We commence, to-day, the publication oil the
Report Of the Minority Of the Committee, on this
important subject. Il presents the arguments
upon which the Western members rely in support
Of the white basis as the proper organization OF
the State Government, and upon which alone
many Of them declare they will support Con
vention bill.
We do no; know that the majority Of the Com
mittee have presented any argument in support OF
the bill reported by them, proposing TO organize
n Convention on the basis Of the present House
al Delegates (l34 members.) They will doubt.
less take the position in debate, that elected as
mere delegates under the existing Constitution
their powers do not extend beyond that instru-
ment. and that it remains for the Convention It.
self, invested with express authority from the
people themselves, TO Xix the future basis OF re-
presentation.
At n meeting Of Western members, II was
agreed 20 propose include in the bull provision
TO take the sense Of the people, as well upon the
bdsis, as upon the main question oil Convention
,self:-thus, "Conveniion or No Convention =
''white Basis or Mixed Basisl'
Thus was suggested a fair way OF testing
public sentiment, especially IN counties where 4
close division Of opinion exists, and IN which the
present delegates have no certain means Of form
ing a correct Judgment.
The subject will probably come up during the
next week, aud, from recent indications, will Gre
ate far less of excitement than was at one tune
anticipated. The prospect Of securing some nm
porant Internal Improvement schemes, has GER
fainly, for the time being, sngrossed the principal
share Of attention.
Besides, the unsettled state of our relations
with at least two foreign nations, may have hao
some effect in divertipg attention Tor season
from internal affairs.

Kirpinia Armoru School.

bill. similar to the pending last year has
been reported by the Committee on Schools and
Colleges. The bill proposes to disband the pre-
sent State Guard, and 10 establish, IN lieu thereof
Corps of Cadets, to perform all the duties OF the
said Guard, and TO consist u two cissses-the one
TO be educated entirely 10y the State, and the other
10 pay their own expenses.
IL is proposed to appropriate twenty-five thou
sand dollars annually for the support Of this
School.
There has, as yet been no action upon the bill,
sufficient to enable us to form an opinion Of It's
probab,e fate.

GEMS OF TRUTH AND BEAUTY

Good works are the souls true riches.
The glory Of men ought always to be mea-
sured by the means which they have used TO
acquire it. t..f.tl.,
An humble man is like noble tree, whose
branches are well laden and bowed down with
good fruit nAvt ,.t aas.3aa
II is better to know what we cannot teach
than TO attempt 10 teach what we do not know.
The rich man without benevolence, IS tree
without fruit; and the poor without patience, a
lamp without oil li4 z. 5 iea.
The earth is our work house, and Heaven
is or should be our state housea Our chief bu-
siness should be TO lay up treausures there.
1t will afford sweeter happiness in>the hour of
death, to have wiped one tear from the cheek
of sorrow, than to have ruled an empire-to
have conquered millions or enslaved the
world. e. 19.'
Moral principle is the citadel Of the heart
All education, therefore, which is conducted
irrespective Of this, is but the erection of out.
works TO besiege the strong hold of virtue.
The Columbian fountain., 1846-09-02
TRUTH.

The power of truth is irresistible. We
NAV run from il, but we cannot fight success
fully against it, No one by resistance ever
made the truth. false. II is possible to resist
the truth, or rather to turn aside from its infiu-
ence, but it ever remains the truth still. Like
God, the truth is eternal and Interchangeable. -
When truth is permitted to exert its hallowed
power upon us, it is sure TO benefit US, but
when we strive 10 push it from i'll from US, we
lose by the effort. Light is light: a man may
close his eyes, or shut himself up in darkness,
but all around him and his hiding place, the
light is still shining. Those who desire not to
walk in the light" are workers Of evil
while those who wish to be governed by the
ruth seek it, earnestly and continually that they
may be thus governed. 1t is a bad sign to see
men striving 10 get away from the truth, from
whatever motive, 'honesty is the best policy;"
and we love 10 have all come to the light that,
''their deeds may be made manifest whether
they are good or evil'' Men who know they
are doing wrong think to hide by feigning ig-
norance, or making apologies, or excusing
themselves, or by other subterfuges Of hypoc-
risy but if they would let the truth have its
way, they would soon be ashamed Of them
selves, and be led to abandon their evil way.
The world is blessed with the word Of truth,
as with the light Of the sun ; but how are they
welded to error, and soiA cling to their idols -
They seem to think the truth viii suffer by
their delinquency. Not 50. It must increase;
but they will be sure to decrease. However
they may think on the subject, the friends. adj
vocates, and lovers Of truth will come off
"more than conquerer" in the end. "Truth
must prevail.n ""aa

ARRESTED. John PulIam was arrested on
Sunday, near the Prairie House, by the Capt.
Of the City Guard, on suspicion Of having
committed the robbery on board the steamer
Polosi, short time since. He was yesterday
taken before Justice Kretchmar, for examina-
ton, which did not terminate before night,
and he was sent to prison for further hearing
to-day.
The evidence against him is pretty strong,
and but little doubt is is expressed but what he
will be committed to answer before the crimi-
nal court.
