REPORT
Orthc Richmond Committee on the subject of a
Convention.

The Committee, appointed by meeting of the
Citizens Of Richrtorlf held at the Capitol on the
10Th of April last, report the best practicable
means OF promoting the views of that meeting" as
to the expcdicncy of revising e. amending the Con-
stitutioD of this Comnonwcalth--hae duly cons-
dered the subjcct-and beg leave to recommend to
their fellow citizens the adoption of the subjoncd
memorial, briefly expressing the principal grounds
OF the opinion then declared, :" that the present
Constitution of Virginia is defective, and requires
amendment" Your Committee, in recommcn-
ding Memorial to the Gcnei al Assembly upon this
subject, do not abandon the principle, that the right
to call Convention, "io reform, alter aud abolish"
the Constitution, is vested solely in "majoriy Of
ne community" We do not consider the interpo-
sition of the Legislature, indispensaby requisite to
effect such an object; but recommend an address
to that body, as a measure not only respectful TO
the representatives of the people, but best cacula-
ted to facilitate and expedite the accomplishment
Of our views.
itmay have been expected, that your Committee
would have presented their report at earlier day
But, as the subject is one of no ordinary magnitude,
and has been but recently agtated among our fcl-
iow-ciuzens we deemed it due to its Importance, TO
examine all the documents within oar reach Which,
might tend to clucidatc it, aud to bestow upon then
our best considerations. The prompitude therefore
which is usually considered proper in such cases
was deemed inexpedient on this oecasion-A al
which Is respectfully subnitted.

yond the power of Congress for the present ses-
sion.

the pleasure OF Congress to act upon. The at
tcntlye reader, recolecting what has hereto
fore been finally acted upon in either House
and looking atthe business which was transac,
ted yesterday, will be able at once to ascertain
the fate of any measure in which he NAV takes
an interest Among the bills and propositions
thus laid over, the following may deserve parti-
cular enumeration
The bill to reduce into one the several acts
establishing and regulating the Post Office De-
partmcnt;
The report on the claim of the heirs of Caron
de Beaunarchais
The bill further to amend the Judicial System

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY %, 1921.
JOHN RANDOLPH, OF ROANOKE.

Mr. Randolph, in execution of what seems to have
been sudden fancy, sailed from New York for Lii
xcrpool, in the Packet Ship Nestor on the 18th inst
On the of sailing, no addressed, as he did la
year, farewell to his constituents. 1t is strikingiy
characteristic.
On national topics, he dwells with bitterness. He
defends Mr.. Crawford with much greater zeal than
that gentleman has defended himself.-Calls Ed
wards ACCUSATIONS a base conspiracy-and Ed
wards himself miserable and self-convicted liar,
urged on to execute his base purposes by the pro-
mise Of protection from high quarter. Mr.. RAM
dolph expressly discl,ns reference, in this obscr-
walton, to any Of the Prudential Candidates
by this disclaimer, he authorizes his readers to To-
cate the remark the hes of that miserable and
distracted administration which, according to Mr.
Randolph's opinion, is nearly ready 10 dissolve in
its own weakness.--Mr. Randolphs address is ve-
hencnt defence of MIR. Crawford. Its iu,prudence
discovers its sincerity, if any such proof was want
ing. He applies the classic tale of Acteon and his
hounds, to the unsrateful persecution of Mr.. Craw-
ford, by ,s western people He has literally saved
them from estruction by the administration of the
discretionary powers of the Treasury Department.
They have certainly remuneratcd him with any
thing but gratitude.
= IT, says. Mr. Randolph, in conclusion, the people
of Virginia are SO mad as to have Convention"
he wishes to be considered as a candidate for it,
Some arc disposed to think, that Mr.. Randolph was
rather in this observation, and that he has
unnecessarily exposed his own sanity to invidious
criticism. report is also current that he has add
dressed an enquiry to ono Of the Delegates of Char
hinself might have an opportunity of opposing the
call af Conversion, in the next General Assembly
Of Virginia. This rumour is rendered exceedingly
probable, by the great zeal with which he opposes
the measure, and it would, we sure, be subject
of general congratulation to all those, who might
hope TO have an opportunity of hearing him.

RICHMOND MEETING.

