Ktlie of earl/ love's enchanting spring,
Of hope* burDt rainbow-like, of smiles and tears,—
With trauabliug baud do X unloose the atimg.
Twined round the ttcorda of to/ youlhluj years.
I'll nh/ preitrve memorials of a disair,
Too bitter-sweet (u bre.itiie of aught but pain!
Why couit fund memory for a liiful glecn
Vi faded bljta that ciuant liiooui again!
The thoughts an.l feelings these sad relirt bring
Dai-k on inv* bear!, 1 would not now recall:
Bmce geodcr lies around ita pulses cling,
Shall spells less billowed Isold Iheus st.il in thrall.'
Can withered boprs that never came to flower,

Love, that has lived through many a stormy hour,
Through good and ill,—and time and change defied!
Tenth each I ecord that might ssake a thought
That would be treasou to a faith like this!—
XVby should the spectres cf past joys be brought
To tiiug their shadows o’er icy present bins!
Yet,—ere we part for ever,—let me pay
A last fond tribute to the tainted dead;
XBourn o’er these wrecks of passion’s earlirr die,
With tears as wild as once X used to shed.
What gentle words era fltshiog on me eye!
What tender trutba in every line 1 trace'.
Coufeaaions—panu’d with many n deep drawn sirt.—
Hopes—like the dove—with but one retting piece!
How many a feeling, long—too long— rtprcit,

How maoy a vision of the lotnly breast

VIRGINIA. LEGISLATURE.
DEBATE OX THE CONVENTION.
Substance of Mn. Dr.n.M^ooj.K’a Speech, deli
tiered in the Senut: oj ,'irginia on the sub
ject of organizing a Convention to onteHil
t/i€ Constitution of the State, ,
[CoXTiJCUXD.J
Upon what bases then, said Mr. L). ought the
representation in the proposed convention to be
established? It is insisted by tlio zealous advo
cates of reform here, that the free white popula
tion of the commonwealth is the only correct rule
of apportionment. It deserves to lo borue in
mind, sir, that they state their proposition in broad
and general terms; that they maintain its univer
sal applicability. This rule of representation is
urged principally, however, for the purpose ol
procuring its incorporation in the new constitution
m reference to the election of members ot assem
bly, end to the future legislation of the country.—
There arc a few, 1 kuow, who endearour to draw
a distinction between representation in convention
anl In the ordinary Legislature; who maintain that
different principles and different considerations
ought to prevail in the constitution of the two bo
dies. But docs such a distinction in (act exist? If
in the organization of an ordinary legislature cer
tain principles arc admitted to Lc essential to the
protection of persons and property; it does seem
to rne, that the same principles ought, a fortiori,
to be introduced into the creation of a body intrust
ed with the higher lunction of framing the lex le
guui, the permanent fundamental law of the land.
The Senate has been entertained, and I dare ■Say
somewhat amused, if not edified, n nil the elabo
rate arithmetical calculations of the gentleman
trom Monongalia, (Mr. Morgan.) He demon
strates, to a single fraction, the relative propor
tion of representatives to which each section of
the state is cutitled. Ail-these calculations are
based upon the gratuitous assumption, that the
■w hite population is the true rule of representation
under all circumstances. I protest against the
idea of committing tire rights of the people, and
the safety of property, to the rules of arithmetic.
