ESCAPE OF SLAVES
Mr.. IMBODEN called attention to the composition
of the committee, under the joint resolution for
more effectually preventing the escape of slaves
No delegate from the Northwestern part of the
State, was upon the committee, and that part of
the State especially exposed to the inroads OF
the sboitionists He was sure the omission was en-.
tirely inadvertent on the part of the Speaker. He
moved that the committee be increased tol9, to al
low that part of the State to be represented in its
deliberations. t..
The SPEAKER explained that in appointing the
committee, he had selected chiefly those gentlemen
who took part in the debate the introduction of
the resolution, and there being none engaged in
that debate from the immediate section alluded to
/. e., upon the Ohio river-he had overlooked If,
though there were Western members on the com.
mittee.
Messrs. WELLMAN, MALLORY, BoREMAN and
CARUTHERs all expressed their appreciation of the
motion. Messrs Weman and Boreman spoke ear
nesty of the deep interest the Ohio river counties
took in the NATTER from their exposure to the ope-
ratons the fanatics unanimously asserting their
zeal in the common cause of the South, against
the intermedlers from the North with slave pro.
perty ~----~
Mr. BURwELL, expressed his approyalof the mo-
ton. He knew, he was proud to know, that upon
this subject, Virginia was sound from circumfer-
ence to centre 1t was an old theory that the
western port ion of the State was less Jealous in
the defence of the interests than the East.
1t had been an abolition boast that there were men
and sections of the South who might be seduced
by the glittering lures Of ambition. Let them be
shown that we feel no doubt or distrust in the
fidelity of our brethren. Let us avail ourselves OF
this opportunity to yindicate the integrity of our
sentiment and shew the insane enemies Of our
rights that upon this question Virginia is united
and inseparable.
The motion was agreed TO and the following
gentlemen were added to the committee Messrs.
Wellman, Smith, Thomas, Of Mason, Boreman,
Paul, and Samuels. ~ sst ri
The Senate were informed that the House had
thus enlarged the committee. 5srl III
