First District OF virginia.

At a convention of the Wings of the First
Congressional district of Virginia held at Suf-
folk, on the 9th Of June, 1851, the following
resolutions were adopted:
'Rtsored That we, as Wings, can have no
opinions assimilatcd to those entertained by the
late representative from this Congressional dis
trc, and that it ia duty, both to ourselves and
our country, to defeat his reelection.
"Resoived, That we heartily sustain the Admin
istration Of Millard Fillmore, and that regard
his participation in the measures Of Compromise,
and subsequent vndicaton of the majesty of those
laws, emitting him to the gratitude and support
of every patriot in the Union.
"Resoipsd, That we look with satisfaction at the
settlement of the question of slavery in Congress
that the Territories should be the arbters of this
question for themselves when entitled to admission
in the Union States, and we consider this the
only true republican form of adjusment-that
fugitvcs from labor, and service should be re-
claimed by law, and, when necessary, by the
armed forces Of the Federal Government; and, as
n whole, deem it the best arrangement and conclu-
sion, both for the North and South, the East and
the West. that could have been agreed upon.
"Rtsolcsd, That We will give to Robert H. Whit
field, csq, the nominee Of this convention for Con
grcss, hearty and undivided support, in the event
Of his acceptance"

Agricultural Intcrests.

It is understood that the Navy Department,
with view to add to the agricultural interests
Of the country, has issued special instructions
10 the East India squadron to procure and send
or bring home rare plants and seeds, particu-
arly Of the sugar-cane and tea plant, adapted
TO our climate and soil, and useful for domestic
purposes
The attention Of the Department has been
called to this subject by a letter from distin-
guished citizen Of Louisiana, and by one from
the Secretary Of the Department of the Interior.
In the former it is stated that " the increasing
difficulty experienced for the last two or three
years in keeping good seed-canes for plants
has induced many Of the planters to Try the
introduction Of new varieties, and large
quantities of canes have been imported dur
ing the last twelve months, mostly from
Mexico and Cuba. But these differ very lit
tie, if at all, from the old species we are in
the habit Of cultivating, and can therefore pro-
duce but a very slight, if any change in our
crops; whilst India possesses varieties Of the
sugar-cane plant which have no, been tried in
America, and the introduction Of which might

States, and maintsin its own respectablity one
Of the nations of the earth.
A dissolution of the Union give South Caro-
lima no indemnity for the past security for the
future. Every thing which Congress constitu-
tionaly do for the protection Of the peculiar ins
tutions OF the South has been done, and there is
reason TO doubt that oil laws which may be const-
tutionally passed for the accomplishment Of that
object will be executed in good faith, even if il
should be necessary to call out the entire military
force Of the United States for that purpose. No
thing that South Carolina do will dissolve the
Union. If she should refuse to perform the duties
required Of her by the Constitution, as portion OF
the United States, and her Senators and Rep
resentatives should withdraw themselves from
their respective, chambers; and if the State
should refuse to appoint the time place, and man
ner Of choosing Senators Representatives, or
should fail to attend the session of Congress- SO that
no quorum should be formed, and should refuse to
appropriate money for the support of the Govern
ment, 80 that "the wheels of Government should
be stopped" yet the Union would not thereby be
dissolved The Constitution and laws would re-
main, and the President must stake care that the
laws be faithfully cxecuted" and for this purpose,
and to enable the marshal to discharge this duty,
the Judiciary also will remain in the full exercise OF
all its powers; and. although Congress may not be
able, for want of quorum, to make new laws, the
old ones would not thereby be abrogated or re-
pealed.
conclude, therefore, that il is not in the power
of South Carolina to dissolve the Union; and if she
could, it would be unjust to do SO, after having en-
oyed the full benefit of il for more than half GEN.

We are indebted to the New York Express
for paper on the Right of Secession, lately
written by Chief Justice CRANcH, who has
happily so far recovered from an illness of six
months, with occasional though partial restora-
tions, as to be able to use his pen. "He is
just upon the evening of his eighty second
year." says the correspondent of the Express,
''and but for temporary bodily infirmties, which
may confine him for some time to his room, he
would now be upon the bench. | have the
manuscript of this brief argument upon an i'm
portant public question which is now causing
so much anxiety here and at the South. Here
is the article. which, though not written for
publication, am sure will meet with public
acceptance"

We have seen notices of movements in various
parts of the State, within several days past, for
expression Of the public sentiment in favor of a
nomination of Daniel Webster, by the people of this
State, candidate for the Presidency at the next
election We have entertained no doubt at any
time, notwithstanding the virulence of personal
attack upon Mr. Webster in certain quarters, that,
if he be candidate for the Presidency as we trust
he will be, he will receive the vote of the people of
this State by very large majority. That he is
regarded by the mass of the people of the State
the most suitable candidate for that office. and In
every respect entitled to receive the support of tho
people, in preference to all other candidates, is
opinion which we think few persons fail to en-
tcrtain who have had opportunities of learning
tho public sentiment in the various parts of the
State.
We not surprised, therefore, that there should
be spontaneous m ovement for public cxpres-
sion of this opinion. Such movement has been
made in various quarters independently Of any
prompting from the public press, and papers have
been prepared for receiving the signatures of ind
viduals desirous Of making declaration of their
opinion on this subject In pursuance Of this pur-
pose, paper with the following caption has been
deposited at the Merchants Exchange in this city,
and has already received large number of sigma
lures We believe that il is only necessary that it
should be known that it 10 proposed to make an ex-
preston of the public sentiment in this way to on
sure the signature Of this paper by very large
portion Of our citizens:
eve nominate DANIEL WEBSTER for President
of the United States
because he ia true lover of liberty, faithful
friend to his country and its institutions, and the
defender OF the Constitution under which we live
"Becauso his patriotism is as broad as the Union,
and nc VIII never permit the Constitution to be
violated to favor one portion Of the country for the
benefit of another.
because by his calm wisdom, and far. seeing
intelligence, and high courage. he has done much
to save our country from foreign war and intestine
division, and to guide II in the path OF honor. pros
pcrity, and happiness.
"Because under his administration the Constitu-
tion will be upheld, the laws enforced, tho Union
preserved, and the whole country bc made pros
porous; and, finally,
Because this high honor is due to his long and
faithful service, TO his matchlcss talents his stern
integrity, and his exalted patriotism" Ssal

From the Boston Courier, June H..

The nomination of DANIEL WKnsTEp for the Of
flee of the Presidency of the United States was
most unanimously responded to yesterday by the
signatures of the business men Of Boston, the list
of which covered over many feet Of writing paper,
and eminently displayed the appreciation in which
they hold their distinguished fellow citizen. Other
papers, put in circulation in our suburbs, are, as
we learn, quite as well and as respectfully filled;
and, when the whole number shall appear, it will
show such an array of names to set aside at
once all doubts as to the proprcty, the oxpedency,
and the time Of the nomination.

.sThc Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
.prcsent session of Congress, expresses fully and
.plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
- stration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea
ssures of last session That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement of the dangerous and excitin 2
subjects which they embrace; that though they
'were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
Ga system Of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
.taned from conflicting sectional interest and
Opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
'hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, so
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisivey. The
peace ofthe country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and every conside-
ration Of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message it does not expect to stand at all %
