:, Mr.. HILLS would say little about the matter
of sending commiusivners. He loved mo Union
and his country; and it was because helloved Il
that he must speak. He did not believe this was
an olive branch from Virginia. 1t was projec,
tile from the extreme South. IL was mot pro
posed BY Virginia to meet US on equal terms.
They laid down their terms, and it is proposed
70 send Commissioners to meet on their own
terms without instructions, to yield every point
to them. II was q diplomatic net, and gentle
men are falling into It, He repelled all charge
Of disunion, and charged that the Democratic
party Of the North is 10 concert with those trait
ors of the South, to-day as it was months ago.
Mr.. SCOTT, OF Warren, offered additional in.
structions to those proposed by Mr.. Plants,
which were to amend the resolution by instruct.

of the people of this State, 30 as to make the

WHEREAs, Our sister State Of Virginia has
invited the State of Ohio to send Commission
ers to Washington, on the 4ih proIimo, to meet
like Commissioners Of the State of Virginia. AID
the other States in the Union, whether slavehold.
ing or non slaveholding, to unite with Virginia
In an earnest effort to adjust the present unhap-
py controversies, in the spirit In which the con.
stitution was originally formed, and consistent.
ly with its principles, and, whereas, we hail
with pleasure any possible mode of adjusting the
existing difficulties, that will not compromise
the rights and dignit Of our State, therefore,
ResOlped, That the Governor OF the State OF
Ohio be, and he is hereby authorized to appoint
FIVE Commissioners, whose duty il shall be to
repair to Washington city, ON the 4th day OF
April, Oh any earlier day, designated by two
thirds of the States 10 the Union, and there and
then discharge the functions Of Commissioners
Of Ohio In said Convention -''
Mr.. S. said soft hearts had been eulogized.
He had soft heart, and 1t melted at the sight
Of the slave driven across the land In cofles,
and ali the miseries attendant. He contended
that all we can do, is only TO compromise away
manhood and the constitution. It has been the
practice Of the democracy TO. talk about the laws
and the constitution and the union. That Ia
what we are for now, and nothing more or less.
He ccrld see no hurry about this matter; and
he would therefore counsel deliberation ant
time. Hecited the democratic assertion thai
this contest and this fight Is and must be be-
tween the republican party and the south. II
then, the fight 10 between them; what busine esl
has any democrat on this commission? Lei
the fight be between the republicans and tn,
south ;and let the compromiNs be made between
the republicans and the south. The demccrac,
had tried to harmonize, at Charleston, but the
could not. The basis was not so Offensive as il
is now. eaJ @ "a Iiae- ~

manded and resulted-yeas 49, nays 49, s,
