PROGRESS OF HE CONVENTION.
Tho Convention does not yet sppesr 10 have
approached the goal OF its lsbours. Al least ne
question has been taken, which points out The
course II will ultimately pursue. On Tuesday.
the bass OF representation was passed over
for The present, with The ssowed hope Of digest
ing some plan OF a compromise and the other
great subject the Right of Sun,age, was la
ken up for discussion. II Will be seen ftom
our sketch OF its proceedings that several q.
nepdmenis have been proposed 10 the plan Of
the Legislative Committee. The proviso
which fixes tho Uaine ofthe Freehold, has been
stricken out; aud yesterday, MIR. " ilson of
Monongalia, suggested nm important Substitute,
extending the Hgh, If Suffrage, far beyond
Freeholders, lease holders. and bonse- holders
pay ing taxes TO an unspecihed amosnt. His
scheme indeed ienyes the right of voting sub.
jeci ~ very little qualification. One gentle
man pronounced 1t very little short OF Universal
Suffrage. II was supported by Messrs, Wn
son aud Hendersoa, and opposed by Mr.. Nhho
las, With much loree and ingenuity on both
sides. No question, however, was taken E; and
the noodgees being thus lifted up, the stream
Of discussion seem, likely TO run On lpr TWO or
three or more days longer.