The meeting of the citizens of Richmond, called
to receive the Report of the Committee, appointed
to carry into effect the Resolutions of former
meeting the subject Of calling Convention in
Virginia, held Tuesday evening, pursuant
10 notice, at the Capitol We refer to the Report,
and official proceedings, for ,he transactions of the
day.
After the Report had been read by Mr.. Munford,
Mr.. Leigh read his Substitute which has already been
published in this paper, with the accompanying Re-
solution. Mr. Leigh enforced his Substitute, itself
a powerful argument, with more than his common
eieuuence. We never heard him so happy, SO brill
liant, so tremendous. Before this evening" we were
in:ides enough dissent from the popular opinions,
that ne was gifted with extraordinary powers of
elequence-because had never heard him, on
any, but legal occasions, with the exception of the
several speeches which this question has extorted
from him.
We do. not think that Mr.. Leigh met the question
or arguments of the Memorial fairly. Than that
paper, nothing was ever mildcr, conciliatory
or anti-rcvolutionary. Every dispassonate man
who lads it, ii he does not ground his arms will at
least say that the views of the friends of Govern
tom are extremely reasonable, moderate, and they
are met by the proper spirit of harmony, and nutu-
al concession, attainable. This paper was worthy
of the examination of Mr.. Leigh. Yet monopolized
by his objections Convention, which he fancied
impresnable, he did not once, more than once,
that we remembers suffer himself to notice the argu-
men,s by which the was enforced i'll the
memorial.
The time occupied by Mr.. Leighs speech, and
the reading of the Report, and his Substitutes occu-
pied the Assembly, from a, to near g. when, on mo-
tisn of Mr.. 7. rutherford, the meeting was ad-
journad to Tuesday, the 1st June.

The apticipations which we announced in OUT
last are verified. There is no longer u doubt, but
that. Governor Yates will convene the Legislature
of New York, during the present summer, and pro-
badly at an carly period of it. We imagine that he
has bu. object in this movement, and that that
will be certainly Effected, viz. the repeal of the
listing ELECTORAL law of the State 1t is scarcely
probable the step of converting the Legislature
would be hazarded, without certainty, that the
end in view by il, would be attained. We have no
doubt, that the law will be changed, and if it be,
we have little, that the acavy vote of New York
WILDE given to Mr.. Adams.

LORD BYRON.

The last number OF the Westminster Re
view, (says the Boston Advertiser) contains y
particular history of Lord Byron's expedition
TO toGreece drawn up apparently in great pal''
from the papers left by himself. This naF'
ratlve is extremely interesting, not only rs
giving distinct account of the enterprises oE

from the information it gives upon the AFFAIRS
of the Greeks.
Lord Byron embarked at Leghorn in an
English vessel hired for the purpose. attend

Here he remained until the latter part o.

to do so were strengthened, when they obscr-'
we'd the influence which an eddy had in draw
ing the raft towards the shore. Mr. Monti
was soon within seven or eight yards of US
One of the seamen then seized the end of the
.ope, and made strong effort to throw it
towards the raft, but he lost his balance, and
fell into the water, dragging the line along
with him. The golden momont elapsed, and
the object of our solicitude was swiftly swept
away far beyond Our reach. His wife re-
lapsetl into insensibility, but not before she
had seen the form of her husband recedng
from hereyes, and at the mercy of the bound-
less ocean.
The man who had the misfortune to cause
this disastrous result, was allowed to clambcl
up the rocksquite disresarded-the attention
of all being fixed upon Mr.. Monti, wEo hoat-
cd so fast into the open sea, that we pcrceiv-
ed we had no chance of bcholding him much
longer.-Hc waved his hands to US several
times, with an air of resignation, but VIC
thought we once ort,' &C observed him enIca-
voring to iInpei the raft towards one island, by
using his arms as oars, and then suddenly de-
sst, as il conscious ofthe hopclessncss otthc
attempt. Fortunately the weather had become
very calm, and we knew that there was no
chance of his sinking while it continued 50,
and while the planks that supported him
kept together. We watched him till it srcw
dark, ana then set about providing ourselves
with place Of shelter for the night during
the whole of which, Mrs. Monti, i'll her ndcs-

and even where She WAS, and talked, laughed,

Notwithstanding the indubitable demonstra-
tons of Nr. Adams popularity and his undcni-
able prospect of being our next President, some
few partizans of MIR. Crawford, in Maine, yet
urge bis pretcnsions with unabatcd arJor.
While we honor the bravery which imPels a

not but think our adYersaries would save them
selves labor and expense, to say nothing Of their
reputation for generalship, by evincing little
respect for the temper Of the times Of the
