We were. i'm error when we stated that the
VIRGINIA House of Delegates had agreed 10 re-
consider their vote on the Convention Bill. 1t
will be seen by the proceedings, in another part
of this paper, that the friends Of an oppressive
,ris,ocracv are still memorable. The Winches-
ter Republican has made calculation, showing
that The counties which voted for the Bill have
a population of sos, $40, while those that voted
against it have only 2l5, So5-leaying MAORI
" of oo,ss5 in favor of Convention. The
Iiarpers' Ferry Pree Press concludes an indig-
nant article on the subject in the following
strong terms:-
'The representatives of the petty counties oil
the east have the sway, and they are determin-
ed to hold it; and if the people oil the large
western counties are willing to submit to ty-
ranny as detesiible in principle, If not IN effect,
as that which existed prior to the Revolution,
we can only say they deserve "the proud mans
contumely, the oppressor's wrong" They need
no longer seek Legislative aid, since their mo-
dest requests barely receive common respect.
They must next speak in voice OF thunder,
and, in the language Of some of the seventy
sixers, say, ave HAVE RESOLVED, and DO RE
SOLVE, no longer TO submit to such usurpations.'

In reference to the debate on the Panama
Resolution, the Editor Of the Winchester Re-
publican, pays a compliment to Mr.. Powell, OF
Virginia, which, as daily and close observers
of Mr.. P's course, we cordially assent to. The
Editor says, that "though he preferred another
20 the presidency, yet it aocords not with that
gen,leman's moral or political principles to be
in opposition for opposition's sake. Deter
mined not 10 anticipate error, but to approve
where his Judgment does not condemn, he is
fearless Of party rcproaches, and only mindful
of the broad interests of his country"
