We very much regret that a major
ity Of the Committee have thought it
/. best to report against the appointment
/ of Commissioners 70 the Southern
Conference. Although this was exs
ipected' from the committee, sosoon as
Athe Speaker announced TO the House
aspho ,coald compose that COMMITTEE.
The minority also make d report, ad,
vocatitEs the appointment Of Cominis-
sioners to tile Southern Conference!
is certainly a grave and seri-
ons proposition that the Legislature
now has ,rn4fer consideration. The
proposition came from our sister
Southern States to3 Virginia, and it
Tsimply is that Virginia be represented
ia tie proposed Southern Conference.
Ths object ot1tha Conferences Is 10 give
ITO the entire South an opportunity 10
4confer with each Others to- discuss
4 ever their rights in the, Union. and
slay down some common platform up:
on which they are al willing to stand,
and upon whicha4the States Rights
men of the Worth also can STAND 50
] Such q, Confluence can do no harm.
but may do a great deal Of good.
Such i Conference may save AtAe
+ Union may prolong the present con
federaey Of States. But If Virginia
declinesto confer with her sister States
saboutS matters Of such vast impor-
rance to her own welfare, THEN We
fear the days of the Republic are end
ed. For the cotton States ctH hold
q Conferences whether. Virginia con,
}fers witlliheln or not. And ID such
Conference, withont the wilIof Vir-
GINA, measures ID al probability viii
,~l,c adopted that will soon divide The
/ Union. II
we therefore hope that the report
efthe minority Will be adopted By the
Legislature, that Virginia will appoint
sGosnmissionsfs to attend such Confer
