citizen Of the Commonwealth, and the COM

REMARKS or COLONEL LAMB.
Colonel William Lamb, of Norfolk, followed,
and said that he thought it bud taste In tho
gentleman who had just preceded McGonl-
r gal to undertake TO give the views he did in
relation to the subject under discussion. He
, had conycrsed with intelligent immigrants,
and had found that there was the greatest
ignorance in relation TO the general conul-
ton. location, climate, soil, &C., of Virginia.
, He had at his own expense sent several hum
lred COPIES of Commodore Mallry's work 10

was not what was needed, though III
, itself il was a grand work. lie favored
the Governors plan. He did not think
Commodore Maury could represent an
the State of Virginia, even though gliieo
and even learned rs he is. He Thought q
good, complete, and full explanatory pampll'
let of the old State should be- printed ana dis'
seminutcd through all of EurOpe-printed III

! The only way out of the difficulty Is tt

, class who will work with their otrn hands
And in conclusion he said TO the members
!, the Legislature that he thought they mus
act at once. He hoped when their constitll
encies asked them for bread they would no
give in return stone, and when they askct
for bill i'll aid OF immigration they woul'
. not point them to the Virginia resolutions
