force and ability against the policy of accepting
them as basis of settlement, even if it were pos
sible to have them engrsfted upon the Oonstitu-
t on OF the United States - sAss,sA-
THURSDAY March I4ib-Ex-President TYLER
concluded his speech. He desires Virginia TO
present an ultinatum, containing full and ample
demands, to the North and to the Border States,
as the only condition of remaining in the Union.
The propositions were referred to the Committee
on Federal Relations. Secession resolutions from
Lunenburg and Wythe counties were presented
by Messrs. Neblett aud Kent A motion to take
up a resolution upon the military defence of the
State, offered on the 18th ult., by Mr.. Richard

and Buckingham, were presented by the respec
tive delegates, with suitable comments, aud re-
ferred to the committee on federal relatiOns.-
The debate upon the committees reports was
opened by Mr.. Conrad, of Frederick, in commit
tee of the whole. He advocated the majority

Triumph of Mrs. Gaines.

In the United States Supreme Court at Wash
ington on Thursday last, Justice Wayne deliver
ed the decision of the Court in the long litigated
and earnestly fought case of Mrs. General Gaines.
The Court decided that Mrs. Gaines was the lie
ultimate child of Daniel Clark, and entitled 10
his estate, with the accrued rents, &c. The val
ne of the property is stated at two millions OF
dollars The case is of interest from the value
of the stake and the perseverance with which
Mrs. Gaines has contended for her rights, year
after year, and against all the battling obstacles
that have been cast in her way, and also from
the fact that the most, if not all of the property
which the Court has now decided to be her right,
is located in the city of New Orleans, within the
limits of the seeded State of Louisiana. 1t is
stated, however, that the decisions of the SUI
preme Court, in cases pending, will be reoogni-
zed by the authorities of that State.
