A SCRAP FROM HIsToRY.-It is a circum.
stance somewhat remarkable that Virginia
was the eighth Slate of the thirteen TO give its
adhesion to the Federal Constitution in l7SI,
and is now the eighth State of the South to
secede from it. But what is more, her recent
reluctance to leave tie Union was only equall-
ed by her original aversion to becoming part
of it, under the Constitution that was presen'
ted for ratification. The Convention of 1851
was composed of members, majority of
whom were elected TO reject the Federal Con-
stituti,n and it was only after the cluse de-
clarng that "thc power granted under the
Constitution, being derived from the people
of the United States, be resumed by them
whensoeyer the same shall he perverted to
their injury and oppression, and that every
power not granted thereby, remains with
them at their will. was inserted in the orli-
nance Of ratification, that six or more OF the
majority opposed to the measure consented to
vote for it. Even with this accession OF
strength, the Constitution was carried only
by vote of 50 to 79.-Charleston Courier.
