Mr. TaulOr of Norfolk.

1t gives us pleasure to repair aninjustice which
we did this gentleman yesterday, in attributing to
him complaints of the supposed agency of Rich
mond in delaying the connection of the canal with
tidewater. We learn from Mr.. Taylor himself,
that he has neither expressed in the Convention
nor entertained, any such suspicion against our
city, that as citizen of Norfolk he has long main
tanned the identity of its interests with those of
Richmond, and thought it the policy of both to
press forward great central line to the Ohio, and
that he attributed the postponement of the Dock
connection to the same want of sound sagacity
which, he thinks, has generally marked the legis-
latlon OF the State on the subject of internal inn
proyements. We are glad to learn that we were
misinformed as to Mr.. Taylors views on this SUBJ
ject. In regard to the more important matter of
the Basis question, as our remarks of yesterday
were predicated on his published card, we did not
misconceive his declarations. What Mr.. TAYLOR
said in the Convention, in respect to internal i'm
provements, as connected with the subject of re-
presentation, was probably misunderstood, because
he was supposed to have participated to some ex-
tent in the sentiments of Mr.. Wise, with whom
abuse of Richmond is a favorite hobby. In late
most extraordinary letter the latter gentleman told
the people of Norfolk, that their city, was, by her
delegation in the Convention, "aidng Richmond
and Petersburg to retain the Pedmontese policy
to force commerce past her own port up Swan
neck rivers, and uniting with the Eastern up-coun-
try to keep back the West from Hampton Roads. !"
And i'll order to "cure their disease" he advised
them to instruct their delegates ''to sustain the
basis of the West-free, equal, universal SUI
frage free, equal, universal representation Mr..
Taylor has not come quite TO this point, but he is
! willing Indefinitely as YETI "to reduce the ma
lority"

THE CONVENTION.

Yesterday "wednesday Mr.. Smith of Kama
wha occupied the morning session, in committee
on the basis question. He addressed himself chiefly
to the arguments drawn from the principle of rep-
resentation established in the Federal constitution
and main tanned, by references to the proceedings
of the Federal Convention, that Mr. Madison and
George Mason advocated the doctrine of the white
basis, and consented to the federal basis only as
concession to secure the formation of the Union.
On the other hand, he argued that Hamilton, Gou.
verneur Morris, and the other monarchists of the
Convention, as he styled them, were authorities
for the mixed basis. Mr. s. spoke of the mixed
basis party Of "Old Virginia Eastern
Virginia-as the "Money party" and the "Mon-
archy party" and charged it with striving tyran-
nicaly and unjusty to hold on to the power of the
Government. He did not conclude his remarks
before the committee rose.
In Convention, Mr.. Seymour of Hardy, moved
to dispense with the evening sessions, and re-
marked that he did notthink it was expected they
should do the work ofgalley slaves; single ses-
sion of five hours was all their constituents could
reasonably desire. Mr. Anderson, of Botetourt
ODJoSsSu, ti"I " uoJ ldu uttu LA6u LOT Inc close
of the debate, and all the members who wished
to speak could not be heard unless the evening
sessions were adhered to. Mr. Seymour did not
understand the resolution adopted on the 4h inst.
as determining that the debate should be closed :;
it only fixed day when the vote might be taken
on the pending proposition. The previous ques-
ton was moved, and the motion being put to the
vote, large majority of the members present rose
in the affirmative, but most of these opposed to it
declined to rise when the noes were called and
so there was no quorum voting. The yeas and
nays being called, there was still no quorum.
and the Convention adjourned.
The resolution adopted by the body in regard
to closing the debate is in these words:
"Resolped, That the debate on the question now
Whole tn Basis of Representation shall close on
Friday the 18th day of April. at o'clock"
