THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER OUT AGAINST THE
DISCREPANCIES.

AS we publish to-day the Proclamation of the
Democratic Governor Of GEORGIA, summoning a
Convention of the People of that State for purposes
not compatible with the Constitution of the United
States, il may not be unacceptable to our readers
to know what the Democracy of VIRGINIA have to
say of that Convention and those purposes. With
that view we copy the following from the leading
Democratic journal of that State:
FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER OF SEPT. 26.

We advise the editor stick to Georgia. and to take
