
master being prepared for the change In
choice lies between gradual and sudden aooIl
ton. and it is for The slave States themselves
choose which of those two they will haVe-io
one they must.
