Excerpt from The Speech of Thomas J. Randolph, of in the House of Delegates of on the Abolition of Slavery: Delivered Saturday, Jan, 21, 1832 Mr. Goode of Mecklenburg, rose to move the following resolution: Resolved, That the select committee raised on the subject of slaves, free negroes, and the melancholy occurrences growing out of the tragical massacre in Southampton, be discharged from the consideration of all petitions, memorials and resolutions, which have for their object, the manumission of persons held in servitude under the existing laws of this commonwealth, and that it is not expedient to legislate on the subject. Mr. Randolph moved the following substitute to be inserted after the word "Southampton:" "be instructed to inquire into the expediency of submitting to the vote of the qualified voters in the several towns, cities, boroughs, and counties of this commonwealth, the propriety of providing by law, that the children of all female slaves, who may be born in this state, on or after the 4th day of July 184 0, shall become the property of the commonwealth, the males at the age of twenty-one years, and females at the age of eighteen, if detained by their owners within the limits of Virginia, until they shall respectively arrive at the ages aforesaid, to be hired out until the nett sum arising therefrom, shall be sufficient to defray the expense of their removal, beyond the limits of the United States, and that said committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise." Monday, January 16, 1832. Mr. Brodnax, from the committee on the coloured population, presented the following report: The select committee, to whom was referred certain memorials, praying the passage of some law providing for the gradual abolition of slavery in the commonwealth, have, according to order, had the same under consideration, and have come to the following resolution thereupon: Resolved as the opinion of this committee, That it is inexpedient for the present legislature to make any legislative enactment for the abolition of slavery. Mr. Preston moved that the resolution reported from the committee, be amended, by striking out the word "inexpedient," and inserting the word "expedient."
