The Virginia Convention.

RICHMOND, Feb. 20.--A large number Of
resolutions on Federal relations were offered
in the Convention to-day. They generally
express attachment to the Union, and desire
an equitable adjustment, but denounce coer.
cion, and declare purpose to resist. 9th.
ers declare the Union of the South the safety
ofsthe South, and that each State should
speedily resume the powers delegated to the
Government.
The resolution was tabled for raising q
committee of inquiry whether any movement
of arms or men had been made by the Gen
eral Government to any fort or arsenal bor-
dering on Virginia, indicating preparations
for attact or coercion. A resolution for q
Convention Of the border States at Wythe.
vile, the last Thursday in March, was re-
ferred.
A resolution calling on the Commission

My friends. this is wholly an unexpected
speech, as did not expect to be called upon
to say word. When came supposed il
was merely, to do something towards raising
the flag. may, therefore, have said some
thing indiscreet. Cries ofNo, no. IhaVe
said nothing but what am willing to live
by, and If the pleasure of Almighty God, die
by.
Mr.. Lincoln concluded amid great ap-
plause. The members of the City Council
paid their respects to him, and the process.
sion moved directly towards the platform
erected in front OF the State House. On
Mr.. Lincoln's appearance on the platform he
was hailed with outbursts of applause from
the surrounding multitude. Mr.. Binton, Of
the Select Committee, made brief address,
inviting Mr.. L. to raise the f1g.
Mr.. Lincoln replied in speech, stating a
cheerful compliance, with the request. He
alluded to the original flag of thirteen stars,
saying that this Dumber,had increased as time
rolled on, and we had become happy, pow.
eriul people.

certainly has been no Cabinet meeting to
day, to consider such dispatches as circulated
in connection with other reports.
Mr.. Lincoln's rapid passage through Bal
timore has been condemned here by some
who do not know the facts, which are these:
A set of INSCRIPTIONS political knaves ia
Baltimore, who had determined to turn Mr..
Lincoln's visit there to their own account,
arranged for procession from the depot to
his fatal.
Protection was asked by the rowdies OF
Marshal Kane, who protested against such
proceeding. He said Mr.. Lincoln would
be treated with all respect due him person
ally and his official position, but so obnox.
ious were the parties proposing the demon.
stration, that he could not ensure the same
respect to them. If they were determined
to brave it, it might result in some iDdignity
being offered which would be mortfyining
to the President elect, and disgraceful to the
city of Baltimore.
Finding that these men were fixed in their
purpose to make Mr.. LIS visit subserve their
purposes, the latter was advised by telegraph
to pass on to Washington without stopping,
which he did.
This advice came from gentlemen who
had the good name of Baltimore at heart
These advices from Baltimore had been an.
ticipated by special messenger sent thence
to meet Mr.. Lincoln at Philadelphis, with
dispatches from Gen. Scott and the War
Department, urging him to come through
Baltimore Unexpectedly, as they had specific
information of hostile purposes against him
there, in relation to which they could not be
mistaken. This information was obtained
through official secret agents.
Mr.. Lincoln dined privately yesterday
with Senator Seward and Mr.. Hamlin, and
attended st. Johns Church to-day 10 com.
pany with the former, with whom his rela-
tions evidently continue TO be of the most
cordial nature.
Mr.. Lincoln remains at his hotel quarters
and will not 90 to his private house, as an.
ticipated. He received several visitors to.
day. The hotel halls are crowded with peo
pie anxious to get sight at him. He told
his friends to let all come that would as he
was glad to see and welcome all.
He was public property now and would sc
far as possible ignore personal ease, as hii
duties would soon preclude the possibility o
general reception of friends.
Senator Crittenden and Hon. G. F. Ad'
ans called on him to day. The interview
between Senator Crittenden and Mr.. Lin
coin was very agreeable one. Mr.. Critten
den expressed himself afterward much pleas
ed with him and has strong hopes that hi
will save the country.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-The ceremony
of raising the fsg with "a stars over the
Hall of independence this morning, by Mr..
Lipcoln, was attended with all the solemn.
" due such an occasion; the scene being an
impressive one.
At the rising of the sun, croud Of people
streamed from all parts of the city towards
the State House, and very soon every inch
of ground was occupied. A vast number OF
ladies' were present.
The weather was cool and brnciDg. At
7 O'Clock Mr.. Lincoln was escorted to the
hall and there received by Theodore Guy Ter,
who warmly welcomed him to its venerable
walls in the hour of national peril and dis
tress, when the great work achieved by the
wisdom and patriotism OF our fathers seems
threatened with instant ruin.
Mr., Lincoln responded as follows:
Mr.. Cuyler: am filled with deep emotion
at finding myself standing here in this place,
where were collected together the wisdom,
patriotism and devotion to principles, from
which spraDg the institutions under which
we live. You have kindly suggested that in
nv hands is the task of restoring peace to
the present distracted condition of the coun-
try.
I have often inquired of myself what great
principle or idea it was that kept this Con-
federacy 60 long together. 1t was not the
mere matter of the separation of colonies
from the mother land, but that sentiment in
the Declaration Of Independence which gave
liberty not alone to the people of this coun-
try, but hope to the world in all future
time. Great applause.
| can say in return, Sir, that all the po-
litical sentiments I entertain have been
drawn, so far as have been able to draw
them, from the sentiments which originated
and were given to the world from this hall.
| never have had feeling politically, that
did not spring from the sentiments embodied
in the Declaration of Independence. have
often pondered over the dangers which were
incurred by the men who assembled here
and framed and adopted that Declaration Of
Independence, have pondered over the
tolls that were endured by the officers ant
soldiers of the army who achived that inde-
pendence.
1t was that which gave promise that in due
time the weight would be lifted from tht
shoulders of all men. This is q sentimen
embodied in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. Now my friends, can this country
be saved upon this basis! II 1t can, Twill
consider myself one of the happiest men 10
the world II can help to save it; ifit cannot
be saved upon that principle, it will be truly
awful; but If this country cannot be saved
without giving up that principle, | was about
to say would rather be assassinated on this
spot than surrender 1t. Applause.
Now, in my view Of the present aspect o

