From the LynehJgg Tirginian (Bsli)
Whilst have been friendly TO so-called South
Commercial Conventions and opposed earnestly the
proposition that came from South Carolina to Virginia
last winter We have been inclined to ihnk that in yw
of the present condition OF public ltment in the South
il might be well for all the Southern States to select their
best able and patriotic citizens for the purpose OF

The convention suggested by Gov. Gst ought not to
be confined to the State Of South Carolina. For the ia
clitaon Of peace aud expression of the whole opn

necessary. Let them come calmly together-let good
sound mature men, representing their best interests aud
their dearest rights meet 10 cOuncias their fahers did
