Mr.. 1MBoDES thought the resolution oaght 10 be

escaping slaves and retaliatory measures @Yaaa e.
Mr RONALD moved its indefinite postponemenk
MT. X considered it premature to introduce this
subject there. When the proper time arose, vir-
ginia would be ready TO shed her blood in delsnca
OF the rights Of the South under the Constituteas
He regarded the proposition as foreign TO- the pur +,
Oft ntVsro
cussion would be only rcsuming the antlent Gus
tom OF Virginia in adopting resolutions on Federal
affairs to the neglect Of the domestic concern and
interests of the people. = ssssstasi.fs = 49,
Mr.. WELIMAN, that gentlemen should show their
sustained. saf .,
Mr.. EARLEY, as the ayes and noes were demand
ed, would say that he would 60 az far as any man
Tor the protection of the rights under the consttu
tion as regards tho Territories and especially IN
regarded the rights Of Kansas; but he could see
reason or policy at this time of sending regiment
6 Virginians to that Territory to enter into section
al strife The matter should be left to the Terrific
rry. ME- T. eontendug she was the proper Judge Of .
her OWE affairs and any exigency which might call
for aid from others than the general government. .
He would vote for the indefinite postponement.
Mr. RUTHERFooRD suggested that the resolution
waimerey one of inquiry, and its reference un-j
der the usage of the House kind Of courtesy due
to the member. Its indefinite postponement ha =
would regard unfortunate since the public mind
was directed to Virginia, such action upon the reso
luton would be misunderstood $50 Afffsst aszts
Mr. RONALD, deferring to the suggestion Of Mr..
K. asked leave to withdraw his motion for the in.
definite postpOne.nent.
MIR. CARTER objected The ayes and noes had
been demanded sort of intimidation to bring
gentlemen to the scratch, dhe was ready TO yots
aye on the postp onement. This proposition was
another instance Of the propensity to futile iegis
| iaton in the Virginia Legislature There was al.
ready enough business on hand for 90 days ses.
sion and their time should be devoted to its consid
| Grafton. The mover of the resolution he thought
had cast q reflection upon the administration.--
Kansas was under the protection of the National
Government; had it failed to afford the protection
due to the Territoryi Certainly until then it
not incumbent on the Virginia Legislature 10 terl
der the aid of the State for her protection He.
hoped the Legislature would attend to its own bu-
siness until the proper time came for Its interfer.
| ence and then it would act. 81 s-@=e s-f = ~
Mr.. SANARD appealed to the gentleman from
Fauquier, (Mr Cartefo not to press his desire for
| the indefinite postponement of the resolution
From the position of Virginia and the great excite
ment that prevailed the subject of the rights of
the South refusal to allow the usual courtesy Of
referring resolution of enquiry of the kind pro-
posed might be misconstrued He regretted that
the resolution had been introduced in the form i'm {
which It was presented, The subject was one
with which they had nothing to do, he confessed,
and the Legislature might be more appropriately
engaged in discharging their duties with reference
to the interests Of Virginia in the State, than at
tending to the general politics Of the country Yet
as refusal to entertain this proposition might be
misconstrued, he hoped its indefinite postponemenf
| would not be persisted in.
Mr.. CARTER waived his opposition, .nd the
leave to withdraw the motion for indefinite post
y ponement, was granted ,,7ssssas4y $50
Mr.. WILEY objected to the phraseology Of tho ]
resolution-its language was too strong-there
ss no crisis that called for it. He was willing 10
nq wire into the matter; but preferred to do 50 by
resolution differently wordad. He offered the fol-
lowing a substitute: - =.
Il Resolved, That . joint committee be appointed
TO consider the present troubles in the Terrtory6f
Kansas, and to enquire what actisn, II any, should
be taken BY the General Assembly in reference 10
that subject. st..ss- ,4.srs
Mr. GARSETT regarded the resolution and the
substitute only the expression OF the indfviduM
Sfini0ns of the gentlemen who moved them. He
had no objection to their reference 1t would be
premature to consider them now. II would be hur-
Il Tying the House into a debate, before they knew
the isn portance of consi ierng the matter at all =
He cOncnrred with other speakers, however, that
to decline to consider, might be mscenstraed. He
4 moved the reference Of the resolution and substi
tute to the Joint committee on the subject Of means
prevent the escape of slaves, and Of measures OF
Mr.. TAYLOR, of Alexandria, regretted the intro
duction of the resolution. 1t placed the House 10
dilemma He, however. thought it ought not TO go
to committee. The Constitution of the United
