RECONSIDERATION.

Mr. Randolph, of Albemarle has given notice
that to-day he will move, in the Convention, a re-
consideration of the Basis Compromise. What
the result will be we cannot undertake to predict
We have heard different opinions expressed, but fer
ourselves, we shall quietly await the denouement.
The more we have reflected upon the so-called
Compromise, the more we dislike it. In our judg-
ment Mr.. Bolts did not characterize it improperly
when he said it would establish in Va. the worst
government that the Convention could possibly
establish. We have never believed in the wisdom
of the East's attempting to secure protection by
means of divided Houses. The mixed basis would
have made all saveholdng Virginia homogeneous,
and had all the Eastern men had the frmness to
do right, it would have been carried without diff
ficuty or demurrer. Eastern vacillation and hints
at Compromise aroused Wester confidence un.
til, when the game came to the pinch, the minori-
ty fairly beat down the majority. A mis.called
Compromise was Matched between one party act
ing in body and few Eastern members who
abandoned their colours. The mighty voice of the
people has called back three of these failing cham
pons. Whether others will not faint in the last
trial, will be seen to-day.

EDUCATION.

The Convention, yesterday, had up the subject
of education, and long session terminated with
refusal to act upon it at all. Early in the day,
proposition offered by Mr.. Ferguson, requiring
the Legislature to devote the whole Literary
Fund and its proceeds to education in primary or
free schools, was adopted. This would, of course,
have prevented the application of $4,000, out of
the Literary Fund, to the support of the Unver-
sity, and, the appropriation, if made at all, would
have been directly from the Treasury. The
friends of the University naturally objected to the
Conventions striking So dangerous a blow at
the prosperity Of the institution, and debate of
some interest took place, from which, together
with various votes that were taken, we were sorry
to see that ina jority of the Western members
manifested spirit of hostility to the institution.
There is 20 just reason for any such feeling
The University is emphatcally State institu-
ton, and the State should no more think of de-
stroying it than Of destroying the Treasury or
the Auditors office. If the institution does not
sufficiently tend to the benefit of the people at
large, the State has only to prescribe the
reform which it wishes to be adopted
III OURSELVES, we uelleVe that lne university
may be rendered far more efficient than it is in
promoting primary education. We hope to see
the number of State students (who need not be
charity students, as Mr.. Wise supposes, but
students who obtain their educations on condition
of becoming teachers) greatly enlarged, and the
institution thus made to spread its benefits far
and wide through the Commonwealth by teach
ing teachers.
Mr.. Ferguson's proposition was finally amend
ed by addingto it provso, that the annuity of
the University may be appropriated from the pro-
ceeds of the Literary Fund; and then some
friends of the proposition concurred in motion
to postpone the whole subject indefinitely, the
effect of which will be to leave the matter of
public education entirely to the Legislature.
