an honor to his State, and every way worthy OF his il

THE CONVENTION.

Our State Convention is evidently bringing the
vexed question of the basis to an issue Satur-
day morning. Immediately after the body met
Mr.. Strother moved an adjournment until this
morning, in order that the two i'artles might have
time to arrange, if possible, some settlement OF
the differences between them Some debate &C.
CURED, in which Mir Scott of Fauquer very dis
tinctly ntmated his readiness to meet Western
gentlemen on middle ground, Remarks made
by Mr.. Flovd and Mr. Price seemed to indicate a
fixed determination to receive no proposition yet
rendered bv lie East as an honorable Comp ro-
mise.
It is row understood that every plan of accom-
mediation which does not make full concession
of suffrage basis, either at present. or within
period of ten or twelve years, in both Houses of
the Legislature, is rejected by the delegates from
the West. osuch terms it is, course, impossible
for the Eastern delegates to come, unless they
find that the detection of individuals from their
+, use leaves them in minority. The contest is
narrowed down to the question of mixed basis or
suffrage basis, and every member must act upon
his responsibility to his constituents and the coun-
try Under existing circumstances, we cannot
believe that any delegate who was elected to sus-
tain the mixed basis, can talter in its support If
the mixed basis is tt, be defeated, we hope its
friends will make graceful surrender, rather
than accept merely nominal compromise.

As evidence how yaIaiy and uHs@seiy hopes
were excited amongst the advocates of the suf-
frage basis, by the recent agitation in this city,
we copy the following artcl from the Staunton
Spectator:
Basis MEETING IN RIcHMoND.-A meeting
which the Republican represents as equal in
point of numbers, responsibility and intelligence
to any ever held in the city, assembled in Rich
mond, on Friday night last, to interchange views
on the Basis question. The meeting was adj
dressed by Judge Robertson, G. w. Randolph,
Esq, Mr. Joseph Mayo and others, who avowed
themselves advocates of the White Basis. The
Republican states that the demonstrations in favor
of the White Basis were overpowering, and that
the tide of feeling and sentiment was big, broad,
and swelling. After considerable discussion it
was resolved to submit the proposition of White
Basis, Mixed Basis or Compromise to the people.
The polls will be opened to-day and kept open
three days, if necessary, to obtain the entire
vote of the city.
This meeting in the city of Richmond, strikes
us as the most mportant movement which has
taken place since the Convention assembled. II
the Republicans impressions are correct the true
republican basis of representation may yet be Sc
cured If the people of that district should so in
| struct the Richmond delegation, they would either
vote for the suffrage basis or resign. In either
event the result would in all probability be the
success of the great principle for which we are
contending. tits certainly cheering sign to see
such men as Judge Robertson, one of the ablest
debaters in the State, and gentleman of strong
conservative feelings maintaining the doctrines
| of the West in the metropolis of the East. The
developments of this meeting argue a happy de-
cline of those miserable sectional jealousies thai
have dstractedthe councils ofthe State, la dis
position on the part of Richmond at least to sus
| tain right even at the expense of interest This
is the ground we have always occuped--the
White Basis as principle, not as question O.
power.
Let the advocates of the Suffrage Basis, in view
Of this important movement them maintain theil
| ground. A firm resolve not to rellnquish the
principles for which they have battled SO man
fully, is the only way to ensure success. Iftht
majority chose to thrust Compromise or Nike.
Basis upon us, let them do SO; but in the nam
of consistency, let them do it without the ''aid an
comfort" of White Basis votes

Secession in Alabama.

1t has for some time been evident that the hopes
of the South Carolina Secessionists are reviving.
of securing strong support in Alabama, if not
of bringing that State into full utilization with
South Carolina The facts stated in the follow
ing article of the Augusta Chronicle show that
the Seces.ioniss of Alabama, to some extent, feel
strong enough to show their colours
The Disunionists in Alabama are growing holder as
the canvass opens and openly precamng their pu-
poses of Secession. In the Montgomery tHillards)
District, they have nominated WIN. L.: YAKc1 an open
advocate of Secession and Dsunon for Congress; and
in Montgomery observe the "Atlas' has made the
addition of Secession Adpocate' to its name We are
reoiced this becau it presents fairly before the peo-
pie the true issue-Union or Dsunlon. In Georgia,
however they are much less frank and honest-for
while they sympahise aud act in concert with the Sc
cessionss and Dsunonists of other States they have
the manlness to avow their principles, and are ever
seeking avoid the true issue by hrsting others upon
the consideration of the people. lew months since,
they openly declared their purposes to discard old party
alliances and associations because the questions involved
in the issue paramount to all party consider
ATOMS Finding however, that the people would not be
duped into the support Of their reasonable purposes to
dissolve the Union they are now seeking to entrench
themselves again under the banner OF the Democracy,
and are calling most vocerously upon all Democrats
TO rally around the old, time-honored standard with
them.
The Mobile Advertiser, referring to the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Yancy, can avowed immediate Sc
cessionist and the author of the celebrated disun-
ion address of the Montgomery Southern Rights
Convention appeals to its neighbour of the Re-
gister, to say swhether he considers this a Demo-
cratic nomination And does he desire the cleo
ton of Mr.. Yancy?" Abiding also to the open
avowal of secession by the Montgomery Atlas, the
Advertiser adds
While movements so portentous ofev are in progress
at the seat of our State Government is it time to talk
about Dsmecracyor Whiggery9 Shall not every man
who loves the Union and values our noble system OF
republican government, whether Wing or Democrat,
cast aside tor the present his party preudices and pre-
dilections and unite with the TRUE FRIENDS OF THE
UNION to put down treason, extermnate the traitors
and save his country?

The ROTATION OF THE EARTH MADE VISIBLE
MIR. w. c. Bond, of the Cambridge Observa

hh Aeo4AIlON Of IHE LARTH MADE VISIBLE.
MIR. w. c. Bond, of the Cambridge Observa-
tory, addresses the following to the Traveller:
81 have succeeded satisfactorily in repeating
Foucaults experiment respecting the rotation Of
the earth. The new tower of the western wing
of the observatory found to be perfectly adapted
to the purpose. My arrangements arein this way
Across the top of the central pier, whichis hol-
low cone thirty feet high there is firmly fixed
wooden beam, having the centre perforated to
admit the passage of a wire and the fixing Of Tor
ison Circle, such as is used with the Gauss Mag
netometers. Tothe centre of this circle is attached
one end of silver wire, thirty feet long, of the
size commonly known as fine No. e. and to the
other end of this wire, is asteneda merac cylinder
weighing about four pounds, and determining be-
low In conlcal point on platform directly below
the weight and about thirty feet below the point
OF suspension, is inscribed circle of six and
half feet diameter, with the requisite subdivision
and radii. After giving the pendulum an unbiased
arc OF vibrations few minutes observation will
serve TO show with certainty the motion of the
earth on its axis, as the terminating point of the
weight will bs seen at each successive vibration to
arrive at the nothern boundary of the circle little
more eastery than it did at the preceding one."
Another correspondent says that this beau
lful experiment is simple that it may be readily
repeated in most of our dwellings.
