On few subjects are the public under more

Present majority for Convention 1850
Most of the strong Anti Convention counties
have voted. Halifax, Brunswick, Mecklen-
burg, Luncnburg, Surry, Amelia, King VII
liam, MiddleseN, and perhaps Nicholas, Ma.
son, Logan, and Allegheny, over the Ridge,
it is supposed Will give decided maiorities q
gainst it. Of these Surry, Amelia, King
William, Midd!esex, and the four over the
ridge are small counties. On the other side,
we have yet to hear from Fauquicr, Culpeper,
Madison, Jefferson, Brooke, Randolph, Cab
ell, Harrison, Bedford, Augusta, Pocahontas,
Wythc, Washington, Russell, Grayson, Tazc-
well, Lee, Kenawha, Greenbrier, Accomac,
and Patrick, which it is thought will give dc
cided majorities for it. Orange, Fluvanna,
Nelson, Monroe and Pittsylvania, are said
to be nearly divided. Lewis is believed to
have given 800 majority for ii, but VIC have
yet no return. Upon q view OF the whole
ground, VIC think it is safe enough.
p. S. The'vote Of Hanover, Charles City,
Luncnburg, King and Queen and Mccklen-
burg, (the four last Of which have voted
though no return has come in) has probably
reduced the Convention majority, TO five or
six hundred. I'm Hanover the majority D.
Gainst il. is said-to be near 300.
