We regret TO perceive, by comparison OF the
votes that have been given in for the Convention,
with those which were polled at the April Elec-
tons, that the number Of votes and the interest
the People, DO not correspond with the magnitude
OF the occasion. When did any -Deiiberative Bo-
dy ever assemble in Virginia, whose decisions
were OF such importance to the great interests
OF our fellow Citizens aud of their Posterty,
as the approaching Convention And why is it,
that most OF the counties, Tram which we have
heard, have mustered more thinly than when thew
were about to elect the members of their ordinary
Legislature! In seven Of the counties, whose
polls we have had an opportunity Of comparing to-
gether' TWO only have given larger poll for the
Convention-and these are, Charlotte about five
votes more, and Niddesex 60-Whie in the coun-
ty OF Frederick, the poll is 81 Short Albemare
81; Rockbridge ll6; p. Anne 1871; and Rocking
ham as many as l4l We call upon the People
TO arouse themselves, and turn out 10 the Poils--
Surely, " the gentlemen freeholders,'' as these
ttuary dignitaries are called on the Hastings, do
not know how 10 estimate the privileges they en-.
Joy.-The Non-freeholders will set more Just val
ue upon the Rights Of Suffrage.
In one respect, indeed, as far as the results can
be gathered from the state of the polls, sc. there
Is no hesitation in pronouncng they will bring to-
gether one of the most august and able Assem-
blies that has ever convened in the Common
wealth. The Lowland and the Upland are arrang-
ing some OF their strongest champions for the com.
balet the Highlands also send their most powerful
men into the field. They will want their abIest
Leaders to vndicate their rights, and 10 organize
such Constitution as may respect the principles
OIL the Republic without jeopardizing the interests
OF any section of the State.

TO the Editors Of the Enquirer.
GENTLEMEN-Ihe u s. Telegraph OF yester-
day, contains some remarks the late Nos. in
the Enquirer, over the signature of George Gin
ton, on Banking. For the present, l will only no.
tice two points, by stating two facs-thc first is,
that the writer of George Clinton is for putting
down the u. s. Bank, well as the State Banks;
and the second is that property sold for more be-
Tor at this time. l am, respectfully, yours,
PHILO-GEORGE CLINTON
