SENATE-Mr Wiley called up the memo
RIA OF the Legislature of Virginia with reference
to the division of that State, and requestin the
Senators and Representatives 10 use their iDfiu
ence 70 secure the admission OF tire new State OF
Western Virginia. H. referred to the manner in
which the ale glance of the State was transferred
10 the rebellion in secret session and without con-
sulting the people, ana to the action OF the peo
pie OF North Western Virginia remaining loyal
to the Union, and forming a separate govern
ment
he claimed that this feeling for a division OF
the State was no new thing. IL had been FIRE
quenty urged by the PEOPLE of the State. Reason
and Justice were both III favor OF IL. There were
Sufficient number of inhabitants there, and
Western Virginia was completely divided from
the eastern half by the Allegheny Mountains.
Nature seems to have divided the two. Com
merce and industry both demand separation.
There has never been but little commercial in
tercours, between Western and Eastern Virginia
The difference of the social institutions and hab-
its OF both Indicate separation. Slavery can not
exist ia Western Virginia. and why should the
people Of that section be compelled 70 be sub
iectel To a system of laws calculated for slavery
which exists in Virginia The geographical po-
stiOn, climate, natural productlveDess aud moral
and religious sentiments of the people ab>olutely
forbid the existence of slavery in Western Vir-
GINA. he contended that The proposed State was
rich in mineral and other resources and would
make wealthy and prosperous State
The memorial was referred 10 the Committee
on Territories.
The tax bill was then taken up. the question
being on Mr. Henderson's amendment. that the
proposed tax on slaves shall not oe levied in any
State which has adopted the system OF gradual
emancpation-yeas Is, nays 20.
Mr. Fessenden offered an amendment 10 reduce
the proposed tax on slaves from ave dollars &c
two dollars each. being sufficiently high in ths