Pike ami Cocker arc doubtless good authorities in
the schools; but 1 do most peremptorily Jeny that
thoir treatises ought to be iutioduccd and receiv
ed here as standard-works in the scienre ol poli
tics, The highest skill in abstract numbers can
not establish the position upon which alone all ihe
etatemenls and deductions of the gentlemen rest;
the correct basis of representation is a subject of
argument and reason beyond the power of simple
figures to determine. I learned in my political
hornbook a saying, which I thought was admitted
to be “ as true us it is witty,” and had been re
ceived as an almost unquestioned maxim, “ that in
political arithmetic two and two do not alvray*
make four.”—it i had eutertained any previous
doubts on this point, the surprising demonstrations
uf the gentleman, must have removed them.—
The extraordinary results to which h- has sniv
el by an ingenious and skilful combination of num
bers, have almost forced upon my mind the con
v ietion that not only in political, but in common
nrithmelic, “ two and two do not always make
four.” He has, by the aid of arithmetic, ascer
tained most satisfactorily to himself, i sifppose, that
the male non-freeholders over twenty-one years
ot age do actually constitute the majority ol this
community, and do, indeed, sustain the greater
portion of the burdens of taxation !! The organi
zation of every government, said Mr. D. is radi
cally defective, which does rut afford complete
tccurity to persons and property; uml contain
guards against the danger of mal-administratioD.—
Uy this rule, the truth orjustice of which caunot
bo impugned, let us test the proj>o3a! to apportion
representation equally according to white popula
tion. If the ratio ol increase shall not diminish,
tha west is destined, in a short space of time, to
gain the ascendancy. Virginia will then exhi
bit this curious political phenomenon;—One sec
tion of the state will elect the major part ol the
representatives, and will, therefore, in (act,possess
power lo impose burdens at pleasure, and (o
appreciate th« revenue without restriction; whilst
the other »ectio». owning property w hich cont.i
butes three-fourths r»* the taxes, will elect a mi
nority of the delegates, snri will, therefore, be un
able to counteract schemes of unjust taxation. It is
r.a sufficient answer to our f«*:vrs, that Ihe proper
ty of the west, bring subjected lo precisely the
same measure of contribution with the property of
the east,will shield us from injj.'ice. If thepow
rr of the new legislature were to extend only to
the laying and collection of taxes, and not to the
subsequent distribution, our apprehensions might
be lulled by the reply. But grant the principle so
vehemently urged upon us, arid then even accord
ing to the present mode and rate of taxation, the
portion of Ihe people, having the unrestrained
j>ovvpr of imposing all fhe taxes, w ill pay one
rppropriato the ivhnlc s<wouat far their own benefit.
), Sir, tan very well afford to pay one dollar when
1 exact three of yon, knowing that 1 have (he
jrivilege secured to ine of disbursing (he aggre
gate at my own arbitrary discretion. ]ri such a
condition of thing*, I submit it to every candid
jnrn to declare,it property ha* any sufficient protec
tion against the temptation* to iniquitous taxation,
I5TUI If the expenditure of the public money i$ pro*
I erly guarded ageiu-t corrupt and abu>ive practi
ces. Would a Government with its Legislature
thu* eoustilufed correspond with i',» opinion <ie
dared in our L;il of Rights tlist, that is the best
l\*rni of government “ which is capable of produc
injf'.tho greatest degree of iiappiuess and safety,
end is most effectually secured against the danger
of mal administration?*' Under our Is tvs, for fi
joa'icial purpos'** s’.*’ 11 * a j'< ',c*ed * t(, i*■ or:•
ami iiojw them arc iu.-oii a Luge portion ot the i
Cummon wealth'* revenue. Nine-tenth* of this
branch of the revenue are paid by (he Eastern
section ol' Virginia, because nine-tenths of the(
slaves reside in this section. The disproportion is
so great, that the West can hardly be said to have
a common interest in them with the East; and,
therefore, this peculiar species of property might i
be selected lor invidious taxation. Is it the part \
of wisdem, to place a large and distinct interest1
i of one portion of the community at the mercy of
| another.* It is,then, tomy mind perfectly apparent, ’
I that a system of representation in Virginia, bas- ;
ed upon white population atone, without reference
1 to the remaining inhabitants or to the property of
tho country, is unsound in principle, because it
will atlbrd no security against unequal and uujust
. taxation, and will not prevent grosa abuse* in the
expenditure of the public revenue.
if property is to be protected, said Mr. D. it*
influence must necessarily, in soldo mode, bo in- '
fused into the operations of Government.
In all our ideas of Republican forms of Govern
ment, taxation and representation are inseparably!
connected. Taxation, with scarcely an excep- ;
tian, is updernbiod to mean an imposition of bur- j
dens on property; and the representative body is
invested with the power of imposing these bur
dens. Wisdom dictate*, and justice imperiously
; demands,that the representation should be so mo
dified as to prevent a tyrannical aud oppressive,
exercise of this power. Ill am not grossly mis*
' taken, the principle of connecting taxation or
property with representation, to a greater or le«s
extent, prevails not ouly in the Constitution of the
i United States, but in the constitutions of most of
i the State*.—In some, taxes, or property enter in
j to the rule for the apportionment of represents*
j lives; in some, a property qualification is requir
: cd of those elected to ono or both branches of the
! Legislature; in same, the voters themselves are
! required to have a property-qualification; and in
i some a provision is found, preventing tho Legis
I lature from intermeddling with a certain class of
; property. The Constitution of the United States,
i article 1st. sections 2, t), provides that taxes and
I representatives, shall bo apportioned according to
! the same rule.

