The White Sulphur Convention.


This great Sanhedrim of sages have met,delibe-
rated drunk sulphur water discussed the affairs of
the nation and-done nothing. We say they have
done nothing; we mean nothing promotive of
the improvements of the State even of the one
particular scheme on which much wisdom
concentrated. In other respects, not embraced
in the programme, informed very much
was done: The pous soul of the worthy Presi-
dent was sorely yexed pistols and coffee" were
oft times in demand, and it was found rs impossi-
bic to oonfne the ideas of gentlemen,and partiou
larry of very retiring and undmbtioas politician
from Richmond, within the sphere of State poll
tics and state policy, us it would be to persuade
other modest Lions to attend only TO the bust
ness of their own lair.
We have already Published the report adopted
by the Convention. but will defer comments
til fuller proceedings received. The oonven-
ton was thus viewed. after the first days sitting
by a correspondent of the Richmond Wing:
al must confess, however, that | have little
hopes of anything being effected. The Conven-
ton itself is farce, and am sorry il is for
am far very far from being hostile to the Coving
ton and Ohio railroad-and should like to see the
friends of il exercise some wisdom and some dis
creton,and MOI stick TO what is impraeticable and
foolish, merely through obstinacy and pride of
opinion. If they would agree upon the wide gauge,
the chief difficulty would be removed"
