The Virginia Convention.

The discussion on the basis Of representation
which has already occupied 80 much time In the
Constitutional Convention Of Virginia is not yet
concluded. HENRY A. WISE has been making a
very long speech in defense Of the democratic
doctrine. BE contends FOR what is called the
suffrage basis or for representation according to
white population. Al the same time, be svows
bis readiness TO ield to any compromise the Con.
veDton may sgree on and the people accept
though with determination still 20 Ggitate for
what he conceiyes 10 be the only right ground to
build 3 Government upon. We have not seen
any report Of this speech by Mr. Wise, but jads-
ing from bis previous efforts in the Convention,
il must have been marked by passages Of great
eloquence and briIliancy With all bis denoc.
rscy lie ayows himself q thorough pro slavery
man, and bis appeals to Eastern members not TO
array the West sgeinsi Slavery by sub ecting il
TO the government Of a SAvsboldiDg minority in
the East, shoE that be understands whst viii

property. The following is good specimen o.

ders it certain that the Great Exhibition
will be opened on the appointed day. The
rumors Of disturbance then to be set on
foot have caused the British Government
10 concentrate thirty thousand soldiers
about London quito nee dless precaution
if all the trouble is az imaginary as THAI to
come from this side of the water. In
France it is said there is also great anxiety
as to what may turn up by no means
new feeling in that quarter. The Frank
fort Diet is certainly to be reconstructed,
and remain the supreme authority in Ger
msny until the next revolution. The Duke
of Saldanha has got up another insurrec-
ton in Portugal, on what special point we
are not informed, though Of course it is al
together aristecraric in its purposes. From
Turkey we have the painful intelligence
that Kossuth and his immediate friends
are still to be kept at Kutabia under the
surveillance Of the Turkish authorities
We had hoped for better things.

The Pro gress Of an Idea.

1t is now something more than ten years
since the idea of industrial and domestic
Association was preached in this country.
The avidity with which it was seized upon
by many minds must be we'll remembered.
1t produced an excitement in all directions.
The greater economy and security in liv-
ing and its expenses which it promised, the
increased independence, means of educa-
ton, social equality and happiness it de-
monstrated as possible and held up as cer-
tain, caused it to be welcomed by persons
of all classes, while the noble views of HUI
man Nature and Divine Providence it set
forth, the radiance with which it seemed
TO light up the obscurities of the Past and
illumiue the Future of Humanity, exer-
cistd a peculiar and natural attraction
upon the minds of the young, the ardent
and the enthusiastic. 1t seemed that thou
sands of men and women had long been
yesrning for some such announcement Of
more genial and democratic forms than ex-
istiDg society had offered, and when the
idea was put forth, it was like July san,
that in a day natures to golden ripeness a
field Of verdant grain. They adopted the
theory with confidence and satisfaction.
The experience of the Shakers, the Rapp-
ties, the Zosrites, was thought conclusive
as TO its practcability; and so, charmed by
the prospect of experimentally establish
ing the new system and drawing the world
after them, these admirable enthusiasts
FASTENED, with insufficient knowledge and
means, still more inadequate, TO real
lie the social order of abundance, justice
and harmony. Their failure was as deci.
sive as their efforts were imperfect. Com
Plete as was their sincerity and generous
as were their aims, they gradually yielded

INDIAN OUTRAGEs on THE MEXICAN From.
TERI is said that the Mexican Governmentis
already prepared to demand Of the United States
something like a million of dollars for damages
caused by the Indians on the borders, which by
the treaty Of peace we became bound to prevent.
We DO not know about the amount bat the claim
is undeDiably Just one. Not the least expensive
Of the Blooms secured to this Republic by the
thrice glor Us war with Mexico, is the guardian
ship of these Camanches, Nsvajos, and other alb
origines compared with whom our own Florida
Indians were nothing.
We learn from Washington that the Admins
tration will try and do something to check these
depredations but much they cannot do, as Con
gresI failed to make any appropriation forthe Pur
pose, and some OF the troops which would have
been most servicesbe for such a warfare have
had to be disbanded. Besides, these Indians do
not operate on small scale. They are under
stood to have got the greater part OF the Mexican
State OF Durango under their control, and it will
be no triaing matter to put stop to their forays
and reduce them to order.

This CITY and the Erie Canal.

The interest which the people of every
class in this City have in the speediest
possible enlargement of the Erie Canal can
hardly be overestimated.
The capacity of the Canal, as it will be
on its opening this spring, is sufficient to
afford transportation for 3,l20,O00 tuns, or
about 100000 tuns more than it actually
carried last year. It's capacity when fully
enlarged will be 7,280,0OO tuns annually;
and as the enlargement will reduce the
cost of transportation to less than half the
present rate, it is certain that by tho year
1855, when the work will be completed if
the policy for which the Wing party and
the more enlightened and patriotic mem
bcrs of the Opposition are now contending
be adopted, we shall see above five mil
lion tuns of the products of tho great West
yearly brought by that channel to Eastern
markets. And as the cargoes of the large
boats which would then be used on tho
Canal would not need to be transhipped at
Albany but could be brought down the
river without breaking bulk, still greater
proportion than now would como to Now
York. In fact it is safe to say that the
commerce of this metropolis would be
doubled by the enlargement of the Canal
What vast addition this would cause
to the life and prosperity of the City.
What a new demand it would create for
labor in every department. What new
markets it would open for every article of
mechanical skill, for every product Of our
factories and workshops. Is it not plain,
then, that every citizen, every merchant,
every mechanic, every lsborer in New
York, has a direct personal interest in this
great work? And does not every dictate
of common sense urge us to use all our in
fuence to contribute, by every means in
our power, TO hasten it forward
What is true of the City is true Of the
whole State. Its growth in prosperity and
power is indissolubly connected with tho
enlargement. Let the people of every
class and profession look into this matter
soberly, and they will find that their own
best interests call for the energetic prosecu
ton of this work. Only desperate poll
ticians longing for office have any Otherin-
terest; but of their wishes the people have
latterly not taken much account.

MINING, &c-The metallic ores Of Arkansas
are abundant in the vicinity Of the grounds be-
longing to the Choctaw Nation, where nearly
every variety of Silver and Lead ores has been
found, beIide traces Of Copper, and crystAzed
suphuret Of Iron in large quantities. No speci.
mems Of pure Galena or Lead ore, have yet been
discovered in this region, but the ore is ANAL
gamated with the ores Of Silver, and furnishes
rich supply Of the ArgeDtiferous Gslena The
great distance of the Mines of shis region from
navigation operates disadvantageously but the
proprietors are pushing forward their plans Of
improved transportation, and it is hoped that
few more EeaIonS will witness large shipments.s
Three fat boat loads OF Lead from the Neosho
Mines in Missouri arrived at Fort Smith on the
9th inst. They were consigned to a house in
Fort Smith, and the capacity Of the Mines for a
continual Iupply is confidently asserted.