, tion of the Senate to the provisions in the con
stitutions of South Carolina and Georgia.—,S. Ca
: rolina, articles 4,6, 3, and amendments,
Georgia, article 1, sections 4, 7, 8.
I do not mean, sir, said Mr. 1) to he under
stood as yielding my entire assent to the detailed
provisions in any one of these constitutions. 1
| have cited them only as instances in support of
i the general principle, that property must in
, some inode he represented and secured in the
formation of the government. France, ill-fated
France, affords an impressive lesson of admoni
i tion against the contrary principle. The Nation
; al Assembly convened at Versailles on (he 5th
•. May, 1793. This event was hailed with joy by
1 the votaries of Liberty, and it constituted empha
tically theiirst day of the French Uevolutiou.—
i The fatal, the ever-to-be-lainented cn or in Urn
! constitution of the Tiers Kstat was, that property
was not sutliciently represented. The wild ex
cesses ol this rcvolntionary struggle, the e/tusion
1 of blood, and the indiscriminate violation of pub-,
j lie and private, property, indicted deep rnortitica- i
( tion upon the advocates of popular government,!
t and at the same time furnished hut too powerful I
| an argument to those who deuied the r ight and J
tire capacity of the people to govern themselves.
I The transfusion of a property influence, to'
' -oine moderate extent in die National Assembly, |
: would have insured wisdom and stability to its j
j councils, or respect for private rights, and an '
indefatigable devotion to the best interests of the:
j Nation. To the inal-organizatiuu of the repre
sentative body, is to be charged the sad catastro
phe of the French Revolution,—but for this,1
France, like America, would have stood before i
the world a brilliant exemplification ot the prac-1
ticabiiity of self-government, and would ha”e ex- ,
hihiterl the lovely spectacle of order preserved, •
ami republicanism established.9 Whilst it seems
clear that property should have so much influ
ence as to give it secutify, and to infuse order j
and stability in (he government, it must fie frank-1
, Jy confessed, that the most serious dillicullies oc- ■
' cur in arranging the details of the plan. It would [
\ bo a task ol immense labor and expense to ascer i
tain the whole property of the community. The j
j tneie revenue is not a lair exponent of all the 1
j wealth of the country, because a portion exists in j
such form as to screen it from taxation, and aj
portion of that which is visible and tangible is j
exempt by (be policy of our laws. Special com
missioners could not ascertain fully and com- j
pletely the full amount of property ot every kind,!
even after the consumption of much time, without
looking too inquisitively into t'fle private matters
I of our follow-citizens. In addition to this.there is
a republican jealousy against an undue influence
of wealth, a constant apprehension that political
power may be contrac'ed in the hands ofits own
ers in proportion to their possessions, and (hat
thus an oligarchy or ari-uoeracy may lie created.
If it were proposed In dislt ibute political jiower
between individuals in proportion to their wealth,
the objection would f»e valid and well-founded.
But Ihe plan c£ dividing the representation ac
cording to the compound ratio ol people and pro
perly, Is exempt from the charge ol aristocracy.—
it is but a rule for distiibulion among all the
sections of the country, whilst it is no part of the
system lo augment (lie power and influence of
each individual,according to (ho extent of his
purse. The proprietor ol thousands t\ ill remain
on an eqo.il footing as to political privileges, with
the individual who possesses hut the hare quali
tiention ol a voter. Still, it must bp admitted that
a less complicated scheme of i epreseulaiion,,
which would attain the came object, would '
be entitled to preletence. lbs xrholc and not a j
selected part of the population, taken as the ba
sis of representation, will accomplish the same j
desirable purpose of affording protection both to!
persons and property. Hence, 1 maintain that I
the human beings residing within the territorial
limits ol the community, constitute the most ea
sy, safe and practicable rule (or the apporlion
! ment of representatives. Upon principle, the
I bond and free, the black and white, the male and
| lemale, ought all to be numbered in the arrange
ment of representation. But our western Lire- •
teren, apparently horror-struck, denounce Ihisj
idea a3 most odious—as the Hathaif feature of a
ristocracy. Iam persuaded, that if the relative !
number of colored persons in the two sections!
