UNcoMPRoMIsING.-T Editor of the
V;ndicator thinks withdrawal of the en-
tire Western delegation from the Conven-
ton would be the best thing that could be
done, and says to them, "stand frm--and
if there is no alternative between the Mix
ed Basis and a withdrawal prefer the latter
and CONE HoMBp' Now, we must record
our dissent to any such advice. Such a
step would be but the entering wedge to in
Vulnerable difficulties and the ultimate di-
vision of the State. Upon this latter point
our hostility is uncompromising, and we
cannot consent to countenance any proce-
dure tending to result so calamitous.
If the Convention adopt a Constitution
embracing the Mixed Basis, the remedy is
with the people. The same majority that
would choose the one basis if both were
submitted, can Indignantly reject the other.
Doubtless the VindicatOr viii battle man
h,lIv against such Constitution if present
ed to the people, inasmuch as he thinks the
cause of Western Virginia "the cause Of
,a,ties and admits ONO compromise" But
we NAV advise our neighbour not to carry
assistance too far. Let his opposition be
that Of moral power and not revolutionary
violence. If the Convention choose to a
