II is with dep regret, that we understand the
bill for converting the Public Guard into Mill
tary School, WIS yesterday rejected-under the
erroneous impression, perhaps, that it would cost
the State NOR money-and that after all, it
might be less efciennt and valuable TO the State.
Under hope Tat the bill may be reconsidered,
and taking ieep interest in its success we
beg leave most especially 10 state, upon the best
information, tha both Of these arc gross mistake
and that thesamc amount of money cannot
be better emploed, than in establishing a noble
military schoolin the metropolis Of the Stale
We have the wy man at the head OF the Public
Guard, who is,mply qualified TO carry out this
important innoatioE. We understand too, that
he is anxious Or it-so deeply impressed is he
with the inesiimbe value OF the Improvement
We have no,taen up our impressions upon this
subject at randoi We investigated the whole
subject, closely ad deliberately, when the great
Education Convstion assembled in this city three
years ago. unsupported il in that Convention
with all our zealand it was then sopopular thai
il obtained neay the unanimous vote OF that
most intelligent ssembly. Circumstances, which
we will not invdigate, threw difficulties in the
way of It's adoIon, at The next session of the
LeeisIature-but has again come up under more
propitious circumstances, and we regret that the
bill miscarried sterday
It's said, howter, that motion will be made 10
reconsider it, ane fervently wish that it will pre-
vail. We praybat the present Legislature may
ssnalize its sessn BY one noble act Of public spi-
rr. This is one hnay il succeed and il will prove
a feather in the q oflhe Legislature. An obiec

well-iounded, ma be removed. For example:

.IHE MONROE CONVENTION.

From the proceedings Of This Convention,
which will be lonnd in another column, ii will
be seen that our present true and worthy Repre-
sentative, General Chapman, has been nomi-
mated as candidate 10 represent this District in
The next Congress of the United States
We (he Junior Editor attended the Conven-
ton, as delegate from the county OF Botetouit,
and are happy TO say that we never met with
more liberal, honorable OF social body OF high
minded gentlemen than were there assembled
We had five gentlemen in nomination, whose
claims were earnestly and zealously supported by
their friends, as was right and proper that they
should be, but 'uiOrs, concession, harmony. every
thing fer he cause aud nothing for men," were so
truly the watchwords ofthe whole delegation, that
when it was ascertained by the first ballot that
General Chapman was The choice OF an unques-
lionable majority OF the Democracy Of the Dis
trict they all united as band OF brothers in con-
curing in the nomination.
The delegation from Botetourt occupied proud
and noble position in that Convention. After
procuring for The Democracy of their county the
full weight that they were entitled 10 in the seec-
ton of candidate, and holding, as they did, a
vote as large as that Of three or lour OF The
smaller counties, they magnanimously de-
clined every thing Tor themselves or their
county, and cast their whole vote in favor
OF Inc Ialtnlul servant WHO noW 81 Huiy lc-
presents lhem While such disinierested spirit
exists among us who can doubt our SUGGEST
Our candidate is now fairly and honoraby in The
field, and with him We can beat the strongest
Wing in the District from 800 TO 900 votes Up
then, Republicans, and organize at once for the
contest. If Won ale animated by the same spirit
that prevailed in The Convention, your majority
cannot be less than 1000; and as We believe you
are, we may as well draw on you at once for thai
majority, payable on the 4lh Thursday in April
