CoNvENTloN-OCEAN STEAMERs.-It has
been suggested by the Portsmouth Pilot, that ,
Convention assemble at Old Point, on the 4th or
July. The subject before the Convention will
be, the navigation across the Atlantic through
the agency Of steam. The propriety of present.
ing petition TO the Legislature for an act ncor-
porahng an Ocean Steam Navigation Company"
will be considered. The port Of Norfolk was de-
stined bynature for the greatest commercial port
of this hemisphere; yet its comparative mpor.
lance is literally nothing. Had the natural iac-
tiles OF Norfolk been put in the progress of deve-
opment, twenty years ago Virginia would now
be the commercial rival Of the Northern States.
We are glad that the question is exciting interest.
We hope that it will excite more. Virginia has
been inactive too long. And now, since the State
is being thoroughly furnished with rail roads; and
her mineral and agricultural resources are being
in the progress ofdevelopment, it is due TO her
growing wealth and importance that lines of COM
munlcaton be established between her and the
commercial ports of the other continent

A CIVIL Wharf.-The fruits of the Texas an.

the pear OF Napoleon, ready to fall. The hurried
manner in which che lone star" was tackled
upon the national insignia, lief, unsettled the
boundaries between the newly acquired State
and New Mexico. Subsequently, New Mexico
became our property. And what is the conse-
quence' The boundary lines between New Mex
leo and Texas are disputed The claimants are
now engaged in angry disputes as to the right Of
ownership, which have gradually warmed more
and more, until now we are actually threatened
with civil war. Our latest information is that
$500 Rangers have been ordered to march to

OF the Compromise will refuse all supplies until

JEFFERSON COUNTY wears the unenvi.

JEFFERSON COUNTY wears the unenvi-
able distinction of being the only county
of Virginia west of the Blue Ridge, in
which call has been made by either of
the two great parties for the meeting OF
the Nashville Convention. Is not this a
fact to be regretted Is itnot pity tina,
in a cause having so little TO recommend
it, Jefferson County should stand thus
SOLITARY and alone! We DO not know
how ii comes tc pass that any portion OF
the Democrats of Jefferson, comprising
as they do so many honest patriots and
good men) could have committed such an
error as this. Not being in their secret

A pin for Conyentionists.

The Southern Convention has me-
with decided rebuke in the home of the
late President, Mr.. Polk. A meeting was
held on the lst instant, in Maury county,
to appoint delegates, but it turned out a
complete failure. Maj. w. H. Polk of,
fered the resolutions, but they were op-
posed by Barclay Martin, and finally post
poned TO the lst Monday of May.
The Columbia Intelligencer gives the
following interesting testimony from Mr..
Martin concerning Mr.. Folks opinions
and public conduct:
"He alluded to the Wilmot proviso-
said that it originated with Jefferson, had
been sanctioned by Madison. Monroe and
Polk-and he had voted for the Oregon
bill with the proviso in it. by the request
Of Mr.. Polk. Mr.. Polk could not have
signed the proviso in the Oregon bill, un.
less he thought it constitutional"

Do You Intend to Vote

On Thursday, for a Convention or q,
gainst a Convention TO reform our State
Constitution. You ought to make up
your mind about it quickly. Perhaps you
don't know much about the matter, fer il
has been 100 little talked of among the
people. If you do not, we will strive &c
inform you, very briefly.
Well then, we tell you that the last Leg.
islatuIe passed an act calling upon you TO
saw whether you want any change in the
Constitution of the State of Virginia Dc
you want to take away the election Of
Governor from the Legislature, and help
elect him yourself! We believe you
ought; we think You do; and we hope
you will.
Next. Do you want 10 elect your
Sherifrs instead Of getting them as at pres
ent! On the whole we think it would
be best to have a change, and you will no
doubt think so too.
Then as to the appointment Of Judges,
it does not appear that the Legislature is
any better able to ensure good appoint
ments than the people. In fact there is
reason to believe that Judges are general
y elected by the Legislature for party rea-
sons. But the people Of a Judicial Dis
rict are not likely to put bad men or poor
lawyers upon the Bench because of their
party character. The choice Of an able
and upright Judge comes home too close
ly TO every mans private interest to al
low to party influences undue power. We
would like the appointment of Judges by
neutrality-suspicious. if possible
above and independent of Governments
and people; but as that cannot be, ii
seems ailel all that the best means left
are the people themselves, It works
well in other States, why not in Virginia!
I, will be for the Convention, in case it
meets, TO devise plans ensuing the good
behaviour Of the Judge after election.
About the election of Magistrates by
the people there is likely TO he considcra-
bic difference Of opinion. But we doubt
not that a Convention would adopt some
system at once popular and conservative.
TIE extension of the right Of suffrage
10 all who are citizens Of The State is also
one among the chief objects in view. We
suppose This republican principle will
meet your approval.
One subject that will open up much
discussion we have not vet alluded TO-
We mean he basis Of representation.
