Of public sentiment on The exciting ques.
iians now agiiaiing both branches Of our
National Legislature, and on Me South
ern Convention proposed 10 be held al

After a few brief preliminary remarks

was organized by calling John b. Troy.
Esq. to the chair, aud appointing Isaac
j ii. Faust secretary.
II having been announced that John
Kerr, Esq, Of Caswcll, was in the place.

ing. and, il convenient, 10 address il. A
messenger was despatched to wait on Mr..
Kerr aud inform him of The wish Of the

addressed the meeting in a most able and
impressing manner for nearly two ho'rs.
His remarks on The importance Of the
preservation of the Union of the States
were eloquent, patriotic, impressive and
perfectly satisfactory n all parties. Mr..
Kerr's speech will long be remembered
by tie citizens Of Randolph. Mr. Walker

py manner for short time.
After which the following preamble and
resolutions were introduced by Reuben ii.

D6- OLD VIRGINIA yesterday entered upon
a new and more hopeful era fher history, by
ele,tiDg Reform Constitutional Convention.
Fer morn than half century the fountain
of party Domocracy, she has cherished IN
situations based on British Aristecracy as 1t
existed century ago, and as utterly hostile
10 penu;ne Democracy as could be imagined.
A LEGISLATURE 80 constituted that three
e;cbtbs of the voters could always control 1t
tho Right Of Suffrage based on Property,
and giving several votes to rich man and
none to poor one-a Governor elected by
the Legislature, and nearly every function
ary either chosen by the Legislature or APP
pointed by the Governor and Council-Such
is the inside Of the whited sepulcbre in
scribed 'the Mother of Democracy All
this is about to be changed A Free Basis,
Universal Suffrage, Election of Governor,
Judges, Sheriff., &c. by the People-such
are among the Reforms which the Conveu-
ton just chosen will assemble to inaugurate.
And Virginia will feel the impulse they are
calculated to give. She will stop driving off
and selling of her people, and begin to re-
build her waste places. All that she needs
beside to.secure her rapid reascension to the
eminence from which she has gradually de-
scended, is Just one more article in her new
Constitution, which we fear her Delegates
will shrink from the responsibility of insert

California Frauds.

Our Telegraphic report from Washington alles
ing the perpetra alton Of extensive frauds by US.
oficsr in California ia at best blind and laundering,
though we suspect there is some truth at the bot
.om oft We have no doubt the functionary more
sspeci.lly pointed at is Col COLLIER, Collector at
San Frsncifco, appointed from Steubenville Ohio,
and one q the few Taylor originals in that State
Who went to San Francisco overland via Santa Re
lest summer, with G very large retinue and alta
very large expense, which we presume did not
come ont Of his private pocket. Our private ad-
vices from California have led az 10 expect some
soi. Of explosion in that quarter, though We pre-
sumo the Col will stand ready at oil times to settle
his account az tho Courts shall adjust 1t II be can
not come to an understanding with the Treasury
accountants He is not the man TO Swartwout, nor
TO convey In any manner but such a. sharp law
yer would consider allowable and defenslble, aud
We presume the alleged extensive frauds
amount " ths-in bis accounts which have reached
the Treasury for adjustment, there are such items
a. 10000 PER month for the rent Of the building
used a. Cuitomhouse, &c. &c. which rather tend
TO widen the accountants eyes, and which, on re-
ference to Secretary CoKwIS, they are directed to
dissllow. bringing Col Collier heavily in debt. Hence
comes lawsuit on the event OF which Col. Collier
will i've ,hinhl pay whatever he is adjudged to
owe. We suspect commission will go out to
new Collector for the port Of San Francisco by the
next steamer. And very probably the natural de-
hcacy prompted by knowledge Of the entsngled
condition of bis brothers accounts with the Depart
ment has prompted the refusal Of the office OF A..
distant Secretary Of the Treasury by Hon John A.
Collier Of our State.
On one point we will stake whatever Yankee
reputation for guessing We may hsve-viE. that
these rumors Of cefcation do not touch the chsrac
ter Of JAcoB b. MOORE, Postmaster at San Fran.
cisco Hthey do, they Islander him most fouly.
1t viii yet be realized that the recent vast and
sudden expansion Of our Territorial limits is the
cause Of q long train Of mischiefs and disorders. /.
was the exeht OF is conquests and possessions that
uined the Roman Republic, and the same intiu-
ences now endsnger our own. An Executive at
Warrington, on the AZORES Of the Atlantic never
can exercise an efficient and adequate supervision
over subordinstes on the coasts Of the Pacific /,
will soon be found necessary to have a Sub Post
mater General on the Pacific, Treasury and
Treasury audit there, &c &c.-in fact, distinc,
executive machinery. And by'snd.by il will be
realized that 40 intimate and cordial alliance be
veen the AnslossxOn States Of the Atlantic snd

by several Senators, but no vote was taken.
In the HOUSE Mr.. ELIOT, the new member

tho Whole. Several amendments were con-
sidered and adopted, and the Committee
rose and the House adjourned without a
final disposition Of the bill.
