short incarceration to effect his escape and took re-

RICHMOND TRUE!

Well! The vote has been taken, and, after all the
vocieratlons Of three public meetings, and countless
confident predictions Of white basis triumph the re-
suit is that decided majority have declared for the

can be little doubt that the voters who did not 90 10 the

STATE CONVENTION.

THURSDAY, May 8.
Mr. ANDERSON offered a resolution that the debate
on the pending question in committee of the whole

coon as the Convention shall resolve itself into COM
mee OF the whole.
Mr. Bolts rose and stated that he would vote for
the resolution 10 take fe vote, and added that he had
all along taken the position that his course would be

uar vote taken in this city yesterday, decided ma

oo not consider that vote entirely accurate test

was not put in way ascertain how many of the yo-
tiers were in favour ola Compromise, yet, as the ma
jorty had chosen to vote for the mixed basis and he
had no reason believe the decision would be altered
oy the voting to-day, he should take it to be the will
OF majority that he should sustain the mixed basis
tie would take for granted that the action of the cti
zens OF Richmond in conflict with the wishes
oil the counties until he should be advised of the contra
ry. But he said he should confine his support of the
mixed basis to voting for proposition A.

the proposition previously offered by him to submit the
question of white or mixed basis to the people.
Mr. Stanard then renewed the amendment of Mr.

Messrs Scott of F., and Mr. SUMMERS were the chief

u
The following are the terms of the proposition
introduced in the Convention by Mr.. Randolph OF
Albemarle, as modification of report A of the
Basis Committee:
Representation ia both Legislative bodies shall be APP
portioned amongst the counties, cities and towns ac-
cordng to the white population and taxation combined.
In making such appQronment there shall be allowed
one delegate tor every part OF said inhabitants
and taxation combined and in like manner there shall
be allowed one Senator tor every - part OF the
same provided that the representation of no city or
town shall exceed - Delegates and - Sena-
tors.
All taxation shall be ad valorem.
But valuation of the real estate OF the Common
wealth shall be made, not mole than one year previous
to each re.apportonment and the amount OF taxes
shall be est mated for the two preceding years with re-
ference 10 the ratio of that valuation.
Mr. Randolph stated, on Wednesday, if we un-
derstood him, that his addition basis would give
the East about len majority, though he expected
the increase of taxation to cause great enlarge
ment of this preponderance. If the scheme In
volved any principle, it might be worthy OF con-
sderation; but when all must see that it is utterly
| incongruous, that it propounds no principle, and
that the effect of it in giving the East majority
is purely accidental, we suppose Mr.. Randolph
himself will be its only advocate. The PROPOSE.
ton can only be regarded as cover to conceal the
movers detection from the ranks of those who
advocate the doctrine of combining persons ane
property in the basis of representation. Bytha
defaction the mixed basis loses his vote as effect
ually as if he were to declare openly for the suf
frage basis. With the avowal that his plan Of ad
ding people to dollars will in the end increase tn;
Eastern majority, he of course does not calculate
upon its securing any Western favour. His OBJ
lect must be to defeat the East, and the people o
| the Albemarle district ought to heed it.

"The Bar is fast losing its attractions to the
young men of this city. There are now thirty
young gentlemen that have received liberal edu-
cations who are serving their times as shin
wrights, architects, carpenters, &C. In few
years the United States will have the most ac-
compshsd mechanics in the world. A new class
is springing up who will put the present race of
mechanics in the shade The union of substan
tial education with mechanical skill will effect
this. Indeed, already we could name some me-
chanics who are excellent mathematcians, acquain-
ted with French and German, and able to study the
books in those languages connected with their
vacations. Heretofore fond fathers were wont to
educate thersons as Doctors or Lawyers, to en-
sure their responsibility and success That day is
past. Mechanics will now take the lead, and in
a few years will supply the larger portion of the
State and Federal Governments.
