CoMmUNIC ATIoNs.

Ness,s. Editors We frequently hear the ques-
ton 'asked--Wi The Legislature of Virginia at the
present session, pass an act authorizing the sense OF
the people of Virginia 10 be taken on the subject oil
Convention to alter and reform our Stale Con-
stitution2 AL! that we have seen on the sub
jet daring the present session is, that some member
introduced proposition touching the subject, and
Immediately one of our representatives pounced up
on it and declared uncompromising hostility, unless
the question as to the basis of the Convention was
also submitted to the vote of the peope-ihereby
calling up the old basis ghost the effect Of all which
is to Tighten both Eastern and Western men from
their propriety. This old basis hobby, conceive,
has been ridden to death. What do we care about
White Basis, when it is cler and conclusive that
we of the County of Augusta will not gain by it.,
but loose. There are other reforms the people want
They want the appointments by election, OF their
Governor their Clerks, and other officers.-ln short,
if the masses are born with saddles on their backs,
and only the favored few can ride bopted and spur
red, the masses wish 10 say who shall and who
shant ride
But 10 return to the subject we startled WITH
Are we 10 have Convention? Is II not clear that
the practical effect of the course of those who seem
to have but one single idea (he white bass) on the
subject Of reform, is to keep out Ola Convention
enu1ely 10 OUT representatives anu 'HoSe NV
act with them, expect the Eastern people iamely
to surrender the power they hold? This is nnnat-
ural. Then why keep up all this fuss abou. White
Basis, when nothing is 10 be gained, at least 10 the
people of Augusta? must say that onr represen-
tatives could not take course better calculated 10
defeat any and all efforts intended to bring about
Constitutional Reform. Judging from the signs of
,he times, it is becoming manifest thai the people
want a Conventions Constitutional Reform Why
mol let them vote upon the subject? What ma
tiers it to US upon what basis Convention is or
ganized? Why not, SO far as we are concerned
upon present representation A Convention is the
place TO meet the basis question, and humble as
am. | would here throw out suggestion for the
settlement Of that vexed ques,ion-et the Con-
venton restrict the Legislature in their powers of
taxation and appropriation. This would be just to
all, and arrest that system of taxation and aPPro-
priatien which under the log rcillng system must
involve the State in great and heavy liabilities.
! | have Messrs Editors, thrown out these sug-
gestions for the purpose of directing public atten-
ton to the subjects involved.

o. The following form Of petition is inserted
by request. We understand that it will be circua-
ted for signatures should it be ascerained that the
petition To which it is opposed will be presented to
the Legislature.
To Me Honorable, the Legislature Of TUginia:
The undersigned freeholders of the County Of
Augusta, would respectfully represent that in the
month OF May last, pursuant to the provisions OF an
Act passed by your Honourable body on the 3lst of
March, iS4S the sense of the freehOders of said
County was taken on the question whether the
County Court should On behalf nf tho rnnrle "fSed
County, subscribe to the stock Of the Louisa Rail
road Compauy the sum of $4,000 that being one
third part of the whole subscription authorized TO
be subscribed for by individuals, when il appeared
by the return of the pobook that there was Tor the
subscription 900 votes and against 1t 249 votes.
Your petitioners would further represent that the
above result was owing, in great measure, TO as
surances made by the friends OF the lax, that no
effort would be made to raise any portion OF the re-
naming Zoo by tax imposed upon the peo-
pie, but that it would be raised by individual sub
scription Notwithstanding said assurances, pc
tion has recently been gotten up praying your
Honorable body "to pass an Act authorizing the
County Court of Augusta to subscribe TO the Rail
road Company for an amount OF stock not exceeding
$4,000 in the same manner and on the same terms
and conditions as attended the subscription already
made on the part of the people of Augusta County"
Considering the tax already imposed sufficiently
onereus and believing that a majority of the free
holders of said County are opposed to any further
taxation,
Your petitioners would pray that 10 Act may
pass your Honorable body authorizing the County
Court of Augusta TO subscribe to the Railroad Com
pany for any amount Of stock on any terms or con-
diiions.
And your Petitioners will ever pray, sc.
