letter from Wheeling, Of June Ia, states thai
the Counter. Convention, opposed to the change O

county Of Marion, on the 7th July and that the
Convention win meet with the determination 70

This is coming to the point. We like the di.
RICHNESS, and We like the PROMISE in the fulfil.
ment Of which we have confidence.
And we believe we might safely reciprocate the
assurance, that controlled by their sense of what
is due to Virginia and her interests, the James
River interest, the South West, and the Central
West, will never consent to see Wheeling, the
second city of Virginia, swaRowed up by Bahi.
more, nor the trade of rivers which are Virginias
patrimony and inheritance, transferred to those
who do not live within hundreds of miles of their
banks.
We have been reproached for not freely ex-
pressing our sentiments on the subject Of the ap-
piication the Baltimore L. Ohio Railroad Com.
pany for the right of way through Virginia, and
the right TO intersect the Ohio at Parkcrsburg
instead of Wheeling. The fact is that we did not
at first understand the question and had paid little
attention 10 it. The Clarksburg Convention has
forced 1t upon our consideration, and with the
greatest respect for that body, and expressing too
our admiration OF the ingenuity with which they
enforced the Proprie;y of suffering the Baltimore
Company to strike the Ohio a. Parkersburg, we
do not think that more unreasonable claim was
ever addressed to the understandings of men.
We have no disposition at present to give our
reasons for this conclusion, conclusion come TO,
rather against the current of our original nclina.

shall be ready when summoned.

We learn from the official paper at Washing

timore and Ohio Rail Road Company, has been
appointed by Mr.. Polk Special Minister to Eng.
land ION the Oregon difficulty that he has ac.
cePted the trust and will sail abOu, the 18th July.
The appointment we think, is fortunate and ia
dicIous. MIR. McLane is experienced, moderate.
learned, sagacious, and las we here in Richmond
knowl interchangeable, skiI'n and adroit. He has
been in England in diplomatic capacity before,
and this is not without its value. He is no in.

and not by any fantastic standard.

declined by Gen. Hamilton, in addition 10 Messrs.
