A question is raised as to the result of the
Conventions finishing its sessions before the LIST
of August, which is possible if not probable
There can be no doubt that the act passed by the
last Legislature distinctly provides that if the new
constitution be agreed upon by the Convention not
before the Goth of June, and before the lst of Au
gust, the question of its ratification or rejection
shall be submitted to the popular vote on the fourth
Thursday in October, the day fixed by the same
act for the general elections TO the Legislature
and Congress. These elections will of course,
be governed by the present constitution. The idea
may be entertained by some that the Convention
might disregard the act of the Legislature and
direct the new constitution to be submitted at an
earlier dav so that if it should be ratified, its own
provisions for the elections would prevail. This
scheme, however, we cannot suppose to be very
seriously contemplated. The objections to it are
we'll stated by the Petersburg Intelligencer:
The Governor, in his proclamation, would certainly
give the people at least month or six weeks TO look
INTO Constitution which the Convention have taken
nearly year frame, and this would bring the vote
on its ratification rejection TO the middle of Sepem
ber After this, the returns from every county in the
State must come in and then the Governors proclama
ton of The result be sent TO every quarter OF the
Commonwealth. Now, we apprehend that there is
not sufficient time Tor all this to he accomplished be-
fore the election day in October. The truth is, that the
new Constitution, whenever il shall be finished, will,
until explained, be sealed book and dead letter TO
ninety in a hundred of the people, Nobody read
the Supplement and the sketches of the proceedings in
the Richmond papers were as meagre as gar BROTH.
All The people know is that the Constitution will
coulain many radical changes but what these changes
are remains yet be Is then the new Government
to 5e swallowed like pill and without being subject
ed 10 any analysis? We opine not.
1--WE may properly demur for the Times to the
ln;elIigencer' criticism upon the sketches of the
Richmond papers. Ever since the Convention
got to doing any work we have kept up very
fir, correct account of its proceedings, and in
formed cur readers OF every provision agreed

THE NEW ApPORTIoNMENT.

Our readers throughout the State will doubt
less examine, with eager interest, the report,
which we insert to-day, of the special committee
appointed to prepare an apportionment of Dele
gates and Senators, according TO the provisions
agreed upon by the Convention in the Basis COM
promise. We have not had time to look closely
into the report and prefer, therefore, to defer any
commentary upon its details. 1t gives Richmond,
we see, three delegates (Which is in accordance
with the suffrage basis) and one Senator. How
it will affect the political complexion of the State,
we have not yet studied, but upon cursory ex-
animation, it appears to be reasonably fair The
great increase of representation secured by the
Traas-Alleghany counties must, under any appor-
tionmont give large increment OF strength to
the Democratic party.
One remark is invited by the mere form OF the
report. The reader will aobserve that it arranges
the apoortionment under the two general heaoS Oh
"Western Representation and "Eastern Repre-
santatior," which, we presume, are intended to
enter into the text of the Constitution. This
formal recognition of g geographical dIstincuon
batween two portions of the same people, Isl ih
our Judgment, much TO be deprecated. Yet 1t
was scarcely to have been avoided by the COM
mttee, in complying with the injunctions OF the
m;s-called Compromise, at least with regard to the
Senatorial apportionment. 1t was made prom
inent objection to the Compromise, that 1t recog-
missed and retained the distinction between East ana
West. The objection was met by the frlends OF
the measure with the statement that they
did not propose to recognise any geographical
distinction in the Constitution, and that the
provisions allowing the East ten majority IN
the Senate, &C., were only designed TO sup
ply rule for the guidance of the COMMITTEE
of Apportionment in the adjustment of details
We sincerely hope that the Constitution Will con-
tain no alusion to any demarcaton Of metes and
bounds between Eastern and Western Virginia,
whatever may be the basis of representation
Had the Eastern Compromises taken just view
of the real identity of interest that exists between
TIE East and the greater part of the West, or had
they been faithful to their constituents, the mixed
basis would have been insisted upon, and all
slaveholding Virginia banded together by hooks
of steel But the virtual adoption of the white
basis affords no good reason for the establishment
of a geographical distinction by Conventional
legislation. The East has been defeated by its
own men, and it is better to be merged into the
victorious party than to attempt to preserve an
empty show of independent existence.
