We hope this will be Satisfactory TO those who have

southern Conference-virgfnia.

On Monday last the Joint Committee of
the Legislature of Virginia, to whom was re-
ferred the proposition of South Carolina
touching Conference of the Southern States,
reported the following resolutions as prop
er response:
Resolved. That the General Assembly OF Vir-
GINA, recognizing, in our present RELATIONS
with non-slav eholdiDg STATES, an imperative
necessity for decisive measures, does not yet
mistrust the capacity of the Southern States
by the wise and firm exercise OF their reseTV-
ed powers to protect the rights and Liberties
OF the people, and to preserve the Federal
Union. For this purpose We earnestly desire
the concerted action of the Southern States;
but the General Assembly respectfully sub
nits to the consideration of South Carolina
and all sister States of the South that tfncient
cooperation Can be more safely obtained ny
such direct legislative action of the several
States as may be necessary aud proper. than
through the agency Of an as-embiage which
cannot exercise any legislative powers except
to debate and advise.
Resolved, therefore, That in the opinion of the
General Assembly it is inexpedient to ap-
point deputies to the Conference proposed by
South Carolina.
Resofred, That the Governor of the Com
monwealth be requested TO communicate the
foregoing resolutions to the Governor of the
State Of South Carolina, and to the Governor
Of each OF the slaveholding States.
We presume these resolutions will receive
the sanction of the Legislature. Col. MEM
HTSGER, the South Carolina Commissioner,
probably anticipating this action, has left
Richmond and gone home. 1t is matter OF
congratulation to find that the "Old DOnin-
ion," notwithstanding the means brought TO
bear upon her to seduce her from her loyalty
20 the Union, maintains her integrity. The
proposed Southern Conference is likely to
prove an abortion; no State having as yet
taken steps to be represented in it, except
Mississippi.
