Remarks Of Seymour Lynn. ESQ.

Delivered in the House Of Delegates Of the Lcgis-
lature OF Virginia, on Wednesday, March 1th,
pending the discussion Of the Conference ques
ton.
Mr.. LYNN, said, MIR. Speaker did
not expect to give utterance to one word on
this subject, and would not now ask the in
diligence Of the House, but from the remarks
that have fallen from the gentleman from
PittSylyania.
lie has placed me- sir between two fires.
| stand here under instructions from my
constituents to vote for Southern Confer
cnce; and he has undertaken by force Of a
most extraordinary argument, to prove that
all who support this measure, are IN tile
Constitution Of the United States, guilty ~
perjury. The gentleman admits, however,
that if the whole people of Virginia were
for Conference, that he would be the last
man to oppose il.
Now. Mr. Speaker, ! demand to know,
what strange spectre has fitted across the
vision Of the gentleman and members upon
this floor, rendering them totally blind to
their past conduct, and past pollcy-that
happily for the advocates OF this measure
are matters of record, aud open to the gaze
