In the Judgment Of all dsinterested men, this Border
Conference is ouinenty expeient. 1t is demanded by
lust regard to the rights and interests of the Border
States Il offers the only hope of peacesbe adjustment
and of a restoration of the Union. 1t would be alike
presumptucus and indecorous, after all that has oc
cured, for Virginia to act without consultation With
her Southern sisters. And none can deny that any
action taken with the of the whole body oil
tue nOnseceded States would carry with far greater
moral weight than if adopted by Virginia alone
To carry out this programme it will be necessary Tor
the Convention to have adjourned session at some re-
mote dsy-say in October. In the time, the other
States will have acted the utmaum submitted by the
Border Conference and when the Convention comes To-
geber in adjourned session. it will take such final action
as circumstances may require.
This line Of policy will feel assured, meet the APP
probation Of Virginia The conservatives proper approve
it. and the wiser and more cousiderate Of those who
not regarded as altogether conservatye-such as Ex
President Tyler aud Governor Wise-have favored some
thing very nearly akin to it.
Iu the mean tme may we not exhOrt our Western
friends to postpone the consideration Of the State Con-
sution until the adjourned session? THERE'S not time
COW these questions Moreover they are cacula
ted to produce embarrassment in the adjustment otedera
difficulties. Let them lie over until the adjourned session.

1t seems that Mr. Pryor not satisfied with bis eminent
succ in stirring up the passions of the good people Of
Petersburg has thought it expedient for the welfare Of
the country and Of his native State visit this city for
the same purpose, but, God forbid, with the
cess l must confess that what | saw and heard at the
me ting assembled in this behalf at the African Church.
on Friday night indicated much more enthusiasm than
sense; and in the violence Of its proceedings and the
total want of personal respect recalled TO my mind
most striking parallel between the course pursued by
these frequent asembages in regard to the State Con.
vention and that pursued by the Jacobn Club Of
Paris in regard the National Assembly during the
ouion of 1928 trust indeed that is not the in
tenon of the people OF Richmond to initiate their ex.
ample but do verify believe that If their passions are
acted upon much longer by these
they will lose all self CONTROL anu if attempting open
violence they will at least and keep in subiec-
ton the moderate members of the Convention.
Mr.. Pryor certainly understands the mode of appeal
ing to the passions an uDIuly audience well Dan
ton or Marat; aud think upon the whoie-taking into
consideration the urceasing waving of the Palmetto flag,
and then the musical Introduction Of those three hun
bred valiant Petesburger bearing the Gag Of the South
Confedcracy snd fresh Palmetto branch from South
Carolina for the special occasionI repeat, nothing Of
It's kind could have been better gotten up better pro.
duced the desired effect. The outbreak of applause at
the sight of real Palmetto immense to impair
greatly the more pleasant demonstrations of the band,
and at the time, compelling Mr.. Pryor to resume
his seat sufficiently well satisfied with the success OF his
game With the Gag of the Southern Copfsderacy
pended over his head large Palmetto sproung in his

flag necessarily in his face my readers must acknowledge
that Mr. Pryor could not well do otherwise than make

TIE CONVENTION.

10 Hs Editor of the Hbig
You must be app lied OF the projigiou1 Efforts now
being made by the Seccsionist TO produce excitement
and create alarms among the people and excite their
preudces against the friends Of the Union in the Con-
venon. IL is knosn that some Impotence has been
manifested by the people the little THAT has apparently
been done by the Convention towards eiectng the pur
pose for which il convened. And the attempt h being
made to thOw the whole responsibility for the delay on
the Unon men the ground that they constitute the
m or,y of the Convention This is W Just and unfair
The fac. is that at least twOthrds OF the tue OF the
Convention, and of the Committee on Federal Relations,
has been consumed bv the SecesSOnsts including some
who we're elected Union men, but who have Uniformly
acted with the Disur0nists There il
ground for mpuipg any unnecessary delay to the Com

following statement No one, presume, expected or

We understand that Myers W. Fisher Esq, S ,ces-
sion member Of the Convention from Northampton,
deliberately propcs to the members fr the Wes; on
Yesterday. that the Secession members from the East
would Weld what the West demanded in regard to tax
alton Of slaves, provided the Western members would
vote for an orjnauce OF Secession. This proposition
mast strike every mind most remarkable and extra
ordinary one 1, Will especially cause the Shareholders
Of the las. 10 wonder and marvel not little. Besides,
/, IS confess on OF weakness and defeat on the part OF
the Secessioaists themselves.
We are sure, however, that the Western members
vs. rcpudate Mr. Fishers tempting proposition. II the
West be entitled TO its demands, in respect to taxation
on saves-and We shall express no opinion On the sub
ect q, presout-these demands should be granted by
the Els. from a sense OF justice, and in a graceful and
manly spirit That IS the solemn duty Of the East it. as
We have said acklowe5ges the justice of the demands

rights, aud bargain taem away for no consideration

s,i6cd il its demands, that section OF the.Sate should
