The Virginia Convention.

The majority report reairms the doctrines of
States rights and declares Interference with
Slavery by the Federal or other authorities or
the people controversy to the Constitution, Of
fensive and dangerous condemns the formation
of geographical or sectional partes-demands u
fair partition of the Territories and equal pro-
lection observation-disclosures it is unwise, impoIitic
and offensive to accumulate within the limits of
State, interested in the irritated pending ques-
tons of war of the deepest Importance an un.
usual number of troops and munitions of war
INDUCES in the hopes of restoration of the
Union and fraternal feeliEgs-recommend the
repeal of unirendy unconstitutional Legislation
and the adoption of proper amendments to the
Constitution-concedes the right of State to
withdraw for just causes-alludes to the position
of the Federal Government disclaiming power
under the Constitution to recognize Withdrawal
without expressing an opinion on the question
of power-it desires to confer on the Govern
ment powers necessary to deal peaceably with
the question involved, and if necessary recog-
nize the separate independence OF seeding States
make treaties and pass such laws as separation
make proper. 80 ~.
The majority report commends the people of
her sister States to respond at their earliest con-
veniencc to its position and amendment to the
Consultation to be proposed hereafter. In case
Virginia fails to obtain satisfactory responses
from slaveholding States she feels compelled to
resume sovereign powers and throw herself on
her reserved rights. 1t lis made an indispensable
condition that a specific policy be adopted to-
ward the seeded States-that no attempt be
made to reinforce or recapture the forts or ex-
act payment of imports on commerce or any
measure calculated to provoke hostlities-thst
Virginia will regard any hostile action by either
side as hurtful and unfriendy and as leaving
Virginia free to determine her future policy.

Washington News and Gossip.
Tribune Correspondence

WASHINGTON, March l2-The ruu,ors about
Fort Pickens being gwen up are entirely un.
founded. This fortress can be reinforced, and it
will be. An extra session of Congress is likely
to be soon called to supply the omission of the
last and enabe the Administration to assert the
authority OF the Government. The policy will
probably be the repeal of the laws making the
ports of seeding States ports of foreign entry,
and to station national vessels there to prevent
ioreign importa ions. The forts at Key West
and Tortugas cannot be given up, because they
may be easily .einiorced and are OF national i'm
portance, in Il military and commercial aspect

1t is known that the intention OF the Presi-
sident is 10 first fill the vacancies which exist,
and which must be filed during the present ses-
sion Of the Senate, excepting in a few instances
other appointments will be deferred until this
is done. Ia the meantime, applicants are re-
qured to file their papers in the proper depart

LESLIE CoMns ON THE CRISIS. General Leslie

LESLIE CoMEs ON THE CRlsIs-General Leslie
Combs writes TO his son in Missouri:
"Mr Clay, the Immortal Harry of the West"
as he was sometimes called, gave me notice of the
coming danger more than quarter Of a century
ago South Carolina-leading tory state in our
revolutionary war-was ripe Tor dissolution in
1882 8, but General Jackson's energy and Mr.
Clay's humane wisdom postponed the storm
now bursting over our heads. So, after the a.
doption of the compromise measures of 1850,
sustained by Clay and Webster Of the whg par
y, and Cass and Douglas Of the Democratic party
South Carolina tried to fire tho southern hearts,
and in Mr.. Yancy's significant Language, "precip-
itate" the Gulf states in revolution. You will re-
mark that he does not say hasten, which means
to expedite or move them more rapidly into
revelation, for then they might pause, and stop
and turn back, when reason took the place Of
passion, but to "preeptate" them, make them at
once leap over the perpendicular cliff Of rebellion
into the burning gulf Of revolution, from which
he hoped they could never leap up again to the
broad level plain Of liberty and equality in the
Union. With this view and for this purpose,
they are now pressing matters in the South to
the shedding Of blood, supposing that in this way
they can even draw of old Kentueky--the birth
place of soldiers and patriots--from her firm at.
tachment to the Union, which Was formed by
Washington and his associates. and drag her at
the tail ofinsolent South Carolina. = Nav God
in his infinite mercy avert these dire calaniiies.
Ny son, do your dnty, and never disgrace your
native state, come what may.
II "Yours truly, LESLIE CoNRs"
