pointnents are not confirmed By the Senate,

In the able letter of Hon. VIM. c. Riyes,
on the subject Of the proposed Southern
Convention, he refers to some considera-
tions connected with the interest of Virgil
MIA, which are not to be overlooked, and
which, in common with new Southern
Confsderacy" project constantly in the
view of those who are for pushing matters,
at once, to extremities -deserve very serious
examination by the people of our State
He says:
How would the system Of absolute free
trade, patronized by the Cotton States, ac-
cord with this condition of things in Firgi-
Mai With one of her staples-tobacco-
more heavily burdened with taxation by
foreign Governments than any known pro-
duction of the earth, and which, from the
necessities of their systems of revenue will
continue to be so burthened, and with rising
manufacturing establishments OF her own,
could there be an act of more suicidal rash
ness than for Virginia to place herself in a
situation, in which liking cotton" by undis-
puted preponderance in the councils of a
separate Southern Confederacy, would be en-
Abied to throw her ports wide open to the
free and indiscriminate admission OF the
manufactures and productions of foreign
countries, without any regard to her distinc-
tive and vital interests. ! glance at these
things to show that in the utopia of a South
ern confederaey, we should have no more
harmony and eoneord--in some things, far
less-than in the grand continental temple
dedicated by our fathers to American unity,
peace and freedom
