How does that effect the abolishinist movement and the possibility of secession in 1860? Although the South wouldn't like it before the Dred Scott no one of any substance claimed a state CAN'T abolish slavery and I can't see the South seceding over it. I think slavery is weakened considerably in VA as slaves merely have to get to MD or DE to not worry about slave patrols although they still have to go to Canada to be completely beyond reach.
