Sir, the suggestion is false. It is contradicted by the past history of that*por- tion of the state — by uniform observation and experience. The slave population has increased since 1790, in the country the west of the Blue Ridge, in a ratio over the whites, equal to its increase in any other portion of Virginia. It has increased in a ratio alarming to every western patriot. In 1790, there were west of the Blue Ridge, but 15, 178 slaves — By the census of 1830, it appears that we have now 53, 4...37. It has thus nearly quadrupled in forty years. If such is the result of the ordinary sources of the increase of that popula- 11 tion — exposed too to continual drain as has been the case with us, by exportalion to the soulhcrn markets — wliat, I pi'ay you, will be the r. Ttio of its increase, now th;it ihe southern markets are closed — and the floodgates of an eastern reiinndancy arc opened upon us ? It pre- sents a prospect too liorriblc; to contemplate. Sir, the gcnllcman from Brunswick has made a discovery, for which the west must certainly feel under infinite obligations to him.
