which Is Wrong!

Governor Floyd, in hS annual message
10 the Legislature in December last tod
the people of the State ihal the "amouni
Of the public debt was s7,5H,294,"
whereas the writer of i communication IN
the Richmond Enquirer of Friday April
10Th, signed 9. A Frceholder,' tells the
State that
"Ucr debt at he commencement OF the
late session of the Legislature was slrtee"
and Il half millions Of doIIar8, with per,
haps tco and c half millions more added
before the close Of the session. Is not
this state Of things startling ?"
Now we should like to know who is
right and who is wrong on this most vital
of topics. If we are to trust the oft re-
peated plaudits of "The Enquirer upon
the presen: Executive Of tie Safe, we
should suppose its correspondent " Free
holder" in error; but if It should prove
that the correspondent IS nearest the truth,
the inference IS, that whatever other high
qualities the Governor might possess, the
requisite one of correct iinanclerlng Is not
among the number.

The State Convention

For the cons ruetion Of an amended Con
stitution has been sanctioned, so far rs
we can Judge, by the people of Virginia.
This will prompt throughoutthe common
wealth vast upheaval of thought upon all
the great and profound questions which
lie at the bottom ofour political existence
We apprehend that upon the subject
of an extension of the suffrage 10 every
free white male citizen of full age, there
will be TO controversy worth the name,
and that universal suffrage will hencetorlh
be the rule in the Old Dominion. THIS
will be a great point gained, and will con-
stilute the wear 1850 new era III the
States history.
Equally popular and probable of adoP-
ton will be the change by which the peo-
pie at large shall relieve the State Legs
lature of the duty of elec,ing Governor
and take it upon themselves, 10 whom II
most rightfully belongs.
In the same way, improved means for
the election Of Judges, Sheritfs and Mag
istrates will be made the subject OF serious
cogita,ion, and we are fain TO believe that
these very important topics, involving the
dearest rights and interests of a commu-
nifty, will be placed upon footing at once
skilfuIy combining The requisite lndePen-
dence of the Judicial incumbent with a
sufficient responsibility for the just and
due performance of his functions.
SO far we think the Convention will 60
ca tremendously, differing Of course as men
will differ, but only differing BEAUTIFULLY,
10 the adequate sitting and turning the va
rous questions in all the lights and points
of view of which they are capable.
But tug Of war will come when the
exciting topic of the basis Of representa-
tion shall be opened up in the Conven-
ton. In point of fact there will be en-
acted over again an epitomized edition Of
the strifes and struggles of the United
States Congress, for in the State of Nlr-
ginia no unapt parallel is presented to the
condition Of the whole Union.
The Valley of Virginia, in feeling as
in position, lies between the two extremes,
and will probably act as umpire between
them. But we prefer to refer TO this ex-
citing topic by itself, in another place,

''Thc sting of Reproach is the Truth
of it,"

During the able speech Of Mr.. McFar-
land at Richmond on Saturday night, the
goth inst, he uttered the remark there is,
it is true, no resemblance in the motives
of the men and the ends Of the Hartford
and Nashville Conventions. Now, a.
greeing as we do with this genteman's
remarks ON that occasion almost entirely,
we cannot but say that we should have
been better satisfied with a demonstration
of the alleged dissimiiarity between the
two Conventions than the bare assertion
of it. We beg to say that the purposes
of both are precisely similar, that is to say,
if the Hartford concern has not been most
egregiousIy slandered. Disruption OF the
American Union, and intimate alliance OF
the seeding part with Great Britain, are
the great features that characterize both.
If these do not constitute resemblance
we should like to know where It is to be
found.
A Mr.. Lyons, who advocated the Nash,
vile gathering, made an appeal not to re-
peat the term Hartford Convention in
connection with that of Nashville. Mr..
Lyons might appeal as long as he pleases,
but until he can shew cause why the two
should not be placed in twinship, he can
not be gra,i6ed. We can easily under
stand the sore annoyance he and his fell
Iow-thinkers feel on this point, but the
fault lies nowhere else but in the fact that
the resemblance is SO palpable as not to
be mistaken.

the vote lhrown this year is small. The
County has however maintained its Wing
position. though not so decidedly as we
could have wished.
With respect to the Convention the vote
is very decided, and would have been even
more so, but for the fact that some of the

they were voting against.

Denmark-a Roral Nedalnr.

The marriage ofthe King OF Denmark
with the Countess Danner, the CT deUars:
court milliner, has given great offence st
Copenhagen. The solemnity was per
formed in the Palace Chapel. and two
Couniesses were commanded 20 ai.end-
the Countess Won Ahiefeld (the lady of
the Chief Clerk of the Closet) and The
Countess knuth. The youthful bride was
led 10 the altar by Baron Lwetzan, Mar
shall OF the Royal Household. The zero
mony was performed in the presence of
the Court, who were aitired in court dres-
ses. After the marriage there was grand
dinner at the Palace. The Hereditary
Prince Ferdinand led the Countess Dan
ner to table. and the King the Countess
Won Ahlefeld. A few days after the King
and Countess Won Danuer paid an unsx-
pected visit to. his step-mother, the Queen
Caroline Amelia The Queen Dowags,.
the widow of Frederick VI. forbade The
visit that the King and Countess intended
to pay her. The ladies' who attend cour:.
and who are highly indignant al this mar
riage, are under apprehensions lest they
should receive commands to wait upoa ihe
Countess Won Danner. This apprehon-
sion is the greater because it is knowa
that the lady in question has declared that
nothing will give her more satisfaction
than to see the ladies upon whom she
waited as their dressnaker now CONS and
pay their court 10 her Had
