their works, 10 convert the ore directly into iron

The COnvenfian

The Reiormers, anticipated, have swept
the State. They will evidently have every thing
their own way in the convention. We do not an
ucipate any dangerous results from this fact. The
reforms of the constitution, we have doubt, will
be conducted in wise and judcious spirit. The
most exciting and vexaous question will be that OF
Basis. The East lis unanimous for the Mixed Basis;
the West for the White Basis. If each adhere un-
compromisingly to its position, the convention will
prove an abortion, and any constitution which it
may frame be rejected at the ballot box. 1t seems
to us, however, that, if eastern and western men
meet each other III a spirit of mutual Cancellation
and patriotism, compromise may be agreed up
on, which will prove satisfactory to the jority OF
the people. proposition, like that offered by Mr..
Monroe In the convention of 1929, TO establish, is
the case in North Carolina, the Senate upon the
mixed, and the House upon the white basis appears
to us fair and rational proposition, though, in
thus speaking, we Of course only express our own
individual opinion.
We have been pleased TO observe, in the addresses
of some of the candidates, both and west, the
manifestation OF disposition TO each other in
a spirit of Cancellation and compromise. In the
prosperous and beautiful valley of Virginia, we
lind a moderation of temper upon the basis ques-
dent reformcrs Of that section, which augurs well
for the harmonious settlement of the sectional dis
putes OF the State. Its TO be hoped that, with the
establishment of n liberal policy and the progress
of improvements westward, Virginia, bound in
links of iron, will remain cone and indvsible" to
the end of time.
