Mr. MYER MYERS advocated the adoption of N.
resolutions just onerea and gave number of sta
fistes to show the amount the South annually paia
out for exports and the vast Importance line of
steamers from Europe to the South would nrova 70
her commercisl wealth. He believed thst no nth.
or part of North America presented such adyanta.
ges as Virginia for this line.
During the progress of Mr.. Myers remarks DIR
BREWER of Maryland was taken suddenly I'M. and
physicians were called to attend him, which crea
ted considerable confusion for few minutes but
he soon recovered sufficiently to be taken TO his
hotel
Mr.. MYERS resumed and gave several important
facts relative to the present warehousing system
which acted oppressiyey TO the South and in favor
OF the North He argued in favor of establishing
warehouses in the South, and believed that line
OF steamers from Europe to the Chesapeake Bay
would bring about the depOsiting OF goods in the
South by European manufacturers, and thereby
save to us the large amount of interest now paid
into Northern Golfers. He concluded, by offering
the following resolution: #lE
Resoired, That committee of sir members be an
pointed by the President, consisting of three from
Richmond and three from Norfolk, to memorialize
the Legislatures of the Southern and Southwestern
States to unite with the State of Virginia in the forna
ton Of n line lines of Gamers to ply between
Hampton Roads aud other ports of the South and Eu-
ropo and that said committee authorized to adopt
such other in furtheIance of the object as
Ihey may lind eKpedient and proper.
LII. I'M Ii. MCFARLAND desired the gentlem an
SO to modify his resolution as to memoriaze the
Legislatures to take into consideration the subject
Of establishing Southern steam line. He could
not consent to cal upon other States to act entirely
on local question. lie desired Maryland South
Carolina, Louisiana and Georgia to have an eaual
voice i'll selecting the point for these steamers
to start from. Ho thought all that was necessary
was t) appoint committee to carry out the sug-
geatIons IN the report OF the committee
Mr MYERS, at the request of several members,
withdrew his resolution
After some further discussion on the merits of
the report, the question taken on the first re-
solution offered by the committee, and carried in
the affirmative.
The question then came up on the second reso-
luton, which was debated at length by Messrs.
Lyons, Anderson and Macfarland, of Richmond
Mr.. Funsten, Of Alexandria, and others.
Mr.. MCFARLAND offered the following substi.
tute for the second resolution which reads as fol-
lows:
Resoised That in the opinion of this Convention
any suOh line Of steamships between any port in the
Southern States aud any port in Europe. should,
when established, receive from the General Govern
ment equal employment and remuneration in the
ryins OF ocean mails to that which is received by any
line sailing from any other port ofthe United States
Mr.. EUNSTEN opposed the substitute, and argued
TO show that adopted it would have the effect of
inducing the South tor ely on the General Govern
lncnt, instead of upon her own resources.
Mr. Lyons, in order to allow gentlemen to pre-
pare for the dinner, which would take place at )
q OcDPk. moved IN ha
considering, as he did, that the subject under dis
cussion was one of the most important to come be-
fore the Convention.
The question was put to vote, and the motion
was carried i'll the affirmative.
On motion the Convention then adjourned to
meet this morning at 10 o'clock.
