Upon the subject OF these dessolating evils,
which mar the prosperity Of the whole community,
in my next shall endeavour to be somewhat par
ticular. For the present will conclude by re-
commenting to the members OF the legislature,
friendly to the rejected bill, to hold meeting at
the Capitol before their adjournment, and take the
subject fways and means to ascertain the will of
the people, under their serious consideration
Among other means, they might advise the peo-
pie 10 open poll upon the subject in their res
pective counties, according to the ofthe

Assembly who does not promise TO conform to
their wishes for or against Convention.
ARlSTIDES.
p. S.-Since the above was in the hands of the
Editors, motion has been made i'm the House of
Delegates to re-consider the Cow en,ion bill.
Upon this occasion ten of the nineee members
who were absent at the first contest, voted in its
favour, and three other members, (from Fauquier,
Nicholas, and WOODY came over from the IOI
against it, which reduced that number to IS, and
gave Is TO the 81, thereby making the whole num-
Der who have voted for the bill 1907. On the
other hand, eight of the nineteen who were absent
from the first contest, voted against the bill; which,
added to the %, gave LOG who remain stedast
against the bill. So that, first and last, every
member has voted, except the absent delegate from
Patrick, which county Is a declared advocate for
tile measure. Thus 1t appears that 4 majority of
one has actually voted in favor of The bill; but in
consequence oil 4 greater number of the friends OF
the bill being absent from the house at each time
that the vote was taken, the minority have de-
creed the fate of the bill for the present. 1t re-
mains to be learnt whether this majority will final
y submit thus to be made the footballs of fortune
and return home TO their constituents with the gag