Legal Difficulties Caused by Sc
CeSSEOn

A curious question came up for discussion
before Judge Chamberlain, of Mobile, Ala,
on Feb. 8. 1t was involved in the case of a
fugitive from justice for crime committed
in the Eastern District of Virginia, and the
requisition for the delivery of the criminal to
the officer accredited from the above Dis.
trict was recognized by Judge Jones, of the
late United States Court Of this District, on
the very day of the passage of the ordinance
of secession and the last of the existence Of
said Court. On the ground that the act Of
secession nulli6ed all judiciary relations
lately existing between the State and the
United States, writ of habeds corpus was
sued out by F. s. Blount, E<q, council for
the prisoner, ROBBERS B. Armistesd, Esq ,ap-
pearing for the other side. Mr.. Blounta
pleaded that all statutes of Alabama and the
United States, providing for the rendition Of
fugitves from justice, were a dead letter
from the time of the passage of the ordinance :
of secession by the Convention, until they
were reafirmed by the action of that Com
vention upon them, which did not take place
until the 9th ult., and that, therefore, the
detention of the prisoner was illegal during
that period, as well as was the order for his
rendition, issued from a Court which had
become extinct with the act Of secession.-
Mr.. Armistead cited many authorities to
prove usage in similar eases, and TO prove
that even where treaties, obligatory of the
rendering of fugitives from justice, did not
exist between nations, yet hey had the right
to deliver such fugivives and they had the
right to request that such fugitves be deliv.
cred, to subserve the ends of justice, though
they had not the right to demand such dc.
livery. 1t was understood, and righteous
international usage, that the power to do 90
should not be the plea OF the propriety Of
shielding criminal-internatona relations
in these matters being those of simple equity,
when no formal stipuations existed for their
specific control. Judge Chamberlain took
the case under advisement reserying judg.

NEWARK, N. j., Feb. 2l.-Mr. Lincoln
and suit arrived at the Morris and Essex de
pot, in this city, at 81 o'clock, and were re-
ceived by Committee Of the Common
Council, headed by the Mayor and deputn-
ton of Republicans on horseback. On en-
tering the depot, Mayor Biglow addressed
Mr.. Lincoln as follows:
Mr. President elect: On behalf of the
Common Council and my fellow. citizens,
most cordially welcome you to our city, end
tender to you its hospitaities. | welcome
you, Sir, on behalf of the citizens of the
Metropolis of this State, in point Of popula-
ton and trade, who have ever been loyal to
the Constitution, maintained the integrity OF
the Union, and who entertain the ardent
hope that your admin istration will be gov
erned by that wisdom end discretion which
will be the means Of transmitting the Con-
federated States as unit TO your successors,
and through them to the latest generation.
Mr.. Lincoln in low tone, but with en-
phasis, replied substantially as follows:
Mr. Mayor: th9nk you for the reception
to your city, ard would soy, in response, my
heart is sincerely devoted to the work you
desire should do. With my own ability
cannot succeed; without the sustenance o1
Divine Providence, and of this great, free
hoppy and intelligent people, without that,
cannot hope to succeed; with it, canlo
fail. Again return my thanks.
The President elect and committee were
then escorted to carriages, and driven to the
Chestnut street depot, distance Of one
mile, through Broad street, which was liter
ally thronged with spectators, while every
available space on the surrounding buildings
was occupied. Patriotic manifestation
were abundant. The procession first formed
in the face of cold and almost binding fal
Of snow, which, however, coon subsidized, ant
was succeeded by genial sun and a bland
spring like sphere-emblemstic it il
hoped, of the future administration. AS th
train moved off, Mr.. Loncoln bowed his ac-
acknowledgements to the crowd from the rea
end of the car.
Notwithstanding the malicious posters
spoken of yesterday, not single manifesto
ton OF diSrespect was heard at any time, bu
plenty OF cheers were given to the Presi-
dent.