of tho State were reversed, that the propo-ilion
would then InFn mare than half its fri,/fitful d*. '
Jormilieu. However, the politicians ol the West i
maintain that slaves are property only under our •
laws, mid arc not to be regarded in the light of j
human beings inhabiting the common soil ol Vir
ginia. It is true, sir, lliat our laws in opposition
to nature's claim to freedom, subject* tlie black'
than to bund ape, trive* to a master the Controul!
of his conduct and Ilia avail* of his labor, but the !
same Jaws shield hi* person from barbarous cruel
I ly, and piotcct his life, by punishing with death
I his murderer.—Ill* life is guarded Irom deslruc- J
tion, even at the hands of hi* proprietor, e*pre«*ly ,
upon the ground of the criminality of shedding hu
; man blood, thereby dearly recognizirrg the *J*v<
1s a feliow creature, with an immortal soul, and
not’as a brute beast.— Whilst the position is main
! tained, that the slaves are inhabitants of Virginia;
, and constitute a part of its population, it Is rro* in
fetid to h- v n V’rj’o > I as ’n any w is** imoeachin^’
dig policy «f our l.iwf. whic\buidi( around thorn.:
•he tetter* of servitude, and trausfer* to another]
the fruit* of their toil. Storn necessity, a sacred
recard to peace and order, the paramoun* du'> of
self-preservation, plead our justification tor it o
continuance of a policy which we did not origin
ate, which violates the natural rights of man, and
at which our feeling* of humanity revolt.
In the organization of the Mouse of Reprcsen
tatives, said Mr. I). slave* are included and recog
nized as a part of the population. The govern
ment of Uie United States is mainly federal iu its
character; but the House of Representative* is
national, and was designed to present the feature
of impular representation. The II. of H. founded
fn the theory of a representation of the people,
enumerate* and embraces slaves as « portion of the
people. The principle was urged, a* I under
stand, in the federal Convention, that the represen
tatives should be apportioned agreeably to the
number of inhabitants, and that slaves constituted
a part of those inhabitants; but it was also con
tended, that direct tnses should be apportioned in
conformity with the same rufo. Rccause a much
larger, nenr.v the whole numberof slaves, were
found in the Southern States,a compromise was ef
fected. The South yielded a representation in
behalf, of two-tilth* ol its slaves, in consideration,
that in the assessment of direct taxes, two-tilths
should he likewise excluded. The north conced
ed, that the whole number of slaves should not be
included in the distribution of direct taxc*. pro
vided also (hat (he whole number should not be
included in the distribution of Representatives.—
" hen I view the vast disparity in the slave popu
lation in Hast and West Virginia, and consider its
peculiar and degraded condition, in a spirit of libe
rality, T should feel disposed to consont to a similar
compromise. As at present advised, I would ad
mit the federal ratio as the basis of representation,
without exacting of my trans-inontane brethren a
correspondent compromise as to taxation. The
appointment of President of the United States
rests principally upon the ground of popular elec
tion.—“ It wjs desirable, that the sense of tho
people should operate in the choice of the person
to whom so important a (rust was to be confided.”*
In tiie apportionment of elector* among the seve
ral states, the satnu rule is observed as prevails
in the arrangement of Representatives; with the
addition of two to each Slate, out of complime.it, I
presume, to their equal sovereignty. Now, if it
he right toeumneratc slaves a* a part of the pop
ulation in the election of President of the United
States, and iu the election of Representatives in
Congress, can it be radically wrong to urge the
same doctrine iu reference to (lie distribution of
popular representatives in Virginia? With what |
appearance of consistency can it he denounced
and rejected at home, and yet defended and main
tained abroad* It we mould our state govern
ment upon the admission, that tho tree while pop
ulation is the only correct basis of representation,
we mint abandon tho support of a different prin
ciple elsewhere.—We shall be constrained to yield
tri a corresponding modification oi the Constitution
of the United States in its national and popular
aspect, whereby we shall sustain a sensible loss of
numbers and influence in the House of Repre
sentatives, and in the election of President.
Shall »ve permit a struggle for sectioual ascen
dancy to lead to tlie espousal of doctrines, which
must present us in an inconsistent and humiliating
attitude, with reference to the other members of
the confederacy? Shall Virginia, heretofore dis
tinguished by her devotion to the Union, so often
pledged to support thu Constitution and maintain
its principles, become the first indirectly to attack
thn^e provisions, in the preservation of which, tier
self and all the slaveholding states have a deep, a
vital concern?
